Barchitecture into Architecture

No little plans.

Curbed's recent post about a computer-designed, robotically-constructed bar by design firm Somewhere Something got me thinking.

A bar by Somewhere Something.

Doesn't design this good deserve to be blown up? I don't mean explosively. I mean conceptually.

My first take on this inventive piece of structuralism was that it was the model for an apartment house. So why not?

Why not?

As Daniel Burham said, "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood . . . . "

  1. Great collage. I am actually in the process of "blowing this up" right now. Not quite to the scale of an apartment building, but as an installation/display in a retail space on La Brea. Thanks for this post, I really enjoyed it.
