Los Terrenos by architect Tatiana Bilbao

For this new house project, Los Terrenos (The Terrains), Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao conceived a trio of small buildings (just under 2,200 square feet in total), each of which serves a specific function and emphasizes one of the three main materials in the project’s palette.

The largest of these, a structure covered in its entirety with a mirrored facade that contains an open living/dining/ kitchen space, allowing it to disappear into the surrounding vegetation; its peak-roofed profile mirrors those of the mountains, and concealed doors open the interior to the terrace beyond.

Travel Startup Lets You Vacation with Artists from around the World

"Vacation with an Artist" or simply VAWAA is a quite new platform for people like us: those who like travelling with a purpose. With no intend to advertise the service we follow its concept hence it is not new and even Airbnb launched its "Experiences" last year. Through VAWAA, an art-hungry traveler can book several-day workshops with a street artist in Buenos Aires, an ikebana master in Kyoto, and a bamboo bicycle-maker in Bangalore, among other artisans representing a vast array of mediums.

Mono no Aware

"Shot around central and southern Japan / Okinawa, the series by Gabriella Achadinha shows day and night photographs of spaces and individuals that stood out from the time there. Marlize Eckard has added her touch by creating the ‘fleeting impermanence’ via acrylic paint with additional strokes that create the smudging, lapsing memory."

Skygarden - Trailer by Fabian Weber

Fabian Weber's short film debut. 

An emotional homage to Switzerland, nature, music and life in all its facets.

Auditory perception is triggered by tonal phenomenon, such as language and music. These stimuli are the gateway to recent and distant memories of all kinds, the sequences of pleasant and often unpleasant experiences that shape and accompany us throughout our lives. They are part of us and make us who we are today.

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2016

Who does not love traditions? Neither we are. Here is a new year-waited Christmas advert presented by UK retail store network John Lewis. But here is the funny fact - it was a false-start last week when someone spotted a student work dedicated to John Lewis Christmas topic and push it through social web and medias so it gained a million of views.
