Beyond the Swing Set


A brief but interesting slide show at the New York Times entitled 'Beyond the Swing Set' features the 'fog forest' of Tokyo's Showa Kinen park "which combines truncated pyramids with a 32-foot steel tube that emits artificial fog every 15 minutes. Atsushi Kitagawara Architects collaborated with the artist Fujiko Nakaya to create this mist-shrouded world, where the fog shifts and clears just as it does in real life. "


Lovely...I always liked to go out in the fog as a child.

  1. Arcady, It has been like a treasure hunt to discover your fascinating and beautiful blogs.

    I arrived here by way of your garden history blog and have ventured into good church design and airy disc. Look forward to delving into to the previous posts.
