Wie das zombiehafte in der Architektur sich aufbäumt, kann ab heute (bei freiem Eintritt) im Architekturmuseum gesehen werden.

Wie eine Fata Morgana ragen die unvollendet gebliebenen Betonskelette von Luxushotelanlagen, die das Künstlerduo Haubitz+Zoche zwischen 2002 und 2005 in der Wüste auf der ägyptischen Halbinsel Sinai fotografierte, vor der Kulisse des blauen Himmels empor. Von ihrer beabsichtigten Pracht zeugen allein noch die verheißungsvollen Namen „Sultan’s Palace“, „Sindbad“, „Sunestra“ oder „Magic Life Imperial“ – Bezeichnungen, die Urlaubsglück mit orientalischem Flair suggerieren.

Eine kleine Vorschau gibt's hier und hier.

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that.... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E) temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed.... [However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving...shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.Link via
