A research collaboration between CITA and MAPT/Copenhagen
The DevA research project investigates the use of curved sheet material in architecture using hybridised 3D modelling and pattern cutting techniques. The project explores how digital design and fabrication technologies enable the development of new structural concepts through the new means of material specification and detailing at unprecedented levels of precision.
The project employs a practice based hand-on method based on the development of speculative probes, material protoypes and demonstrators. This method allows us a direct insight into the techniques and material properties in working with steel anddevelopable surfaces.

The Ganges river (Ganga in Indian languages) is the most important river of India, spanning a length of over 2500 km (1560 mi), as it flows down from the Himalayan mountains and flows through the Ganges valley plains. The river is formed by the merger of five major sub-rivers that flow down the Himalayan mountains, as well as hundreds of smaller streams and creeks. Each of the five major mergers or confluences is called a "prayag" (pronounced "pra-yaag").
Deva Prayag Devprayag is the final confluence, where the last two components of the Ganges, known as Alakananda and Bhagirathi, merge. In fact, it is only after Deva Prayag that the Ganges river becomes known as Ganges or Ganga. Therefore the town is a very important destination for pilgrims.
Deva Prayag is a fairly small town of about 2,000 inhabitants at an elevation of about 830m (2723 feet). It is 70 km away from Rishikesh on National Highway 58 towards Badrinath. A big part of the town is located on one hillside at the junction of two rivers, looking like a house at the intersection of two streets.
This entire area is spectacularly beautiful, so I took several shots, and I have listed them here in no particular order.

The south gate of Angkor Thom is the best preserved. It is approached from outside via a causeway that extends about fifty meters across a moat. On each side of the causeway are railings fashioned with 54 stone figures engaged in the performance of a famous Hindu story: the myth of the Churning of the Ocean. On the left side of the moat, 54 'devas' (guardian gods) pull the head of the snake 'Shesha' while on the right side 54 'asuras' (demon gods) pull the snake's tail in the opposite direction. In this myth, the body of the snake is wrapped around the central mountain—Mt. Meru—perhaps corresponding here to the Bayon temple at the center of the site. In any case, the myth relates that as the Devas pulled the snake in one direction and the gods pushed in the other, the ocean began to churn and precipitate the elements. By alternating back and forth, the ocean was 'milked', forming the earth and the cosmos anew.

The south gate of Angkor Thom is the best preserved. It is approached from outside via a causeway that extends about fifty meters across a moat. On each side of the causeway are railings fashioned with 54 stone figures engaged in the performance of a famous Hindu story: the myth of the Churning of the Ocean. On the left side of the moat, 54 'devas' (guardian gods) pull the head of the snake 'Shesha' while on the right side 54 'asuras' (demon gods) pull the snake's tail in the opposite direction. In this myth, the body of the snake is wrapped around the central mountain—Mt. Meru—perhaps corresponding here to the Bayon temple at the center of the site. In any case, the myth relates that as the Devas pulled the snake in one direction and the gods pushed in the other, the ocean began to churn and precipitate the elements. By alternating back and forth, the ocean was 'milked', forming the earth and the cosmos anew.
The causeway or bridge that spans the moat in front of each of the four gate-towers, have a row of devas on the left and asuras on the right, each row holding a naga in the attitude of a tug-of-war. (A deva is a deity or more particularly, a benevolent supernatural being. Asuras are a different group of deities, in constant battle with the devas.) This appears to be a reference to the myth, popular in Angkor, of the Churning of the Sea of Milk. The temple-mountain of the Bayon, or perhaps the gate itself, would then be the pivot around which the churning takes place. The nagas may also represent the transition from the world of men to the world of the gods (the Bayon), or just be guardian figures.
The Churning of the Sea of Milk
The sage Durvasa gave a garland to Indra, the king of Gods. Indra placed the garland around his elephant, but the animal trampled it, insulting the sage. Durvasa then cursed the gods to lose their immortality, strength, and divine powers. After losing the kingdom of heaven, they approached Vishnu for help.
He advised that they drink the nectar of immortality to regain their glory. To obtain it, they needed to churn the ocean of milk, a body of water so large they needed a mountain, Mount Mandara, as the churning staff and the serpent Vasuki as the churning rope. The Devas were not strong enough to churn on their own and declared peace with their foes, the Asuras, to enlist their help.
Finally, Mount Mandara churned, but the force was so great the mountain began to sink into the ocean of milk. Taking the form of the turtle Kurma (the god of mild curry), Vishnu bore the mountain on his back as they churned the waters. Fourteen precious things arose from the turbulent ocean, culminating with Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods, who brought with him the nectar of immortality. And they all lived happily ever after.

Built in the 13th century, Deva Fortress was one of the most powerful fortresses of Transylvania. Its first documentary attestation dates back to 1269, in an act issued by Stefan, the king of Hungary. The citadel functioned between 14th - 15th centuries as a voievodal residence and valach district.
The 'Hazard Cell' at Deva asylum in Chester.
When this was discovered there was much speculation of its use, Was it some kind of experimental treatment room? (it also has a strobe light on the side wall for added freakyness!)
Sadly the real explination is less sinister. This ward of the hospital was used for a art exibition after it closed and this was an exhibit.
Still, makes for an interesting photo
Plašākā treniņlidojumu daļa norisinājās Ādažu poligonā, kur Latvijas Gaisa spēku aviācijas bāzes helikopters „Mi-17”, Igaunijas Gaisa spēku helikopters „R-44” un lidmašīna „L-39”, iznīcinātāji „Rafale”, „Typhoon”, kā arī Zviedrijas Gaisa spēku iznīcinātāji „Gripen” atbalstīja Baltijas valstu un Polijas bruņoto spēku gaisa atbalsta kontrolieru un apvienotā uguns atbalsta priekšējo novērotāju vingrinājumu. Trīs dažādi apvienotā gaisa un sauszemes vingrinājuma scenāriji deva iespēju kontrolieriem un novērotājiem parādīt apgūtās iemaņas, kā koordinēt gaisa atbalstu sekmīgai kaujas operāciju izpildei.
Vingrinājumā piedalījās arī Pretgaisa aizsardzības divizions, Ādažu poligonā izvēršot primārās novērošanas radaru "PS-70" un vairākas raķešu sistēmas "RBS-70" apkalpes, tādējādi izmantojot iespēju trenēties ar reāliem gaisa mērķiem.
Vienlaikus iznīcinātāji „Mig-29” veica kopējus gaisa operāciju treniņus ar Somijas Gaisa spēku iznīcinātājiem „F-18”, bet „Typhoon” – ar „Gripen”. Lidmašīnu degvielas uzpildi gaisā nodrošināja ASV Gaisa spēku degvielas uzpildes lidmašīnas „KC-135”. Šie treniņlidojumi notika aptuveni 6000 metru augstumā, tāpēc nebija dzirdami, kā arī redzami no zemes.
Atbilstoši scenārijam „Gripen”, atgriežoties bāzē, simulēja ārkārtas situāciju, kurā tās pilots būtu spiests katapultēties. Līdz ar to tika simulēta arī katapultējušos iznīcinātāju pilotu meklēšanas un glābšanas operācija ar Valsts robežsardzes helikopteru, operācijai piesaistot arī civilos mediķus. Savukārt nokritušās lidmašīnas meklēšanas vingrinājumā tika iesaistītas Zemessardzes vienības, kurām bija jāveic ne tikai notikuma vietas apsardze, bet arī lidmašīnā esošās munīcijas neitralizēšana.
