Nakagin Capsule Tower by Kisho Kurokawa | Tokyo, Japan

Reputed to be the world’s first structure that implemented the innovative idea of capsule architecture, Kisho Kurokawa designed the Nakagin Capsule Tower based off of his sustainability concept called “Metabolism”, encasing his vision of an architectural movement representative of organic growth and restructuring within buildings.

The Nakagin Capsule Tower is a “mixed-system” structure, utilizing both traditional architecture with modern technology within one entity. It is made of two reinforced concrete and steel frame pillars of asymmetric heights, both housing public utilities such as stairs, elevators, plumbing, and electrical systems (Kurokawa 105).

Amazing Surreal Body Art Illusions

These incredible body paintings are almost more performance art than body art. The models bodies are transformed into beautiful creatures. These body art illusions are created by 25-year-old German artist Gesine Marwedel. The young artist uses the human body as her canvas despite that it is a difficult medium to paint and work with - its living. Her canvas breathes, sweats and moves. Her paint brush turns models into amazingly alive swans or dolphins, making it hard to believe it’s all painted onto real people. Marwedel admits that she loves how body painting helps people to rediscover their beauty. (via Beautiful Life)

Sometimes a new view makes all the difference.

the real message should be that people who listen to ayn rand are like babies

i feel like the zenpencils guy should have put the baby in a turtleneck and had it yell at dinner guests then run off to fight dragons

there are two wolves fighting inside every dragon. one of them is charles bukowski. the other one might as well be screaming “validate me! validate me!” do it. do it. do it. go all the way.
