Kulturcenter Mariehøj by WE Architecture + Sophus Søbye Architects

Project: Kulturcenter Mariehøj
Designed by WE Architecture and Sophus Søbye Architects
Website: www.we-a.dk + www.sophussoebye-ark.dk
The future “Mariehøj culturcenter” draws a clear profile in the landscape. With a new foyer, the culture center will get a new face that invites in all people in Ruderdahl’s municipality and also a heart that can bring together and highlight the many users and activities in the house. Continue for more after the junmp:

The culture center merges together with the green landscape: it bridges the gap between the arrival area, the cultural plaza and beautiful backyard of Mariehøj, it opens up towards the surroundings and incorporates the green qualities to the activities in the house.

Simultaneously, the house is a cultural activity center and a well-functioning working place. Through reorganization and rebuilding, better spaces for individual activities are created and more appropriate locations for the various functions. At the same time, more intersections and meeting points are being created. It brings together the multiple activities in the house and creates a space where new connections across all interests and ages may dwell. - from WE Architecture

Pharrell, Chad, and Shae pick up some scantily-clad hitchhikers while cruising the California highway in a one-of-a-kind painted Rolls-Royce.

M.I.A.: The Billboard Cover Story

During “Space,” the dreamy future-shock ballad that closes her upcoming third album, M.I.A. repeatedly coos, “My lines are down/You can’t call me,” over a gently percolating beat that sounds like a Sega Genesis practicing its pillow talk. It’s just one of the many observations on our data-drenched Infotainment Age that crop up throughout “/\/\ /\ Y /\,” a stunning, more-or-less self-titled effort from the 34-year-old Sri Lankan native born Maya Arulpragasam. Yet in a telephone interview with Billboard last week, the lyric is taking on another, more literal meaning, as M.I.A. travels on a Eurostar train from Brussels to London during a hectic round of European promotion. Namely, her cell phone keeps dropping our call whenever her train enters a tunnel.

When the line goes dead for the fourth time-hey, it’s Europe; there are lots of tunnels-it’s tempting to wonder if M.I.A. has perhaps hung up on purpose. After all, she’d just been asked about the massive attention paid to journalist Lynn Hirschberg’s less-than-fawning cover profile of her in the New York Times Magazine last month, and M.I.A.’s subsequent responses. Maybe she’s tired of discussing the story’s focus on her supposed radical chic: a comfortable, even posh personal life allegedly at odds with her firebrand art and politics. Maybe she’s fed up with talking about why she tweeted Hirschberg’s cell phone number, or later posted a covert recording of one of her and Hirschberg’s conversations. Maybe she’s sick of the term “Trufflegate” (so coined after Hirschberg made hay out of M.I.A. ordering truffle-oil-flavored French fries) and figures that simply avoiding the topic might help it die a speedy death.
