      Happy 2012.
      I figured it would be appropriate to look at some entrys as we walk in to 012.Japanese Architect Japanese Architect Noi Shigemasahttp://www.noi-shigemasa.com/works/cat2/index.html Shimuraya Bar Tokyo. Screen shot 2012-01-02 at 8.00.42 AM.png
      The building is Energyforum in Berlin, but I couldn't find the Architects name, so if anybody knows please chime in.Screen shot 2012-01-02 at 8.11.13 AM.png

        Deciding to continue on with the entrance theme, I revisited the website of Shigemasa Noi (featured above http://www.noi-shigemasa.com/works/cat3/index.html
        I was so impressed by how he was able to evoke a sense of curiosity, perhaps even mystery, in the entry's to some of his projects.
        His website is quite tasteful, and what is even more intriguing is the spaces to which the entries lead.

            Hey Simon
            I agree with dozer, great knives. Thanks. Do you remember the source for these?

            Sure dear Dale: sources are linked to the pictures 😉


            The following Armani Fifth Ave. / Massimiliano & Doriana Fuksas Stairs would be a very nice modeling exercise to offer in challenge to all users, as all necessary plans, elevations and photos of this complex organic architectural element are present in the link 😉 👍 👍

              An interesting solution to a perennial problem... access for all. It's fine design imho.
              With one caveat: The disability vechicle ramp seems flawless, but what about the poor bugger who doesn't notice the step UP on the way down!
              I wanted to understand how it actually worked, so I built it in SU. At least the first couple of levels. Then it got too hard to resolve at the top, but the principle is there if anyone wants it. (or to solve it? I have the risers at 145mm and the going at 330mm but getting the levels right has been beyond me).
              Baz

              Happy new year, peace on earth and goodwill to all things.

                I would ask how you do that, but that would admit that I don't know how 😄 (which I don't, so ... How did you do that?)
                Also introduced me to Guy Laramee through your "Great Wall" posting, from opera to installations, this is one interesting fellow.
                And the Armani stairs are eye candy. Thanks for that.

                  I have been following the work of Snohetta for a while, and this is in keeping with the great work these Norwegians do. The combination of the rough rustic material in the modern form and format provides such a nice static/dynamic contrast. Great post.

                    This is the work of one of Canada's greatest Architects Arthur Erickson. I posted his UBC, Museum of Anthropology, I believe somewhere earlier in this Thread. He passed away in 2009, but left an amazing body of work.
                    Here is a link to his website.http://www.arthurerickson.com (and a teaser)Screen shot 2012-01-04 at 6.57.57 AM.png
                    I have walked that ramp, without paying attention to it. I assure you, that will change the next time I do. Thx.

                        😄 In fact it's very simple,, but alas don't work with our Upload attachment manager! ( In case you will have to register to a free service like Photobucket to link your pictures)
                        Very often you can right clic on a picture and choose to open it on another tab or just copy the link

                        You just have to attach a the url to your picture like this.

                        [url=http://www.xyz.com][img]xyz.jpg[/img][/url]

                              I'm sure it started out straight, but after a little 3.0 tremor. . . look what ya got! 💚

                                    Nice, Bob.

                                    It reminds me of the Milwaukee Art Museum, which also definitely belongs in this thread 👍 The architect, Santiago Calatrava, designed the 'wings' to actually move. They open in the morning(weather permitting), 'flap' once at noon, and close in the evening.

                                      I just wanted to comment on those Clark photos posted by simon le bon. Man, those are amazing, and shows real dedication. I could imagine the bruises suffered in the getting.

                                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                        I just wanted to comment on those Clark photos posted by simon le bon. Man, those are amazing, and shows real dedication. I could imagine the bruises suffered in the getting.

                                            This reminds me of a fellow from Ghana, Kane Kwei. I ran across him some time ago. (Thanks for the memory). I love his naive style. http://ghanacoffin.com/Screen shot 2012-01-31 at 6.09.23 AM.png
