During the construction of a new store in Dublin in 2013, the crew discovered the ruins of a historic Viking well dating back to the 11th century. This discovery sparked excitement in the archaeological community. The well is a significant find as it provides a glimpse into the Viking era and the history of Dublin. It's a testament to the city's rich past and the Viking influence on its development. The well is now preserved and can be viewed through a glass section of the floor in the store, offering shoppers a unique glimpse into the city's Viking history.

A common misconception: Brutalist architecture was actually named after the distinctive stylistic choice of leaving the raw construction material visible on the building - the name derives from french brut, meaning "raw", or "unprocessed" - and actually has no connection with the idea of making buildings that look brutal on purpose.

You're getting it mixed up with turbobrutalism, which is an architectural style invented by me, 35 minutes ago, which focuses entirely on constructing concrete skyscrapers, wizard towers and other evil buildings, that are specifically intended to look raw and savage as hell.

The finished result! I’m so ridiculously proud and pleased with how it turned out!

This was an ordinary door + 3 pieces of mdf board. I carved and sculpted them with my dremel multitool, inspired by the carvings I saw in Bali, mounted them and then painted and sanded the whole thing in several layers before adding a final tint of gold. 💙

The door and side panel I sculpted myself. The top carving is from Bali.

Ashgabat: one of the most beautiful - and fake - cities in the world.
