the parthenon, perhaps the most celebrated example of classical greek architecture, was only the first of a series of remarkable buildings to be constructed atop the athenian acropolis in the wake of the persian wars. led by the renowned statesman pericles, the city-state embarked on an ambitious rebuilding program which replaced all that had been razed by the persians. the new complex, while dedicated to the gods and the legends that surrounded the acropolis, were as much a declaration of athens’ glory as they were places of worship – monuments to a people who had risen from the ashes of a war to become the most powerful and prosperous state in the ancient world

docked atop of the doxcentre for contemporary art in prague is a 42 meter-long, giant airship shaped similar to the ones that cruised the skies in the early 20th century. this architectural intervention —eye catching against the existing white museum buildings— seemingly appears to have landed to serve as the museum’s new permanent space for literature and reading. named after the famous traveler, the idea of the ship was conceptualized by leoš válka, director of DOX and completed by hut architektury, led by architect martin rajniš. ph jan slavik

a cloud hanging over this shed-like pavilion in missouri rains onto the roof whenever someone sits inside. the aptly named cloud house was created by artist matthew mazzotta, and is installed at farmer's park in springfield. when a person sits on one of the two rocking chairs under the shelter, pressure sensors in the floor are activated. they trigger pumps to transport water from an underground storage tank up into the cloud, which releases the liquid through tiny holes to simulate rain
