design power

As a surprise treat from my e-mail, it is announced that Zaha Hadid's new project is coming to town. Admire this architect for being a woman and standing her ground within the "macho" society that seems to surface in the design world. Pierres Vives building of the Department of Herault in Montpellier has a " Zaha Hadid" feel, like in all her works she incorporates a fluid movement within her designs despite the scale of the project.

*feast your hungry eyes on this :)

Another piece of art, which i always wondered about is this huge reflective bean called the "cloud gate". Two nights ago, after watching 5 takes to the USA.I finally found that the art piece is situated right in Chicago, seems like the perfect spot. This cute bean reflects and embodies the movement of the city.Ironically it looks like our daily kitchen with ants except here a congregation of human bodies are attracted to this piece of sculpture. Would love to imagine myself under that blob of mass. Artist, Anish Kapoor Where, Millenium Park, Completion, summer 2005
