COMPILED BY VISI
From an imaginative daycare in Japan and fish farms as seen from above to local surf-wear making it big overseas and leather crossbody bags, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 191.
1. Emmanuelle Moureaux’s Kindergarten Project
“French architect Emmanuelle Moureaux has used colour to divide space in a Japanese kindergarten (a practice she calls ‘shikiri’),” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “While I especially love the facade, which is made up of 63 trees in 22 colours, the interiors are just as striking.”

2. Fish Farms From Above By Bernhard Lang
“These aerial snaps of fish farms, taken by photographer Bernhard Lang, look a lot like the inside of a microscopic cell, ” says Features Writer Amelia Brown. “These aquatic eco-systems in Greece are perhaps a hint of what the future of fish farming will be like.”
