Years ago, we could only see tree houses in movies. Later, the children who managed to convince their parents to build them their 'little paradise' also got their own version of the refuge. Today, however, the house made of warm wood is only a memory of an innocent childhood - it has been replaced by cold glass, which reminds of a cruel, cold world, and also opens up a lot of social questions related to privacy in modern times. Where has innocence gone?

Surrealist architecture and nature don't seem made for each other at first glance, but Dionisio González had just such a vision. He embodied it in the Trans-actions series, which contains a collection of imaginary surrealist buildings - from an observatory, work spaces, hydraulic structures and a stationary zeppelin - placed in a natural environment, next to which the thought from the first sentence seems less logical. Opposites attract.

It is true that usually the construction of churches takes many years, but the charming "Tree Church" in New Zealand took four years to grow. And literally. It is made from trees that Brian Cox planted on his property. Long or not, the "construction" took as long as the trees took, and the result is absolutely wonderful. "Construction work" on the building included watering and pruning.

Cliff houses are nothing new. In the Middle Ages, countless castles grew on them, even today many people, admittedly not out of strategic aspirations, build a house on the edge of a precipice. But Casa Brutale on the coast of the Aegean Sea adds a new dimension to cliff houses. It does not lie on but in the cliff, and in addition, it acts as if it were rotated by 90 degrees. The concept is the work of OPA.

Fans of classical architecture today are often disappointed because most modern architectural solutions are modern and minimalistic, but the rich style still does not ring the bell. A good example is the Palace of Farmers building of the Ministry of Agriculture in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan (an autonomous republic of the Russian Federation). It is an exceptional work that leans on architecture from the past, and the silhouette of a wrought iron tree caught in a massive arch catches the eye.
