Our Milan map is here! It’s the only guide you’ll need to navigate the hundreds of events and exhibitions taking place all over the Italian city. Sign up for it via the link in bio.

Here’s the man himself, Peter Zumthor, catching a moment while we all snooped around (as per previous post, this was back in 2018)

As all I’m doing right now is staying home and writing about houses (book coming very soon), here’s one I actually visited in person back in 2018 and never posted for some bizarre reason. Shows how bad I am at Instagram! If you don’t know it, it’s Peter Zumthor’s Secular Retreat for Living Architecture (@livingarchitectureuk) and it’s a corker. But damn was it a labour of love

New year, new portraits! A huge thanks to @louadby_commercial for making me feel so at ease on a chilly December afternoon. I highly recommend to anyone in need of some new pics!

Me on a chair… it’s the Cubist Chair by Æther/Mass (@aether_mass) on show as part of This is Not a Garden Party, an exhibition by MAD Brussels (@mad.brussels) during Frieze week

A decade of chairs by Max Lamb, exhibited at his home and studio in Harrow-on-the-Hill in the third edition of Exercises in Seating. We dropped in on the opening weekend, but only just posting now, soz ;)

Imagine slicing through a concrete floorplate and hoisting it up to become a staircase. That’s exactly what happened at Thoravej 29, a groundbreaking adaptive reuse project designed by Pihlmann Architects. I had the pleasure of visiting last month during the inaugural Copenhagen Architecture Biennial (excuse the latergram, I’ve been busy 😂)

This is the second of the two designs we judges picked to win the Slow Pavilions competition, for the inaugural Copenhagen Architecture Biennial (@copenhagenarchitecturebiennial), and one that was a real labour of love for designers Tom Svilans (@tsvilans) and THISS Studio (@thiss.studio). Barn Again is built from the wood of three disassembled Norwegian barns, reimagined in a new form of assembly. Props to the team for an epic build that took far longer than expected, but resulted in something very special. And also a shoutout to my good friend Ed Milton (@ejmilton), whose beautiful Censer incense holders provide the calming scents inside

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
