Japan is the only country that can produce such a video

Only the Japanese can produce such a commercial .... It provides their culture throw their whole history, this type also known as onr performance art. This video is really amazing and incredible.

Japanese popular culture not only reflects the attitudes and concerns of the present day, but also provides a link to the past. Popular films,television programs, manga, music, and video games all developed from older artistic and literary traditions, and many of their themes and styles of presentation can be traced to traditional art forms.

In the long feudal period governed by the samurai class, some methods that were used to train warriors were developed into well-orderedmartial arts, in modern times referred to collectively as koryū.

Casa Mila in Barcelona, Spain

Casa Milà, popularly known as ‘La Pedrera’, looks like an artistic piece of modern architecture, but it’s not. This unusual building of undulating stone facade and wrought iron balconies and windows was built more than a century ago between 1906 and 1912 by the architect Antoni Gaudi (1852–1926). Ahead of his time, Gaudi designed the Casa Mila without weight bearing walls and instead used steel, arches and pillars in irregular shapes to form the circular design. Architecturally it is considered an innovative work but at that time it was subjected to ridicule and disgust. Even the local government objected to some aspects of the project, and fined the owners for many infractions of building codes. Today it is the headquarters of Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera and houses a cultural centre that is a reference point in Barcelona for the range of activities it organises and the different spaces for exhibitions and other public uses it contains. In 1984, it was declared World Heritage by UNESCO.

La Pedrera is one of the best-known works of Antoni Gaudí, and is one of the symbols of Barcelona. Its limestone facade with the cave-like balconies appears to be cut off one single white rock. This is why it was given the name La Pedrera (the quarry) during construction and even today is more widely known by this nickname.

The building consists of a succession of stone walls on the outside, while the interior has two painted courtyards, columns and a range of rooms. There are large windows and iron balconies set into the undulating facade. On the roof, there are marvellous chimneys that resemble surrealistic creatures – these sculptures are works of art in themselves. Being one of the tallest buildings on Paseo de Gràcia , the rooftops provide a splendid view of the district and Barcelona’s city center.

A top floor apartment decorated with early 20th century furnishings is also available for viewing giving visitors a real sense of the circular shapes of the rooms. All of the apartments overlook two courtyards designed by Gaudi to allow sunlight into the living spaces. The attic features an exhibit of Gaudi’s many creations complete with scale models.

Dubai Aimed To Build a Luxury Underwater Hotel

Dubai-based construction company Drydocks World and Swiss consulting, engineering, and brokerage firm BIG InvestConsult will build the Water Discus Hotel, a luxury underwater hotel in Dubai.

Poland’s Deep Ocean Technology designed the hotel, surrounded by a coral reef, to have 21 two-person rooms with huge windows and an underwater diving center. Rooms will be as deep as 10 meters below the surface, and diving training will be offered. The hotel can also rotate. A large disc-shaped structure above the water will have a spa, garden, and upper-terrace swimming pool—presumably for guests at an underwater hotel who don’t actually want to be in the ocean.

Architect Paweł Podwojewski says he started designing the hotel two years ago. He approached it more as if it were a ship than a building, and kept construction costs low by making the structure simple and not fixing it to the ocean floor. The hotel can surface for repairs or evacuation in anywhere from 15 minutes to 12 hours—the speed is adjustable—and be tugged to new locations. The acrylic windows are the most expensive part, he says, and can be added or removed based on the budget.
