Nguyen Khac Phuoc Architects and Dang+Partners have worked together to create a mini house with a unique structure and a simple, minimalist style. Module+ is a cabin designed specifically for tea farmers and the few tourists who venture into the Tea Hills of Vietnam, whose project aimed to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment, which has remained almost untouched over the years.

The peculiarity of Module+ is the fact that it is built using only 2000 pieces of wood in the shape of a cross, which, in three days, have been embedded with each other and have given rise to a small hut of 6 square meters that allows those inside to enjoy all the beauty offered by nature.

The thousands of modules that make it up to represent the productive and indissoluble connection between man, architecture and nature.

Many have tried, but few have managed, to reproduce the beauty and uniqueness of the waves of the sea, which all seem the same and, instead, are all different. One of the artists who arrived at the goal was Aaron Kai.

Aaron was born in Hilo, Hawaii, and maybe here he started to develop an absolute love for the sea and its forms. After moving to San Francisco this passion has not abandoned him, on the contrary, it has poured into his work and graphics.

Every subject that Aaron draws is as if it were then overwhelmed by a sea storm and the edges of the drawing take the form of water. To make his products even more original are, in fact, the subjects, almost always characters of pop culture or logos of famous brands.

Aaron’s originality, colors, and style make his works perfect on every type of surface, whether it’s a wall, a sheet of paper, a T-shirt, a surfboard, or for any occasion.

Australian studio Alexander & Co has recently completed the Imperial Restaurant in Sydney, a very special place reminiscent of an old abandoned mansion, where faded opulence becomes the main charm of the environment.

The restaurant is located in the suburb of Erskineville and has been a point of reference for LGBT community since 1983, but in the last two decades, the building had been left in a state of neglect, devoid of any kind of maintenance. The restyling carried out by the studio has given a new personality to the structure, maintaining its vintage and decadent soul.

The ground floor now contains a 250-seat restaurant called Priscillas, named after the 1994 comedy The Adventures of Priscilla – Queen of the Desert, a film that follows the journey through Australian outback of a transgender woman and two drag queens. Many of the walls that had been worn by time have been torn like this and if necessary they have been freshened with a coat of white paint, with the addition in the dining room a new fresco that seems to have come out of a baroque church.

Nothing and nobody seems to escape Dan Cretu’s creativity. Dan is a graphic designer born in Bucharest and for his works of unique originality is inspired by everything around him, art, film, music, news, fashion. The artist manages to mix any element with each other, surprising the viewer every time.

For example, sometimes the faces of the subjects of the most famous paintings appear on covers of models, the statues come to life and go to the beach or to make a lamp, and above all, the profane joins the sacred.

Although digital collages seem to have become the art of the moment, trendy, and we are bombarded with them, Dan’s works differ from all the others in quality and originality.
