2009-08-14T20:17:00.002-04:00

- "When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind."

With [mostly] every school having to wear uniforms, the only way left to stylistically express yourself is though your feet. While sneakers will be highly sought out for, I'm thinking stepping it up with some nice shoes. Take these for example produced by the Maine-based footwear manufacturer Quoddy. "The darker, more refined Maliseet Oxford features a 4-hole design with a clean upper wihile the Blucher on the other hand includes a light brown shade with collar trim." (via)

- "The Porsche Museum in Stuttgard, Germany, was conceived by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects as a dynamically formed organism, inviting new ideas on the use of gravity and space to establish a new basis in the foundations of architecture.

The central draft concept was the translation of the versatile and vivid brand into the language of architecture. The museum is an open, clearly defined place which incorporates all brand specific qualities. Here, speed and passion find their spatial equivalents and can be impressively retraced in the sensual experience."
