Most Fascinating Tunnels


Underwater tunnel at the L'Oceanographic Center in Valencia, Spain(LINK)


Such an unusual tunnel one can see in California’s Sequoia National Park. The drive is cut through the tree trunk of Sequoia, fallen in 1937. Instead of taking it away from the road the park administration decided to cut the tunnel in it 5,18 m in width and 2,44 m in height(LINK)

Tunnel House

This building and an adjacent one had been used for exhibition space and art classes for over 30 years and they're both scheduled to be torn down to make way for a new larger structure. So, as a final farewell, local Houston artists, Dan Havel and Dean Ruck, turned them into an art installation known as "Inversion." Using boards from the outside of the houses they created a large funnel-like vortex running between the two that ends in a small hole in an adjacent courtyard. It's a cool effect particularly for those who always wanted to experience a black hole without the whole "being crushed to a quantum singularity" end result.(LINK)

Imagine having this cool public market pop up in your town? Well the lucky residents of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, are actually getting one! The mayor announced the commencement of construction on the huge tunnel-shaped market hall which will flash images of gigantic fresh fruits and vegetables via LCD screens on the inside and be lined with balconied apartments offering killer views on the outside. This true mixed-use development combining residences, shopping, restaurants and a public market will be a central hub of activity for citizens and tourists. The project is being developed by Provast and was designed by MVRDV.(LINK)
