Atelier Zündel Cristea Architects- Saut de Seine




People in Paris have it all. There's very few "bridges" that make me jealous but this would definitely have to be one of them. It's described as "an inflatable bridge equipped with giant trampolines, dedicated to the joyful release from gravity as one 
bounces above the river."

Industrial Art Furniture- Bob Campbell

Bob Campbell is a self-taught English Sculptor. His furniture designs include many redundant mechanical and Industrial parts.


"I make sophisticated sculptures that go far beyond their functional use. Every piece of work I produce takes its own form, each piece of material I use is re-claimed and re-used from industrial machinery that has now been discarded, by doing this I create a sculpture that has a use as well as an aesthetic beauty. My work is not only a sculpture it is a piece of history that addresses the global need to re-use existing materials."

The Scream- Edvard Munich





"One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjord—the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream"(1)
