Light House Cinema Designer: DTA Architects
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Light House cinema has been a bit of an institution in Dublin. It started showing Irish, independent, foreign-language, art house and classic cinema 20 years ago, closed in 1966, and re-opened this summer in its new, customized space. The four-screen, intimate art-house cinema includes a wonderful, inviting and open cafe that looks like something you’d see at an art museum, not a movie theatre. → www.thecoolhunter.net Posted: 01/24/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this

Landed Designer: Eric Degenhardt & Richard Lampert
Location: n/a
This is a mobile free-standing architectural unit, a micro architecture between house and object, "between living and moving, between water and land, sky and mountains," explains Eric Degenhardt. The project might help make allotments socially acceptable again and simultaneously remove its middle-class aura. → www.stylepark.com Posted: 01/24/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
