NIGHTCALL

Thursday, April 4, 2013

A nice cover of Kavinsky’s Nightcall from the soundtrack of Drive by the Parisian band based in London, We Were Evergreen. The sympathetic apparence of the band members in the video, which is shot for Beirut Jam Sessions, and  the beautiful sound of the xylophone even forces one to question which one is better: the original [...]

PARALLEL LINES [...THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER CROSSED]

Thursday, January 24, 2013

SUMMA SUMMARUM

Thursday, January 3, 2013

Some street sweets by Aakash Nihalani – it’s rare that street art with political ambitions really makes me think, but it’s great when street art with no overt ambitions makes me smile, and potentially look at our world slightly differently.

THE FUTURE OF ARCHITECTURE

Sunday, November 18, 2012

Utopias and dystopias have generated  several scenarios throughout the history related with spaces. In order to search for new perspectives Crap=Good collaborated with theorists, artists and architectural offices as well as several participants invited by an open-call. As a result of this attempt, now, we can interact with the book ‘What is the future of architecture?‘ in Motto Berlin [...]

RENDEZ-VOUS WITH PARIS

Thursday, September 20, 2012

In Berlin, we take the bus 100 when we want to do a little unofficial sightseeing tour of the city. In Paris, they do that slightly differently, or at least in 1976 they did. (thanks Don Koi)

Thursday, September 6, 2012

As of next week, chances are you will be seeing lots of people lurking around the two cities of Kansas City, Kansas side and Missouri side, with their noses down on the ground and voraciously sniffing, taking notes, exchanging meaningful glances and typing into their iPhones. What could be the meaning of it all?
As it [...]

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HERB LESTER

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Like anybody, we love city guides and maps, and even if traveling to a particular place might have to remain a dream for an unspecified period of time, just reading about it will send a little tingle of excitement down our spine. Anyway, city guides are probably the ultimate fun book project, and what a [...]

Contemporary solutions for confused weather

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

Wevther is a new favorite of mine.
Next time the weather gets confused you should give it a go and try it out yourself.
Wevther is not the typical weather forecast website. It goes beyond the simple weather prediction and helps you out also in selecting the appropriate (and most fashionable) clothes to go with the daily [...]
