“Buildings that Don’t Exist: Fake Facades Hide Infrastructure
By Steph.
From the sidewalk, this Paris building looks just like those around it, complete with doors, windows and balconies. but take a look at Google Maps, as Paul of the blog Paris by Cellphone did, and you’ll notice something strange: there’s nothing behind that facade. Like many others all over the world, this ordinary-looking building is just a shell to disguise unsightly infrastructure.
The building, at 154 Rue La Layette, is hiding a giant ventilation chimney for the metro. The chimney is about as large as one of the real buildings that surround it. In another location in Marais, artist Julien Berthier constructed a false door to go on the side of one of these buildings that wasn’t quite as well-disguised”

“HELLO, I’M A LOST SPACE”, ASH NEL
New Zealand designer Ash Nel explores the occupation of neglected areas with this piece of DIY furniture. As our urban population becomes denser in the Modern Age, space seems to be diminishing. Hence, Nel proposes a new way of occupying the vacant spaces in cities as well as in dwellings by using this device made of plywood.
