Gaudi used broken bottles in his work (mosaics in the roof) at Park Guell in Barcelona, I’ll have some pics up on facebook soon!
this will me remember on a photo i shot in april in Berlin. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lampenlee/3450325508/
we used to do this when I was a kid – there was a sweetshop in town and the pavement outside would go soft in the summer, so we’d buy a small bottle of pop, open it, and stamp the bottletop into the tarmac. There must have been 1000’s of bottlecaps embedded in the pavement…
You do realise the ‘gum stuff’ on the pavements in designobserver.com is actually mold don’t you?
Not gum.
Don’t you?
pretty sure it’s gum but would love to hear your ‘mold’ theory…
Something interesting done with discarded chewing gum…
I’ve seen one in crouch end, north london.
