Architecture

I’m really fond of the bamboo-and-steel canopy. If I had a bigger yard, I’d definitely choose this… it’s truly beautiful.

The word "triumphal" comes from the Latin triumphus — meaning a great victory. Rome built them for military wins. Paris built one for French soldiers — and it took 30 years. Trump wants his 250-foot arch done by July 4 for America's 250th. That's six weeks away and ground hasn't broken. If it misses the deadline, it has nothing to do with the anniversary.

When asked whom the arch would honor, Trump replied, “Me.”

That's the quiet part out loud. The Hill

Amazing.

This piece is a digital artwork by Yehan Wang titled “Wired Metropolis.” The image is created using an “endless line” technique, similar to scribble art, to form complex cityscapes.

I love watching home decor videos. Came across BrownstoneBoys’ YouTube video and watched it. I loved what they did to their home — especially the old house work. One day I’d love to own an old house and actually live in it.

So I've been reading about some random stuff lately, and these things have been sitting in my head for a while. You know how it is—you start with skyscrapers covered in forests, end up at the grocery store aisle, and somehow land on Bambi, of all things.

Anyway, figured I’d share. You might find them interesting too.

Buildings with actual forests on them

I love buildings covered in greenery. Walls, balconies, entire facades—just filled with plants. It’s brilliant. I’m a total black thumb—I can kill a cactus—but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating it. I grew up in an Appalachian town surrounded by trees. I’d sit for hours just looking at all that green. There’s something calming about it. Give me a good book and a spot under some trees, and I’m happy. So, when I discovered skyscrapers with literal forests growing on them? I was hooked.
