Poison Garden

Alnwick Garden in England is not like any other botanical garden you would joyfully stroll through taking in the beauty of the flora and fauna, brushing your fingertips on the leaves and touching your nose to the delicate petals to inhale the perfume of beautiful flowers. It is a garden where the most poisonous of plants are on display. Some of them are so deadly, they have to be kept behind bars and out of reach!

Earthscraper

Even though I am fascinated by the skylines of big cities with their skyscrapers, I also do not like how those same tall buildings narrow the view of the beautiful sky. Bunker Arquitectura from Mexico took the age old idea of building down into the earth and evolved it into an inverted pyramid to design an earthscraper and proposed to build it at the historic center Mexico City. I hope they get the opportunity to realize this brilliant project.
