Peres Projects mostly showcases young, emerging artists and is at the forefront of fusing art with fashion, celebrity and the love of a good party, which seems to work very well in Berlin. Having recently moved into an ex-Soviet building on Karl Marx Allee, the giant new space contrasts brilliantly with the commanding facade.

Based in the water is the biggest eyecatcher when you visit Groningen. Again, a great architectural building, but this one has a-symmetrical shapes. The Groninger Museum is not only a museum but also a restaurant and an innovative info centre.

The Shire Hall Gallery is in the central area of Stafford town and is an exhibition space, library and cafe rolled into one. Recent exhibitions have included paper-cutting artist, Rob Ryan.

Tenderly covered in snow is oskar kokoschka, the artist that gives name to the square from which you enter the university, it is not out of patriotisme or for promotion that I list this institution here, but for viennas art and creative scene this is a center in its own rights. You can come and visit one of the many different applied art classes, with a little self esteem use most of the facilities, drink a coffe that is cheap and surprisingly good in the mensa or get yourself the cheapest automat-can beer for 90 cents. There are various talks in english if you look for them and in summer there is a good chance you will find a barbecue party in the garden or a film screening. If none of this is the case, there is always a chance to meet people, find a gallery to go to at night, or a room to rent. the library and the magazine reading room are free and well equipped with a great selection of avantgarde cinema, that can be watched on computers.

Mainly, a design gallery.

The Ancient Agora of Athens was the central public space in the city of Athens during the Classical period of ancient Greece. It served as a place for citizens to gather for political, commercial, and social activities. The Agora was originally used as a marketplace, but over time it became a place for public gatherings, religious ceremonies, and political debates. It was also home to many important buildings and structures, such as the Stoa of Attalos, the Temple of Hephaestus, and the Bouleuterion (council chamber). The Agora was the birthplace of democracy in Athens, as it was the site of the popular assemblies where citizens could voice their opinions and vote on important issues. It was also where famous philosophers, such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, gave their lectures and debated with one another. Today, the Ancient Agora of Athens is a popular tourist attraction and an important archaeological site. Visitors can see the ruins of the ancient buildings and structures, and learn about the history of ancient Athens and Greek democracy.

You have a lot of hills to choose from in San Francisco but in my opinion the best (and most varied) views are from Bernal Hill. Bonus: from my kitchen table I can watch tiny blobs moving around on this hill-- slow blobs are people, fast blobs are dogs.

I couldn't decide which coffee shop to feature so here's the first, Store Street Espresso. It's right round the corner from work and a great place to chill out at lunch time and get that kick for the afternoon. Compared with the other independent coffee shops in the area (Wild & Wood/Lantana/Tapped & Packed) the interior's minimal and light which is great. Anyway coffee's really good and so is the food.

This was taken on my 35mm olympus film camera and is of my old room in the house I spent most of my teen years in, which at this time had been passed onto my little sister years after I had moved out. The light through the windows was always so beautiful.

I live above TriBeCa and take walks into and around this area often. It's quiet, usually on the emptier side, and hosts a few gems of restaurants including Tiny's, Takahachi, and Odeon - all on the same block of West Broadway.

The best place to read a book outside or inside one of the greenhouses and be surrounded by all of these different species of nature.

This roastery makes our studio’s favorite coffee. They also have a coffee shop not too far away.
