Corinth / Museum

The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth is located within the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth and is dedicated to displaying the numerous findings from the surrounding excavations. It is a small but rich museum, established in 1931 to host the findings of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and it is housed in a modern building that was renovated in 2004. The museum's collection includes exhibits that showcase the rich cultural heritage of Ancient Corinth from prehistoric times to the Roman era. It features a wide range of artifacts, including pottery, sculptures, coins, jewelry, and other objects that provide insight into the daily life, religious practices, and artistic achievements of ancient Greece. Some of the most notable exhibits in the museum include the terracotta figurines from the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, which depict the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone, and the impressive statues of Roman emperors and members of the imperial family. The museum also houses multimedia exhibits and interactive displays that help visitors gain a deeper understanding of the artifacts and their historical context. Overall, the Museum of Ancient Corinth is an important cultural attraction that provides visitors with a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Ancient Corinth.

London / River

The Thames is not traditionally the prettiest river but it has its moments. Here it is turning pink in a sunset this summer. Its the reason the city is here and I like how in moments of real importance it rises to the occasion. For the golden Jubilee the queen floated down it with hundreds of boats, it was an amazing sight, like vikings setting out for battle. Good river spots - North Bank Savoy Gardens, Royal Festival Hall.

Valencia / Club

The Latex Club could be considered, in a good way, as the dark version of its neighbor Picadilly. Entering this club is like tele transport yourself into the Tron movie universe, where darkness and luminescent circuits surround you to the rhythm of techno and industrial music sessions. I recommend this club especially for the lovers of good electronic music, due to its resemblance with Berlin club nightlife. Every Friday Latex transforms into Club Gordo. It’s the same space but it hosts different sessions that they define as “Advanced music, techno and dark house. Nothing fresh. Nothing commercial”. The interesting thing about this party is it’s DJ's secret lineup and their warning: “No photos. No videos. Yes to anything else”

Helsinki / Museum

Another lovely outdoor recreation is Seurasaari Island. I enjoy walking around the island, but The Open-Air Museum of Seurasaari also displays the traditional Finnish way of life. You can't help running into some badass squirrels and mellow swans. The photo is taken in January.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Authentic southern Italian thin-crust pizzas. My favorite is the scrumptious Santo Stefano.

Berlin / Restaurant

It is a fine dessert dining. Unique full-on experience with dessert (no industrial sugar is used) course menu and pairing drinks. No wonder they have got a Michelin star!

Gijón / Cafe

Vegan-friendly cafe

New York / Architecture

Grand Central is big and beautiful and it also periodically hosts free cultural events - poets at typewriters custom-composing poems on demand - or Alvin Ailey dancers performing in Artist, Nick Cave's horse suits!

London / Restaurant

Guinness bread!

London / Shop

By far the best bagels in London, they are open 24 hours and being just down the road from my flat a bit too local. It is run by a man called Mr Sammy, who doesn't muck about with portion size. It is well worth a visit especially for their smoked salmon and cream cheese speciality.

Carrboro / Cafe

One of my favorite aspects of living today instead of ten years ago is the feeling of all kinds of diverse people creatively contributing to the culture. And this huge independent coffee house embodies this scene. It's usually crowed with creative class types and grad students working away. There's often people from other countries in the midst of skype conversations into their computer screens. And the music completely changes depending on what band the barista is in.

Vienna / Park

One of the biggest parks in the inner city. When I was small, everyone would tell me never to go there, for it was considered the drugs-park of vienna. growing up I realised that it was mere exageration and this beautiful park became my favourite. there is the vienna river running right next to it, for sure it is not the cleanest, but for me it gives an amazing element of urbanity to the whole area. The river is loosing itself in a dark viaduct-like opening, and saga has it that in this tunnels at other times rave partys would take place. the park itself is beautiful, sourrounded by the city, with the fabulously hideous hotel intercontinental building, and the marble statues leading along the river, that changes it size seemingly daily, according to the weather, next to it you find one of vienna’s most beautiful cinemas, the gartenbaukino, as well as nice cafes, my favorite being the “das kleine cafe”. a wonderful experience is limited to summertime and made me often take the long way round when returning late night: you will find yourself in the middle of all kinds of animals lively running about, 5 hedgehogs, 7 rats, 12 ducks, one badger, mice and a heron. I love to find them there crossing the park.

Adrian Westaway Co-founder & Director of Technology and Magic at Special Projects Adrian is an inventor, engineer and experience designer on a mission to make the human-technology interaction meaningful and delightful. As co-founder of Special Projects he harnesses technology, inclusive research and magic thinking to devise design propositions that feel familiar yet wondrous. A self-taught magician since the age of 11 and full member of the Magic Circle, he relentlessly pursues his conviction that “designers should use magic thinking and try to introduce surprise, delight and fuzzy feeling in the things they create.” After becoming the first ever James Dyson Fellow in 2007, and a Fellow of the Royal Commission of 1851, in 2010, for his work on interactive lighting systems, Adrian built a playground in Peru, had whisky with Derren Brown as a student in Bristol, and tried to make his teachers disappear. His contagious passion for magic and engineering made him a beloved tutor and lecturer in Design & Innovation at Queen Mary University and the Royal College of Art, in London and a visiting faculty member at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. There he teaches ‘Magic and Design’, a nomadic workshop where students are introduced to methods of using design and technology to create enchanted products and experiences.
