Being a student of Architecture I'm constantly surrounded by sources of spacial inspiration. Maybe everybody is, but not everyone is trained to recognize architectural design in detail, because buildings around us are taken for granted.
From now on I'll try to bring you some of the most inspiring and amazing architectures to a point here every week... to share with you the fascination I feel for the art of building(s). ;)
As a starter here's a video about the "Accordion House" or "Dragspelhuset" by Dutch bureau 24h architects

(I'm sorry for non German speakers, but it's definitely worth watching even if you don't understand a word!=)
This house first caught my attention a few years ago, when I saw photos of the interior, which showed the complex shape and cavern-like curves and irregularities. The walls give the impression of a wood-shingle covered bear cave. Especially because a layer of animal pelts is attached for maximum coziness. ^-^
The house is actually an extention to an existing cabin. It was supposed to fit in it's environment without the attitude of presenting itself as of great importance. The beautiful cedar shingles were mounted by hand. Time, sun and weather give them a patina which fits in perfectly to the surrounding forest landscape.
The most innovative part though, is that this house is extendable, like an accordion. It has a built in mechanism, that allows to draw one part of the building further out, so the interior space increases!

Rotterdam based 24h architects do a lot of fascinating work with organic shapes and complex structures that instantly speak to our archaic feelings of a natural shelter. They use natural materials and parametric design methods to create a stunning yet pure impression.
It's poetry!
