The Metropol Parasol in Seville, Spain, was completed last month, designed by J. MAYER H. Architects, carved out in the centre of town, meshing seamlessly with it.
The mostly timber structure has an archaeological museum, a farmers’ market, an elevated plaza, multiple bars and restaurants underneath and inside the parasols, as well as a panorama terrace on the upper level of the parasols.
How architecture can feed and inspire the soul.

Finally, blood orange season, free for the co-opting.
Like the School of Visual Arts has done here.
This is a poster for master workshops in Venice and Rome this June, when and where — ironically — there won’t be a single blood orange worth eating.
It won’t matter. Field greens and wild strawberries will be flooding the markets. See you next January, blood oranges.
