gjmueller: Fairy Tales Seen Through the Lens of Architecture How would an architect design houses from fairy tales? Let’s find out: Fairy tale author and editor Kate Bernheimer and architect Andrew Bernheimer collaborated to take a look at houses and structures from fairy tales, as seen through the lens of architecture. Take Rapunzel’s tower, for instance, as it’s designed by Guy Norden and Associates: What are the key elements of your architectural design and how is it sited? As structural engineers we were instantly drawn to the “tower that stood in a forest and had neither a door nor a stairway, but only a tiny little window at the very top” featured in the Brothers Grimm version of “Rapunzel,” and we looked to our previous design for the Seven Stems Broadcast Tower for inspiration. We were able to meet the Grimms’ strict design requirements by employing a slender tower design of vertical cylindrical stems that are joined by intermittent outrigger beams with a reinforced space at the very top for Rapunzel’s long captivity. More: Baba Yaga’s and Jack and the Beanstalk
