An aerial view shows parts of the biggest marijuana plantation ever found in Mexico, in San Quintin, about 350 km (220 mi) away from Tijuana, on July 13, 2011. Mexican soldiers discovered the plantation in a remote desert, a top army officer said on Thursday. Soldiers patrolling the area found 300 acres (120 hectares) of pot plants being tended by dozens of men

London, 1949:

The Guinness Deep-Sea Bar.

 London-based architecture practice, Jump Studios, recently completed the interior of a submarine for the first ever Guinness deep-sea bar, which recently plunged the depths of the Baltic in the Stockholm Archipelago. Jump was asked to create an interior for the vessel (fitting a space approximately 11m2) that reflected the Guinness brand statement ‘Alive Inside’. And the solution was a fluid concept, constructed from GRP (glass reinforced plastic), that captures the feeling of being ‘immersed in a dynamic, flowing experience’. 

Sculpted nooks for seating, tables and a bar all form part of the shell, which is covered in rubber discs, akin to bubbles. Some of the discs were hollowed out and inset with LEDs, while others were left empty to serve as receptacles for the all-important cans and glasses. Jump worked alongside carpentry and engineering specialist Nicholas Alexander on the construction of the interior, which had to meet stringent marine specs on matters such as ventilation and fire safety while also satisfying the operational requirements of the submarine.

The project involved fitting an object almost exactly the size of the submarine inside it – via two small hatches. The components were made at the Nicholas Alexander workshop in London (after exact measurements were taken of the submarine from its base in Sweden) before being driven out to Sweden and assembled in sub-zero temperatures.

The first ever photograph, taken 1826 or 1827. It was created by Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827 at Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France, and shows parts of the buildings and surrounding countryside of his estate, Le Gras, as seen from a high window.

The first-ever photograph with a human being in it, taken of the Boulevard du Temple in 1838 -- a thoroughfare in Paris that separates the 3rd arrondissement from the 11th. It is a busy street, but because the exposure time was at least ten minutes the moving traffic left no trace. Only the two men near the bottom left corner, one apparently having his boots polished by the other, stayed in one place long enough to be visible.

Brutalism in Ruins: Exploring Casa Sperimentale, Italy’s Lost Architectural Relic

As far back as the 18th century, people have been fascinated with ruins as picturesque compositions, but our collective obsession with the shells of forgotten architecture is not limited to quaint abbeys, run-down warehouses, and rural cottages.

In the town of Fregene on the outskirts of Rome, Italy, photographer and urban explorer Oliver Astrologo has been documenting a very different kind of deteriorated building: architect Giuseppe Perugini’s ‘Casa Sperimentale’ (experimental house), a wild, eclectic ode to Brutalism that is slowly crumbling away on a wooded plot near the coast.

The architect built the house in the late 1960s as a way to explore ideas pertaining to form and space at a 1:1 scale. Perugini passed away in 1995, and, for the past 20 years, the house has been left to deteriorate, steadily overwhelmed by plant life, and vandalized with graffiti.

The home is a striking, Frankenstein-like amalgamation of volumes that possess dashes of Paul Rudolph’s Brutalism and Le Corbusier’s Modernism. There are even echoes of Casa Sperimentale present within contemporary experiments by Moshe Safdie (see Habitat 67) and Rem Koolhaas (check out OMA’s Maison à Bordeaux). But Perugini’s house is far less famous than those architects’ radical residences. Astrologo’s new images provide a fresh view of this neglected curiosity and help tell its story to a new generation of architects.

The photographer places models within this melancholy but eerily beautiful setting to add a sense of scale and emphasize the contrasting textures of metal, glass, and concrete present within Perugini’s cacophony of brutalist gestures. From the cascade of glazed cubes to a gargantuan concrete sphere complete with a circular portal, the building, now, appears as an architectural playground where the original rules of program no longer apply.
