Using black and white images to draw out the power of London's architecture, self-taught photographer Nicolas Lescot gives a unique glimpse into the capital city. Letting himself get lost in London, his sharply contrasted images challenge viewers to perceive London architecture in a new way. Lescot doesn't always shoot in black and white, but with this series, it was a purposeful choice. “This time I wanted to play with shapes, lines, architecture styles and their contrast,” the photographer shares with us via email. “I did not want the colors' power to interfere with the understanding of my intention. Also, I found this album more powerful and graphical in black and white.” As an additional challenge, the entire series was shot using just one lens. Lescot ventured out with his Nikon D600 and a 50mm 1.8 lens as an exercise in creating compositions within a constraint. Always seeking to improve his work, he's continuing the project with a set of photos based in Bru...

A former car showroom has found a new life as innovative modern architecture thanks to the studio CHYBIK+KRISTOF . Using the idea of “façade as a functional banner,” they’ve lined the exterior of a furniture gallery with over 900 black plastic seats. The memorable covering features layered chairs that compose an eye-catching and highly textural motif. Upon viewing the building, you instantly know that's it's got to do with interior design—essentially making the structure a giant advertisement. The single-story building is now the home to the MY DVA group, which focuses on the production of office, school, and metal furniture. When they took over the showroom, it was outdated; the space was first established in the 1990s. The architects then had the unique challenge to design quickly and essentially around MY DVA, because they were already working inside. “Do it cheap, ideally for free,” architects Ondrej Chybik and Michal Kristof recall  of the brief. This constraint proved i...

Elle est de retour dans ses plus beaux atours. À cette heure du jour, la lumière est un délice et met bien en valeur son séduisant plumage. Celle-ci venait de consommer plusieurs poissons sur place. À mon grand bonheur, ce dernier poisson pêché un peu trop près d'un nid de bernache se voit emporté pour dégustation dans un lieu non loin mais plus paisible. Depuis quelques jours une bernache mâle monte la garde près du nid où couve sa belle et n'hésite pas chasser même en vol tout ce qui pourrait être potentiellement un danger pour sa dame. Bref, il se prend pour un carouge. She's back and she's dressed to kill ! This one, having had several for dinner this early evening, has no choice but to order "Fly-out" having spiked this fish much too close to a Canada Goose nesting zone. The male Goose has the habit of chasing, even in flight, anything that gets too close to its significant other's nest. Probably thinks he's a blackbird. Parc des Rapides de Lachi...
