The city I live in has a Rainbow version of a Zebra crossing next to the Rembrandt cinema. It shows that Arnhem is a Gay friendly city which cares for Gay emancipation, Gay rights and legislation against discrimination.


It got the nickname Gaybra path.




It attracted youth who play a game on it, because the alternative zebra crossing has the colours of one of their games

Nice colours. Anything different than grey is good in city space.

It has become trendy to build upside down houses after the first one in Szymbark (see the first post).

They are mostly campsite cabins or attractions in open air museums.

The house which looks like a bunker because the architect`s upmost priority was safety. The external walls are opened by electrical engines, revealing doors and windows.

Unfortunately, most comments are critical.

Shepherd`s Cabin
















polandin.com/37509316/polish-cottage-wins-architecture-oscar

A Polish architectural firm − Hola Design − received the Red Dot Award which is reportedly called the Oscar of Design.
Monika and Adam Bronikowski, whose practise does both exterior and interior architecture, were awarded for their project − Shepherd’s Cottage − situated by a lake near Zakopane in southern Poland.

The designers write on their website that the plot on which the summer house was designed is inclined towards the Lake Czorsztyn. The cottage offers picturesque views of the lake, mountains and castles in Czorsztyn and neighboring Niedzica.

The designer duo stated that the award was the most coveted for them in their professional careers.

“Shepherd’s Cottage is a special project for us for several reasons. First of all, because we were responsible not only for the interior, but also for the architecture of this building, this is a place that we created from the beginning to the end...respecting local tradition and landscape.”

The Red Dot Design Award is a sign of quality and design awarded by the Design Center North Rhine Westphalia in Germany since 1955. Designers and architects from 59 countries submitted over 6300 projects for the competition. The jury, consisting of about 40 experts, chose the Polish designers.

The official Red Dot Award ceremony: Product Design 2018 will take place on July 9. The winning projects will be shown at the Red Dot Design Museum which is located in a UNESCO-listed site in Essen.

That's really beautiful. Something lovely to look at whilst waiting for a bus.

The only unusual construction I can think of that I've seen is the crooked house in Sopot, but many people have seen it.

Because that`s a private house. Only outward views can be admired.

Crooked? I thought it was a stoned house.
