Strange Buildings - Part VII: Habitat 67 - Montreal, Canada

Habitat 67 is a housing complex and landmark located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Its design was created by architect Moshe Safdie based on his master's thesis at McGill University and built as part of Expo 67.

Housing was one of the main themes of Expo 67.
Habitat 67 then became a thematic pavilion visited by thousands of visitors who came from around the world.
During Expo 67 it was also the temporary residence of the many dignitaries coming to Montreal.

It was designed to integrate the variety and diversity of scattered private homes with the economics and density of a modern apartment building.
Modular, interlocking concrete forms define the space.
The project was designed to create affordable housing with close but private quarters, each equipped with a garden.
The building was believed to illustrate the new lifestyle people would live in increasingly crowded cities around the world.

The complex was originally meant to be vastly larger.
Ironically, due to its architectural cachet, demand for the building's units have made them expensive rather than "affordable" as originally envisioned.

The building is owned by its tenants, who formed a limited partnership that purchased the building from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation in 1985.

Darwin Awards - On the Piste

Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

Here's one of the most recent stories:


On the Piste
2008 Darwin Award Nominee - Confirmed True by Darwin
(2 February 2008, Italy)

David, 46, was sliding down an Italian ski slope one night, riding on padding that he had removed from the safety barriers at the bottom of the run.
It did not occur to him that it might be dangerous to sled down the same slope from which he had stolen protective padding.

Sauze d'Oulx is one of five villages that make up the "Milky Way" ski area in northern Italy.
Popular with British skiers, the resort is known for its party atmosphere.
A ski resort spokesperson said, "The men had all been drinking when they tore off the padding, and ironically..."

...they careened straight into the bare barriers at the bottom of the piste (groomed slope).
David died from head and chest injuries inflicted by the unpadded metal.
Two of his friends survived with medical attention.
Another Darwin Award candidate is still missing after he wandered away "bloodied and distressed."

He wondered, "What it would feel like to connect the electronic control tester to my chest piercings?"
Several coworkers tried to convince him that it was a bad idea to wire himself up to the electronic device, but he ignored their pleas.
He proceeded to connect two alligator clips to his metal nipple piercings, one on each side, and hit the test button...
His coworkers were still trying to revive him with CPR and rescue breathing when police and rescue personnel arrived.
They were not successful.

Strange Buildings - Part V: Basket Building - Ohio, USA

What started out as a dream by Dave Longaberger, Founder of The Longaberger Company, has been built into a giant basket to house the entire corporate offices of the company.
Dave believed the idea was one of his best and would draw attention to the company, while simultaneously helping to build the brand.
However, when he started spreading the idea of building a Home Office that was really a basket, he found that most people just thought that Dave was making a joke as Dave was a notorious practical joker.
Not only did the bankers, architects and construction companies not take Dave seriously, neither did many of the employees who worked for The Longaberger Company, but Dave persevered.
One of Dave's most admirable attributes was that when he had a dream and believed in it, he always found a way to accomplish it, and he did. Dave's dream was achieved on December 17, 1997 when the Home Office that is designed to resemble a basket finally opened for business.

In 1998, The Longaberger Home Office also received a Build Ohio Award for its synthetic plaster system.
The building is made of stucco over a steel structure, which helps create the look of an actual Longaberger Basket.
The Home Office continues to attract the attention of media from around the world, even as far away as Tokyo.
While the exterior of the Home Office is a marvel in itself, the building's interior is truly breathtaking.
A grand staircase, player piano and marble floors are just part of the beautiful décor of the building's seven story atrium. The majority of the cherry woodwork used in the Home Office was harvested from the Longaberger Golf Club in Hanover; dried in theirs facility; sawed and shaped at theirs Construction Woodshop; finished in theirs Construction Paint Booth and installed by theirs Construction Division.

The Home Office is a site worth touring whether you are on your way to Longaberger Homestead or any other Longaberger destination.

2008 Darwin Award Nominee - Confirmed True by Darwin
(13 January 2008, Florida)

Wearing only swim trunks and sneakers, a 37-year-old man raced his motorcycle toward the Manasota Key drawbridge.
As the bridge began to open, it was clear that he intended to "shoot the gap."
Bridge designers had anticipated such lunacy and invented the crossing guard.
The closing gates swept him off his Suzuki, over the side of the bridge, into the water, and out of the gene pool.
By a twist of fate the motorcycle continued up the ramp and made it across to the other side.

Strange Buildings - Part IV: Le Palais Idéal - Hauterives, France

Ferdinand Cheval (1836 – 19 August, 1924), was a French postman who spent 33 years of his life building Le Palais Idéal (the "Ideal Palace") in Hauterives which is regarded as an extraordinary example of naïve art architecture.

Cheval began the building in April 1879. He claimed that he had tripped on a stone and was inspired by its shape. He returned to the same spot the next day and started collecting stones.

For the next 33 years, during his daily mail route, Cheval carried stones from his delivery rounds and at home used them to build his Palais idéal, the Ideal Palace. First he carried the stones in his pockets, then a basket and eventually a wheelbarrow. He often worked at night, by the light of an oil lamp.

Cheval spent the first two decades building the outer walls. The Palace is a mix of different styles with inspirations from the Bible to Hindu mythology. Cheval bound the stones together with lime, mortar and cement.

Cheval also wanted to be buried in his palace. However, since that is illegal in France, he proceeded to spend eight more years building a mausoleum for himself in the cemetery of Hauterives. Cheval died on August 19, 1924, around a year after he had finished building it, and is buried there.

In 1969 André Malraux, the Minister of Culture, declared the Palace as a cultural landmark and had it officially protected. Cheval's palace is open every day except Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Darwin Awards - Thou Shalt Not Steel

Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

Here's one of the most recent stories:


Thou Shalt Not Steel
2008 Darwin Award Nominee - Confirmed True by Darwin
(8 March 2008, Czech Republic)

Steel is valuable, especially the high-grade alloy used in steel cable.
Scrap metal dealers do not ask questions. They pay in cash.

And a good supply of steel cable can be found in elevator shafts.

This particular gold mine was a towering shaft inside an empty granary near Zatec, forty miles northwest of Prague.
The cable was tightly fastened, and the far end of it disappeared into the shadowy distance above.
After substantial wear and tear on a hacksaw, our man finally cut through the strong steel cable.
At that instant the counterbalance, no longer held in check, started to move silently downward, accelerating until it reached the bottom of the shaft.

Result: one proud winner of a "terminal velocity" Darwin Award.

The museum’s tower, Torre Galatea, was named for the surrealist artist’s deceased wife, and Dali himself lived there until his death in 1989.

Interestingly, the museum sits next to the parish church where Dali was baptized in 1904; he is buried in an unmarked crypt in the museum’s main exhibition hall.

Darwin Awards - Chemistry Went To Her Head

Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

Here's one of the most recent stories:


Chemistry Went To Her Head
2008 Darwin Award Nominee - Confirmed True by Darwin
(2 February 2008, Bulgaria)

It was a cold but sunny February afternoon.
Lidia, a biology teacher from Sofia, was driving two friends home from a memorial service.
Suddenly the vehicle stopped.
Bystanders saw all three occupants dash from the car to a nearby manhole and start pouring down liquids and powders from various bottles and jars.
Apparently the biology teacher had been performing chemistry experiments in her free time, and had some leftover noxious chemicals.
It is still not entirely clear what the chemicals were, but two of the bottles were labeled diethyl ether and methanol, both highly flammable liquids.
The former is also used as a sedative, so one explanation for their actions is that they felt dizzy from the ether vapors and thought it was a good idea to pour them in the sewer.
As it turns out, a good idea it definitely was not.
The cocktail of flammable substances in the enclosed space of the sewer caused an explosion so powerful that it launched the manhole cover into the air, decapitating the (briefly) surprised Lidia.
Left without a head on her shoulders, she decided it was time to kick the bucket.
The other two people were not unharmed, but were alive.
They were taken to the hospital with burns on their faces.
They may not regain their eyesight, but hopefully will be able to speak clearly enough to tell their children that tossing random chemicals down the drain is not as wise as it might at first appear.

Strange Buildings - Part II: Hundertwasser Building "Waldspirale" - Darmstadt, Germany

The Hundertwasser house "Waldspirale" ("Forest Spiral") was built in Darmstadt between 1998 and 2000.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the famous Austrian architect and painter, is widely renowned for his revolutionary, colourful architectural designs which incorporate irregular, organic forms, e.g. onion-shaped domes.

Natural features of the landscape are expressed in this building: the layers of sedimental rock found underneath the site are reflected on the facade in bands of ceramic tiles and coloured stucco.

The roof of the altogether 12 floors is formed by a garden of beech, maple, and lime trees.

The structure with 105 apartments wraps around a landscaped courtyard with a running stream.

Up in the turret at the southeast corner, there is a restaurant, including a cocktail bar.

Hundertwasser died in February 2000, a few months before the building was completed.

Boner!

2008 Darwin Award Nominee - Confirmed True by Darwin
2 February 2008, New York

A 50-year-old man was bird hunting in Upstate New York with his buddies and his faithful canine companion.
They stopped for a smoke, and his dog found a deer leg bone! The man tried to take the bone away, but like any right thinking dog, the animal would not relinquish its treasure. He stayed just out of reach.
Frustrated with this blatant show of disobedience, the man grabbed his loaded shotgun by the muzzle and began wielding it like a club. Each time he swung it, the dog dodged.

Suddenly the "club" struck the ground and fired, shooting the man in the abdomen.
He was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries.
He did remain conscious long enough to confirm this account to police; otherwise, his poor friends might now be under suspicion!

At least he didn't hit the dog.
