Waterfall Swing - Architectural Art

Ever heard of the Waterfall Swing before?...

A Brooklyn design firm's masterpiece allows riders to swing through cascading water without getting soaked.

Combine the childhood memories of swing sets and the feel-good aspects of water. What you have is the masterpiece known as the Waterfall Swing.

The swing allows riders to glide back and forth, but with a cool twist. Water pours from overhead for the ride, however, amazingly the swingers do not get wet. Each time the rider passes under the top frame piece, the water halts briefly, leaving a gap for the person to swing through.

Extreme transformer home in Hong Kong: Gary Chang's 24 rooms in 1

And you thought your home was small. Try living in a 32 square meters (344 square feet) area like Gary Chang did nearly all his life - not only with his parents and 3 younger sisters, but with a tenant who rented a room! That was then...

During his childhood the space was divided into several small rooms- kitchen, bathrooms and 3 bedrooms (Chang slept on the couch). In 1988 when his family moved out (into something bigger), Chang bought the place from the landlord for $45,000 and began his experiments in small space design.
