    Acting as a minimalist and silent tour guide, lengths of black yarn were carefully suspended to direct guests along a route through the broken walls of a deserted series of tightly-packed structures in Beijing.

    Crafted by reMIX Studio, the intervention was part of a pop-up restaurant experience in which the dinner space was placed at the end of a string of rooms in an abandoned building complex.

    Reprising the same visual theme, ceiling-suspended lights in this dark dining room were suspended from thin black cord as well.

    A modest wood-paneled path was constructed to thread the rubble and refuse of the structure, with parallel and intersecting spiderwebs of twine providing directional indications on the sides and above.

    The direct trajectory was designed to take people through both interior and exterior spaces, small homes and their private courtyards. Bursting through walls, the journey exposes both the dwellings themselves and the materials of which they were made, giving visitors a unique perspective on the traditional dense Hutong neighborhoods of the city.

    Of their work, the studio writes: “We propose a new connective path that reveals the existing building secrets and tunnelling throughout the architectural body it highlights in few observations points the quality and characteristics of the future intervention. The system of new portals is a succession of points of view that … forces the visitors into an unexpected journey; challenging [the] imagination.”

  • LEGO Abandonments: Home-Made Model Haunted Houses

    [ By WebUrbanist in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ]

    lego abandonments

    Hundreds of hours and in some cases over one hundred thousand pieces have gone into the creation of this series of seriously detailed LEGO models, each constructed to replicate the processes of decay in miniature.

    lego victorian decay series

    Michael Doyle makes these largely-Victorian marvels piece by piece, but of course creating something that looks intentionally chaotic is in many ways more challenging than making a conventional model home.

    From the artist: “To my eyes, patterns of decay find a more pleasing path than an untouched object. A roof collapsed by the weight of snow, side shingles ripped by the force of winds, substructures rotting, insects and weather gnawing the exposed surfaces.”

    lego deconstruction build process

    “I can picture those windy days where a shingle flies off. Or the sudden creaking, cracking and burst of tinder giving way under snow’s heavy hand“

    And for anyone interested in a strange slice of abandoned-faux-home ownership, he still has prints for sale of some of the works featured here as well as his other gravity-and-time-defying LEGO creations.
