Avant garde deck

Avant garde deck

The Japanese maple in Jeff Dauber’s San Francisco backyard is not at the center of a carbon-sucking vortex.” His deck, built by Berkeley-based architect Thom Faulders is actually flat. Metropolis calls it a sort of homage to Francesco Borromini’s Palazzo Spada in Rome, where the Renaissance architect employed a mathematician to make an eight-meter arcade look 37 meters long. Faulders used 3-D-modeling software to achieve the dipping effect. The deck looks like it’s sloping away from you, Apple’s Dauber says, adding, “I wanted someone to barf when they look at it.” (via Fast Company)
