Lamppost Dreams
Driving home from one of my favorite photo places I saw how the light was playing of the Turning Torso, debating with myself since I had frozen my fingers so bad previously but in the end I couldnt resist stopping at the beach and when I saw this lamppost I thought to myself that it was like a little brother wanting to grow up to be a big shiny turning torso.

Created from a privately invited competition building derives its shape, orientation and visual relationships of the peculiarities of the site and make this the basis of the concept.
Taking advantage of a natural terrain jump divided the object parallel to the contours in two full floors. The south-facing basement receives input, reception and ancillary function rooms. In the overlying and partially cantilevered floor houses all the main living areas.

Las Vegas Landscape
The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 4.2-mile (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada. Unknown to many travelers outside of Nevada, The Strip is not located within the City of Las Vegas but it passes through the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester, which are south of the Las Vegas city limits.
Most of the Strip has been designated an All-American Road, and has a unique distinction of being a scenic route during nighttime. Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip.
Fifteen of the world's 25 largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 62,000 rooms.
One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas' cityscape is its use of dramatic architecture. The modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, and residential high-rises on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists
