Je Voudrais

1.  Black Chuck Taylors
2.  Poolside's rendition of Harvest Moon
3. To be in the glare of Bec Brittain's Shy 088
4. A generator with Snake Plissken endurance

Funestration

 For December, Disney will be usurping the piano nobile of Barney's position along the Madison Avenue landscape.  "Electric Holiday" is the theme for this season's annual window blitz.  Designed to assault pedestrians with a multi-platform score of music, lights and fashion... theatrics will carol the architecture of street life. 

Where's the beef?

Modena's Hosteria Giusti has been tailored for the truly epicurious.  Garnished with a cut of secrecy, it reigns supreme in it's designed approach.
Beckoning from an ominous Freemans-style alley, the salumeria requires patrons to call from a hull of darkness.  Once reservation has been confirmed, louvered doors swing open and light reveals a lilliputian dining emporium scaled around four dining tables.  Andiamo.

Culturally Uplifting

West 8 designed this undulating thread which buffers Toronto's spread of Lake Ontario.  Appearing to be contorted from seismic activity,  it's pallid gesture is a unique silhouette along the monotony of pedestrian paving.  The amalgamation of form and function that play on proportion and scale.... beautility.

Heeling hijinks

A perfect pairing.

the lexicon of street

Graffiti artist, Barry McGee tats his serifs with a candy striper slant.  The double wide sidewalk and picture lights persuades the diffident urban landscape to transform to gallery art form.  
                                

The Bomb

The transition between stone and lawn can be an abrupt mess.  With the addition of these grenade-esque sculptures, they smooth the passageway along this threshold with a Mycenaean edge .
