Links We Love: Fathom HQ's Top Picks for August 6, 2016

What we're clicking on this week at Fathom HQ.

I'm scared of heights so, naturally, I seek out opportunities to put myself in places where I have to face my fear. Like this 100-meter-long glass skywalk that just opened in China. Just looking at the pictures fills me with a mix of excitement, anxiety, and a mild case of nausea! – Xenia, editorial intern

When in Mexico City, touring the home of Mexican architect Barragán is a must (read about it on Fathom). But first, read this scintillating story about an artist who turned Barragán's cremated remains into a diamond in order to propose to the woman who has been keeping his archives in a private vault for years. Yup, just like a real-life telenovela. – Jeralyn, editorial director

The modern-day Roman pantry is made up of some of the world's most widely recognized ingredients, so isn't it funny that we know close to nothing about what the ancient Romans used to cook with? According to Vox, the empire had a love affair with garum, a salty sauce made from fermented fish guts. Here's how to make it. – Daniel, editorial assistant

Exciting to read how Barcelona is reclaiming their city streets from cars to create more public space for their people. – Becky, assistant editor

This week I was blown away by the incredible views of New York City from the roof deck at The William Vale, a new hotel opening in Williamsburg later this month. Chef Andrew Carmellini is doing the food, Brooklyn-based artist Marela Zacarias created the stunning art piece in the lobby, and there's a gorgeous new pool. – Berit, editor

Le Corbusier should be dancing in his grave: Seventeen of the architect's most cherished works have just been listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Such 20th-century masterpieces include Tokyo's National Museum of Western Art and the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, the first planned city in India. What better time for a pilgrimage? – Daniel

Patrick Commecy is transforming blank walls around a small town in Loire Valley, France with the most realistic murals I've ever seen. – Becky
