3-D Ceilings

From Flood Prevention to Futuristic Design

Different cultures celebrate different things, but the Russians are paying homage to large breasts by using suspended ceiling structures. The 3D--as in three-dimensional--ceilings are very hot in Russia now.

OK, they're not. This is actually the result of an upstairs neighbor springing a massive leak and the membrane ceiling below holding the water. It's still pretty cool though, right?

Implications - Happy mistakes are when you come across something that is truly amazing simply by accident. Like these warped ceilings, new design features can be stumbled upon by looking at the destruction around us. You never know what warped structure can spark an idea for the next award-winning structural design.
