german artist thomas grünfeld has created a wide variety of artworks in different medium over his
career. on of his stand out series is misfits a collection of hybrid taxidermy animals. you could
describe these pieces as animals collages as they meld two different animals together, one being
the body and one the head. the creations are real but they appear to be the sort of creatures
dreamed up by children.

the park houses by ushida-findlay architects located in preston, UK have been granted planning permission.
the unusual eco-homes feature a wave-like green roof which covers fives individual four-story homes.
the homes will all share a common leisure space that surrounds the complex. special planning had been
done to insure sustainable practices, bio-diversity and low carbon emission. the homes have large windows
to let in natural light and also take some power from solar panels. the construction will be done with locally
sourced materials and is set to begin soon.
