The most unusual cinema

This unusual design created specifically for the film festivals Film on the Rocks Yao Noi Festival, held from 9 to 12 March this year on the Thai island of Yao Noi. However, it is not on the island - rather, beside him. At least, not watching movies on the land - and in the azure waters of the sea, washing the island.
Designed floating design architect Ole Scheeren. The audience was placed on a raft, platform, backlit, under-equipped auditorium. The screen is placed between the rocks, also in the sea. In general, the following picture emerged - Blue Lagoon, surrounded by high cliffs, in the midst of which the water seemed to hover the screen and the audience. Looking forward to the screen, the viewer sees a water surface - in this case lost all sense of time and space. It seems that nature itself is folded at the time of this puzzle from the cliffs and the sea to create an audience for the people, always looking for new experiences and adventures.
Platform built on the experience of local residents who foraged catching lobsters. After a series of "water" of cinema in other places a floating cinema planned to donate to local residents, some of which directly participated in its creation.
Project ArchipelagoCinemapoyavilsya a result of cooperation between the studio Studio Ole Scheeren and the Association of Film on the Rocks Yao Noi Foundation. Previously, Ole Scheeren has managed to surprise the unusual "architecture" creations - such as Marfa Drive-In (mobile cinema, which is "on tour" in the Texas desert) and the exhibition Cities on the Move.

The wall pipes in Dresden, Germany

Dresden is known as one of the most beautiful cities, museums in Europe. The Old Town, the famous Dresden Gallery, where visitors can admire the Sistine Madonna by Raphael, a collection of porcelain and arms - all this attracts travelers from many countries. No wonder that when viewing these sites, you can skip the unusual, but less well-known "species" in Dresden.

These include wall pipe Kunsthofpassage. The building is located in New Town, where tourists do not wander, preferring to look gloomy old palaces and churches. But to come here worthwhile.
The bright, but quite ordinary facade of the building (without statues and stucco) you will see a strange construction of pipes and gutters, the main purpose of which take water from the roof during the rain. However, all these pipes and gutters create a unique musical instrument, which "wakes up" when it rains.

Wall pipe was created by German artists Christoph Roßner, Annette Paul and André Tempel, who were inspired by the unusual architecture of drainpipes in St. Petersburg. Visit Kunsthofpassage in the new part of the city stands in any year, in a bright sunny day you can admire the unusual fountain where the water gradually descends from the roof of the building.
If you want to listen to music, published by the pipe wall, then you should wait until the "musician", that is, rain, and given that it is not uncommon to wait a long time you do not have.
