Diller Scofidio + Renfro is an interdisciplinary firm, who in their own words, ’straddle architecture, urban design, visual arts and the performing arts’. Seemingly constantly creative, they have turned their attention to the concept of an Eco House, working with Atelier Ten, an environmental design firm. Named the Phantom House, the conceptual home is owned by a conceptual couple – J, who is an engineer working for a software-development firm, and M, who is a consultant for an Internet marketing company. This very now couple live in a ‘guilt-free, sustainable luxury house that thrives on excess’. By transforming redundancies into efficiencies, the inhabitants and the house form a feedback loop, in which energy produced in everyday activities can be banked and later reused. A remarkably well-presented and considered eco proposal, it is one of the few that attempts to tackle the weakness of us all – our consumption – head on and then turn it into a fuel.

I fell in love with Anthony Goicolea’s wonderful drawings and photographs a few years ago when I stumbled upon his show at Postmasters Gallery in New York. His world is both arousing and disturbing, as visions of childhood nostalgia and innocence intermingle with darker more abusive subject matter. Read more
While the Belizean Islands are some of the most beautiful and tranquil in the world, Belize City is one of those uninspiring places that most people travel in and out of very quickly. However, if you do find yourself stranded there, as I did, the city does have one redeeming attraction. Approximately twenty kilometres west of the centre, you’ll find the Belize Zoo — which the founders call the ‘best little zoo in the world’. It relies on charitable donations and has gained huge respect for housing native Belizean wildlife, such as jaguars, howler monkeys, tapirs, ocelots and toucans, in natural, tropical surroundings. If you’re there on the first Friday in April, you can even join hundreds of visitors in celebrating the birthday of the zoo’s resident tapir, April. The zoo has an awesome rasta-vibe, and the hand-written information posts are guaranteed to make you giggle.

The Phenomenal Handclap Band is a collection of musicians and artists from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn who perform live as an eight-member powerhouse, creating an eye-popping spectacle more akin to a spiritual church revival than a rock show.
