Enhanced Architecture

I found this video looking through the June issue Wallpaper magazine, all about the “made in China”. Apart from the exceptional engineering and architectural work, what caught my attention was the sober use of colour, made visible just from some angles, not just adorning and communicating, but expressing all the richness of the Chinese culture.

Environ-mentally

One of my great concerns is the future of our planet (so, my future, your future, their future…) the reason why every action, product, object, food, dream, I think of, I first judge “environ-mentally“.
