Images of the Week

One of our fave artists - Mike Harrison of Depthcore's new work is simply gorgeous. Mike is responsible for this weeks "images of the week!"

 

  

 

Interior of the week - Hadid’s Middle East Centre in Oxford
With experience working on projects in Conservation Areas and with Listed Buildings I know how tricky it can be to get Planning.
One lady who always impresses me with her negotiation skills is Zaha Hadid.
Her latest project divided local residents, with some suggesting that the building would look out of place next to its Victorian neighbours.
However the forms and shapes Zaha sculpts create some beautiful flowing internal spaces.
It was finally given full planning permission in March 2009.
If the finished interiors look anything like the visuals it definitely deserves - interior of the week.

Tough Guy complete

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to let my fans (well all probably 1 or 2 of them) know that I am STILL ALIVE !

Attended Tough Guy and survived, medal in hand. It was definitely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Not to mention that I ended up in hospital for 7 hours with Hypothermia, while they frantically tried to raise my body temperature to regulate my heartbeat again. scary times!
