Woman and Wall, Macau

Woman and Wall, Macau

Macau is known for gambling and tourism, but it’s also a great place to walk around and soak up the atmosphere and the architecture, a fascinating mix of European and Asian. It’s also not a bad place to live – according to the CIA World Factbook, the life expectancy of the Macanese is the 2nd highest in the world.

Reflections, Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Australia

One of my favourite features of modern public architecture is the way their sheer amount of glass creates endless opportunities for playing with reflections, blurring spatial relationships and the boundaries between interior and exterior.  And when you get take a building like the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and put a sailing ship right in front of it, the possibilities are endless.
