Cement Factory turned Live/Work Space

Showing that this industrial/traditional blend is not new, Yatzer blog features an old cement factory turned architect Ricardo Bofill's office and residence in Madrid that dates to 1975.

There are many more pictures at the original post.

Thanks, Elisabeth, for pointing this out.

Maker on Wheels

You know Roger Woods and Klockwerks, right? He was steampunk before steampunk even was... Here's a great video his assistant Bryan Belanger made of Roger making one of his klocks on wheels. (I *love* the soundtrack.)
