Harry Rosenthal - Zweig Residence, Berlin 1930. From an amazing survey in Pentagram Papers a few years ago featuring Jewish architects living in Germany during the war. All had to abandon their practice, many emigrated, and several died at the hands of the regime. Rosenthal fled to Palestine and then England, and despite his success in Germany prior to 1933, was unable to reestablish his practice.

Here’s an “only in LA” art piece for you. Not sure what to say about it, other than that it’s an Airstream trailer in a oak tree 30 feet off the ground. It just went up in the last couple months. I won’t give away the location because I don’t want the city to bust them for permit violation (I’m sure it’s probably illegal) but I will say that it’s within 5 miles of downtown. That’s probably not enough to run a post about, but it’s that kind of weird things that makes me love LA. (via Los Angeles, I’m Yours)

Why I love LA: things like this.

The Earthscraper by BNKR Arquitectura

The design is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation. To conserve the numerous activities that take place on the city square year round (concerts, political manifestations, open-air exhibitions, cultural gatherings, military parades.), the massive hole will be covered with a glass floor that allows the life of the Earthscraper to blend with everything happening on top.
