Looking for Love Again: An Interactive Project



Looking for Love Again is an interactive public art project that collects everyone’s stories and ideas about the Polaris Building to help us better understand the history and forces that have shaped Fairbanks, while tugging at the heart strings of those who might be able to make our dreams come true," Chang shares. "With the help of many new friends, I covered the building with a giant sign that says 'Looking for Love Again' to turn this vacant high-rise into an emotional beacon pleading for love and inviting people to do a double-take and come in for a closer look. Two chalkboards at the street level invite people to share their memories of the building and hopes for its future. These responses will be documented and entered on the project site lookingforloveagain.org, where you can also contribute directly online

L House...

Recently, I have had the fortune of waking up in a bright Constantia room with sun streaming through the trees right outside the first floor bedroom window and onto the bed I'm sharing... I would love to wake up everyday to leaves rustling outside my window. This house must be awesome to live in...







If you have a look at all the pictures on the site you will see the pink accents. Even the little bit of pink is a little bit too much for me. But you must admire the openness of the house and how all the rooms seem to interact with the surrounding garden. The only thing that I can not appreciate in the library is all the sunlight. Its not that I don't like sunlight, its just... don't you ever want to find a dim little corner to snuggle up in? How can you do that is so much glass? But seriously, that library... Wow.

HUGE Town House...

I love the look of this massive town house with its lovely old garden. So much potential, I just want climb into the picture and have a go.





However the interior is a little to... traditional for me:

Very old Neighbours

Ah, I am loving this site. I have found more lovely treasures! This one about very old neighbours. A modern, minimalist house jammed between old town houses in Landskrona.





And it's all over...

The Royal Wedding - the wedding of the century *cough* - is over.



Kate's arrival:


David and Victoria Beckam (her hate is hilarious):


Even Elton John was there:

Industrial Renovated Loft

This space already was a local stables, a bomb shelter and a print shop. It took only eight months to turn it into a modern living space where industrial and raw materials meet modern ones.
