The Twist Museum BIG 

Traversing the winding Randselva river, BIG’s first project in Norway, The Twist, opens as an inhabitable bridge torqued at its center, forming a new journey and art piece within the Kistefos Sculpture Park in Jevnaker, Norway. Kistefos’ new 1,000m2 contemporary art institution doubles as infrastructure to connect two forested riverbanks, completing the cultural route through northern Europe’s largest sculpture park.

Crystal Peak Lookout in Fernwood, Idaho

Read more about this lookout, including hundreds of cabin photos, featured in our new book. Pre-order available now: cabinporn.com/inside

The tower’s owner, Kristie Mae Wolfe / @kristiemaewolfe, tells us about the history: 

This fire lookout originally built atop a 40-ft wood frame tower by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources in 1959. It was sold for $1 in 1983 on the condition it be removed in 30 days because it was blocking the view from the new, identical, tower. It was then transported to a 7-acre parcel on Crystal Ridge, Idaho (that the owner purchased in trade for a load of logs). The metal tower it sits, was bought at a Government auction.

It exchanged hands a couple more times and had been forgotten about for quite some time. I recently bought the now 13-acres with the lookout and rehabbed it. There was an old leaning wood shed that I turned into a wood burning sauna.
