Distractions


*If you've ever played Simcity, you'll remember Arcologies, the massive buildings in which a person could happily live their entire lives without ever leaving (why? I have no clue). Paolo Soleri's concept of a city within a city, buildings which could house everything essential for a fulfilling life, has been realized in Vienna. Four massive gas tanks in the Simmering District have been transformed into full-fledged communities. Check out Vienna's Gasometers.

*The Village Voice covers a play called Church, the call of a modern day "Jeremiah" to her hipster brothers and sisters. Young-Jean Lee is an atheist who questioned her parents Christian views and is now in turn, questioning the views of "her fellow unbelievers."

*Ladies, want to get away? China may have the perfect solution, a town in which women make the rules and men get punished for disobedience.
