Liya Mairson, a graduate of the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, has created a children’s play house that takes cues from pop up books, except this on is life size. Called “My Space“, this playhouse was designed for small apartments which lack the space for a dedicated playroom. When opened, it encourages children to experiment with different layouts and lets them bring to life their dreams and imaginary worlds. When closed, it can be easily stored behind a door or under a bed. Pretty neat idea, just hope the cardboard can last long. [source]

Shadow art is a unique form of sculptural art where the 2D shadows cast by a 3D sculpture are essential for the artistic effect. We have featured several posts about some amazing shadow art. And today, we will introduce you another brilliant artist, Rashad Alakbarov who is known as “master of shadows”. Alakbarov organizes found objects into formations that cast light and shadows onto walls in the most spectacular creations. Upon initial view, his pieces are seemingly in disarray. After further investigation, the viewer discovers a painting of shadows and light cast on the wall and is able to look at the piece in a different way, with a fresh, new set of eyes. Really love the installation in first photo, the color, the light, it is incredibly mesmerizing. [source]

Cyclist Steve Wheen, of Shoreditch, East London, began his campaign out of frustration at the lack of repairs to roads damaged by the harsh winter. As a guerrilla gardener, he decided to do something and make a point. Steve uses plants and miniatures to create sanctuaries of tranquility in broken urban places. Part art project, part labour of love, part experiment, part mission to highlight how shit [east London] roads are – the pictures and gardens are supposed to put smiles on peoples faces and alert them to potholes!
