Architecture: ...and look what they turned down!
This is actually what the same architect (as the one below) , Gert Wingårdh, first came up with! But the the politicians in Stockholm are just such a bunch of cowards! They thought it was just too spaced out and turned it down! So they chose to erect a building that is plain, blends in and will probably simply disappear... (sigh!)
Architecture: Progressive Stockholm
The new Landmark at Norra Bantorget.
Look! The front will be in glass. How progressive. Never, ever seen it before.

Architecture: Villa Spies
Simon Spies (1921-84) was a wealthy excentric Dane who had made his fortune in the travel business. Villa Spies, or Villa Fjolle as it's also called, was built on a small island in the Stockholm archipelago as a summerhouse. Swedish architect Staffan Berglund designed the UFO-like house in 1969. Here and here is where you go for more info and photos.
They say he had great sexual appetite.
Thanks to Mr J who ordered this post.

The Gobbler
What were they thinking?
Imagine the pitch to the investors:
'It's going to be a futuristic, state-of-the-art motel with every modern convenience from water beds to 8-tracks. The entire dining area will be covered in deep-pile pink and purple carpet. But wait - here's the best part. It will look like an abstract sculpture of a giant turkey. We'll bill it as a romantic getaway - and call it The Gobbler!'"
