Together we will end AIDS

YAHAnet (Youth, the Arts, HIV & AIDS NETwork) ran an interactive booth in the Global Village of the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012). 313 photos of visitors’ hands were printed off and attached to clotheslines around the booth, with handwritten messages on the photos declaring what is needed to “take the LEAD to get to zero”. Because that is the message: ‘making Aids and HIV history’. For making the project accessible for everybody they just launched a virtual exhibition with all the 313 photo’s. You can download and view the art work here.

Adding Colour to the Street, One Lego Piece at a Time

Images from Dispatchers Worldwide, a group that aims to add color to the urban grayscales in public spaces and “emphasize transitoriness as a chance for the construction and reconstruction of our environments.”  Anyone can join Dispatchers Worldwide and create a project in their very own city.

Edgar Street Towers Project, Lower Manhattan by IwamottoScott

The towers would reconnect Greenwich and Washington streets, acting as an east-west public way aligned with the primary north Manhattan street grid which is directly on the 5th Avenue axis. Double entrance lobbies located on the sides of the passageway open to the public. Twisting upwards, the passageway soars and pinches at the middle to allow for larger floor plates, settling at a civic space and rooftop sky lobby. A seamless design, The Edgar Street Towers blend right into Lower Manhattan’s grid of civic landmarks, enhancing public life through connection and engagement.
