FALL PRINTSHOP REFRESH — We just added this Overview of Perth, Australia, to our printshop along with many others! Head to dailyoverview.com/printshop to see what’s available and use the discount code “FALL20” for 20% off any order this month. . The beaches in Perth are world-famous for their beautiful white sand and clear blue water. When seen from above, you also discover the currents and swirls that are created here when the waves hit offshore reefs. While the patterns in the water may be beautiful, they also create powerful undertows that can be dangerous for surfers and swimmers.

The Cascade

A park that acts as a staircase or a staircase that acts as a park?

The Cascade is the manifestation of Hong Kong’s malleable relationship with its existing physical terrain. Its creators, Edge Design Institute, describe The Cascade as “an artificial landscape that responds to the unique topography of the site: a cascade of steps that creates a public thoroughfare and generates potentials for a delicately- scaled public space that have often been overlooked.”
