I just saw the Ricky Swallows exhibition at the National Gallery Of Victoria in Melbourne and was not at all prepared for the level of awesomeness... each sculpture had incredible life-like detail... truly unbelievable. His watercolors also blew me away... wood still life's + watercolors = my fave! definitely one of the most impressive, stunning art shows I've seen.

Marcus Beach house. Location: Queensland, Australia.
"The house is open and light and possesses simple sustainable design principles to passively defend the occupants from the elements. Windows and doors are strategically positioned to capture the prevailing breezes whilst roof overhangs are generous protecting the house from direct summer sunlight. Air conditioning has not been installed in the house nor is it desired. Artificial lighting is kept to a minimum due to the generous amount and position of glazing, particularly facing north. The roof over the Master Bedroom pavilion rises to the north providing a band of high level, operable, clerestory glazing capturing daylight and allowing any warm air to escape, setting up an effective ‘stack effect’ natural cooling process."
