Shots from the Sky
While studying architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, Alex MacLean took a course on community planning that would ultimately change the course of his destiny. As part of the program, he became exposed to aerial photography and a few years after he graduated, he obtained his commercial pilot license. Shooting through an airplane window, MacLean found mesmerizing patterns, bringing to light order and chaos in ways we could only imagine.
More than anything, MacLean’s photos record change that’s not just brought on by nature but, more interestingly, by human intervention. Houses, airplanes and people appear miniature in size and parking lots feel cold and empty or uncomfortably cramped.
Minibar for the Mind
Minibar for the Mind is a new collaboration between The School of Life and Morgans Hotel Group, that aims to provide guests with a more meaningful and unique hotel experience. The mini bar itself is a custom-made box offering guests a “mid night feast of intellect, inspiration and ideas”, including conversation starter cards, a compilation of The School of Life’s writings, a writer’s block pencil set and more. If you’re interested in checking it out in person, the kit is available at select Morgans properties as well as via their website.
