In each, an agricultural or urban landscape, often apparently barren, becomes the site for a monumental object. The drawings are visual parodies of Le Corbusier’s concept of architecture as an object in the landscape, an idea exemplified in his seminal book Vers une Architecture (Toward a new architecture), with its images of ocean liners, automobiles, and airplanes-examples of technological ingenuity that stand as singular objects, more worthy of an absolute and dominant place in the world than any other current example of monumental architecture.</p> </blockquote>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/16795557892http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/16795557892Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:12:00 -0800architecturehans holleininfrastructurelandscapeunrealizedvisionaryart<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwqt470Hp1qk1wsoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>Mimesis</em></p> <p>Barbara & Michael Leisgen</p>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15990544702http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15990544702Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:46:05 -0800landscapeartphotographyperformancehuman<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwq7n0FG71qk1wsoo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15978985274http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15978985274Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:32:05 -0800google earthgooglegobi deserttechnologyland artearth artsatellite<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwq24dnfr1qk1wsoo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwq24dnfr1qk1wsoo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15967388461http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15967388461Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:25:06 -0800graphic designfonttypefacehelveticaarial<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxv7e5NZru1qen1xdo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxv7e5NZru1qen1xdo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxv7e5NZru1qen1xdo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxv7e5NZru1qen1xdo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tomasorban.tumblr.com/post/15914866676">tomasorban</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>mandala-like carpets made from google earth screenshots by David Hanauer</p> </blockquote>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15925632451http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15925632451Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:20:25 -0800google eartharturbanismurbanpatternssymmetry<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxqswsFFB81qzg58bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wowgreat.tumblr.com/post/15776020969/mondrian-remixed-by-graphic-nothing">wowgreat</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Mondrian Remixed (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilikegraphics/6306515310/in/photostream">Graphic Nothing</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15787749912http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15787749912Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:42:18 -0800artgraphic designmondrian<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxltvbbllE1qk1wsoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>from <em>Decadence-graphy Bernd&Hilla</em></p> <p>Assaf Shaham</p>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15637920686http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15637920686Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:46:11 -0800artarchitecturephotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxltqtoo8f1qk1wsoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>from <em>American Dream</em></p> <p>Assaf Shaham</p>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15637899743http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15637899743Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:45:48 -0800artArchitectureamericaamericanphotography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxazku2t6z1qk1wsoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>La Maîtresse de la Tour Eiffel, 2009</p> <p>Michel de Broin</p>http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15324464985http://nicologic.tumblr.com/post/15324464985Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:31:26 -0800artmirrormirror ballpartyurbanpublic art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgztzALnR1qk1wsoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tetrahedral Kite</p> <p>Alexander Graham Bell</p> <p>1898 -
