Trypophilia and Trypophobia: A Picture Thread? (Not exactly NSFW but some deeply disturbing images in here)

Buzza, I wish!

That kid's teeth are out of alignment, lousy shop job. Just sayin'.

gtforia - I think you may have to show that drawing to a shrink for an answer to your question.

nah, I think it's probably a real, undoctored photo. it looks like the piercing has forced the boy's mouth into a raised-up frown so that his bottom lip is level with his upper teeth. I can contort my mouth into the same position without difficulty.

many people on the snopes forum seem to think it's real, not that they're necessarily experts.

gtforia estfufan please be considerate - i can't take it

I'd do anything for you, Latham Green
I'll give trypophobia up
If that's what I should do
To make you happy

I'm just saying - I had to look away from the screen - I am very fragile

eh? all I posted was a link to a discussion about a photo that someone else had already posted here. I wasn't aware that I'd done anything offensive...

Stevie: infected hair follicles

Latham, you are a handsome guy

Everyone: How do you place a post between other posts instead of it putting it at the bottom?

You don't.

OK, thanks, WmC ... it looks like that was done.

if you want to make it clear that you're responding to something someone said previously (we say "upthread"), just copy that post into the "Add a Post" box and place your response after it.

Exactly. You can italicize it or block-quote it to indicate that it is a quote from upthread.

Ouch!

For Forrest Fulton Architecture‘s competition proposal, the Alabama-based firm designed a 900,000 sqf biomorphic spatial surface that connects the adjacent city and the landscape. The architecture focuses on creating an urbanistic landscape that morphs the common urban element of Yerevan, the superblock, to the site, a truncated hill along the natural amphitheater of the Yerevan. This new model of development supports a “holistic, ultra-green lifestyle” with overlapping natural and urban phenomenon.

The artificial “hill”, which is clothed in native plants irrigated with a recycled gray water system, creates viewing seats for the Yerevan and Mt. Ararat. The exterior perforations recall the intricate details of traditional Armenian lace needlework. These apertures are not mere surface treatments but rather terraced exterior space that provide amazing views.

The BORÅBorås Park Pavilions and Skating Rink is a place for summer play and winter games, designed by Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architect. A glazed winter garden and a bandstand are sited in the park as rounded forms, thin perforated shells clearly visible from the city centre. The shells form a meeting point where several paths intersect, thereby framing an open glade towards the south, towards a skating rink, a children’s playground in the sunshine. A third shell, the closed sphere of a machine shed reinforces this orientation of the park.

Nieto Sobejano’s San Telmo Museum extension, Peru. A living green-wall is planted behind the laser-cut facade, allowing plants to grow through the perforations, adding splashes of color to the metal panels.

The Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and a committee of Philosophy Professors collaborated in the selection of Steven Holl Architects to design the complete interior renovation of an 1890 corner building at 5 Washington Place for the consolidation of the New York University Department of Philosophy within a concept which organizes the new spaces around light and phenomenal properties of materials.

A new stair shaft below a new skylight joins the 6-level building vertically with a shifting porosity of light and shadow that change seasonally. Prismatic film was installed on the south-facing stairwell windows which occasionally break the sunlight into a prismatic rainbow. The

Concrete Shell Structure Eggshell - a concrete pod for all occasions, designed by Kazuya Morita

hey, i already posted the eggshell! but amazing stuff, UR, thx. especially love the insane yerevan proposal, for ridiculous points alone. museum in peru is genuinely beautiful though.

ooops, I didn't realize you'd beaten me to the egg pod playhouse thing.

I found another entry to the same Yerevan building contest, and of course it's just as wonderful and batshit as the first one:

Mercedes Benz Hotel Tower

The shape of the building symbolically represents the biblical Mt. Ararat. It takes the idea of two terraced cylindrical towers connected at the ground floor. The higher tower is a hotel and business centre and the lower is occupied with apartments. The two towers are connected by the public area which includes, shopping, exhibition and restaurants combined with the hotel lobby and business entrance. Parking is located mainly in the garage under the ground floor, with part of the fast parking and taxi/bus drop off outside at the Plato.

what's with these American architects trying to foist their trypophilic agenda on Armenia? I bet financing either project would require 1000 times Armenia's entire GDP, so I doubt either of these will come to anything.

That museum wall with plants growing out of the holes is the worst for me, although the close-up isn't too bad.

lol, knew it would be! that first pic skeeved me out a little, and i don't even have the phear.

Oh I hate every time I scroll by that in iTunes even tho I <3 the Dax so much.

i know! i have a vinyl copy (hueg) and have to lay it face down whenever i listen to it.

Typos and shitty grammar don't count, esp in a trypophobia room, or in any room for that matter, and this is coming from a retired legal secretary (1970-2009).
