So why do we and I like looking at these so much? In my mind it's the colliding moment of any number of design disciplines, as much as I don't like this word. Interior design obviously. The scale is suggestive of architecture. Or at least it's very architectural due to it's structured linearity and temporal ordering. Sound, lighting. It's theater, a performance, a succession of stills, a stage set, and visual merchandising all in one shot. Then of course there is the art itself, which is walking.

Amazing Interiors From Fashion Runway Shows, Prada By OMA, Beijing. The theme of light remains here, but it's an otherwise altogether different world. At first I thought it was too architectural, but then it grew on me. It's proportioned beautifully. It seems to heighten the perspective experience in a mysteriously perfect way. The columns play with this. From the front the columns align to appear as a solid wall. From the side they create a rhythm with openings. Really elegant, refined, subtle, and beautiful design.
