| | And the walls came
tumbling down, again |  JANET W Foster, a Columbia
University architectural historian,
has done a little design work
herself.
Consider Foster´s Drape-Drawstring
Roof, circa 1992. Its signature architectural
feature involved tying the drawstring
from her drapes to the corner of a
blanket. Then she laid the blanket over
the edges of walls made of pillows, creating
the roof of a pillow fort designed
for her two young sons.
"When you pull the cord, the blanket
door rises," Foster explained. "When it
was up, we played ´day.´ When it was

Shaukeen remake |  CASHING in on the new trend of powerful women
characters in films, two leading ladies from two different
genres and vastly different bodies of work,
have been signed on to play two special roles in two
different projects.
While Madhuri Dixit will be seen as the leader of a gang - a
Godmother prototype in Gulab Gang, Bipasha Basu will
be seen as the charming seductress in Rohit Roy´s
remake of Basu Chatterjee´s 1982 blockbuster
Shaukeen.
Gulab Gang, conceptualised by Soumik Sen and
Anubhav Sinha had been in the offing for a while
now. The story about a gang of women fighting
social injustice in the heartland of India, will
mark the directorial ... | |
