Due to the big interest that our waterfall project arose, we decided to make a movie to quench the architectural thirst of its many admirers.
So without any further ado; here is the movie of Eden Falls.

Los perros de Buenos Aires
2008-04-15
Suddenly there are thirty dogs in shiny red capes walking around in one of the districts of Buenos Aires.
The architects behind this visual improvement are visiondivision, but they haven’t done this merely for their own sake, the project is about improvement of these animals.
With a classy scarf with a name printed on them, we baptized the dogs we came across, gave them food and a personal red plate.
Hopefully the people around them will be more aware of these dogs and be more kind and generous towards them, and the Barrio will have the most prominent stray dogs of South America.
The project started out in Once in Buenos Aires, which is the garment district of the city.We chose a proper shiny fabric and had it cut up in 75x75 cm squares, 40 pieces.
Then we made up a bunch of classy Argentinean dog names and had those printed on the fabric with a rubber technique in a printing shop nearby.
After that we went to a shop where they attached buttons on the scarves.
We signed them and had them on a display in a local mall, and then we practised to speed-button the scarves on Argentina’s national monument, The Obelisk in the smack centre of Buenos Aires on the widest avenue in the world.
We also bought plates in matching colours.
Only the best ham was selected and also some high quality dog food.
So this is how it works: We went to the outskirts of Buenos Aires and selected a stray dog, gave him food on a red plate and then we put on a scarf with a suitable name on the dog. 
Our trustful assistant Pablo shows the proper way of attaching the scarf. The very first dog of becoming baptized was Mercedes, a dog full of energy and charm.
Evita, a curious dog with a limp.
Bronco & Nestor, hard to get friends with at first.
Palermo & Ricky.
Bartolomé.
Juan Esteban.
Piti.
Dr. Faustino, seemed nice at first.
Don, a nearly blind dog.
Bruno, fast as the lightning.Some locals helped us baptize this one.
Carlos.

By giving a nameless dog a name and some fancy threads, the chances is that the public will be more aware of just that dog and continue to feed him and treat him better.

Weiss, kind and calm.

Lola, likes to chase cars.
Pancho.

New office in Buenos Aires
2008-02-11
Visiondivision decided to go to Buenos Aires to live a better life and to see if this could affect their architectural performance.
Instead of enduring the harsh winter in Sweden, they are now appreciating the summer of a city which many people consider to be the Paris of South America.
The office is situated in the very central parts of the city, with a pool, a gym and a roof terrace, 20 meters from the Swedish Embassy and 50 meters from a Carnival Club with fabulous shows and outgoing people.
So if you’re nearby, feel free to drop by our office at Tacuari 173 in Buenos Aires and ask for visiondivision in the reception.

Agua Libre
This is an early competition that we are very fond of; instead of treating and changing the interior of the building too much to express a change in content, we made a surrealistic and undulating landscape and kept the rustic palace as it was. The outcome is a magic and fun place for everyone.
Palacio Correos - A magnificent old building in central Buenos Aires is going to change its content. From being headquarter of the postal service to become a house for the people - an institute of culture. We wanted the building to be seen as if you had a generous rich uncle that let you roam free around his mansion. Buenos Aires is a nice city but lacks a very fundamental thing for being a city near a river - water. Rio de la Plata is a quite dirty waterway and large stretches of the shores has been occupied with big luxury houses. That is why we decided to make a water park around (and inside of) the palace.
The water level changes through the year. In the basement where it used to be a parking garage is now a gigantic ballroom where you can do whatever you want between the water filled floor and the roof that is lit up by hundreds of chandeliers.
