His risible insinuation is that Farrelly is somehow a failed architect, or ill-qualified to provide proper analysis

Frustrated by this turn of events and starved of open conflict, at this point I decide to suicidally launch myself into the fray. I was supposed to write about the conversation, not get involved, but here I am pointing out the elephant in the room

There was an air of expectation in the room, tensions charged by the prospect of imminent bloodshed.

“When we can, we like to use colour, and strong colour at that – it lifts people’s spirits,”

The fourth floor uses the existing space for offices while the new is reserved for the sculptural terrace and MCA cafe. It is an impressive decision that allows visitors the full advantage of the view.

By operating between the foyers they avoid the previous state of confusion where visitors were deposited mid exhibition with no clear understanding of which direction to take, often leaving the left avenue overlooked.

Programmatically, Marshall has placed the foyer as a fulcrum at the juncture of old and new. This is visually reinforced from the quay, where the museum is now entered via a substantial plaza and grand staircase of broad cement stairs creating an undeniably extravagant sense of arrival. Leading the visitor upwards is a commissioned wall work of orange triangles, Tango, 2012, by Helen Eager. From George Street, the entrance is less grand, but a vast improvement on the confusing previous incarnation. To the south, the older part of the museum exists as large corridors that open and flow through a variety of exhibition spaces.

Nevertheless, people still chase those perfect rooms

You and I both know the house. Visually perfect in every way,but ultimately inhospitable.

Sharing is a great tool; look to your left, click on a button and share this article on discrimination against women to friends, loved ones and those you care for.

It is best to encourage girls to grow up informed of the common forms of discrimination they are likely to face, and to develop strategies from a young age to take responsibility and stand strong in the face of adversity.

The rightful property of their father or brother, there are many girls who are left to the bidding of the family members with no protectors or supporters who have their best interests at heart.

The company has already created 3D visuals for hundreds of products, according to the report. Other than that, very few details are available. 

In the water-rich areas of the US, such as the southeast, this significant cultural relation to water is largely absent and the infrastructure reflects this.

Progressive coastal infrastructure proposals (such as those responding to the annual Oneprize, which this year was titled “Stormproof”) include designs relying heavily on natural wetland and “green” solutions. These can buffer and adapt to the disturbances through time, letting ecological processes respond, shift, and adjust to each intervention rather than creating stiffer, man-made armour.

Historically, our urban infrastructure has materialised as a response to some emergent or acute problem, like natural disasters.

At the Scott Company, the country's biggest producer of lawn fertilizer, sales have skyrocketed in three years, from $228 million to $442 million.

Real lawn guys no longer call their lawn ''lawn,'' of course. ''If you're serious about your lawn, if you're an aficionado of grass, you refer to it as 'turf,' ''

'Of course, they can walk on it,'' he says. ''It's a lawn.'' And yet this is more than a lawn. It's as nearly perfect an expanse of uniformly green turf as one is likely to find outside of England, and for the last seven years it has been his passion.

This calls for a uniform change of attitude, that it isn’t a matter of “singling out” women or forcing them into tokenism, but a matter of correcting a systematic imbalance.

“Not enough women designers are given the recognition that they deserve,” says graphic designer Antonio Carusone.

The National Education Association reports of 2011 estimated that 54% of all US designers in the profession are women. In the UK it is lower, although the Design Council research found that 70% of design students in the UK are women, but 60% of the industry is male. I was curious to explore the reductive process by which these female majorities dwindle.

Combining new transportation methods that encourage the principles of a healthy life style with traditional roads can raise land values, attract investment and activate the urban environment.

owards the end of my trip, it occurred to me that this explosion in cycling, ought to be put into an historic context, in order to enable the politicians and the public to recognize the scale of the opportunity, the change it might bring to our cities and our lives.

I believe that cycling might just be the catalyst for a 21st Century urban renaissance.

The Starry Night that is world-renowned was painted in 1889. But the year before, van Gogh created his original Starry Night, sometimes known as Starry Night Over The Rhone.

He also left out the window's less-than-welcoming bars, a detail he included in another letter to Theo. In May of 1889, he wrote, "Through the iron-barred window. I can see an enclosed square of wheat ... above which, in the morning, I watch the sun rise in all its glory."

"This morning I saw the country from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big."

D.C. Charles Lang Freer, an American railroad-car manufacturer and globe-trotting connoisseur, bought the room, after Leyland’s death, from a London dealer, in 1904, and had it installed at his home, in Detroit. Upon Freer’s death, in 1919, his will endowed the Freer Gallery,

It took my breath away,” Dr. Barratt said.

What still draws me to go to department stores—because I still love department stores—is having tangible goods in front of you and being able to touch, to see, and to feel what it is that’s being sold

the discolored shadows of their missing lighted signs lingering like ghosts.
