WWSF is a new initiative aimed at providing a simultaneous, multi-locus of alternative spaces around the globe, and a digital platform for the expression and exchange of latent desires within contemporary art and architecture practices. A mode of action, its aim is to unveil, produce, and discuss experimental cultural works on a global scale, from local points of view. By using the ability of contemporary means of communication to join space, undo place and avoid time, it provides leadership in imagining future modes of cultural production. Currently sought are proposals from individuals or collectives across the globe with curatorial visions that articulate alternative positions within their particular context.From Designrulz

A narrow site does not necessarily mean space problems. If you accept the idea that the house can go up instead of extending out, then you have plenty of solutions to put in practice. Today, we want to show you several examples of smartly built layers of decks, balconies and rooftops that make the usual homes soar to their maximum potential. First of all, when decorating outdoor, pay attention to flooring. Wooden floors on porches benefit from a good coat of paint (and perhaps a couple of coats of polyurethane). Choose a color that’s compatible with the color of your house’s exterior walls — maybe a color that matches the existing shutters. Don’t put indoor upholstery on a porch because sun, rain, and dust will damage it. Instead, use wicker, teak, aluminum, wrought iron,...

Esquilino will warm your dwelling both literally and figuratively! The design is foremost a fireplace, but also features built-in storage and surface area that makes it an ideal coffee or console table. Its woodless flame is made visible on all sides thanks to a cantilevered table top. Finally, even small spaces can enjoy the cozy vibe of a fire!

Historical contextIn the second half of the 19th century Portugal saw the return of a large number of emigrants from Brazil. While returning to their northern roots, specially in the Douro and Minho regions, they brought with them sizable fortunes made in trade and industry, born of the economic boom and cultural melting pot of the 19th century Brazil. With them came a culture and cosmopolitanism that was quite unheard of in the Portugal of the eighteen-hundreds.
