Arch Daily Manresa City Hall / Add Bailo Rull



We have understood Manresa as the city that one day settled itself on a hill bordering the river Cardener, in front of Montserrat mountains. The City Hall building stands near the edge of the platform that, occupied by the historic quarter, juts out towards the river and faces Montserrat.

The main facade overlooks the central city plaza, and is the terminus of the main routes that cut through the historic centre. The back facade occupies the limit we are talking about, where the topography drops rapidly down towards the river.

Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2009 Sneakers



The other day we showed you the baseball jacket from the much hyped Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2009 line. Here we take a look now at the sneakers. The sneakers come in both leather, perforated leather and patent leather and all feature a neoprene sock liner and velcro closure. From minimalist beige and white to more extreme fluorescent colorways, the choice is wide. Via Men.Style.

Son Paints 60-Foot Phallus On Parent's Roof



Rory McInnes, 18, inspired by a television program he watched about Google Earth, climbed onto his parent's roof and painted a 60-foot phallus with a bucket of white paint. It took his parents over a year to discover the monster shlong, and now Rory "will have to scrub it off when he gets back from traveling". Haha, scrub it off. But seriously, who the hell paints a giant member ON THEIR OWN HOUSE? Sorry, but I'm chalking this one up as a penis painting fail, Rory. Better luck next dong.

Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase



I am really liking the color of the Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase. They do it right over there. The cam buckle on the strap and the zippered pocket on the flap are both smart touches. And the tapered/seated buckles are nicely done too.

New Girl Skateboard Designs, FUCKING DOPE!!!!!




New boards from Girl Skateboards in Wallride #17. The old school decks caught me off guard, I thought they were real for a second. Worthy of hanging on a wall somewhere, maybe your house?

cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection



The cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection has been released. The rather new Japanese brand has become known for fun and colorful collections. Their new line consists of t-shirts, hoodies, windrunner jackets and mesh caps. We especially like the windrunners and the mesh caps this season, which feature bold materials and color combinations.

The cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection is now available at Stless.

A Toilet on Skis



Wallpaper has been used for centuries to decorate rooms with graphic imagery, but in some Japanese ski resorts this idea has been taken to a whole new level. In order to promote Georgia Max Coffee, Tokyo advertising agency, Tugboat, has transformed toilet stalls into a virtual ski jumps. When someone takes a seat on the toilet they find themselves immersed inside the photomontage with wraps across the floor. Yet it isn't until you reach for the toilet paper that you find the advertising message, which declares that Georgia Max Coffee is a "super zinging taste-explosion". Whether this is an effective campaign remains to be seen. The invasion of product marketing into every space of our lives is troubling, but it's hard to deny intriguing quality of this work.
