New York-based photographer Lucien Samaha (º1958, Beirut) was born to a father who wore an airline uniform. Consequently, for most of his childhood he would be flown from Beirut to Dhahran as an unaccompanied minor. He was totally coddled, fed, and entertained by the stewardesses who took personal care of him. “Flight Attendants epitomized international glamour and adventure to me.” As an adult he decided to follow his childhood dream and become a Flight Attendant.Samaha has been a photographer since high school and has obsessively documented his personal and professional life for over 40 years, producing a rich, highly autobiographical body of work, covering all aspects of daily life: training sessions, uniform fittings, in-flight fraternization, and layover breaks. These striking, intimate images will be exhibited with a variety of archival objects. The Polaroid snapshots, elegant candid portraits, and group photograph emphasize the spirit of adventure and conviviality integral to his surroundings.Lombard Freid Gallery, 518 West 19th Street, New York.Posted on May 23rd 2013, 04:00 PM

Comprehensive Building RenovationIn Japan, the lifetime of buildings is very short; they often get scrapped and rebuilt after 30 to 40 years. Recently, however, there are movements to enlarge the market for not only newly built, but also quality pre-owned condominiums, and to extend the lifetime of such residential buildings. Previously owned condominium residences have the following advantages: 1) Prices are less expensive, 2) Prices depreciate less than new construction, and 3) Conditions of...

Sou Fujimoto’s contribution for the 13th edition of the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is beginning to take shape, as the “geometric, cloud-like form” has slowly made its way towards the height of the trees in the rustic landscape of London’s Kensington Gardens. Upon its completion in June, the 350 square-meter latticed structure will fuse together the man-made and natural world, creating a lush, semi-transparent terrain that will host a series of flexible social spaces and a vibrant collection of plant life.
More images by London photographer Laurence Mackman after the break.
The temporary pavilion will be Sou’s first project in the UK. He is the third Japanese architect and, at 41, the youngest architect to accept the Serpentine Gallery’s invitation, following the star-studded...

While Amazon had already received City Hall approval to build a new HQ in Seattle, apparently they've had a change of heart with the design, perhaps inspired by the forthcoming Facebook West and the Apple Spaceship. The skyscraper part of Amazon's multi-building plan remains the same, but they're looking to switch up one of their low-rise structures for something a bit more eye-catching. Here's the previously-approved, now-scuttled building design:
