This Designer Built a Floating Studio Hidden Under a Bridge
"Refuge from the city within the city itself"
By Rain Noe - Aug 22, 2017
Yeah, so this is nuts: Valencia-based designer Fernando Abellanas wanted to "seek refuge from the city within the city itself," and picked the underside of a bridge—far above the ground—as a site for a studio.

Interesting but so many questions. The bridge is obviously government infrastructure, does he have permission to do this? Can you find solitude under a bridge?

These Ingenious 2,500-Year-Old Chinese Wood Joints Make Buildings Earthquake-Proof
They're called "dougong" and they connect with just friction and gravity
Over thousands of years, the building science of timber framing developed independently in both Northern Europe and China. But one big difference between the regions is that China, by virtue of its size and geological traits, is prone to devastating earthquakes. Ancient Chinese builders thus needed a way to create

Amazon Patents the High-Rise Urban Drone-Port
Unlike warehouses on the outskirts of town, these multi-story distribution centers will be located in cities and manned by robots and drones.
Amazon's vision for the future includes multi-story automated distribution centers sprinkled throughout urban areas.
