A Mirrored Mexican House Disappearing into the Forest
Clad in mirrored glass, this forest retreat in Monterrey reflects the colors and vibrancy of its lush surroundings.
Designed by Mexico City-based architect Tatiana Bilbao, the intimate two-building complex, called Los Terrenos, consists of two volumes arranged around a curvilinear pool on a timbered hillside outside the city.
The larger, rectangular structure houses the home’s public spaces, with a striking ceramic lattice dividing the dining area from the sun-dappled living room. Opposite stands the second building, an L-shaped clay brick and rammed earth construction containing the sleeping quarters. Beds are raised on built-in wooden platforms, and both bedrooms are designed in a rustic minimalist style, communicating with the outdoor environment through retractable glass walls.

Nikolay Polissky Creates Towering, Handcrafted Structures Across Russia
Born in 1957 in Moscow, artist Nikolay Polissky creates impressive, handcrafted structures in the middle of Russia’s vast landscapes. Mostly carried out in the town of Nikola Lenivets – located 200 km from the Russian capital – his works are built entirely by the area’s residents, using local materials, such as branches, trunks and wooden tables. Traditional construction techniques are used as a starting point for the projects.
His work is inspiring not only because of its imposing form, but also because he managed to re-activate a semi-abandoned village through art and architecture, involving residents in the creative process and transforming the region into a sort of open cultural center. Since 2003, his work has been part of Archstoyanie, the largest Land-Art festival in Russia.

Steven Joseph Chapman is a San Francisco, California-based artist.
I survey the relationships people have with their own self-image within the overarching context of modern media. By using the same visual formatting found in cinematic compositions, Photoshop, Social network tagging, among various other visual tropes,I bare the conforming influence that pervades everyday life.
