NEWS: NunavutFebruary 13, 2014 - 1:19 pm DAVID MURPHY

It turns out that carving and architecture go hand in hand.

Architects sculpt models before their buildings are constructed. And sculptors sometimes make art afterwards, inspired by those very structures.

Which is exactly what a group of Pangnirtung artists did in January, carving famous buildings in Nunavut, to scale, as part of Canadas entry in an upcoming international architecture exhibit in Venice, Italy.

Architects and sculptors share a lot in fact.

Generally speaking the idea is that architects and carving artists are often working in the same medium. They both make models, said Mason White of Lateral Office, the company curating the Arctic Adaptations project for Venice.

Architects make models. Carving artists make models. They make scaled figures of things and architects make scaled figures of buildings, White said.

Arctic Adaptations was developed as a celebration of Nunavuts 15th anniversary as a territory. Lateral Office is organizing the Arctic Adaptations project for the Venice Architectural Biennale, which takes place in June 2014.

The architectural carvings masterful models of schools, recreation centres, churches, hotels and family homes rendered in varying shades of mottled green soapstone will be individually displayed on a shelf inside a wall.

To make their sculptures, artists were given blueprints of famous buildings in Nunavut.

Ever wish you could live in one of those drool-worthy homes designed by a top architect?

Or maybe just get a glimpse to see what that lifestyle would look like: soaring ceilings, glass walls, lots of light, and spaces built for entertaining.

Another line item to include in the fantasy is the cost of keeping those beauties looking good.

A prospective owner has to plan for upkeep, says George Smart, chairman of the North Carolina Modernist Houses, a nonprofit that promotes residential modernist architecture.

And, when you work on the house, you have to choose a builder or contractor who stays faithful to the original concept, he says: "It takes a completely different skill set."

From a house on the National Register of Historic Places to a golf getaway in classic '60s style, here are six homes for sale that were designed by noted architects.
