not to be taken internally
Here is a small sample of external design. I hope you enjoy
New York interchange between the 5 and 110 freeways.
What a rat’s nest. Half of the time, I can’t maintain which roads are one way and which ones do not allow right hand turns in Toronto.
Remind me never to drive in New York.
Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect educated at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris was the designer of the Biltmore Estates. He designed the house in the Chateau style for George Washington Vanderbilt II, who spent much of his family’s fortune on the project.
In 1833 Robert Mills won the design competition sponsored by the Washington National Monument Society. His 555-foot-tall obelisk, a mixture of Greek, Babylonian, and Egyptian styles, took nearly 40 years to complete as construction was interrupted by cash shortfalls and the Civil War.
Bradford Metropolitan District Council was commisioned to build this watergarden. It is absolutely stunning with the perfect edges, and the symmetry. Aside from the walkways, the greenery in the courtyard are maintained to perfection.
I was in Ithaca, New York a number of years ago, and they had this sculpture in the campus courtyard of Ithaca College.
At first look, it doesnt seem to be anything specific, but upon closer inspection, you will see it is actually a fish. The fins, tail and eyes are quite apparent, once you know what it is.
It was a neat sculpture then, when I was viewing it strictly as a piece of art, and not from the eyes of a designer.
There is a new experiment going on, by the students of University of Edinburg. The Division of Infomatics have been experimenting with ‘Invisible Art.’
If you look at a building, you see nothing out of the ordinary, but if you take a photo with a cellphone, and email the photo to a server, it is put though “powerful image-matching algorithms.” These tests decide the characteristics of the building and then send back the photo with the digital content added to it.
This is also being called Geekriti
