Giant Horses attend YMCA

I won't say much because this is pretty obvious. I know that the Trojan horse appear mighty and masculine... These stallions are def not from Troy, but they totally turned into horsie fairies.

Presenting Polish Design Season: Beata Konarska and Pawel Konarski of Warsaw design studio Konarska-Konarski have created a group of winged horses with screens in their flanks. (excerpts from Dezeen)
They were used as medium for video installation in the Polish National Library. After which, they were modified to be installable anywhere. Right now they are an installation in a park at Warsaw.
It's like... The Horsie fairies inside the YMCA

That is totally anti-concentration to my reading moments which can raise the level of my stress hormones. uuggh..I need a massage.

Trahan Architects recently launched a conceptual design for the renovation and expansion of the River Center Branch Library. The project stands at the intersection between civic buildings and the city’s arts and entertainment district, overlooking a new town square.... (excerpts from Fopple)
