Aaron Olmstead won both "Best City" and "Best Land Vehicle" with this MOC. It's difficult to see everything in this tight little street.
I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!

My wife sent me to the store for a few things. When I returned I took a few photos at our apartment complex. For this shot, I was moving to a different position and noticed this view on the camera's screen. So I snapped the picture as I found it interesting.
Building gauge - shows where the technic pin bricks are and how wide the road is and the location of the center stripe. Plates on one side edge of the road and tiles on the other side edge. There are nine rows of bricks between the edge tile/plate and the center line plate.
This is the very first beadweaving stitch I learned---Brick & Ladder. Love the look of it! The base is a candlelit and taupe. The drops are a pretty purple. I have a deep love of this bracelet.

Twin-Bricks, Saitama, 2008
TWIN BRICKS
Twin-Bricks, consists of two wings - A five unit rental dwelling and the owner’s own two-family house. It is located in a quiet residential area, just 20 minutes by train from Tokyo. In order to secure some space for the owner’s car collection, the owner’s wing (RC Wing) stands closer to the road than the rental wing (S Wing). The rental wing is clad in both autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) panels as well as glass blocks.
S WING
The S Wing, based on the previously completed “Crystal Brick” House, introduces ALC panels as aseismatic elements in order to improve cost-effectiveness in the face of earthquake safety. The arrangement of glass block and ALC panel was derived from a series of experiments. The results showed that the ALC panel fail leaving the glass blocks intact, providing enhanced safety for the occupants. An intriguing spatial composition materializes due to the seemingly random composition of the glass block and ALC Panels which hide all structure.
RC WING
With the purpose of alleviating noise from the garage and providing a sense of privacy for the owners, Atelier Tekuto Co., Ltd. created the “RC structure + exterior thermal insulation” construction method. Costs were significantly reduced by introducing high-pressure wood wool cement boards and integrating the boards as form works. Original tiles were also developed after careful consideration.
The overall experience of Twin Bricks is heightened by the juxtaposition of the heavy RC wing and light S wing and between the transparency of glass versus the opacity of the ALC panels. Though these materials seem to be in antithesis, they exhibit a material harmony when partnered together.

I stopped by the old Worcester State Mental Hospital yesterday after donating platelets. I had a better zoom lens with me (previous pictures were with my 18-55mm kit lens and a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot). Check out the detail of the clock face in the larger sizes.
