Gives new meaning to starchitect
No new movie, book, or George Lucas rumor to peg it to, but Britain’s Architects Journal decided this week to list itsTop 10 favorite buildings from Star Wars. Sure, it’s blogger catnip: Top 10 List + Star Wars + architecture = hits from every sci-fi geek and design snob this side of Tatooine. But it’s a clever round up, including photos of some real-world buildings, in places like Abu Dhabi and Porto, that appear to have quite a bit of Star Wars DNA in them. As for me, I’m over Brooklyn and desperately trolling craigslist for anEwok treehouse in Endor.
