Daft Punk recently released this slick and stylish photo shoot set in a famous LA modernist house, though we here at Architizer think there’s more here than meets the eye. What other “Daft Punkitecture” is out there in the world waiting to be found?

I love the photographic work of CoolbieRe, especially his interpretation of Hong Kong. He makes it look like Tron's world—perhaps because Hong Kong, with all its mighty electronic manufacturing power, is as close to Tron's world as you can get on Earth.
I saw Tron in the movie theater when it came out, 30 years ago today—July 9, 1982. I was almost ten years old and it blew me away. Like with many kids of my age, this movie—along with War Games—changed the course of my life. I'm not exaggerating.
You can argue that using a Daft Punk soundtrack would make any timelapse of any city to look like Tron's world. But no, Tron's world clearly has to be Los Angeles, with its never ending traffic flow zooming through its infinite grid of light. Watch till the end and you will see what I mean. [Thanks Jordan!]
How do you make an incredibly cool piece of music even cooler? Play it back on ol' fashioned tech, that's how. It certainly works for this version of Derezzed.
