Antti Lovag re-evaluated his viewpoint on architecture after his health began to suffer and he experienced a heart attack.
Lovag’s mortality instilled a feeling of (and desire for) complete freedom. Rebelling against the structures of traditional architecture, he “began experimenting with frameworks that could be bent and changed and with techniques of concrete surfacing. That way, forms could move again.”
This is not simply a “bubble house,” but an incorporation of form, function and nature. He utilizes mineral, vegetable, water, image, sound, light and view (which he describes) for a habitat that feels truly organic.
Yes, this is architecture with a complex and detailed philosophy.
And I love how, from certain angles, it looks like the hillside is afflicted with blistering pox (or perhaps some sort of giant alien tentacle).

The windows look like bubble wrap, and I desperatly feel the need to pop one.
Other than that, this is amazing!
That’s fantastic. Somebody should write a movie about this guy’s story. Who would play him? They’d probably want to cast Robin Williams in the role, but I say it should be Matthew Broderick. Maybe Billy Zane. Remember Billy Zane?
