two particular good posts on the blog include links to an extensive photo-documentation of a recent Peter Zumthor exhibition in Lisbon, Portugal located on sushilover*'s flickr page. see also the blog {moshimoshiii}
absolutely astounding images! if you are in lisbon, this appears to be a highly recommended activity.
also featured on belly is a post titled: Plano B: House in Arruda dos Vinhos
a house built literally inside ancient ruins, and constructed in methods inherent to the existing site.
By assuming the use of industrial materials - asphalt, concrete, polycarbonate - in combination with natural materials - wood, earth and stone – this house is an interesting example of sustainable practice, maintaining a critical approach towards the project as an area for reflection on the expressive qualities of architecture.
