The Viennese architects coophimmelb(l)au were commissioned to build the new Musée des Confluence. coophimmelb(l)au designed a UFO that hovers like a silvery cloud over the mouth of the Saône and Rhône rivers. This daring landmark architecture - similar to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg or the capital's airport in Berlin - turned out to be a spectacular multi-million-dollar disaster. But the image gain quickly outweighed these disadvantages. Access to the museum is via a beautiful park along the banks of the Saône, which invites visitors to take a relaxing stroll. #architektur #architekturfotografie #architecture #architecturephotography #modernarchitecture #bnw #urban #urbanism #urbanphotography #lyon #france #museum

I was interviewed about the public toilet situation in Portland.
Let's convene designers and communities -- again -- to pull together the best ideas in public restroom design, and put them to work.
20 years ago, PHLUSH was born in the collective effort that created the Portland Loo, now installed all over the world.
Post-pandemic -- post public trust -- are there better models?
