This is a new acadamey school in Brixton designed by Zaha Hadid, the winner of the 2010 Stirling Prize and designer of the 2012 Olympics’ Acquatics Centre (the best venue at the games). SHe is certainly the most influential female architect ever and is arguably the most important architect in the world at the moment. This school is only her second public building in England (I think). It is a fascinating, jagged and unpredictable building that must be unlike any school in the world.

Destino is a short animated cartoon whose production originally began in 1945, 58 years before its completion in 2003. The project was a collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí (along with Disney studio artist John Hench), but they didn’t complete it. In 1999, a team of 25 animators deciphered Dalí and Hench’s cryptic storyboards (with a little help from the journals of Dalí’s wife), and finished Destino’s production. The end result includes Hench’s original footage (18s segment with the 2 tortoises), and it also contains some computer animation alongside traditional animation.
