Today's ArchiPic #53

[All pictures' links were broken. I will make sure this never again happens in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience. This has been fixed for most recent posts. Older posts might still have this issue.]

Royal Ontario Museum from besttorontoplaces.com

Today's ArchiPic is a picture of the great Royal Ontario Museum.  There is only one word that I think of when I see this: UNIQUE!

Quoted | A Beautiful Life

These are some of my favorite quotes that I have seen across the internet and from some books that I've read.  This is a series where quotes about architecture becomes an interesting mystery.  Welcome to QUOTED.

It's no suprise that Today's quotes are from Frank Lloyd Wright.  Enjoy.

"So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal..."


"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life."



Back to the BIG Series

I am going to start to post more on my longer series like Dazzling Designs and HOUSES 101 very soon.  It's just to keep my blog interesting.  I just wanted to say that I will be starting these fun topics again.  Both of these have always been one of my favorites to post about.  Until next time, enjoy the ARCHITECTURE!

Today's ArchiPic #52


Today's ArchiPic is a picture of a flying house in Switzerland.  It's pretty cool! (considering it's flying) *sticks tongue out*

Why Did My RCT3 Posts End?

The reason why I am bringing RCT3 back up is because for some of you that were interested in why I suddenly stopped posting about RCT3.   It was mostly because I got a totally new game you all probably have heard of called Minecraft.  And to me, it was a ton more fun then RCT3.  So being that as it may, I will be posting Minecraft architecture from our server in the near future!

Today's ArchiPic #51

Today's ArchiPic is another special one because 51 is my favorite number.  This installment is a picture of an amazing structure from Pensacola Beach, Florida.  By the way, this is one of my favorite houses. 

Hurricane Proof House by cybersharp.blogspot.com

This is an amazing home that I have seen across the internet.  It uses a special shape and material to be able to withstand the force of hurricane winds and debri. 

The Bad News and Good News about Minecraft

The bad news: I noticed a couple days ago that when Minecraft Beta 1.8 comes out, (the last update before the full release) we are going to have to generate a whole new world to get all the new features.  So because of this, I won't be posting Minecraft architecture for awhile.  The good news: I will be able to post more awesome and real architecture from around the world!  *Holds up a sword and shouts MORE architecture!!!*

Quoted | Enriched Heart

These are some of my favorite quotes that I have seen across the internet and some from books that I've read.  This is a series about architecture quotes.  Welcome to QUOTED.

Here are some more quotes from my favorite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

"A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart."

"Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived."

Today's ArchiPic #50

What do you know?  I am back doing Today's ArchiPic, and today is number fifty!  Today's ArchiPic is from Spain. 


Casa Mila in Barcelona, Spain from igougo.com

This one of the most interesting buildings I have seen.  They said the most unique part of it is the roof.  It allows you to get panoramic views of the city.

More Architecture! Including Minecraft!

More architecture is coming to my blog!  Also, if you liked my posts about Minecraft, that is also coming soon!   I will probably start posting again this week.  (maybe even today)  The reason why I didn't post the rest of my vacation is because I didn't feel motivated to do so.  But then again, it is that time of year.  (back in school)  I might also do a review on Minecraft for people that are not so sure if they want to buy it yet.  Also, keep in mind that this is still architecture, and I mostly play Minecraft because I can design and build anything.  I will also stick to more of my series posts.  (today's archipic, dazzling designs, houses 101, quoted, and weekend night lights)  I hope you all had a great summer and look forward to a bunch more architecture then I have been posting recently.
