This Michael Jantzen’s M-vironment series of flexible hinged-panel houses which are not only conceptual but functional. Held together with a main frame, people can move the hinged panels to allow in as much light or as little light as they wish. Jantzen’s vision to “reinvent the built environment in order to extend the reach of consciousness” can be seen in all his work at http://www.michaeljantzen.com

Taken from the Huffington Post:
A British designer has unveiled his updated plans for a futuristic underwater city that almost certainly would not become the stage for a post-apocalyptic nightmare.
The Sub Biosphere 2 (SBS2) was first ‘created’ by Londoner Phil Pauley about three years ago, inspired by the original Biosphere 2 project and his own dreams of living underwater.
SBS2 is conceived as totally self-sustaining, allowing human occupants to live totally separate from the land. It includes eight ‘biomes’ arranged around a central 120m-tall support biosphere. The structure would be a total of 340 metres wide, and half of its living space would be below water even when the structure is above the surface.
Pauley’s designs allow for life-support systems including air, electricity, food and water generation, controlled by a clever use of atmospheric pressure. SBS2 would be able to move vertically above and below water, which would be handy during intense storms.
Zaha Hadid has collaborated with German shipbuilder Blohm + Voss to design 5 different yatchs and this one is one of them. This 90 meter JAZZ yatch is the first of the 5 to be ‘technically specified and detailed by the naval architects at Blohm + Voss. The overall design is inspired by “fluid dynamics and underwater ecosystems” and with a few more changes, the vessel will be ready for ocean crossings.
Simon Stalenhag is an illustrator that loves painting images of how our future integrates with science and technology. He’s always had a fascination for real life and how it would evolve as the world moves towards a more connected and technologically advanced direction. I especially love how his old abandoned science labs seem so ‘in-place’ in his scandinavian style paintings. The muted tones and pale light give his work that atmospheric surreal feel that seems like reality and dream all at once.
He uses a wacom and pen to create his work. Check it all out here: http://www.simonstalenhag.se
Dutch photographer Koen Hauser has created a series of anatomical photomontages, where human subjects stare into space while revealing exposed insides of what’s going on underneath their skin. Check out Koen’s work here: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Modische-Atlas-der-Anatomie/7971731
Colorodo-based photographer Skott Chandler’s latest series called Bedscapes gives an imaginative twist on the classic landscape photograph. Black and white images resemble mountains, valleys, oceans, and deserts. Chandler does a beautiful job of turning the ordinary into something out of this world.

This is the view from the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in the Gansu Province, China. The natural colourful rock formations have been 24 million years in the making and the colours are formed by the presence of red sandstone and mineral deposits. Due to tectonic plate movements, erosion and strong winds, the terrain looks unbelievably surreal.
Six of the landscapes have also been added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.

Freediver couple Eusebio & Christina Saeyns Santamaria (also known as One Ocean, One Breath) offer beautiful images taken underwater from around the world. Check out their work here: http://www.oneoceanonebreath.com/
“Sphere” is the name of a series of photographs made by the French photographer Alexandre Bordereaux. He provides us with images of various places of the capital and its suburbs with a sphere in the center reflecting that the viewer does not see the landscape so that we can discover more.
