Hasta La Ideas

Concluding our review of 2011, here are the five most popular stories from December. Up first are two skyscrapers by MVRDV for Seoul that will be joined at the hip by a pixelated cluster. These renders kicked up a lot of controversy, as reported on Dezeen Wire.

This refuge for climbers tube that cantilevers over the edge of a mountain is in second place, and was especially admired for its “Christmas-sweater paint job”.

Thomas Heatherwick’s redesign of the iconic routemaster bus for London comes in third. Some readers love the detailing while others think it’s a step backwards.

This spiralling car park by Zaha Hadid for Miami Beach was our fourth most-clicked story in December, despite readers’ scathing comments.

And finally, fifth place goes to the revamped Burger King restaurant in Singapore that’s designed to imitate a garden. You can see more stories about fast food restaurants here.
