Sea Organ - musical instrument played by the sea
Thanks to the Sea Organ music project, the inhabitants of Zadar have been restored once more to their relation with the sea. Chaotic reconstruction work undertaken in an attempt to repair the devastation Zadar suffered in the World War II turned much of the sea front into an unbroken, monotonous concrete wall. Now, the inviting white marble steps lead down to the water. Concealed under these steps, which both protect and invite, is a system of polyethylene tubes and a resonating cavity that turns the site into a huge musical instrument, played by the wind and the sea.

Container Atlas - A Practical Guide to Container Architecture
This book presents a wide range of projects in container architecture – a contemporary architectural phenomenon. It features container structures used as pop-up stores and temporary exhibits as well as sophisticated housing and office spaces that provoke and inspire while setting new standards in functionality and aesthetics. But the book is not only visually inspiring. Because it documents plans, describes associated costs, and suggests concrete solutions for common problems, it is a practical reference for architects, planners, and cultural activists as well as event and marketing managers, to guide them in deciding what types of containers are best suited to their upcoming projects.

A Bas Jan Ader experience?

Ahmet Öğüt: '‘Guppy 13 vs Ocean Wave, a Bas Jan Ader experience’ is a comment on the legendary and fatal project of the artist and adventurer Bas Jan Ader. In 1975 Ader, aged 33, attempted to cross the ocean as an art project, to never return again. Ahmet Öğüt has found a replica in Illinois, USA and shipped it to Amsterdam-Noord. He invites and challenges you to take a solo sail across the IJ from de Tolhuistuin to Central Station on the 28th, 29th and 30th of May.
