hedi slimane

Just stumbled across this photograph by Hedi Slimane and it stopped me in my tracks. And if you don't already, know about him.

buddhist tendencies

My friend Robert is an architect and teaches architecture. He recently set his students the task of designing a structure for 'a buddhist with modern tendencies' - an assignment that kind of caught my fancy. Being more of a decorator than a designer, I'd be up for taking a shot at the interior/exterior, even though it's oh so difficult to avoid some of the cliches that are often associated with the practise. Needless to say, the materials would be eco-friendly and the home self-sustainable, incorporating recycled surfaces.

“Do not ask yourself what the world needs;

ask yourself what makes you come alive.

And then go and do that.

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
~ Howard Thurman

A Woman's appetite is twice that of a man's;

her sexual desire, four times;

her intelligence, eight times."

~ Sanskrit Proverb
