Paris-based design firm Off Architecture, in collaboration with Duncan Lewis Scape Architecture and Jeans Gincinto, is granting a gift for current and future students of the Lycee Jean Moulin in Revin, France. The Lycee, which will be completed sometime in 2012, is being constructed to sustainable standards, including being built with the flow of the hillside where it resides. The school’s blueprint is a single-floor construction with terraced floors moving up the hill. The roofs of each building is made to resembling the rolling landscape and is flooded with vegetation so that by air, the school nearly disappears. In what promises to be the first of many sustainable lycees in France, the bar is set extremely high.

The Mosque of Paris is a majestic, pink marble building set in the fifth arrondissement of the French capital. Though it’s a top place for Muslim worship in the city of lights, for those not worshipping, half the building is open for massages, hamams, shisha, and delicious couscous, North African sweets, and teas.

Or in this case, New York and Toronto. It seems that Paris would like to keep up with urban airports, and thus rumors are flying that the City of Lights will build an airport in the middle of the Seine. The photo above is a design by a French architect, with the runway in the middle of the Seine.

This non-official video for Parisian electronics and drums duo Zombie Zombie is a remake of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Directors Simon Gisrel and Xavier Ehretsmann manage to retain the creepiness of the original using only stop-motion animated GI Joe figures. Pretty rad.

In these new quick-eat restaurants around Paris, the quality of the air is as important as the quality of the food. Mathieu Lehanneur has utilized a 3 billion year old micro-algae, Spirulina Platensis, in 100 litre vats to produce large quantities of pure oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Read more

Much like layers, when it comes to menswear, Old World Gatsby never really goes out of fashion. All tapered straight leg pants, boat shoes and fitted cardigans, ‘The Swing of the Pendulum’ collection by Our Legacy is one of the best uses of old money style I’ve seen. Read more

If the juggernaut of fashion weeks were a high school, then Paris would be the popular kid. Beautiful, snobby and maybe a little bit of a slut, she puts on a good show, but rarely surprises. Luckily for Paris, layering, structure and tactile fabric never really go out of fashion. Read more

February 29, 2008 | New Film | by Xavier Toby |
Films are popular primarily because they provide an escape from the drudgery and repetition of everyday life. The characters are then as unrealistic as most of the storylines — too well-dressed, attractive, insightful and witty to be real. With 2 Days in Paris, Marion (Julie Delphy) and Jack (Adam Goldberg) are petty, neurotic and jealous. They have stupid fights, awkward, unfulfilling sex, and are initially difficult to like because they are so visceral. Read more

Creating modern-vintage inspired by 1950s Australian housewives and rock’n'roll style pin-up glamour, Peta Pledger has been producing one-off, made-to-measure or small-run garments and accessories since 2003. Her love affair with the sewing machine began in 1988 when — like many lovely ladies — she couldn’t find any clothing that flattered her figure. Read more
So I have this recurring dream. Well, not really a dream as such. More a footnote on the thesis on life; a ‘mental meandering’ where my mind flows to a secret place which only I and Paul McCartney can access. Read more
TIME magazine’s annual Person of the Year issue is coming out this week. I illustrated one of the runner-ups, but of course, I have to keep my mouth completely shut. I don’t know who is the winner though. On TIME’s website, you can see all the past covers of this most talked about issue of each year. It’s a good time to look back history and learn from it anyway, don’t you think?
History is the story of the winners, and western dominated culture recounts few triumphs from the east. Mongol is an effort to correct this balance, and the eastern influence is evident in much more than just the storyline. It is more like a fairy tale or legend handed down through generations, than based on fact, with mythical elements playing a major part, and the character’s motivations remaining simple. Read more
The frontman for Sydney trailblazers, Paper Scissors, has just dropped his first solo EP under the alias of Pork Pies, and it’s an absolute beaut. Like the Paper Scissors’ more low-key numbers, there’s a real feeling of raw nostalgia running through the record. Jai Pyne’s distinctive vocals linger on your eardrums for a while after they’ve ceased, anchored down by a poignancy and sense of longing.
