WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
A desert landscape is undoubtedly one of nature’s most breathtaking visions; the challenge of introducing a manmade creation while not upsetting its raw natural beauty is not one to be taken lightly.
The Amangiri resort in Canyon Point, Utah, designed by Rick Joy, Wendell Burnette & Marwan Al-Sayed, is a showcase of considerate design that masterfully creates a coherent flow between modernist structures and textured surroundings.
The resort, which has 34 suites and an array of shared facilities including several swimming pools, a library and an art gallery, uses a palette of colours that blend perfectly into the sandy environment. The dialogue between the built and bare, the slick and rugged, and the luxurious and basic will guarantee an immersive experience with nature for lucky visitors – but on their own terms.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
