Castle House / Tezuka Architects. There is a local residential rule that the height of the building’s roof should be the same throughout. Most homes have similar roofs and windows at the same height adhering to local conventions. This is such that the act of going up to the second floor in order to witness the beautiful scenery of the mount Fuji is a privilege distributed equally to all the residents. Therefore, the act of "climbing upwards" has always been naturally embedded into the daily lifestyle of Japanese people

IL SEGNO DEL SAGITTARIO
testo e disegno by Maria Cristina Vimercati
SAGITTARIO-TERZA DECADE
22 Novembre – 21 Dicembre
Il segno dello Sagittario è leale, serio e capace di grandi passioni. La sua personalità è fatta di slanci, ma spesso è vittima di illusioni. Ama porsi come insegnante e ritiene che la sua verità sia quella assoluta. Questo provoca nelle amicizie e nella vita sentimentale l’alternarsi di contrattempi ed incomprensioni: è in realtà un segno facile e molto adattabile. Mese sostanzialmente felice, siete pronti, lucidi, pieni di coraggio. Ve la sentite di affrontare qualsiasi cosa, inclusa la fortuna. Emanate energia positiva, siete protetti dai pericoli. Il mese è ottimo: non dimenticate di coltivare sostanza e realizzare un sogno, non solo fare un bel viaggio. Siete sotto i riflettori e più che mai vi fa piacere. Matrimoni in vista.

amphitheater, chengde, china, architects: open architecture, ph jonathan leijonhufvud
Nestled in a mountainous valley two hours away by car from the center of Beijing, The Chapel of Sound is a monolithic open-air concert hall with views to the ruins of the Ming Dynasty-era Great Wall. Designed by Beijing-based architecture office, OPEN, to look as a mysterious boulder that had gently fallen into place, the building is built entirely from concrete that is enriched with an aggregate of local mineral-rich rocks, and encompasses a semi-outdoor amphitheater, outdoor stage, viewing platforms, and a green room. While designed to capture the unfamiliar and deeply touching experience of music performed in the cradle of nature, the architects also wanted people just to calm down and listen to the sound of nature, which they believe is profoundly inspiring and healing. When there is no performance, the concert hall is also a tranquil space for contemplation and community gatherings with stunning views of the sky and the surrounding landscape
