Recycled Cars


Recycled Cars


New car sales may be down, but that doesn’t mean that people are getting rid of their old vehicles once they stop working, rust out or go out of style. Here are some creative modes of transportation…


One Piano You Cannot Move




Check out this amazing piano-shaped building in Huainan, Anhui providence, China.

The building will serve as the local Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, not, surprisingly, as the world’s largest replica of the foot piano from Big.

And, like me, if you were wondering how to get inside the piano building, just go through the giant glass-walled violin on the other side.




As Still As Furniture







David Blázquez adds a new twist to the art of interior design. His photography exhibit called “human furniture” is on display at El Fotomata in Sevilla, Spain. By using naked men as furniture, he questions whether or not humans could, in fact, be inanimate. This exhibit also poses the idea of what it’s like to feel like you’re being watched. Both question the purpose and portrayal of human interaction. How often do you feel like you’re being watched or molded into something that you don’t like?






The View from Above




Inspired by a documentary about the satellite photos on Google Earth, British teenager Rory McInnes decided to make his parents’ million-pound mansion stand out. And it sure did. He painted a 60-foot phallus on top of his parents’ newly finished flat roof. However, it was not discovered for a whole year until a helicopter pilot reported that he could see the image while flying by the house in Berkshire, England.
