Massive Street Art By Sam3

We can imagine few things better than a world full of street art.

With murals flowing around every street corner and massive designs inhabiting the facade of every building, who needs a museum?

But alas, we can only dream for now. However, this hefty sample of work from Sam3 will keep us in a utopian mood for a little while. Taken at face value, Sam3's work simply makes the day a little bit better for those of us who take the chance to look up and look around while we're walking through the city.

The Prayer, Atlanta, USA 2011

Born in Elche, Spain, but now based in Madrid, Sam3 has been experimenting with materials and forms for a while now. The enormous scale of his pieces only adds to the mystery surrounding this street artist. His forms cover nooks and crannies all over the world, but his real intentions remain unknown.

We could go on talking about Sam3's work for days, but we would rather just stop and let the work speak for itself.

View a slideshow of his incredible work below and be sure to check his blog for a glimpse into what he's working on.

How about a world with no streets?

And existent asphalt converted to green spaces and community gardens. There was an attempt to create such a city from scratch; Chandigahr, India. But the original organic planning by Mayer was handed over to LeCorbusier; who dumped the organic design and replaced it with a grid. If you can find an image of the original Mayer design its awe-inspiring. Its actually possible to use "ring streets" and radically reduce the number of subsidiary roads in many cities.

Ring streets with short streets gping off them also mean that mosrt people can live without traffic going by their houses.

I once heard an interview with an Indian agronomist who said the entire civilized world should be turned into a garden growing food with meadows and woodland through all occupied areas. I am persuaded this man is right. Have you noticed how people love such projects? Eden., LowLine and so on. Greening the city intensively is a wonderful trend.

Now to Mayer. Thanks.
