Insect Hotel

Award winning design by Arup Associates. Different materials are placed inside each segment to attract different insects. The brief called for for a sustainable and creative insect habitat for the city of london parks, called "Beyond the Hive". The segements in the 1500 X 1500 structure reflect the organic shapes found in nature.
Buzzy.

SATC2 Apartment Envy

Big and Carrie's apartment is the only subtly glamorous thing about the eagerly anticipated SATC 2 movie. The outfits and the plot line were often cringeworthy, even the girls got on my nerves at times (poor Big, he works hard in finance, there's the GEC going on... and Carrie gets angry at him because he wants a night on the couch...) but the set design and all the interiors are the winners in the film. Loving the use of pattern in wall paper and textiles in the married couple's shared space. You can read more about Lydia Marks' set design work for SATC2 here
