Concrete structure and cellular arrangement of the University Hall of University of Lethbridge (Alberta, Canada) seen from above. Designed by the architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960's. Seen in the February 2014 issue of The Architectural Review.

Page 14 and 15 from the book "Verstild" by Cees Visser. Printed in 150 copies, published by Cees Visser and typographer Dick Berendes in 2005.

One poem by Guido Gezelle (De rave) and one poem by Jacques Hamelink (De dode meeuw) were the starting point of this beautifully crafted book design. Cover design by Alex Barbaix, printed by Pastei in Amsterdam, 1988.

The two poems are wrapped in a sheet of straw smooth India paper, on which the illustration by Alex Barbaix and the colophon are printed. The cover is held together with a spike and raffia. The work is considered to be one of the highlights in recent Dutch book printing history.

A dear friend sent me this 2012 Vogue UK interview with her. Powerful.

This might be an important movie to watch, and not merely because of the technical bravado of filming with 200 dogs. As Variety.com describes it: "Not merely a story of interspecies hierarchy, then, “White God” also puts forward a simple but elegant metaphor for racial and class oppression, as the outcast (or even outcaste) masses, sidelined in favor of the elite few, band together to assert their collective strength."

The colors of the image are not true to the original high quality reproduction of the book due to scanning.

The images featured show portraits of roma, life in the gypsy camp, and the traditions and style of these once nomadic people.

Iwan Baan is one of the most sought-after architectural photographers, working with the likes of Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas, among others. Lately he also pursued a personal project and photographed buildings that people build for themselves, sometimes by themselves, mostly out of necessity. This special project resulted in an exhibition and book entitled 52 weeks, 52 cities. To see more fascinating images and to read the entire interview with Iwan Baan please click here.

It has been a couple of weeks ago that I have seen this triptych at Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, and I still carry a small reproduction with me. Commemorating a powerful and tragic love story between two men, the painting was set beautifully in the exhibition place of the church.

Nevertheless it is a beautifully crafted movie, showing a fair amount of original (some irreplaceable) YSL pieces, which were handled with white gloves during filming.
