China, always surprising: What bizarre structures is China building in the desert?

This picture has been taken from satellite by Google Maps and is now circulating worldwide. Everybody is asking what, for God`s sake, is China building in the Gobi desert?

The world`s biggest QR code, as journalists from The Telegraph say? A structure built to support China`s military, space or nuclear programmes?

One thing is sure: the word "megastructures" was invented for China.

Walking cartoons!

It`s Lolita, this teenage Japanese fashion style that rewinds the Victorian-style girl's clothing with the Japanese cartoons I used to watch on TV that dazzled me on the streets of Istanbul or Paris this year. I saw the Lolitas shopping on the Champs Elysees, at the subway, at the Disney stores and at the discos.

   


It`s the so - much - color they bring on the streets, the so - much - joy they spread from the groups they share, the so-outer - world they seem to have descended from..:)   

Descending from 1001 nights, Arab Sheikha Lubna

A legend of the Arab world, too little known in the West, Sheikha Lubna bint Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, a descendant of the ruling family of the Sharjah is the Emirates` Minister of Foreign Affairs and the first woman - minister in the UAE. 


An Arab symbol of wisdom, tough lady with the eyes of a mother and specialist in e-commerce and computer science.  

La Prairie /Silver Rain

For it`s futuristic look, for it`s magnetic, for it reminds me of my first ski adventures. I recommend!

The so-so fresh French Melanie Laurent

Melanie is actress, director, singer and writer. Boyish, childish, so delicate-French is how I loved her in 2009 Quentin Tarantino`s Inglorious Bastards and in Le Concert by Romanian director Radu Mihaileanu.  

Amazing gipsy flashmob. Bucharest

Zaha Hadid`s Parametricism in Paris

Rather minimal than the flamboyant extrusive Zaha`s parametric architecture, the exhibition that centered the Institute du Monde Arabe`s mobile art site in the month of October was a back-to-structure experience.

Post -modern in the city of La Madeleine, clear and simple, obsolete in an alienated world and fierceful-outrageous is how I found it.
