Japanese Apartments

Shape of the Week honors to this crazy apartment in Japan. By making the structure physically challenging to navigate, the architects hope to keep people young and active longer. The philosophy that "comfort makes you grow old quick" is an interesting challenge for anyone's life and especially vital in the creative arts.

Boris Diaw

Ever heard of him? Can you identify him? (Hint: He's not the guy featured in the middle of the ads.) Statistically, he's one of the NBA's Best Centers. And he's French. And he looks good in a De Fursac suit. And in Paris, he looks good in ads at every Metro station, bus stop and outdoor billboard. And in Phoenix, he's a triple-double threat every night.
