after having the rug pulled out from underneath me multiple times this past week, i felt the need to read some quotes and see some photographs of some of the women i find to be incredibly inspiring (and i thought it might be nice to share them with you.)
edit: kate reminded me that nancy wake needs to be here too. oh the list could go on and on and on...
What wonderful, amazing women.
Mad Architects has sent us images of a new project, urban forest, located in chongqing, china.
drawing on the mountainous landscape of the country, the commercial high-rise building,
is made up of curved, abstracted shaped floors which have been layered slightly off-center
from one another. connected by a core cylindrical structure, each level’s interior is
protected by full length glass windows with a see-through, wrap around balcony.
this provides transparency throughout the building, and makes the floors almost seem as if
they are floating on top of one another. the overall design brings together nature and the
urban metropolis, with the incorporation of green space and large expansive views of the city.
This is the coolest thing ever! Such an awesome design.

No More Ugly Scaffolding
The “Urban Umbrellas” will replace ugly scaffolding tunnels in parts of the city, making it a nicer walk for pedestrians, and obscuring less of the buildings under construction-a big plus in a city as pretty as this one. … Designed by Young-Hwan Choi
