Sea Forts
I thought the romance of long lost battle sites and wartime infrastructure was lost on me, but alas--
these have me hooked:
The long abandoned British marine defense cubicles known as the Redsand Towers. The immobile and steadfast nature of these boxes, weathering under the relentless ocean-- it all screams the setting of some incredible psychological thriller, or maybe the base of some love-lost soldier.
More gorgeous, forlorn photographs from Max Nathan, the author of this blog and a research fellow at the LSE Cities Programme.

Tea House
I want to climb up into a special room with a beautiful view, away from all my clutter.

Not to be forgotten
The Pulse Room by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is one of my favorite installations captured on camera. Each light bulb is synced to the pulse of an individual who comes through the room, with the last 100 heart beats still pulsating through little energy-filled balls of light.
The idea of our individual rhythms having an impact on the space we occupy has stuck with me. I sometimes imagine that the blinking lights of radio towers are powered by our own heart beats-- together theirs rhythms are oddly synchronous, yet ever off-kilter.
