There’s a fantastic collection currently showing at Atlanta’s Get This! Gallery. “If You Lived Here – You’d Be Home Now” is a set of photographs by Abby Banks.

Thin, tall, and handsome: a strikingly vertical live/work space by Belgium's sculp(IT) is the subject of a new feature posted this week on Archinect, with photographs by Luc Roymans. Referring to the building's prominent glazing – walls of glass looking out onto the street, inserted in a shipping container-like "steel skeleton" – the architects ask: "Where is the border of living if everything is visible?"

Artist Duncan Wilson's Madsounds/OTTO project, developed in collaboration with Manolis Kelaidis and originally unveiled back in 2006, lets anyone eavesdrop on the secret lives of buildings.

Just west of downtown Helsinki, on the site of a port that will soon be relocated, an entirely new city will soon rise from nothing, with aspirations to become a model 21st century urban center. We've been hearing of many sprouted-from-seed green projects like this in Asia, such as New Songdo City in Korea, Dongtan in China, and Masdar City near Abu Dhabi; but most of these are in developing areas. Finland's Jätkäsaari will take its place on a continent already considered environmentally-conscious, though of course Europe's wealth makes its ecological footprint much larger than that of almost any country in Asia.

German documentary Nicht-Mehr Noch-Nicht (Not Here Not Yet) explores Europe’s urban voids and the artists and citizens looking to fill them in.

Forbes recently ran an article on the 10 best American cities for drinkable tap water (hello Des Moines!). One of the inspirations for the study is the growing problem with plastic-bottle refuse.

After almost three years, the Bouroullec Brother's Slow Chair is finally in production.
