Sculpture from stacked chairs

For the 2012 Abu Dhabi Art Fair Japanese artist, Tadashi Kawamata, created a huge structure out of chairs.

"Chairs for Abu Dhabi" took five days to create and reached the 20 foot high ceiling of the gallery it was housed in.

It created a focal point for the event and a pavilion for people to try to escape the hustle and bustle of the fair and proved to be a popular meeting point.

Tadashi is renowned for using recycled materials or scrap, using metal, wood, plastic and, in this case, used chairs, ranging from sofas and benches to stools and arm chairs.

A stunning structure that 'pays homage to humanity’s diversity, unity and interconnectedness', according to the artist.

Amazing ice photos from inside a building

Photographer Gary Jensenwas asked to snap some incredible photos prior to the thawing of a former cold storage building that was about to be renovated in Chicago. The thawing itself was also caught on video.

The building was the former home of Fulton Market Cold Storage company, and was recently sold to Sterling Bay, who are renovating the building with help from architects Perkins & Will. Before they could start, they had to defrost the enormous storage area that had turned into an icy cavern. Luckily Gary was able to take these incredible photos first.
