The Narrowest House

Posted by Adrienne Crezo in Architecture, Design, Home & Garden, World Records on July 8, 2011 at 11:24 am

How do you turn a small space into a huge cash cow? Fill it with the most claustrophobic living quarters imaginable, call its lack of width a feature, then rent it out to artists as a living/workspace. That’s just what architect Jakub Szczesny and team are doing with the skinny space between an old tenement block and a tower block in Warsaw, Poland. The design allows for a bedroom, lounge, bathroom and kitchen within the tiny space, all accessible by ladder. Read more about to Warsaw design and other skinny houses on Daily Mail. Link

Humans on Display at the Zoo

Posted by John Farrier in Everything Else on November 29, 2009 at 10:47 am

The zoo of Warsaw, Poland, has a pair of prehistoric humans (or actors depicting them) on display over the weekend:

Organiser Maria Mastalerz says the weeklong “performance” aims to attract interest in a play, “Caveman,” showing in the Polish capital. But she says it also carries a message that humans today are not all that different from their prehistoric ancestors.

Dressed in furs and animal skins, the young woman and man smoked a fish over a fire Friday, poking it with a stick, or stared from behind bars at startled zoo visitors.
