ACE. New York kick-ass hotel for art lovers

 

Anyone going to New York? Just check this hotel out before making any decisions... I haven´t been but it looks great and it has all what it needs to be a great place, perfect for having a great experience. It´s something like the backpackers vibe taken to the next level with an extra hint of chic feeling. Just how I like it.

Antony Gormley. Firmament IV

 

Antony Gormley (UK) is just a machine of innovation, creativity and talent. In my opinion one of the best artists alive nowadays. His expression of the human body and the social interaction in our society leaves none indifferent. Words don´t do justice to his work, which can´t just be explained. It has to be seen an experienced live. There is a new exhibition in Sydney, Australia, so if you happen to be around, just drop by and post back your comments, as I would have loved to see it with my own eyes. For the rest of us, the only option is to admire the pictures from the exhibition in Design Boom or take a look at the photos about his creations uploaded from any user on Flickr.

Shanghai Expo 2010 Pavilions

 

[VIDEO] Not only animals grow hair... Buildings too! Whoever dares to say "everything in architecture is already invented" has lost his soul and creativity...

Take a look and reconsider... we can always make things better, bigger (or smaller) and stronger. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO CREATE FUTURE AND CONTINUE THE EVOLUTION.
