The World's Biggest Mud Building (42 pics)

Posted in       14 Apr 2011       12801

The largest mud building in the world is the great mosque in Djenne. It is made from animal dung and mud. The mud bricks form the organic shapes. Frequently, there will be pottery, calabash, or ostrich eggs on top of it to prevent its destruction from the rain. The timbers that protrude from the mosque provide the scaffolding that is permanent.

One Chinese developer wanted to build a factory on the land occupied by one apartment building.

They could find a "peaceful arrangement” with all of the residents of the building except for one family who didn’t want to go. The developer tried everything to evict them but in vain. Then the cruel harsh measures were taken to make this family give up eventually…

This pixel art is made of post-its on the windows of one of buildings situated in Toulouse, France.

As Sa Sainteté Gerard XV, who sent us these pictures and to whom we thank a lot, wrote it all started with one window and then the people from other offices followed the idea which gave this post-it pixel art.

Burj Khalifa – Opening of the Tallest Building in the World (75 pics + 3 videos)

Posted in PICTURES       12 Jan 2010       36222
Burj Khalifa, formerly known as Burj Dubai, is a skyscraper in Dubai, UAE, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft).
I’m sure all of you have seen some pics during the past years as the construction began on September 2004, but the famous tallest building in the world officially opened on 4 January 2010, and so, there’re new things to see..

We will see a bit of everything in this post, from the building itself to the opening ceremony that occurred recently. We’ll also take a look on photos of the construction, photos taken from different heights of the building, photos of the fountains and we won’t miss the world record of base jumping that has been established few days ago.
And don’t forget to watch the videos at the end of the post..

BUMPS Building Complex in Beijing (27 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       12 Jan 2010       11853
This interesting and rather unusual residential complex was built in China.
The building consists of a set of blocks which are shifted by 2 meters horizontally. It was designed to gain additional space that was used for the construction of terraces.
As for me, it looks something like a LEGO building, only in real life.

Another masterpiece of David Thorne. This time he’s messing around with a manager of his building who tries to recall him that it is prohibited to have animals in the apartment. To see David’s brilliant replies, go inside the post.
It is, of course, funny to read this all, but I wouldn’t like to be a person to whom David Thorne replies sarcastic It would make me kill myself n_lol

Two Russian traceurs in Saint Petersburg made an incredible jump from a nine-story building (35 feet high) to land on mattresses of the five-storey building roof (22 feet high). It looks very impressive and don’t worry, the two jumps were successful. And this was not some kind of training for a movie just two guys who are passionate about Parkour.
Hats off, guys!
