Irish Symbols and Sculpture

This grave stone not only stands out in Orlando's Greenwood Cemetery--it communicates visions of Ireland to me. Good sculpture does speak--doesn't it. http://www.greenwood-cemetery.net/

Cool bike rack

A handy new bike rack for city cycles. Cheerful, uninhibited and very sturdy. Santa & Cole urban elements feature distinctive designs that share the Landscape Forms vocabulary, but have a vernacular all their own. Minimal, elegant in their simplicity, and beautifully resolved, they bring an international spirit to our collection of outdoor furnishings for creating a sense of place. http://www.landscapeforms.com/en-US/site-furniture/pages/tactil-bike-rack.aspx

Structure from pine cones in norway

mexican architect iván juárez of x-studio has collaborated with the nordic artists centre at dalsåsen and the norwegian ministry of culture to create structure from pine cones in a forest in norway. the natural material was chosen for its symbolic connection to the surrounding area, collected from the forest floor and carefully stacked to make an enclosure. the pavilion wraps the viewer in the textures of the woods while directing the view upward through the canopy to the open sky. the piece reflects the process of creation, in which the architect walked through the groves, selecting thousands of cones to make a hand-made natural skin.
