Smallest Community Garden in Los Angeles /
Manzanita Street is the smallest community garden in Los Angeles: 13 irregularly shaped plots terraced into a hill running below Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake. It’s largely invisible, unless you’re looking for it.

WOZOCO Apartments by MVRDV (via VotreX)
The innovative housing designed by Dutch firm MVRDV which features dazzling colours, a smattering of random boxes and the unbelievable, see-to-believe cantilevered blocks (the cantilever within cantilever makes it seem so impossible, so light and precariously attached). Makes you marvel in delight. All these for the elderly?I want to retire in a place like this!(via minusbaby)

Louis Kahn, Architect: Salk Institute
“To express is to drive.
And when you want to give something presence,
you have to consult nature.
And there is where Design comes in.
And if you think of Brick, for instance,
and you say to Brick,
“What do you want Brick?”
And Brick says to you
“I like an Arch.”
And if you say to Brick
“Look, arches are expensive,
and I can use a concrete lentil over you.
What do you think of that?”
“Brick?”
Brick says:
“… I like an Arch””-Louis Kahn
