So goes a motto of the Cistercian monks which has been handed-down over time.
And it would be very difficult to better describe the things which await our visitors here in the Eberbach Monastery:
A venerable old abbey, the gates of which are wide open for our guests and friends throughout the year. An atmosphere emanating from spiritual thinking, history, art and beauty, which most certainly will touch the hearts of all visitors to this historical location.
The Eberbach Monastery lies at the heart of the Rheingau, which Heinrich von Kleist once described as the Wine Garden created "con amore" by the Good Lord.
And as one would expect from a Cistercian settlement, the Monastery is tucked away in a secluded, picturesque valley, far away from the loud traffic routes and the hectic lifestyle of bustling residential areas. Completely enclosed on all sides by forests and vineyards.

Added a custom built display stand to my Fallingwater piece at the request of the client. I designed it so that the pumps, water reservoir and plumbing are all contained within the stand. I am thrilled with the way it came out and really pleased with how it showcases the actual piece. I'll likely be making more of these stands!
駅には今日もあらゆる人が行き交い、さまざまな人のさまざまな感情がめまぐるしく対流している。
初めて訪れる人の高揚感、車窓の風景に感じるノスタルジー、帰りがけの満足感と淋しさ、旅立つ人の哀愁、通勤通学の疲労と非日常への期待、好きな人に会うワクワク感。
そんな感情を透かした先には、那珂湊の鮮やかな光景が見えてくる。対峙した瞬間鮮明に脳裏に焼き付いたはずの光景は、どうしても時間とともに解像度が低下していく。やがて光と色の集合となってぼんやりと脳裏に漂う。
もう一度すくいとりたいけど、たどりつかないもどかしさ。人間の記憶の曖昧さ。このまちと「対峙したあと」に残る記憶は、忘却の時間に抗うように光と色を撒き散らしながら揺らめいている。

Simple white lace/paper effect gazebo made as a photography prop. Total Prims as is = 8 but the gazebo itself can stand alone as 4 prims.

adding a different concept of a line (thanks SFO!) to this already very line-centric sculpture made the whole thing look a lot more interesting, and the flawless blue sky helped to provide a perfect uniform backdrop.

The MAM recently gained international recognition with the construction of the white concrete Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava (his first completed project in the United States), which opened on May 4, 2001. The pavilion was engineered by the Milwaukee-based engineering firm, Graef. The structure contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil which opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The brise soleil has since become a symbol for the city of Milwaukee

This is a wall of ancient greek writing seen at Sparta in Greece. I found it intriguing that something so old and ancient could have lasted so long, and couldn't help but wonder what was written there.

The ceiling in the Commonwealth Bank Building on Martin's Place in Sydney is well worth looking at as it is beautifully done.
This art deco artwork is part of the exterior stone walls of the Great Western Bank branch in downtown Council Bluffs, Iowa. I pass it twice a day, since it appears on both the east and west walls of the building.
I have named it "Naked Man with Wheel, Scythe, Bundled Wheat and Shocked Animal". Why is the animal, perhaps a dog(?), shocked? Because this man has chosen to farm the land naked.
I am not quite sure why, but I am particularly drawn to this every time I pass by it......
Ghost sign / Signalisation fantôme. Mur mitoyen de la maison Abner Bagg (à l'avant-plan).
Construction estimée: 1819-1821.
Eight ideas, watercolor and ink. I find that after I've been filling notebooks with little shorthand pencil sketches of ideas for a while it's worth it to take some time to color and ink them.
RIVERVIEW GARDENS IS A SERIES OF 3 IDENTICAL HOUSES LOCATED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, ONE BLOCK NORTH OF LAKE AUSTIN (NOW LADY BIRD LAKE). THE HOMES WERE INSPIRED BY HAMILTON POOL, A DEEP NATURAL ESCARPMENT WHICH FORMS A DRAMATIC WATERFALL NEAR AUSTIN. IN THE SPIRIT OF THAT WATERFALL, RAINWATER IS DIRECTED TO THE END OF EACH RIVERVIEW GARDEN HOUSE AND FALLS 3 STORIES IN A SHEET TO FORM A DRAMATIC WATERFALL, NOT UNLIKE THE RARIN SCREEN FOUND IN CLASSICAL CHINESE GARDENS. THE RAINWATER IS THEN COLLECTED IN AN 80’ LONG SHARED POND WHICH ON A BREEZY DAY PROVIDES SOME NATURAL COOLING TO THE HOUSES.
EACH UNIT CONTAINS 2000 SQUARE FEET OF CONDITIONED SPACE AND AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE. THE UNITS ARE RAISED OFF THE GROUND TO PROVIDE COVERED PARKING AND A RECREATION AREA BELOW WHILE CAPITALIZING ON VIEWS OF THE LAKE ABOVE THE TREE LINE.
EACH HOUSE’S PLAN IS STRETCHED ON AXIS TOWARD THE RIVER TO FRAME THE PRIMARY VIEW WHILE CREATING SEMI-PRIVATE YARDS BETWEEN THE HOUSES. SPATIAL ORGANIZATION IS DRIVEN BY THE VIEW OF THE LAKE. A SERIES OF GLASS AND VEGETATIVE SCREENS DIVIDE THE PRIMARY SPACES ON EACH FLOOR, EACH CREATING A FILTER BETWEEN THE PUBLIC SPACE FACING THE LAKE AND THE PRIVATE SPACE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. AS ONE MOVES FROM PUBLIC SPACE TO PRIVATE, THE VIEW OF THE LAKE IS GRADUALLY OBSTRUCTED, RETAINING THE PLAN'S ORGANIZATIONAL FOCUS WHILE ALLOWING INCREASING AMOUNTS OF PRIVACY.
THE HOUSES ARE MONOLITHIC ON THE EAST/WEST AXIS AND COMPLETELY OPEN WITH GLASS ON THE NORTH/SOUTH AXIS ALLOWING UNINTERRUPTED VIEWS TO THE LAKE. THE MINIMIZED FOOTPRINT ENSURES LARGE SHARED YARDS WITH DRAMATIC 40' TALL BRAZILLIAN HARDWOOD WALLS. A CACTUS WALL, LIKE PAINTER DIEGO RIVERA’S LEGENDARY MEXICO CITY STUDIO FENCE, WILL FRAME THE LOTS AT STREET LEVEL.
SPATIAL PARTITIONS ALONG EACH BUILDING'S AXIS ARE ENTIRELY GLASS TO ALLOW SHARED VIEWS. A CENTRAL COURTYARD SERVES AS PART OF THE CIRCULATION. THE COURTYARD IS FRAMED BY CLEAR GLASS WALLS ALLOWING UNINTERRUPTED VIEWS THROUGH THE INTERIOR ROOMS AND OUT TO THE LAKE. THE COURTYARD ALLOWS PRIVATE ACCESS TO THE OUTSIDE AND CREATES SEMI-PRIVATE EXTERIOR SPACES.
ALL ROOF SURFACES ARE OCCUPIABLE. THE MAIN ROOF IS DESIGNED AS A PARTIALLY ENCLOSED “ROOM” WITH TALL TRANSULENT PANELS ENSURING PRIVACY, FRAMING VIEWS, AND REFLECTING THE LIGHT OF THE SKY.
WORKING AS BOTH THE DESIGNER AND BUILDER GIVES THE BERCY CHEN STUDIO OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALIZE INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS AND DETAILS. A DESIGN PARTNERSHIP WITH STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS ENABLED EVEN THESE RELATIVELY SMALL HOMES TO EXHIBIT SOME STRUCTURAL FETES. LIKE AN INVERTED TOWER OF PISA, THE TOP MOST VOLUME OF THE HOUSE CANTILEVERS OVER THE MIDDLE VOLUME, WHICH CANITLEVERS OVER THE BASE. THE RESULTING FORM REACHES OUT TOWARD THE LAKE AND PROVIDES AMPLE SHADING FOR EACH LEVEL.
EVER STRIVING FOR DRAMA, MINIMALISM, ECONOMY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY, THE STUDIO TESTED VARIOUS STRATEGIES FOR MAKING THE TRANSLUCENT EXTERIOR WALL PANEL SYSTEM AS INSULATIVE AS POSSIBLE. ULTIMATELY A COMBINATION OF POLICARB PANELS, ENAMELED WOOD STUDS, AND ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD BUBBLE WRAP ACHIEVED A MINIMUM VALUE OF R-8 FOR ALL EXTERIOR WALLS.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPARENCY IN THE PROJECT DEMANDED CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF GLAZING DESIGN. BERCY CHEN UTILIZED THE EXPERTISE OF FABRICATORS ON THEIR TEAM TO CUSTOM BUILD ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS, EVEN DOWN TO THE HANDLES AND LATCHES.
