RMB City

RMB City is a planned project by Beijing-based artist Cao Fei, involving the creation of a virtual city and art platform in the online 3D world of SecondLife, in which interactive art exhibitions and events will be held over a two year period.

RMB City attempts to mimic the structures of real-world real estate and urban planning, from the “RMB City Planning” stage (where preview videos and promotional materials were displayed in “leasing offices and showrooms” at Art Basel Miami and Lombard-Fried Projects) to the involvement of investors and institutions to purchase usage of the city buildings.

Walkway in Kew Garden

The newest development in Kew Garden is the Rhizotron and Xstrata Tree Top Walkway, an ethereal "bridge" that lets you meander, literally, through the tree tops. It is 59 feet high and a winding 220 yards long and floats over fifty mature trees, butterfly sanctuaries and around random birds such as tawny owls, woodpeckers, kestrels and parakeets (we saw a green one). Not to mention mosses and lichen, insects and bats at dusk.

Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, creators of the London Eye, it was a delicate construction job.
