Architect
Frank Gehry
As I do some research to put this post together one word comes to mind about Frank Gehry – prolific. But of course the other word has has be whimsical. How unique is he! Most of the time one can readily recognize a Gehry building, but every once in a while he’ll thrown you and go into a completely different direction. Gehry is a Canadian born American architect residing in Lost Angeles. To get details of him you can look at the wikipedia page and he has a wikipedia page for his work.
In the video announcing a Master Class being offered online he says “You have to find your own voice – create the logic”
On this side of the pond he is probably best known for the Walt Disney Concert Hall – Los Angeles. On the other side of the pond dare I say the Guggenheim Bilbao. But off course there’s also the Dancing House in Prague. Back to this continent Patrick Dempsey lives the Davis Studio a Frank Gehry designed residence in Malibu. It was featured in Architectural Digest.
Molly’s favourite is the EMP Museum – Seattle cant tire of looking at that. Another Architectural Digest spread illustrates 28 of his most spectacular buildings.

Moodo – The Smart Home Fragrance Box
Well maybe!
My favourite scent is usually none. Fresh coffee is good! An apple pie of course! A vanilla candle perhaps. But a scent machine for your home. Humm! If it’s for personal use perhaps, or rather I should say go ahead. However, when it comes time to selling your home I would pack this little fellow away. The scent of pets, or cat litter can be off-putting but the scent of a scented candle or a scent machine immediately raises a flag “What are they trying to cover up”.
Well Designed 150 Square Feet
I don’t think Ottawa is down to the 150 square foot flat at this point but this fellow would like to demonstrate that it is possible. There’ll be no lavish dinners in his NYC apartment but because everything was chosen for the apartment in skale to its proportions it works. I’m not sure how I would feel living in such a space but hat’s off to him for making it work.
Ottawa – Chinatown
Fun video of Chinatown presented by Don Kwan co-owner of the Shanghai Restaurant. His parents started the restaurant on Somerset in 1971. Soon many more Chinesse restaurants and businesses appeared. Enjoy the tour!
Zero Waste Grocery Store
I have to say that sounds quite good considering the waste there can be in packaging. Valerie Leloup has decided to open a new style grocery store in Ottawa: Nu Grocery.
Canada Named 2nd Best Country in the World
Canada named 2nd best country in the world… again, report finds.
I think placing 2nd behind Switzerland is quite respectable. Click here for the complete list.

Colour of Courage
Sometimes through the darkness can come light. Light which can influence the creative process and render in three dimensions the emotions within.
“Yes. I thought of all my LGBTQ friends. I was put in front of a big tub of tiles. I picked colors to represent all the special people I know who are LGBTQ and the ones I don’t. I thought of how I understand oppression of my gay brother I lost. Of color that makes me happy and keeps me going and I made a tile representing all this. Took me 2 weeks. The black tiles represent the darkness where I had no hope and the red blood and pain I suffered but together we are all United. I love people. Amy Beth Allan”
