These time lapses document the change in the world over the past 30 years. Islands have popped up; forests have declined; ice has melted.
Such a terrifying, beautiful thing.

Syros House by Myrto Miliou
“The geometry of the building follows that of the landscape, mimicking the stone retaining walls typical of the Greek island. The architects designed the house to relate to the landscape and make the most of the sculptural qualities of light. The house also minimizes energy use with planted roofs and thick stone walls that keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.”

Stargazing At The Elqui Domos Hotel In Chile | Designed by RDM Arquitectura | Photos by James Florio
In the heart of the mythical Elqui Valley in Pisco, surrounded by the Andes Mountains, 500km north of Santiago in central Chile, lies a magical place that allows for star-spangled dreams beneath the clear pure sky. Combining stargazing and specialized astronomic tours with night-time horseback riding, meditation and even tarot readings, Elqui Domos is a hotel quite like no other.
It was completed in 2005 to fulfil its owners’ desire to observe and enjoy the grandeur of the one of the world’s most star-filled skies. It is one of only seven astronomic hotels around the world and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere, offering breathtaking views of the magic skies draped over the Elqui Valley (the valley is renowned for its sharp, clear skies, as it happens to sit under one of the clearest atmospheres in the world). The lack of rain and pleasant weather all year round set the perfect conditions for astronomic tourism, where guests can gather to enjoy a unique chance to liaise with the stars.
