Search ArticlesHow the reconstruction of Lisbon’s Baixa district became a model for modern urban planning
Monocle touches down in Lisbon early next month for our annual Quality of Life Conference. For some, the design of the Portuguese capital echoes saudade, a romantic form of longing for an absent person, place or time. To satiate this yearning, most visitors turn their attention to the yellow trams winding up the 16th-century cobbled streets but in doing so, they often miss a different vision of the city – one built on boldness, foresight and rationalism – in its downtown Baixa neighbourhood.
What are you doing next weekend? There’s still time to hop on a plane and join us in Lisbon
The forecast says 29C and not a cloud in the sky. Neither perfect weather nor the promise of a glass of wine sat under the shade of a jacaranda should really determine whether you attend a conference but, well, they kind of move the dial, don’t they? I hope that by now we have tapped you on the shoulder a couple of times to remind you that The Monocle Quality of Life Conference is imminent.
South Korean culture is going global again – this time for its contemporary art
South Korea’s soft-power ascendancy goes beyond catchy songs, skin-care routines and K-pop Demon Hunters: it also extends to its artistic exports. Multidisciplinary artist Suh Do-ho held a hit exhibition at London’s Tate Modern last year while Lee Bul’s mid-year retrospective arrives this November at the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp.

By downsizing its premises, is Bangkok’s Dutch embassy signalling its diminished ambitions?
Western European countries have some impressive embassies in Bangkok. The riverside compounds of France and Portugal, Thailand’s oldest diplomatic partners, rub shoulders with the capital’s ritziest luxury hotels and premium shopping centres. Dutch diplomats, however, have recently had a change of scenery.

Why travellers are choosing well-designed hotels over Airbnbs
Almost a decade ago, industry analysts were predicting the decline of the hotel. Decentralised and cheap peer-to-peer business models such as Airbnb were supposedly sounding a death knell. Initially, I must admit, it was a thrill to stay in somebody else’s home and go through their medicine cabinet (I wore the cologne of a man named Matt for the duration of a week-long stay on New York’s Upper West Side in 2013).
How Greenland is investing in its film industry to tell its own stories
In January the new Film Institute of Greenland was launched, while this September the Nuuk International Film Festival will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. The autonomous Arctic nation, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, is bolstering its cinematic credentials for good reason. It sees film as a tool to reclaim the story that’s being told about it globally.
Should we fear the Bolt-beating robots? For now, not really…
China’s technological development has long been perceived as an existential threat to the global order but perhaps Shenzhen’s spooks, America’s TV hawks and the ambassadors of Beijing’s diplomatic quarter have it all wrong. You might have read the headlines this week: “Humanoid robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100-metre record” or “Robot smashes human 400-metre record”. But have you seen the World Humanoid Robot Games?
Konfekt’s first book on hosting is out now – consider this your invitation to the table
I have long been intrigued by the rituals of hospitality. When I look back on the years that I spent on the road as a foreign correspondent, I remember warm welcomes more than any other encounters.
