"the well-known cuban-born photographer essentially turns a room into the interior of a camera. he blacks out the windows, leaving a pinhole opening in one of them. because of the nature of refracted light, the scene outside the window is projected upside down into the dim room. morell then captures the room on film with a large-format view camera; exposures can take eight hours or more."

restello apartment by piercy conner architects

2011-09-14T10:00:00.000-04:00

"the use of steel for this project was influenced by the high levels of humidity that the area experiences, which can cause structures made from less robust materials to deteriorate and decay quickly. steel’s imperviousness to moisture means that it will not shrink or swell, and exposed areas can be galvanised or treated to reduce corrosion. aimed at the growing market of high-income professionals, the apartments retain the aspirational qualities of light and space that steel and glass structures offer, while combatting the issues posed by the harsh sunlight, providing a comfortable and luxurious living environment.

Pivot and, if you are part of the growing ranks of older mothers with demanding jobs, juggle: work, home, sanity. And who better to demonstrate the nonstop circus of modern motherhood than Sarah Jessica Parker, former ballet dancer and stage performer, current producer and actress repositioning herself after the long-playing phenomenon of Sex and the City, ubiquitous New York fashion icon, and devoted mother of three?"
