Sentieri Urbani (city paths) is a project that"rethinks"pedestrian crossings, so that the crosswalk is marked by decorations providing new forms of visual interest to those people who live the city at a slower speed...

Stendipanni/ clothes-horses, Tende/curtains
a group of social housing blocks has been chosen for rehabilitation and renovation scheme that includes enclosing balconies to create bioclimatic conservatories. This mean that the inhabitants will have to hang their washing to dry inside the apartment themselves, using clothes-horses that take up as little room as possible and at a very low cost.
Alessi, one of Italian design's longest-established and most prestigious firms, will manufacture the clothes-horses that architect Piero Lissoni has designed for the inhabitants of Via Parenzo.
there are 2 versions: a clothes-horse that fits on the wall with a pull-out hanging frame of coloured wires, and another designed to clip onto window-frames in the newly created conservatories.

IdN volume 15 number 3, 2008。pg.072--076。
IdN: Is it fair to say that your photos are predominantly documentary? you studied law-did that have any influence on your political and photographic activities?
LM: well, i take all kind of pictures:magazine work, portraits, and assignment i am given. Recently i had an assignment for the New York Times to shoot a fashion museum in Santiago. The Chicago Tribune sent me to cover several vineyards...but yes, I'm at my best when i do documentary stuff. My 5 years of studying gave me some discipline and perseverance, which i have used during my photographic reportage. But I'm not interested in politics at all. i prefer to see situations from a social point of view. I don't believe that pictures of dead children can stop a war. I have taken some horrible pictures myself rather than for any other reason. Photographers who say that they can change the world by taking disturbing pictures are lying.

谢谢来信。
...恰逢几天前,我看了一段的叙事经文的解经,有关约柜被运回耶路撒冷的情形,牛绊倒失足时,乌撒伸手去扶稳约柜。(撒下六)
『我们猜想乌撒的举动,其实不是一时不自主的动作。这动作表现出乌撒想着用自己的方法管理约柜。摩西的传统清楚地说明如何管理约柜。它不应该被人用手去触摸,必须由利未人用柱子穿入约柜的环上。乌撒忽视,甚至藐视摩西的指示,而用非利士人的工业新发明牛车(撒上六章)。我们不可否认用一个设计完美的牛车来搬运约柜,确是比利未人慢步省力的抬行约柜来得经济有效。但这方法是无个人性的,神圣的人被一个效力高超的牛车代替了,有人欣然接受新工艺,而完全不顾到神圣的本性。...………。
我们找到了上帝,改变了生活方式,我们悔改相信跟从上帝。我们重新安排我们的环境和事务,使重点放在对我们有意义,及希望得到信仰上奇妙的敬拜,和在各种事工上我们愿意事奉负责。我们逐渐成长,开始不知不觉的教导别人应该做什么和怎样去做。这一切本都是好的,对的。但我们超过我们的本分,我们自以为是上帝的代表,变得擅自作主,任性。起先我们是在上帝里面找寻正当合适的生活方式。我们自以为重要,只因为我们站在最重要的那一位旁边。
宗教是这类事的温床,管理上帝家中事的人,努力事奉,成为领导人物。时间久了,那些最基本的道理,遵从和敬畏的成分,慈爱和信心的精神,都被腐蚀而枯萎了。最后是什么都没有了......。』
当我开始模糊的时候,乌撒的故事就呈现眼前。我想,它就是一个警戒...什么才是讨神的喜悦...…。再次让我谨慎提步,向前走。

Day 6
while we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
原来我们不是顾念所见的, 乃是顾念所不见的。 因为所见的是暂时的,所不见的是永远的。
鱼不会喜欢住在陆地上,因为它是为水中生活而被造的。你若不许鹰展翅飞翔,它必然无法满足。
鱼缸与鸟笼都不是流连的归宿。
人生是暂时性的任务。虚浮与不能满足好像也算是必然的事实。

day 4
...looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God。 (Hebrews 11:10)
All these people were still living by faith when they died。 They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance。 And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth。
People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own。
If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return。
Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one。Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them 。(Hebrews 11:13-16)
亚伯拉罕因着信,蒙召的时候,就遵命出去,往将来要得为业的地方去。出去的时候,还不知往那里去。
他因着信,就在所应许之地作客,好像在异地居住帐棚,与那同蒙一个应许的以撒,雅各一样。
因为他等候那座有根基的城,就是神所经营所建造的。(希伯来书11:8-10)
这些人都是存着信心死的,并没有得着所应许的,却从远处望见,且欢喜迎接,又承认自己在世上是客旅,是寄居的。
说这样话的人,是表明自己要找一个家乡。
他们若想念所离开的家乡,还有可以回去的机会。
他们却羡慕一个更美的家乡,就是在天上的。所以神被称为他们的神,并不以为耻。因为他已经给他们豫备了一座城。(希伯来书11:14-16)

Day 2
I have called you by name...。(Isaiah 43:1)
for you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb。
i praise you, for i am fearfully and wonderfully made。
wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well。
my frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth。
your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,when as yet there was none of them。(psalm139:13--16)

Day 1
…all things were created through him and for him.
and he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
and he is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn of the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
for in him the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.
and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in haven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
你不能以自我出发去寻找生命的目的。
