Okay, I’m sure you know a bit more than that, but unless you’re a Renaissance scholar, you’re certain to find yourself amazed and surprised at how much you didn’t know about the quintessential Renaissance man when you encounter a compilation of his notebooks—Codex Arundel—which has been digitized by the British Library and made available to the public.

The Art of Ian Fisher
The woks of Ian Fisher, Canadian-born 30-year-old painter, are focused exclusively on the representation of blue – and all the shades of colors that the clouds are changing in their lives.
“Why I chose to focus on the sky? Because it is so beautiful! "responds candidly Ian to Paola Paleari’s first and perhaps obvious question. "The clouds are mysterious elements in constant change. Continually alter their essence and, nevertheless, remain themselves. Heaven is the realm of chaos, but obeys a very precise rules. It is not glamorous? ”

Lost Landscape
Brazilian architect Luiz Eduardo Lupatini created a visual musing about the nature of human use of building materials.
He placed his conceptual design “Lost Landscape” at the heart of a quarry which would inspire individuals to confront their preconceived ideas about consumption. There is a notable interplay with positive and negative space as well as the presence of both industrial and natural textures. Monolithic concrete walls and entrances would allow people to navigate the extraction site as if it were a system of naturally occurring caves. See more on the winning Carrara Thermal Baths Competition project here.

Photographing the Milky Way Over Greece
Alexandros Maragos is an Athens based filmmaker and photographer best known for his landscape photography, astrophotography and timelapse imagery. In his own words:
The Milky Way is the name of the spiral galaxy in which our solar system is located. It is our home in space. The Earth orbits the Sun in the Solar System, and the Solar System is embedded within this vast galaxy of stars. In the northern hemisphere, the Milky Way is visible in the southern half of the sky. This makes Greece one of the best places in the world to see and photograph the galaxy because of the country’s geographic location in Southern Europe at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
As a filmmaker and photographer I feel very fortunate to live here. Every time I want to shoot the night sky, all I do is to pick a new spot on the map and just go there and take the shot. Greece is a heaven for astrophotography. Whether you choose a mountain, a beach, a peninsula or any of the 6,000 islands, the Milky Way is always visible in the southern sky.

Architectural Collages Depict the Fragmented Lives of Migrants
Architecture student Evan Wakelin has produced drawings that juxtapose the old and new homes of migrants in Toronto, to convey the emotional and physical upheaval these people experience. Wakelin’s thesis research project is part of his ongoing studies at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, where he is enrolled on the Master of Architecture course.
“The drawings illustrate hypothetical migrations to the city, whereby the original home of the migrant is layered with their current home within the city of Toronto,” explained Wakelin in his thesis research paper. “This intersection of past and present, over different geographical locations, describes a divided identity where the sense of belonging and sentiment exist somewhere in between.”

Gilles Alonso Explores Beauty in Symmetry
Symétrie du Spectacle by Gilles Alonso explores through photography the beauty of theaters symmetrical layout. The perfectly balanced plans of theaters are a result of the necessity for convergence looks, uniform sound propagation, and quick access to exits. By photographing these halls of center stage Alonso wants to show how architects have managed to create very different places working within the same set of constraints.
