Kingdom Tower
Designed by AS+GG, the $1.2 billion, 3,280 feet + skyscraper will be the tallest in the world once complete. I’d be more impressed if they built 1000 meters down where all the riches are. It would be called an “Earthscraper” and would hold the title of ‘World’s Deepest Building.” Core’s The Limit!

Morning Dose of Sasha Grey
Richard Phillips builds upon his previous Lindsay Lohan film portrait with one of Sasha Grey. The building where it takes place is the Chemosphere off Mulholland Drive designed by John Lautner. Benedikt Taschen now owns the residence.

Redesigning the Outdoor Music Festival Experience

“‘Why Don’t We Do It On The Stairs’ is an open and flexible concept providing a variety of spaces to accommodate all sorts of activities throughout every hour of every day of the festival. By creating two large stairs offering seating with views of the festival grounds and filling them with activity boxes where anything can happen, people can always find spaces that suit their mood…”

Creeping From Above
A look from the satellites at houses of people with more money probably than you and I combined. That’s Tony Hawk’s skateable Carlsbad manse above, and Will Smith’s Scientology palace below. You can see a lot more at Virtual Globetrotting.
