TEL AVIV BUILDING TURNED TO FRENCH FRIES! … OR 3D BUILDINGS… Photographer Victor Enrich creates dazzlingly playful images of the Tel Aviv and other urban landscapes by manipulating images of real buildings.  Check out this french fries building, and move on to see the Opera House, one of the enduring Bauhaus designs, and other buildings in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and elsewhere. Amazing!  From ArchDaily: “Víctor Enrich recently shared with us his architecture 3D illustrations and visualizations.  Over the years he has experimented with a variety of mediums resulting in these 3D creations.”

OOH LA-LA! LUXURY MIKVAH!   Check out this interior of a Mikvah in Mexico.   A Mikveh is a ritual bath that Jews use to obtain ritual purity.  It is used primarily by orthodox Jews, though Jews of all stripes will use a Mikveh to varying degrees.  Most commonly, they are used by women following menstruation, and by men in anticipation of certain holidays or rituals—like marriage!   Mikveh are very simple affairs: relatively deep pools of water connected to a naturally occurring, and constantly flowing water source such as a spring, a late, a river, or even a glacier.  They need to be deep enough for a person to become totally submerged.  Visiting a Mikveh is a personal experience and should not be misconstrued as a regular bathing experience.  Thanks architizer!
