Creative industries have largely been transitioning from offline to online in the last couple of years. That's good in many respects. Fortunately the offline world doesn't entirely die off - there are still brilliant creative minds out there, offline. Blobitects for instance.

I would have called it contemporary or organic architecture but blobitecture is even better. Blobitecture is aiming for designing organically amoeba-shaped, bulge-formed architecture (says Wikipedia). In other words it's building really edgy, fancy buildings! The most famous European blobitecture are the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Selfridges in Birmingham, the Allianz Arena in Munich and the Kunsthaus in Graz. Critics might argue that this is bollocks (or even kafuffle). I like it. Especially the Kunsthaus in Graz which seems to be completely inappropriate in it's surroundings. On closer inspection I believe that it actually is harmonically integrated in it's urban environment.

I'm curious seeing more blobitecture in the near future. More like this:

Selfridges, Birmingham

Kunsthaus, Graz

Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow

Eden Project, St. Austell, Cornwall

Dancing House (Tančící dům), Prague, Czech Republic

Dancing House (Tančící dům), Prague, Czech Republic

Gare de Seine, Paris, France

Facade of a shop, Frankfurt, Germany

Sounds awesome, doesn't it? I'm just wondering where to study Blobitecture...

More existing Blobitecture?
