"I'd like to go somewhere, but I don't have the cash!" "Yes, sow it, there is someone dear everywhere!" An example of probably quite common dialogue between students or even younger people. We all want to travel, especially when we are young, when our lives are not yet full of responsibilities. But that's when we have the least cash available. But don't let that stop you.
Sag's Wien (Tell, Vienna) is an interesting mobile application for the residents of Vienna, which allows them to inform the competent authorities with a few clicks where they see problems in the city in terms of garbage or dirt, poor condition of the road, poorly secured pedestrian crossings... The application is not just a repository for suggestions, because through it the citizens find out when the city authorities have tackled the inconvenience or eliminated it.
Every artist is looking for their own style, and illustrator Scott Uminga found it in layering. Its geometric style is actually an illustrated derivation of Fong Qi Wei's unique photographs, showing all the nuances of the day in one photograph.
Many artists do not 'trust' classic art materials such as paint, stone, clay, wood, etc. Ian Berry is one of those. He discovered a very special niche. Instead of paint, he uses jeans or pieces of it.
In the eyes of most people, street art is inferior and despised. The authorities do not approve of her, nor do the people view her in an overly positive light. Most of them are associated with abandoned, poor and decaying parts of the city. But after viewing these photos, you will certainly change your view of street art, which has been brought into disrepute mainly by 'smearers'. These graffiti brought these previously boring locations to life and breathed life into the city.
What are the best places to live in 2016? The Economist magazine has revealed a fresh list of cities where life is the best in the world. The ranking of 140 cities was prepared by its research and analytical department, but unfortunately there are no Slovenian cities among them, which is why the city that is only a stone's throw away from Slovenia is at the very top. There were no changes at the very top. The title of the best place to live in the world went to the Australian city for the sixth time in a row.
The world has evolved incredibly fast in the last 100 years, so it's almost hard to imagine how some things have changed in that time. Some cities have been "under the knife" countless times in recent decades and have become unrecognizable from the past. The most beautiful example is Dubai, which was more than a desert a decade and a half ago, but today it is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, where machines hum 24 hours a day and where the cityscape changes practically every day. But Dubai is far from an isolated case.
Cities can increasingly be seen as brands, at least those that attract tourists. Just as at the level of products and services, the battle for "customers" that cities invite into their bosoms is also taking place at the level of cities. A logo that visually represents a company/organization is one of the most important factors in creating recognition. Graphic designer Raluuca Popescu imagined what city logos would be like if they were seen as brands.
In Australia, some literally live down there ("Down Under" is Australia's nickname). Namely, the mining town of Coober Pedy is a town with more than 3,500 inhabitants gathered from all over the world (from more than 45 countries), located in South Australia. It is an unprecedented city that has been supplying the world with opals since 1915, and the mining town also relies on tourism.

Skyscrapers and other tall buildings have become the main symbols of modern cities. This also applies to New York, which is one of the most visited destinations in the world with the greatest architectural attractions in the world. Vasily Klyukin, however, went a step further in the design and imagined a slightly modified and even bolder image of Manhattan. Namely, he added a woman's leg in high heels to the fictional high-rise building "Top Sexy Tower", which looks out from the normally designed building, like Angelina Jolie's bare leg from the Versace dress at the Oscars in 2013.
The urban tree house 25 Verde, which is protected from city noise and pollution by 150 trees, allows our childhood dreams to come true with its innovative design. Who didn't want their own tree house as a child?
