Architects are being urged to help fight the obesity epidemic in the UK. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment is this year promoting measures to improve community mobility around our cities, suburbs, shopping centres and office blocks – so often mere monuments to inactivity and over-consumption. "Far too much housing is built on a cul-de-sac format with a huge great wall around it and one entrance in and out," says Tim Townshend, a Newcastle academic. "It's for motor traffic, with high-speed distributor roads around the edge of the compound.
Usually these places have no local shops or facilities … Children play indoors or they're taken by car to friends' homes, where they play indoors.” Meanwhile, London’s inner-city boroughs are replacing former mining towns as Britain’s sickest areas, according to a report by market intelligence firm CACI. “The serious illness focused on within the report are, to a large extent, caused by lifestyle choices,” claimed Ian Thurman, the firm’s location analysis chief.

Patrick Gysemberg pleases the Belgian Queen with a portrait in blue. The blue action painting portrait, the first one ever created, as it is a combination of action painting and realism (portrait), is now in possession of her Royal Majesty Queen Paola of Belgium.
The artist Patrick Gysemberg had made the painting as one of a series of local celebrities he used on an art action together with the stores of a Belgian city, to promote commercial activities in September 2006. As this event has concluded and several painting were sold, the action painter remained with a collection of about 60 paintings of local and international celebrities
The Saint Louis Art Museum announces the opening of 'Joe Carioca', the ninth installation in the Museum's New Media Series. In this witty and absurd, yet poignant animated film, noted Brazilian artist Rivane Neuenschwander explores intersections between cultures and the ways our hopes and dreams take material form.
'Joe Carioca' was influenced by a student workshop the artist conducted in association with her first Saint Louis Art Museum exhibition 'Currents 93: Rivane Neuenschwander'. During the workshop, Neuenschwander described Joe Carioca, a cartoon character created by Walt Disney Studios in 1942 to represent her home country in American movies, newspaper comic strips and comic books, and encouraged the students to create a character that would represent Brazil today
