The Bird
With today’s news of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), home of iconic architect Richard Rogers, being awarded the design for a new terminal for the Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, I thought it fitting to showcase the first amazing piece of work at the airport, Santiago Calatrava’s Satolas TGV station. A photo from the inside is what kicked off the relaunch of this blog back in April.

Musee at Night
The sign says “The most important collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe.” That both says it all, and is merely a beginning — a portal to new worlds, new ideas and new creativity. The Centre Georges Pompidou is my favourite place in the city of Paris.

Village Vanguard
By 1957, the Village Vanguard, having gone through a few prior incarnations, took its place as the center of the jazz universe. Icons of the genre flocked to 7th Ave, in the heart of Greenwich Village, to play and record — albums and live sets that would live in infamy. John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan. Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Thad Jones. So many more, legends all. People say that the club hasn’t changed in all these years. But the effects of the club, and the albums made within its walls, have changed many.
