Exbury Egg, Stephen Turner, Artist
"Exbury Egg is a floating off-grid workspace and home, installed on the shore of the Beaulieu River, UK. It was conceived by artist Stephen Turner, and created with the help of both Perring Architecture and Design, and SPUD design studio. The egg-shaped structure will support Turner for a year as he carries out observations on the local environment and produces his works of art."

‘I have seen a public space at peace in krumbach. urban exteriors seem
to be the natural extension of small, protected interior spaces. zwing
BUS:STOP seeks to express this domesticity. we have taken the ‘mould’
of a piece of a ‘stube’ and reproduced its beautiful height, its ceiling
figures, and transformed its materiality to create a feeling of familiar
estrangement.’ – smiljan radic

‘this is a bus shelter, but not merely a bus shelter. it is like a 120 slr
folding camera that people can sit in. it is not only an abstract lens,
because the camera is built by local wood and craft. the lens focuses
on the scenery, the symmetrical, the static; sunlight illuminates
the interior as gentle breezes filter through it; our gaze is guided to
the mountains far away. the symmetry of the camera will undoubtedly
trigger symbolic implications, but this symmetry is broken by the
sloped eaves at the side.’ — wang shu

‘ensamble studio’s BUS:STOP for krumbach explores the appropriation
of a local technique –used to stack wood planks in the drying barns in
the region – and translates it into an architectural space. a single
assembly detail resolves both the mechanics and the rough
aesthetics, resulting in a low-res construction process that can
crystallize in many forms, ambiguous between the sculptural
and the inhabitable. our bus:stop is just one of many
possible improvisations.’ – ensemble studio

Water Cube Pavillon, MVRDV, Architects
Architects from MVRDV are building a Water Cube Pavillon for the 2012 World Expo in Yeosu, Korea.
The structure filled with sea water acts as a temperature buffer, symbolizing the crucial role of the ocean as temperature modulator for the planet. I found it here.
