euo:
Portuguese artist Tiago Barros‘ highly conceptual environmentally friendly method of transportation allows passengers to travel in a way one could only dream of, with the clouds. His project entitled ‘Passing Cloud’ is powered by the natural winds, held together by the clouds, while the body is formed by inner stainless steel structures that’s covered by heavy weight tensile nylon fabric. This idea was submitted to Life at the Speed of Rail Competition, which may not win but certainly doesn’t stop us from dreaming ambitious.

The Oceanographic Museum - Monte Carlo, Monaco
This monumental architectural work of art has an impressive façade above the sea, towering over the sheer cliff face to a height of 279 feet (85.04 m). It took 11 years to build, using 100,000 tons of stone from La Turbie.
The museum is home to exhibitions and collections of various species of sea fauna (starfish, seahorses, turtles, jellyfish, crabs, lobsters, rays, sharks, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, eels, cuttlefish etc.) both stuffed and in skeletal form. The museum’s holdings also include a great variety of sea related objects, including model ships, sea animal skeletons, tools, weapons, etc.
