Miller House and Garden www.imamuseum.org A "classic of modern horticulture, unsurpassed in the United States..." -- The Magazine Antiques The IMA has acquired the landmark Miller House and Garden in Columbus, Indiana. One of the countrys most highly regarded examples of mid-century Modernist residences, the Miller House was designed by Eero Saarinen, with interiors by Alexander Girard, and landscape design by Daniel Urban Kiley. Members of the Miller family have donated the house and gardens with many of its original furnishings to the Museum. The Miller family and the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Foundation have also made a million lead gift toward an million operating endowment for the house and surrounding grounds. The IMA is raising million for the remainder of the endowment and million for the 18-month renovation of the house, which will entail a careful restoration of many of the original period details. Once the renovation is completed, the IMA will work with the Columbus Area Visitors Center to offer public access to the house and gardens. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2000, the house expands upon an architectural tradition developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—epitomizing the international Modernist aesthetic—with an open and flowing layout, flat roof and vast stone and glass walls. The IMA plans to open Miller House and Garden in 2012.

Building Music is an interactive installation that explores the musicality of different architectural features. By moving the light of a flashlight along the facade of the building the viewers create musical compositions while lighting the windows. Every window hides a sound and a color that are activated by the viewers from the distance. The project enables the augmentation of public facades to transform them into interactive spaces creating a dialog between the audience and the architecture around them. All the audio in this video was created by the viewers. Spark Festival of Electronic Music and Arts, Minneapolis, 2009 A Project by Alberto García, Julio Obelleiro, Jorge Cano and Pedro Enriquez.

Soundforms, pictured, is actually a shell intended to host open-air performances - it's meant to enhance the sound of classical and orchestral music in its London Docklands setting. Among our favourites are an Iranian ski resort that resembles a pure white honeycomb, a round green dome that looks as if it is about to fly back to the mother ship at any moment and a house shaped like a cloud. We'd love to know your personal winner! Cloud House, Australia McBride Charles Ryan is a company known for unusual structures. This cool, sky-inspired creation is actually part of an existing house - the little red cube inside is a kitchen! iGuzzini Illuminazione Ibérica Headquarters, Spain You'd expect the research centre for the development of lighting systems to get the illumination aspect right, and so it does.
