Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich created this installation, simply called The Swimming Pool, for The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. A 10cm layer of water over a piece of glass separates above from below. It must be a pretty serious piece of glass; some back-of-the-envelope math based on the published dimensions gives 1,100 kg (2400 lbs) of water that it has to support. Plus its own weight.
the greatest swimming pool in the world
It’s a hot day in Ottawa. Tell me you wouldn’t want this in your back yard. Ensamble Studio & Antón García-Abril designed this gravity-defying cantilevered swimming pool at Hemeroscopium House in Greece out of a single concrete slab lowered into place, producing this amazing result. Stunning design. Spectacular architecture.
An interesting video of the construction process. This is great stuff.
