"Civility and polity were designed into Eden-Olympia, in the same way that mathematics, aesthetics and an entire geopolitical world-view were designed into the Parthenon and the Boeing 747."

Thatcher’s handbag
Belonging to a woman in a man’s world there was intense curiosity and speculation at the contents of the Thatcher handbag. World leaders, including President Gorbachev and US Secretary of State George Shultz, joked at the (supposed) contents of the bag. Margaret Thatcher aggressively represented Britain’s views at international summits in the 1980s. Some suggested that under her Britain had moved from “gunboat diplomacy” to “handbag diplomacy”. In July 1990 in an interview for Channel Four news, Margaret Thatcher revealed that anything she wanted to keep quiet was usually kept in her handbag, the safest place – the only leak-proof place – in Number 10.

Tea House, by H3T Architekti
“We have built a teahouse on the top of an old and unused steel lighting mast above the freight section of Praha Libeň train station. It is a simple structure that won’t stay on the spot for very long. The wooden construction is wire mounted on the top platform of the mast. We have used wood from demolished winter stadium at Štvanice.”

When peace is established a great variety of new products for the housewife will be forthcoming. One of these will be a new refrigerator. Possibly this model will have a transparent door—also push button revolving shelves.

Simplification is the order of the day. A telephone to which you listen and into which you talk, without having to hold a transmitter, is a future possibility.
