The tree of life chapel

The tree of Life chapel in Braga, Portugal, a beautiful building adorned in wood designed by architects António Jorge Cerejeira Fontes and André Cerejeira Fontes, with sculptural work by sculptor Asbjörn Andresen. Definitely an amazing place to worship.
See it on this cool site.

The Shard

The Shard in London will be the tallest building in Europe, a fantastic landmark  designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. To me it  seems like a huge crystal  from the Superman movie or something placed there by the god Zeus!
The entire building will be clad in glass and there will be a viewing gallery on the 72nd floor where the views over the London skyline will be magnificent no doubt.

The new EDP logo
I wasn't sure I liked the new EDP logo, but now after seeing it work in various locations like the Lisbon trams etc. I like it. It was designed by Sagmeister, it is very stimulating and stands out from the crowd. It works very well in the different permutations (animation), well done Stefan.

The new British Gas logo is a letdown

Is this a new logo or a restyling?, I don't think this is a sign of the future, but more of a sign of the past!, a missed opportunity to communicate something different.
