Abigail Reynolds: Folded past
London-based artist Abigail Reynolds made amazing relief sculptures of photographs taken from old tourist guides. The photos show the same place taken at different times from the same angle at a similar scale, and are folded in a way that upon unfolding the original image can be seen.

Wolfgang Tschapeller: Architecture meets science
Austrian architect Wolfgang Tschapeller won the competition for design of the Centre for Promotion of Science in Belgrade, Serbia. His concept of an elevated city readily displays a vision of technology and construction for this science centre. The building will only be supported by pillars and circulation points that touch the ground which offers a space for a public park underneath.

Alain Delorme: Totems
French photographer Alain Delorme shows us his own view of contemporary Shanghai with his brilliant work 'Totems'. Unlike most other photographers that are fascinated by the crowds, and the ubiquitous delusion of grandeur, Delorme draws his attention to the individuals. Particularly, to those small workers, migrants coming from all over China to the big cities. Although they are key driving forces of the seemingly incessantly growing society and their economic wealth, they usually get little attention. Delorme makes these individuals to superheros that handle their immense piles of objects with great dexterity. The piles become sculptures and symbols of a consumer society, with their height being as dizzying as those of the gigantic sky scarpers that emerge all over the place.
