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.

The "downtown challenge"...the idea was to find four things to shoot in one city block here in Sebastopol. It could be across the street, if desired, but my feet had to stay on that block.
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!
I took these photos in East London in October 2016.
This is the first village where we stopped for lunch. In all the villages we saw during our 4 days tour (just a few), all the houses were made of mud bricks.
My boss made a special stop to show me that the brick paving at Mount Vernon was unique in it's bonding patterns.
Obviously.
My brick badge and custom minifig that I picked up from the Brickengraver at the event.
I removed my location brick, but those I met at BrickFair know where my cave is ;-)
Parked in a carpark waiting for my wife. Got bored, nothing else to do so I took a picture of a brick wall.
Bricking Bavaria 2015 in Munich. All shown builds belong to their individual builders/owners. I was only visiting the show.
164/365: Have I mentioned to you that Caracas is a very chaotic city? There's always a lot of traffic, people are in a very stressful hurry and it's practically impossible to do three errands on a single day if you don't wake up at least at 6am. But this Sunday was very different... there was this silent and calm atmosphere everywhere around. A perfect rest for the body and mind...
An ongoing project to shoot people at football games. Street Photography can be achieved in any environment especially where there are people. Football is a different challenge, as fans can be volatile , excited by a game, feelings can ran high . Home and away fans, winning and losing this is my take on football fans.
