Inhabitat Weekly April 1st

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Dear Inhabitants, Welcome to April! You may have seen some disconcerting developments and tomfoolery in today's news, but we assure you, it's all in good fun! This week we also explored the future of our built environment from the unveiling of this year's Pritzker Prize winnner to topping off of Shigeru Ban's new Pompidou-Metz art museum. We also looked at several gorgeous houses wrapped in greenery and a colorful table composed entirely of LEGO bricks. Finally, we're thrilled to announce that Inhabitat Team Milan is back, better than ever, and ready to hit the Salone Milan Furniture Fair on April 14th!
