Gurunsi architecture in Burkina Faso and Ghana
Gurunsi architecture in Burkina Faso and Ghana
Neat as fuck
The phrase ‘wow’ comes to mind.
Why does this look like a horror movie poster? The suspicious stains running down the hill from that window? The insectoid design crouched as if ready to spring? It’s isolated position on top of a crag?
Or maybe me remembering Demon Seed?
I took a walk today, stopping in at the pet shop. These little cuties were there, apparently being sold as a pair. If I could have afforded it, I’d have them for pets.

Ah… the rounded rectangle house. I tried making one of these in Second Life years ago, but was put off by fiddly alignment and high prim costs. (The rectangle, itself, required 8 prims, and if the end wall was solid, that was 9 prims at least per wall.) You’d probably get better results these days with mesh.
Police Center Operative Headquarters, 1979-1983
Belgrade, Serbia
Architect: Spasoje Krunic
*I find myself regretting that this ISN’T the Belgrade Police Headquarters
I find myself regretting that this thing is tethered to the ground, not airtight, and thus unable to lift off and dominate the galaxy.
The inside of a mall is as close as we can conceive of what the inside of an arcology might look like at the present time.
When you think about that, it’s really rather sad. We can imagine a city or suburb compacted into a single(ish) building, but the interior is never anything but depressingly commerce-centric. Commons? Parks? Forget ‘em, we’re going with the neon mall cheepnis theme.
*Wow, an article about Yugoslav “spomeniki” monuments that actually explains who built them and why, instead of continually freaking-out about how alien and goofy they seem nowadays.
