Gigi had had a day. She’d spent hours on set trying to concentrate on work while dealing with a personal life that only seemed to grow more complicated the more she tried to get it under control. Every time she thought she had it in a manageable place, some other new disaster would rear its head, until she felt suffocated by it all, wanting to throw her phone out a window just so she could get a few minutes of peace without some fresh new drama intruding. By the time she was done for the day and back at her apartment, ready to find Natalia and get their night going, she knew she probably looked ready to crack, the pressure of keeping herself calm and pleasant at work almost enough to unravel her. As she walked into her apartment, kicking off her sneakers and shedding her black leather jacket, the first thing she did was chuck her phone a the couch and let it disappear into some pillows, then turned to meet Natalia’s surprised expression. “Let’s go out. I need to dance and drink and not bring my phone and honestly I don’t even care if I have bags under my eyes at work tomorrow, I’ll pay to have them airbrushed out.” @sonataliadyer

one day i will let you read these and let you into the depths of my heart just so that you can know that you’ve etched yourself into the corners of my soul

like a vine you’ve crept slowly but surely, and i did not realize until it was too late but you are here now, and there is nothing i can do but continue to live on through your eyes

saltwater tracks itself across gentle planes; rivulets lined with sorrow that flow downstream chasing after an enigma that looks a lot like your smile

a rose dies and a sunflower wilts, blackened earth rises and stars explode; my heart hammers within its cage of bones but my mind silences her in all of her naivety.

you are worth so much more than i could ever give you

and as i lay curled here and dying you will never know just how much you mean to me.

Kagran

A high growth population in Wien confronts the city with unexpected challenges themed in Europan 12: a mono-use plot of shopping malls, isolated from the rest of the city by a highway and a train rail, should be converted into a multi-functional city piece without destroying its specific values. The project takes the existing elements (parking, public stripe, and shopping malls) and gives them a new reading, adding housing and a defined public space.

The plot is colonized with a hybrid building typology that can either substitute the existing shopping malls, grow into the free areas, or a combination of both. It creates an urban tissue around a linear public space (with staying areas and controlled circulation) that colonizes the existing parking when a new typology appears and concentrates the car space. This building typology extends the endless field of roofs defined by the shopping mall and tops it with a delicate arabesque of housing in a vertical combination able to change in time and host multiple uses and living models.
