The Cube Houses by Piet Blom are one of the most famous Rotterdam landmarks.
This is a new version of one of my favourite 'flipped' shots created for this years CIOB 'Art of Building' photo competition. The original version was slightly darker and over saturated so I took the opportunity to tweak it a bit.

From Wikipedia "Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside."

"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."
By the way, I have no idea what that means, Gabe just told me to put it :P
Also, I've never actually played this game but I found a connection that seemed to work for this cube, so this is the result.

The cube houses in Helmond consist of a pilot project comprising three homes and a larger project featuring eighteen cube-shaped stilt houses.
In the 1970s, architects sought to create welcoming residential areas with input from residents and other users—partly in reaction to the large-scale, drab modernism that characterized the prevailing architecture of the post-war reconstruction era. Piet Blom, a structuralist and follower of Aldo van Eyck, believed that large-scale structures should be built on a human scale by assembling them from small, recognizable elements. The fundamental concept—building on columns so that the space beneath the structures remains open to the public—was inspired by Le Corbusier. Blom had previously applied this principle in his design for *De Kasbah* in Hengelo.
In 1972, the municipality of Helmond commissioned Piet Blom to design a community center for a vacant site in the city center. Blom proposed intertwining the extraordinary with the ordinary, and culture with residential living. Inspired by the Peel region, he designed a forest of 188 tree-like houses. However, money was a problem, then came a fire that destroyed some cubes. As a result in 2026 only three and eighteen cubes are left.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
Exploration d'images, de composition avec des cubes..

C'est ce que j'aime avec la photo on peut explorer à l'infini..et je ne mets pas de censure, car c'est en explorant qu'on découvre ..

That's what I like about photo you can explore the infinite .. and I do not put censorship because it is by exploring that we discover ..
Seems to me that Polaroid Round Frame is all about shape. The shape of the frame is what defines it. So when trying to figure out how to use it, the place I landed was pictures of… shapes.

Sorry for the boring automotive stuff lately. Been crazy busy at work/home. It seems I could spend hours doing this flickring thing and lose track of why I got the camera in the first place. It's scary to think of how many hours I spend on this daily---precious time away from the family.
I'm not quitting or anything...just more aware of where my priorities need to be. You inspire me and provide a welcome distraction from life on the other side of the viewfinder. Summer time is really hard for me to be stuck indoors, especially in the Northwest.
Sorry for the rambling message. I hope to visit each of your streams as I can. Have a great day...and make it count!

In the days of pocket film cameras (instamatics etc) when flash was needed a flash bulb was used. A step towards recharging flash guns was the introduction of the Flash Cube, which had 4 flash bulbs built in. After the 4th one was used, the whole cube was disposed of.
Each face of the cube meanures 1 sq inch.

LEONARDO GLASS CUBE Germany 2015

I am so happy to finally share my latest huge architectural portfolio project with you I did back in april in cooperation with Leonardo in Bad Driburg, Germany to extend my architectural portfolio one more time. I really loved the overall architectural design from the very first time I saw it. The all natural looking flowing forms and curves and the white, abstract designed structures together with awesome interior light installations create a very calm and positive atmosphere. One other highlight is the 6m tall free standing glassfacade, which was produced by Leonardo and foliated with analog medium format landscape prints that you can see from the inside. On location I shot this building for four days plus another day for the inside. Postprocessing all 23 photos including a lot of manual blendings, color corrections and some heavy manual pano stitchings took about two and a half month to finish, maybe about two hours a day ~ 150 hrs total. As always I am highly interested what do you think about it and feel free to share and spread the word !
The ‘glass cube’ communicates the world and personality of the brand LEONARDO and turns vision into reality. The numerously awarded design unites the brand values ‘inspiration’, ‘emotion’ and ‘quality’ in an architectonic way.
An interdisciplinary design team,the team of architects from ‘3deluxe’ designed the futuristic building for LEONARDO which consists (at first sight) of two opposing elements: a strict geometric cube and a free form made of curved, white walls, set in this cover. With the combination of architecture, interior and graphical design as well as landscaping to an integrated design concept, ‘3deluxe’ built a complex unit with futuristic charm. The design team ‘3deluxe’ formed up in Wiesbaden (Germany) in 1992, comprising of communication designers Andreas and Stephan Lauhoff, interior designer Nikolaus Schweiger and designer Dieter Brell.

Relatively small and heavily armored, this cube type punches trough defenses to cause chaos behind enemy lines prior to the main assault.
I love these houses with their geometric surprises. Because of the terrential rain a little tweaking was necessary to achieve this effect. Hopefully we get better weather next time.
