Posted by watertree under Art

Berlin City who tired of reinforced concrete, so architects can find the outskirts of Tempelhof International Airport, to create an isolated resort: Super rockery. There will be a mountain 1000 meters high, and from the annual September to March next year can be skiing.

It is said that such a large rockery may be brought back a lot of people during World War II fortress of non-fond memories, but more people in Berlin or the right of this huge man-made rockery full of expectations. In addition, with other cities that the purpose of “the world’s tallest building” title and the race to the competitive behavior, the German vision of man-made mountain Is not more creative?

Artificial Mountain Go Who needs skyscrapers? Berg

Berliners may soon get more to see on the horizon than just construction cranes, if a German architect realizes his massive vision. The world’s largest artificial mountain could sit on the spot currently occupied by Tempelhof airport, and provide a natural getaway for Berliners and tourists alike. Did we also mention the fine skiing opportunities from September through March?

Architect Jakob Tigges has named his 1,000-meter-tall mountain “The Berg,” which may conjure up images of some bygone World War II-era redoubt. But the idea supposedly has many supporters among Berlin residents, and we have to admit that it’s a novel way of one-upping all those other cities focused on having the tallest buildings.

Berg Plans: The layout for the would-be world’s largest artificial mountain Berg

If you’re not sold on the awe-inspiring grandeur of this mountain, we’ll let the “Berg manifesto” speak for itself — and throw in some smack talk about other German cities in the bargain.

Hamburg, as stiff as fat, turns green with envy, rich and once proud Munich starts to feel ashamed of its distant Alp-panorama and planners of the Middle-East, experienced in taking the spell off any kind of architectural utopia immediately design authentic copies of the iconic Berlin-Mountain.

Perhaps something was lost in the translation there. Either way, we’re looking forward to the next Bond movie where 007 rallies the neighborhood associations and fights a morass of city zoning laws to stop … “The Berg.”

By Bryan Berg introduced the hotel ready to open for business 21. They used a total of about 200,000 cards, including the front desk, sofa, beds, and even the toilet is made of with the Key Card.

Bryan Berg is a crazy ‘Key Card Fans‘, when he was 17 years of age have used something like that to build a small house 4.4 meters high, which set a world record, but now, but constantly surpass itself Bale. In addition to the house in New York, he has also to be a Dallas, a similar project. Source digg large photos, the following is a set of images:

If you’ve ever wondered what to do with unwanted hotel key cards, then think no more.

Because, providing you’ve somehow amassed 200,000 plastic slips, the solution is simple – use them to build your own guest house.

That, at least, is what one hotel chain decided to do.

It marks the relaunch of the chains 1,200 hotels around the world.

Kevin Kowalski, senior vice president of global brand management at Holiday Inn, said:

‘The Key Card Hotel is a fun and interactive way to showcase the changes happening at our hotels and is the only structure of its kind to ever be created by a hotel brand.’

Mr Berg first broke the world record for World’s Tallest House of Freestanding Playing Cards in 1992 at the age of 17, with a tower 14ft 6in.

Since then, he has been commissioned to break his own record ten times.

His most recent tallest record was a 25ft 9in inch tall tower built at the African-American Museum at Dallas, Texas.

For this record, he tried a new technique involving stacking cards vertically instead of horizontally, which reduced the number of cards needed by nearly half.

In 2004, Guinness created a new record category for World’s Largest House of Freestanding Playing Cards to recognize a project Mr Berg built for a replica or Cinderella’s Castle for Walt Disney World in Florida.
