"below is the recently (2003) extended runway at funchal airport in madeira. the original 1400m runway was notoriously short and, as a result, sometimes dangerous for landing planes. the runway extension won the iabse’s ‘outstanding structures award’ and rightly so: due to an obvious lack of land, engineers have supported the extension on 180 pillars, each 70m high. on the last photo you can see what seems to be a car park that now lives under the end of the runway."

"I’ve heard of students roughing it, but sleeping in freight containers? That’s right. Only it’s not a case of desperate living or some torturous fraternity hazing — it’s a very cool, very useful idea developed by a Dutch company called TempoHousing."
