Architecture. The structure. The (negative) space. The sculptor—and the sculpture. The ARC. The ART. The AIR. EITHER—and altogether.
The engineering—and the elements. Even the word itself is a creative playground: twelve fragments, twelve letters we can convert in a RICH lexicon “hidden” in plain sight, within THE term.
Let’s spend a week in Italy, where today’s story stars come from, and let's play—while contemplating some of the most captivating high-heel creations out there. Scroll on and CATCH the capital-letter clues, or CURATE your own list.
