A-Kamp47 is a collection of vertical shelters on the facade of a railway viaduct in Marseille designed by architect Stéphane Malka.
The 23 units, based on the design of pop-up tents, are strengthened by elastic mesh and contain isothermal blankets. The aim is to offer warmth and safety, refuge from vandalism (and police raids) as well as a sense of ambiguity regarding the difference between public and private space in a city where homelessness (and the increasing occupation of building entrances and other public space by the homeless) is on the rise.
In an ongoing effort to raise awareness of the health risks and cruelty caused by the harvesting of millions of cats and dogs for meat each year in China – including family pets snatched from the street – animal rights organisation AnimalsAsia posted over 270 ads in 14 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Shenzhen. Animals Asia explains:
The posters aim to inform the public of the health risks of eating dog and cat meat and to prompt people to re-evaluate why they’d eat animals they might otherwise consider friends not food.

Due to be completed in 2016, the partially underground complex – which will cost $5 billion – was once envisaged by the late Steve Jobs as “the best office building in the world.”
