What We’re Reading on the Web

As usual, we’ve read the Internet cover-to-cover* and rounded up some of the most interesting reads out there for your perusal. Enjoy!

This video of the simulated completion of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia is an incredible look at the signature endeavor of the Spanish architect’s career. The completed basilica is due to open in 2026, 100 years after Gaudi’s death. Since 1990 the project has been overseen by architect Jordi Fauli.

We love designing stadiums and we love structures that stand the test of time so we really love this Architizer article about cities coming up with creative ways to re-purpose their unused stadiums.

From CoExist: A major 2011 study indicated that on average Americans are thinking less creatively – can playing with Legos help solve the problem?

We conclude this week’s reads with two very cool pieces from Design Milk. First, another article on re-purposing – twelve homes made from shipping containers! Also featured this week, The Student Hotel in Amsterdam; a hotel created specifically for the penny-pinching and design-savvy young traveler.

Enjoy this week’s web wrap-up and have a great weekend!
