"Beautiful Freak"

You're such a beautiful freak

I wish there were more just like you

You're not like all of the others

And that is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

That is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Some people think you have a problem

But that problem lies only with them

Just 'cause you are not like the others

But that is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Yeah that is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Too good for this world

But i hope you will stay

And i'll be here to see

That you don't fade away

You're such a beautiful freak

I bet you are flying inside

Dart down and then go for cover

And know that i

I love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

You know that i

I love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak ~Eels

Finished the path with the bricks that I got at work, they are not a match to the ones I got before but oh well! ( now if I wasn't so pickie about the rocks that I'm getting at the beach that would be finished too!!)

Artist: Gary Breeze in association with Making Marks 2006

extract from Gildencroft Park Improvements page

The new entrance includes a large brick pillar, which is currently being carved with images and text about the area by artist Gary Breeze. Gary and his colleague Charlotte Howarth held 2 workshops in early summer to enable local people to input into the design for the pillar. One workshop was for local school children from Angel Road Middle School; the other was for the general local community and was held at St Augustine’s Church hall.

The final design for the pillar is on a jousting theme, to reflect the Gildencroft’s heritage. The carving work should be complete by the end of October.

Dome, è un progetto che vede gli studenti del Laboratorio di Progetto II della Facoltà di Architettura e gli allievi della Scuola Edile di Siracusa impe-gnati a realizzare in scala 1:1 un sistema abitativo low-tech. Archi, volte e cupole in laterizio sono gli elementi costruttivi con cui gli allievi sperimentano le potenzialità d’uso innovativo di materiali e tecnologie della tradizione.

La tecnica adottata si fonda sull’impiego del ‘compasso’, un metodo che l’architetto Fabrizio Caròla impiega da oltre trent’anni in Africa ed in particolare nel Mali. Un metodo desunto dalle ‘antiche tecniche’ co¬struttive nubiane e dalle esperienze dell’architetto egiziano Hassan Fathy.

Questo cantiere didattico-sperimentale è anche un omaggio a Fabrizio Carola, “all’uomo della pietra” come lo chiamano i Dogon del Mali, l’uomo che ci ha mostrato col suo esempio la possibilità di ritrovare un più equilibrato rapporto tra architettura e luogo entro una visione in cui ricerca, formazione e professione non costituiscono più ambiti separati.

Dome is a research project which brings together the Siracusa-based Architectural Design Lab II students and the Building School students with a common goal of constructing a 1:1 low-tech shelter. Brick arches, vaults and domes become a basis for innovative experiments with traditional materials and techniques.

The adopted method is based on the use of a revolving compass - a traditional Nubian technique explored by the Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy and perfected by Fabrizio Caròla in Africa, and in particular in Mali, over a period of more than thirty years.

This experimental building site is also a homage to Fabrizio Carola - “the stone man” as the Mali Dogon call him – whose work demonstrates a possible return to a balanced relationship between architecture and its environment in a context in which research, academic and professional domains no longer constitute separate domains.

St Margaret, Hemingford Abbots, Cambridgeshire

We crossed the Ouse now for the Hemingfords, two villages that are two of the few former Huntingdonshire parishes to lie on the east bank of the Ouse. They are both very much Huntingdonshire in character with some stone houses and thatched cottages. The villages are actually very close to both Huntingdon and St Ives, but by a sleight of planning hand they seem small, remote and idyllic. Each has its own picturesque pub, and the churches are picturesque too.

First to St Margaret, which was open. A big church, with a massive disproportionate tower and spire. Inside, the stone rubble walls of the nave are stripped of plaster, which I always find rather alarming. The chancel was rebuilt in brick in the 18th Century. Everything inside is of the highest quality, including lovely engraved windows. It was such a contrast with poor old Bluntisham across the river. The eastern end of the nave roof still has the canopy of honour visible on it.

And then a mile or so east to St James, which was also open. A beautiful setting beside the river. Can there be a church closer to the Ouse than this? The west tower stands about six feet from the waters edge, and pleasure boats come down from St Ives and Huntingdon passing it, a major landmark. Simon Jenkins included it in England's Thousand Best Churches almost entirely on the grounds of its setting, admitting 'on a summer day I found it hard to stay inside the church'. The view westwards along the river towards the village centre is splendid. The top of the tower is a truncated spire, made safe after it fell in an 18th Century storm. I think there's a good case for replacing it. The interior is Norman in character, a wide, short nave which has been cleared of all old furnishings and replaced with modern chairs. I'm glad that all churches aren't like this, but it looked very nice. Full of light. A good church. In fact, they are both good churches.
