The ubiquitous Havaianas summer sandal has touched down in Brazil with an amazing new storefront by Isay Weinfeld. The store has no front door, no window display– it is practically an open-air extension of the sidewalk. As pedestrians pass by, they are greeted with a small lounge at eye-level, peering over on a balcony into the Havaianas store below. Inside, the shop has lush green trees and scattered skylights that provide the scenery in which the colorful Havaianas are sold....

Living with anxiety feels like that moment when you see a speeding car headed straight at you — only that moment lasts for what feels like an eternity....

I could list 100 reasons why we procrastinate, and they might be simply fascinating to study and dissect. But if we really want to stop procrastinating, we need to explore how to stop it rather than why we do it....

The Iseami House by Robles Arquitectos is a work of science as much as it is an achievement of design. This home rests on a hill above the ocean on the Peninsula de Osa in Costa Rica, a location with 5% of the world’s biodiversity– yet 20km away from the nearest town. To build such a home, Robles Arquitectos were tasked with designing a fully grid-free, self-sustainable structure that could manage the demands of this hot, humid environment....
