1,000 recycled doors are enough for the South Korean architect Choi Jeong-Hwa to transform a dull ten-story building into a fresh-looking landmark. This ‘skyscraper’ in the center of the Korean capital Seoul has become a pixelated landmark, that tells the story of thousand people who once chose a fitting color for a door in their apartment.
Originally designed by John Hejduk in the 1970s.
Built in 2001 in the city of Groningen, the Netherlands.
Although it looks like a blurred picture, this is a real building in Paris. Amazing!

You’ve heard of trailer parks, especially in the United States, but what about trendy urban living spaces made out of converted sea containers? While it might seem a rather odd choice to some, shipping containers are immensely strong, long lasting, and if they can survive the storms and tempests of the world’s oceans, the drizzly London air shouldn’t pose too many problems. The image above depicts Container City II, completed in 2002, at Trinity Buoy Wharf. Located adjacent to the first plase, its bright colours and funky ziggurat shape offer modern work solutions within its 22 studios.
