The post Take a Tour of St. Peter’s Basilica from the Comfort of Your Home appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>It is safe to say that St. Peter’s Basilica is one of the landmarks that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. However, not a lot of people have this opportunity. This is why Vatican teamed up with Microsoft and cultural heritage preservation startup Iconem to create a stunning virtual 3D tour you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.
The team behind the project spent several weeks taking photographs and scanning St. Peter’s Basilica and its surroundings. They ended up with 400,000 high-resolution images that were patched together and turned into a virtual tour with the help of artificial intelligence.
Thanks to this, the tour allows viewers to see all of the big and small details and experience the iconic landmark in all of its beauty, perhaps even more than they would if they visited in person.
You can tour St. Peter’s Basilica by following this link and learn more about the project in the videos below.

]]>In this series, titled “Genetically Modified Reality”, Cesnakevicius fits doors, windows, and other exterior elements usually found on houses onto tomatoes, bell peppers, oranges, apples, and more.
For example, his apple house has two sets of windows, a door, and a small staircase on the front. On the top of the apple house, there is a mailbox that can be accessed by a ladder that is fitted on the side.
According to the artist, he was inspired by this unusual series by the events that are happening in the world in recent years and the impact that social media has had on shaping people’s opinions about them.
“Are we at the stage when the reality for the general public can be modified? Is social media platforms the ultimate achievement of humanity as we know it, and will it eventually lead to some new artificial, scripted existence for an individual? These questions made the foundation for the ‘Genetically modified reality’ series, “Cesnakevicius shares.

]]>Understandably, much of Positano’s works show famous buildings and landmarks from Italy. This includes the Leaning Tower of Pizza, the Colosseum, and Piazza San Marco.
However, this talented artist also enjoys drawing inspiration from other architectural wonders from around the world, encompassing different eras and styles. Among her sketches are Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, San Diego’s Geisel Library, Panama City’s F&F Tower, and many others.
Positano describes her works as “freehand architectural illustrations.” She aims to capture the “essence” of a particular building in her drawings and highlight the details that usually go unnoticed. But while working with photos as a reference, Positano doesn’t want to create authentic copies. Instead, she wants to put her own vision of the subject on paper and present the buildings in the way she sees them.
Positano’s architectural drawings have drawn widespread praise on Instagram, where she regularly showcases new works and talks about her creative process. Continue scrolling to check out more of them below.

]]>Miller has always been an artistic child with a vivid imagination, and his parents fully encouraged him to pursue his artistic passions. He found his true calling during his time at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, where he now works as a part-time lecturer, running architecture and landscape design studios.
According to his Directory of Illustration portfolio, Miller enjoys “working on the details within larger pieces, drawing tiny details and stories to capture the imagination of the viewer and draw them into the artwork.”
He finds inspiration in many different places, but the comic books of Franco-Belgian sci-fi and the grit and atmosphere of vintage science fiction concept art had the biggest impact on his personal style.
In addition to attracting an impressive following to his Instagram page, Miller worked with a long list of high-profile publications, such as The Atlantic, Empire, and The New York Times. He also joined forces with Netflix and worked directly with filmmakers to help them bring their architectural visions to life.

]]>The post Artist Creates Miniatures Inspired by Dystopian Future appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>One such artist is Simon Laveuve, who creates miniatures that represent housing objects as he sees them in the distant future. His creations are full of intricate details and curious structural solutions, ranging from a house that is floating on the sea thanks to barrels to an elaborate Asian architecture-influenced home built on a single pole.
According to the artist, habitat and survival are central elements of his approach.
“My pieces, for the most part, have this common point of depicting a shelter,” Laveuve explains on his website. “A shelter for man, made by man, whose figure is not necessarily present. I like working on height and the inaccessible. Protection and abandonment. Fallen icons and their symbolisms. Resistance and insubordination.”
Self-taught, Laveuve started creating his miniatures in 2016. He prefers to use recycled material whenever he can, believing in “the principle of second life and recycling through art for creation.”

]]>The fossil mansion was designed in the early 1980s by American architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, known for his innovation and “an architecture so full of life that it seems to breathe.” He was commissioned by Beverly and Jay Doolittle, who gave the architect as much time and freedom as he needed to get the work done.
After being in construction for more than 25 years, the Kellogg Doolittle mansion was finally finished in 2014. It consists of two buildings and has an interior structure formed by 26 piers that serve as walls. There is no lumber or drywall used for the interior.
Kellogg brought in his protégé John Vugrin to handle the interior design of the mansion. Vugrin followed Kellogg’s idea, opting for natural material and twisted curvilinear shapes.
“From its hand-laid stone path to the marble, copper, and glass work inside, there is no detail about Kellogg Doolittle that is underwhelming,” it says on the official website of Kellogg Doolittle mansion. “It takes days to take it all in. Never has the relationship between every item inside a home been so strong, but since everything, down to the BBQ and Table Lamps were made custom, and specifically for the home, that relationship is highly poetic.”
Kellogg Doolittle mansion welcomes visitors who want to marvel at its beauty and is also available for short-term rent as accommodation, filming location, and event center. You can learn more about it in this tour from the Architectural Digest.

]]>Now, some of Wright’s most famous creations will take a new life as travel posters as part of a new project by the New York art gallery Spoke Art and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
The project, titled Frank Lloyd Wright: Timeless, saw dozens of international artists creating pieces inspired by Wright’s work and in the style of 1930s-era Works Progress Administration (WPA) travel posters. Prints of these pieces are now available for purchase while also being part of a traveling exhibition.
“Appreciating the beauty of the natural world around us, and how we connect with and live within that world, is a gift Wright left us, and we always look forward to celebrating and exploring these ideas,” Ken Harman Hashimoto, Spoke Art owner and curator of the exhibition, said in a statement.

]]>Salah primarily creates her art on cardboard. This allows her to add some 3D elements to her works, making them even more eye-catching. This includes cutting out the pieces of cardboard to change the texture of the background, allowing her designs to stand out.
Salah’s works showcase all sorts of different buildings and architectural styles. You’ll see mansions, apartment buildings, and cozy shops created in a range of styles from contemporary architecture to Brick Gothic. In order to get the best results, this talented artist also combines various techniques, including watercolors, markers, and pencils.
Social media users and architecture enthusiasts have been quite impressed with Salah’s drawings and sketches. Her Instagram page has surpassed 100K followers, while each of her posts gets welcomed with praise and recognition. On top of already finished designs, Salah will often share videos that show her making them from scratch, giving a unique insight into her creative process.

]]>The post Architect Uses AI to Create Building Designs Inspired By Birds appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>The series “Buildings Inspired by Birds” features buildings based on a pelican, blue jay, parrot, pigeon, and several other birds. Jacobus used Midjourney to create several variations of each design but kept them linked closely with the nature of the bird they were inspired by.
For example, blue jay-inspired buildings are predominantly blue and have towers resembling the bird’s signature crest. Parrot-inspired buildings, on the other hand, follow the colorfulness theme of these fascinating birds.
Midjourney creates images based on the textual descriptions that users provide. The tool debuted in the summer of 2022 and is currently in open beta.
“Using Midjourney, I explore how emerging artificial intelligence can envision new forms of hybridity and cross-pollination to fuse multiple objects with diverse identities into a new singular whole,” the artist shared in a recent interview.
While some of these designs might not be entirely useful if you are looking to build a house, they are quite impressive to look at. Check more of them below.

]]>According to Ulises, the project is aimed at “exploring the possibilities of portable collective solutions for contemporary nomadic communities.” Their designs see a vehicle fitted with multiple levels, with each one serving a different purpose.
For example, one of the designs is fitted with multiple living rooms, an office, a bedroom, and a terrace. Others have more compact levels, with each being suitable for a single occupant, essentially turning them into an apartment building.
These mobile homes range from retro to futuristic designs and feature between two and seven stories.
“By embracing a more nomadic lifestyle, we can explore new ways of living that are both exciting and sustainable, all while fostering a sense of community and connection with the world around us,” Ulises founder Ricardo Orts said about the project when reached out to by Cover Media.
While the structural integrity of these multi-decker mobile homes might be questionable, the idea itself seems quite interesting. Who knows, maybe this ends up being the future after all.
