Infographic: The Life of Le Corbusier | Vincent Mahé
4 double pages spread of a drawn biography of genius architect Le Corbusier for a special Télérama about his life and work. France is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his death with a great exhibition in Centre Pompidou, Paris.
top: Future Housing Systems 002: abandoned suburban strip mall shell infills with recycled manufactured housing units. Drive through short term housing for a mobile transient population.
bottom: Future Housing Systems 005: This prototype uses discarded structural components from urban demolition sites along with waste materials from new construction to build make-shift scaffolding that supports massive inhabitable light tubes hanging between the walls of thin urban alleyways. Transient inhabitants are able to find both shelter inside the tubes and grow sustenance below them from a fertile ground plane made possible by the light now finding its way to the surface. The alley remains public ground and free for all to use.

The Peak Leisure Club | Zaha Hadid | Via
In 1982, Zaha Hadid won the competition for a new private club located in the hills ofKowloon. The architect proposed a horizontal skyscraper formed by different layers in order to create a new artificial topography. These layers were designed as large cantilevered beams that came from the ground and float above the site. One of the most interesting features of the project is the recovery of the suprematism proposed by El Lissiztky among others during the Russian Avant Garde as a starting point of her careerr. The superposition of different horizontal layers builds the project, adapting the programs into the design. Moreover, the open spaces between the beams are also one of the most interesting parts of The Peak. These areas create dramatic spaces where Zaha Hadid introduces leisure programs as the swimming pool.
The Gold Mines of Serra Pelada | Via
In the early 1980s, Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado travelled to the mines of Serra Pelada, some 430 kilometers south of the mouth of the Amazon River, where a notorious gold rush was in progress. A few years earlier, a child had found a 6-grams nugget of gold in the banks of a local river, triggering one of the biggest race for gold in modern history. Motivated by the dream of getting rich quickly, tens of thousands of miners descended into the site swarming like ants in the vast open-air pit they had carved into the landscape. Salgado took some of the most haunting pictures of the workers there, highlighting the hazardous conditions in which they worked and the sheer madness and chaos of the operation.
During its peak, the Serra Pelada mine employed some 100,000 diggers or garimpeiros in appalling conditions, where violence, death and prostitution was rampant. The diggers scratched through the soil at the bottom of the open pit, filled it into sacks each weighing between 30 to 60 kilograms, and then carried the heavy sacks up some 400 meters of wood and rope ladders to the top of the mine, where it is sifted for gold. On average, workers were paid 20 cents for digging and carrying each sack, with a bonus if gold was discovered. Thousands of underage girls sold their bodies for a few gold flakes while around 60–80 unsolved murders occurred in the nearby town, where the workers lived, every month.
Time In Between - Fairy Tale Of Russia | Frank Herfort
The whole world is frozen in a condition of waiting. The people on these photos seem to be totally absorbed in a deep, paralyzing, enchanted slumber. And we have the uncanny sneaking feeling that this time there is no prince on his way to kiss them awake again. “This moment of life here could go on for ever” remarks Frank Herfort, who photographed his project “Time In Between” in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other places in Russia. The images make a surreal, absurd impression; they raise more questions than they answer. “The storyline, these absurd constellations, develops out of the relationship between the people in the photos and the space around them,” comments the Leipzig born photographer, project.
The seminal idea for it came to him during a stay in Russia some years ago, at a time when he was beginning to develop an interest in the aesthetic aspect of public spaces. “In Western Europe everything is so neatly defined, so specific. A waiting room is a waiting room, an office is an office. In Russia, in contrast, rooms are open to interpretation, many-layered and not so prettified.
