Symmetric Top-Down Photographs by Martin Reisch Inspired by Nintendo Games of the 80’s

Always curious to know what was hiding behind big buildings or beyond a thick forest, Martin Reischstarted to photograph landscapes from above with his drone. That’s how he discovered interest in symmetry and a similarity with old designs of Nintendo games where the view was looking down from above. Strangely, taking pictures from that point of you could be very much like a game of the 80’s.

Unbelievably Tiny Paintings by Hasan Kale

Hasan Kale, an incredibly talented artist from Turkey, pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved with paint by painting inconceivably tiny yet beautiful paintings on… just about anything, really.

Kale’s artistic canvases include, but are not limited to, peanut husks, split almonds, banana chips, and beans – as long as it’s tiny, he’ll paint on it. He paints on inorganic objects as well, but the food canvases are more impressive because of their impermanent nature. And then there’s the scale to consider. Most of these are so tiny that they can’t be seen clearly without magnification, which begs the question – how did he do that!?

According to his Facebook, Kale has set himself the goal of painting a silhouette of Istanbul on a strand of hair. If there’s anybody who can pull this off, it’s probably him.

Song of a Coast

In the words of the artist Farhad Rahman:

The sea changes by time. Land lost with reaming past. New story created with a new settlement. Time changes people’s lives beside the sea. Mood of coast, swinging randomly, changing its landscape. This project start with aiming to portray the sea changes in the 580km of Coastal area of Bangladesh which is situated beside the Bay of Bengal.

Cinco Casas

Cinco Casas by Weber Arquitectos is a horizontal condominium featuring private-access areas divided into five lots that total 7000 square meters—of which 5800 are greenspace. Each separate residence design and its constitutive elements—as well as the complex as a whole—generates a remarkable sense of privacy.

Balance is a fundamental consideration, perceived between constructed space and nature; each residence’s privacy and its openness to the forest; and the light, open, yet solid and welcoming materials that make it up. Each 300 square meter residence is divided into three principal areas:
