Unit Portables Shoulder Bag

Unit Portables Shoulder Bag come with pouches of different unit sizes, because they know as much as a minimalist person would only like to just bring along their laptop, there’s always a need to carry along an adapter and/or a mouse, notepad, hard drive. I like how this bag has this “and/or” flexibilty.

Duomo di Milano

The Duomo di Milano, is the grand cathedral located at the centre of Milan, Italy and sits the Archbishop of Milan. Conception and construction of the cathdral began in 1389 with layers upon layers of  additions (and removals) that took at least 500 years to complete. Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the completion of the facade in 1805 and the last gate was only unveiled in 1965 (now that is some deadline!)

Check out the amazing view of the city from the roof and the roof itself is pretty amazing! more photos of this elaborately detailed cathedral after the jump

Gare de Saint-Exupéry TGV

Gare De Saint-Exupery TGV is Lyon’s aeroport train station that connects France’s bullet train commuters to the airport. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 1994. I first saw this in a book when i was a first year architecture student, 5 years on and i’m actually inside the building, i can still feel the goosebumps as i upload the photos. View the entire set here.

Santa Maria degli Angeli Chapel

It’s summer solstice here in Switzerland, taking advantage of the amazing weather and sunlight, we took a trip up Monte Tamaro in Ticino, Switzerland to visit the very beautifully sited Santa Maria Degli Angeli Chapel, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta. (many more photos after the jump!)

Vila Cruziro, a slum in Brazil gets a new paint job!

This took Dutch artiste Jeroen Koolhas and Dre Urhahn almost six months to paint up this slum village. check out more at FavelaPainting.com

Having done community work in a slum in Indonesia myself, i tip my sweaty stained cap to the peeps who did this amazing stuff indeed!
