Santiago Calatrava Architecture

World Trade Centre Church

At the end of last year, Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava revealed the illuminated St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at Ground Zero in New York, replacing a church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks. Inspired by Byzantine architecture as well as the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul in particular, the church is arranged around a central drum-shaped form that is topped by a dome. The walls of the central section shown are made from thin sheets of Pentelic marble so that the building can be illuminated at night. It was designed by Calatrava to be a "sanctuary for worship" but also a stark reminder of the impact of the terrorist attacks.

Tate Modern Exhibition

Ice cream

On the cover

Like property, Ice Cream is always in season. There are fluctuations in the market for it, but property as an asset, a home or an invesment is always desirable. You can get different flavours, and qualities. Some will cost you an arm and a leg, sometimes a standard Mr Whippy will do. Sometimes it all goes wrong, if you're not watching your step. Yes, property like Ice Cream will always be desirable - short of a complete meltdown. Then all bets are off.

Retro Speakers

Audio Technology

Audio brand 'A for Ara' have introduced their range of retromodern speakers, inspired by the phonograph horn which serves both visual and functional purposes. Founded by Etsy co-founder Robert Kalin and NASA engineer William Cowan, ‘A for Ara’ hopes to be the antithesis of the modern-day hitech smart speaker. Both the FS-1 and FS-2 series are 54 inches in height, with a presence visually commanding enough to become the center of attention in any room.

Brendan Fraser being nominated for best actor at the 95 th Academy Awards this March. Aronofsky abandons the provocative, violent and very fierce gesture of his previous works to offer a fable about self-destruction that is extremely calculated and without edges.

Fraser and Chau give such heartfelt performances, and Charlie's shutin existence is so relatable in the pandemic era, that it's no surprise the movie makes many viewers weep. If you're local to Fulham, The Whale starts showing at Fulham Road Picturehouse from the 3 rd February, as well as Vue Fulham Broadway.
