Parhelia: Asif Khan for Swarovski Crystal Palace Tube. Duration : 2.23 Mins.
Parhelia, a word derived from the Greek meaning "Beside the Sun", describing an optical phenomenon whereby light filters through airborne ice crystals to create halos of light. Asif Khan has created an architectural experience for Swarovski Crystal Palace at Design Miami/ 2012 which captures this phenomenon using more than 1million Swarovski crystals. "Bringing Swarovski, which you normally associate with jewelry and small objects, up to the scale of archictecture, which I think is where it belongs, has been a wonderful thing" says Asif Khan. www.swarovskicrystalpalace.tumblr.com

Mitchell Corn Palace Video Clips. Duration : 2.47 Mins.
2010RoadTripUSA. Part 55. Mitchell Corn palace. September 2010. Music by Tomorrow. The Corn Palace is a multi-purpose arena/facility located in Mitchell, South Dakota.

Moorish domes and minarets were added in 1937, giving the Palace the distinctive appearance that it has today. It costs 0000 annually to decorate the Palace. The exterior corn murals are replaced and redesigned each year with a new theme. The designs are created by local artists. From 1948 to 1971 the artist Oscar Howe designed the panels.
