It's hard to believe that Andy Warhol has been dead for 21 years. His art is as pop as ever.
The Grand Palais in Paris has assembled the world's biggest ever exhibition of Warhol's portraits. Le Grand Monde d'Andy Warhol went on display Wednesday and continues until July 13th. [Guardian]

Oh those French. Even in a dire world economy the government has asked for proposals

from architects and urban planners to rework Paris. [NYT]

And then there is New Orleans and the city's new master plan and comprehensive zoning

ordinance. [Preservation Nation]

Flickr Collections for Architecture Buffs compiled by Graduate Degree Blog. [via Hello Beautiful!]

Ah, memories of winters past. Remembering those disgusting, pock-marked, dirty piles
of icy snow that never seemed to melt away, until beautiful glorious Spring. [NY Daily Photo]

Have you ever seen women make lace ? It's an amazing process to watch. Whipping around

wooden bobbins, attached to threads held in place with hundreds of pins, creating beautifully intricate designs. Unfortunately, it's a dying art. [Barcelona Photoblog]

Unintentional street art; the accidental artist; finding artistic expression in the unlikeliest

places. [Invisible Paris]
