20. Sustainable Fitness Centers
Jean Marc Rivet is a French architect who I believe has built the fitness center of the future. His French gymnasium boasts several eco-friendly innovations designed to cut down on the typically ravenous power consumption of modern-day athletic facilities.
Jean Marc Rivet’s structure incorporates rooftop gardens to aid in insulation, while a large skylight provides light during the day. Photovoltaic cells store the sun’s energy during the day and use it to provide illumination after dark.

I have to say that the ‘Chain Rocker’ is truly badass. Although the chair is not made from motorcycle components, it does actually combines real bicycle parts.

French photographer Sacha Goldberger’s Mamika is a series of photographs portraying his grandma Frederika in a superhero costume. In this Mamika series, Frederika conveys the message of hope, joy and self-confidence.

12. Sustainable Prism Apartments
The ‘Pyramid Project’ is a unique concept for a sustainable housing complex to be built by LAR in the Mexican city of Merida. The city of Merida is on the Yucatan Peninsula, home of the ancient Mayan civilization.

8. Carousel Couture Fashiontography
The Vogue Italia ‘Acrobats’ editorial featuring Karen Elson by Steven Meisel is a fun-filled shoot, chronicling a day in the life of a circus performer.
While the clowns and other performers are decked out in traditional costumes, the beautiful female model rocks some very fashionable outfits. I personally haven’t been on a merry-go-round in a while, but these picture of Karen Elson by Steven Meisel make me want to revisit this childhood past time.
Celebration issue 6 will be one to remember, especially with the addition of this hot house party pictorial by Kevin Amata. The shoot features models having the kind of fun your parents would disapprove of.
