I took this at the Child Development Center at Grossmont College. They have developed into a Reggio Emilia center. I loved it. I really like how they used natural items through out the classrooms and I liked how they displayed the art work. They had really neat 3-D art projects displayed.

Fraser Brown MacKenna Architects have won planning permission for a development of 234 student rooms and a nursery in a sensitive location on the edge of two conservation areas in Hammersmith. The site on Paddenswick Road lies within the mainly residential Ravenscourt Park area of Hammersmith and adjoins two conservation areas. The existing building dates from the early twentieth century and was used as a police section house until 1996 and since that time as a hostel.
Initially a retrofit option was explored, however the number of internal level changes would be costly to resolve and the poor thermal quality of the building envelope meant retaining the façade was unviable. It was decided that in the long-term, the more sustainable option would be to redevelop the site; however the existing buildings remained a key design driver.
Ravenscourt House provided an obvious starting point; the volume and articulation of the hostel was an established and admired feature of the townscape and while the façade could not be retained, we were keen to carry through the relevant and positive attributes to inform the language of the new buildings, particularly through the detailing of the brickwork.
Our proposals are arranged into three volumes of reducing height, the tallest on the principal frontage to Paddenswick Road, linked together at ground floor level. This simplified plan responds to the surrounding grain and creates a slender profile to each of the buildings, with landscaped courtyards between that enhance views and maximize natural light. Whilst the overall height of the new building is lower than the existing hostel, the new development offers more accommodation; 234 self-contained studio bedrooms together with communal facilities and a nursery for the adjoining John Betts Primary School.
The design of the new buildings is a contextual response. We developed an architectural language that draws on recognizable characteristics of the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian buildings but does not seek to imitate particular styles. Brick is the principal material, with changes in tone and different bonds used to create subtle variations between the three volumes.
The principal frontage to Paddenswick Road is the most dynamic. A white ground floor plinth gives way to three floors of highly modelled brickwork with projected headers within the Flemish Bond. This energy is enhanced through chamfered window surrounds and two storey projecting bays. The double height windows provide a strong vertical emphasis; an echo of the former Section House. The fourth and fifth storeys are less heavily modelled and capped by a band of intricately detailed brickwork with the headers removed, announcing the material change to the uppermost storeys which are clad in zinc and recessed from the main footprint.
The frontage to John Betts Primary School provides a new nursery on the ground floor, accessible from the school grounds; its entrance announced by a slender canopy. Two storeys of highly modelled buff London Stock brick are set under the uppermost storey, clad in zinc – the proportions and material treatment respecting the neighbouring building, a former school house. High level windows allow natural light into the corridors but avoid overlooking the playground.
Appointed by Abanar LLP and South Street Asset Management, Fraser Brown MacKenna secured a resolution to grant planning permission from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in August 2011

Forza d'Agrò is an Italian town and comune in Sicily, part of the Province of Messina.Forza d'Agrò is on the lower peak of a small mountain, while on the higher peak that overlooks the town are the remains of a Norman castle. Much of the town consists of traditional buildings and stone paved lanes that are impassable by car. Due to this lack of recent development, Forza d'Agrò has featured as the backdrop in a number of films, such as The Godfather trilogy.The original name of the village was Vicum Agrillae, changed into current in the XIV century after having fortified the centre. The word Forza in fact derives from Latin Fortia, and means "fort", while the addition D'agrò derives from Greek Agròs, and means "field". The Holy Trinity Church, also known as St. Augustine's, is accessible by a scenic staircase. The interior, with a nave, is characterized by the sharp color contrast procured by the four altars, wooden structures painted ultramarine blue with pale gold ornaments, with white walls and without any decoration.Forza D’Agrò is immersed in green and peace and its lands are dominated by the castle testifing the medieval history of the place. Do not miss the beautiful view of the castle and its gatehouse from the fortified walls, the fifteenth-Cathedral of SS. Annunziata, the church of the Triad with its spectacular Durazzesco Arch and the Convent of the Augustinians. The local cuisine summarizes in a harmonious and original fusion, the best the earth has to offer lively and generous. Every dish, from the simplest to the most elaborate, shows creativity, imagination, into a festival of colors and flavors to be enjoyed and savored.
Forza d'Agrò è un comune italiano di 914 abitanti della provincia di Messina in Sicilia.Fa parte del comprensorio della Valle d'Agrò e all'Unione dei Comuni delle Valli joniche dei Peloritani ed è situato su un cocuzzolo alla quota di 420 m s.l.m.Il primo insediamento risale al X secolo, con il nome di Vicum Agrillae, mentre l'attuale denominazione risale al XIV secolo.I monumenti più rilevanti sono la chiesa madre, dedicata alla Santissima Annunziata (secolo XVI), il convento Agostiniano, la chiesa della Santissima Trinità ed il castello normanno (XIV secolo), del quale rimangono soltanto dei ruderi.Come un balcone sul mare Jonio, dal suo belvedere è possibile ammirare la costa da Messina a Siracusa, con Taormina e Castelmola, la baia di Giardini-Naxos e l'imponente mole del vulcano Etna.Nel 1971, il centro storico di Forza d'Agrò (assieme a quello della vicina Savoca) è stato scelto da Francis Ford Coppola per l'ambientazione di numerose scene presenti in tutti i film della saga della famiglia Corleone, a partire da Il padrino.Forza d’Agrò esibisce un suggestivo borgo antico, entro cui sono incastonate la stupenda chiesa quattrocentesca della SS Trinità, annessa al convento agostiniano, a cui si accede dalla scenografica gradinata semicircolare in pietra arenaria, attraverso il quattrocentesco portale gotico-catalano, chiamato “Arco durazzesco” e la Chiesa madre intitolata alla SS Annunziata e Assunta. Quest’ultima è un magnifico esempio di architettura religiosa risalente al XV secolo, entro cui si custodisce il pregevole Crocifisso ligneo tre-quattrocentesco che i forzesi portano in processione ogni 14 settembre per la solennità dell’”Esaltazione della Croce”.L'Arco Durazzesco: secondo lo storico dell'arte Stefano Bottari, questo antico monumento risale al XV secolo. È situato nella parte orientale del paese e si raggiunge mediante una suggestiva scala semicircolare in pietra arenaria. L'Arco Durazzesco, in stile Gotico Catalano, immette sulla Piazza della Triade, su cui si affacciano l'antica chiesa della Santissima Trinità ed il Convento Agostiniano; suddetta piazza è uno dei punti più belli di Forza d'Agrò, da lì si scorgono quasi tutto l'abitato e la Baia di Taormina. Il manufatto è realizzato con pietra arenaria, mattoni e malta. La Porta Durazzesca prende il nome dalla città albanese di Durazzo, sulla quale la Famiglia Angiò esercitava la propria signoria.

Session 3: Infrastructure Investment, Fiscal Space, and Growth: Does Asia Need More Official Financing for Investment?
With international financial conditions becoming less accommodative, and activity in some critical parts of Asia moving to a lower equilibrium, economic growth is likely to settle below the high rates of the past decade. Addressing these challenges will require a recalibration of macroeconomic policies, efforts to reduce vulnerabilities, and deeper structural reforms. Key issues include upgrading investment in infrastructure, public investment and maintaining fiscal space, improving educational outcomes and other steps to spur productivity.

between development and the land.
all my life i've been seeking grass. i grew up in a green world, with tons of grass to roll around in, and trees to climb, and flowers that grew at different times of the year, and a sense of seasonal foods, and disciplined parents who ate as vegetarian as they could and tried to create vegetarians out of me and my brother (I think they were a little more successful with me, an open-minded eater, versus my brother, who would literally only eat meat or cheese for many years).
i try and sit down on the grass every day. you can do that all year long in durham. that's why i live here.
i'm drawn to natural beauty, to earthiness and foods that have color, to light, to water, to soil, to the strength of people who work on the land, whose hands and skin show the wear and tear of a life lived outdoors.
lately i've been thinking more about what this means for me spiritually. at a certain point in my christian life, i might have accepted that "green" thinking was important for christians to learn about and be involved in because it was better for our bodies and for our neighbors, socially speaking; hence, it was the right thing to do for the world. i still feel this way. nowadays, however, having recently been reading/listening to Ellen Davis's thoughts (piggybacking very much off of the ideas of Wendell Berry and other land-focused thinkers), i'm beginning to think there are even deeper implications than even just the social costs. there are questions that Davis brings up in "Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture" that are causing me to re-think the perspective i have (which essentially makes it a moral issue), and re-shape it into something that relates to God's promises and covenant with this world. this relates to agriculture being something that God made for us to do, not just eat well and reap the bounty of others' hard work - the "blind" habit we have of eating what is sold to us in grocery stores. but to actually be in touch with the earth, and to develop our own relationship to sewing, to harvesting, and to eating from the seasons He created.
my thoughts are not nearly as focused as Mrs. Davis's and will need time (and action too) to iron out what i hope i will find as solutions to these questions.
one thing i've noticed since childhood and that i've always viewed as a huge problem humanity has today is that we isolate ourselves from the earth. this is easy to do because wealthy folks can pay as much money as they need to in order to keep themselves comfortable and separated. from weather, from dirt, from what lies beyond the doors, insulation, carpeting of their own home. the outside.
not everyone, mind you. there are people living in the "biotic" community for sure. but not that many. a lot of people choose to live in what i've sometimes referred to as "the padded universe." this is where you can pay for peace and security in favor for any kind of world that could be broken in on by the earth around it, by the people around it, or anything else that could disturb a synthetic perpetual harmony that we're all used to. and feel entitled to.
in a way we don't realize, this is just another way in which we isolate ourselves from each other, and from the needs of the community we live in, and let's not forget God. The Great Big God who made everything and loves it. and hopes and gives always for its best.

The Development Threat Index is part of the Land Use Land Cover collection. The cumulative development threat index is a terrestrial global, future development threat map based on combining these resources: agricultural expansion, urban expansion, conventional oil and gas, unconventional oil and gas, coal, mining, biofuels, solar, and wind. Each threat ranked potential development from 0–100 with 100 indicating the highest potential for future development of the resource and were produced at a 50 square kilometer (km2) grid cell resolution, excluding all cells overlapping Antarctica and those with >50% considered marine. This map displays the projected future development threat of utility-scale solar power. The area-ranked threat scores are based on a combined metric of solar resources in watts per square meter (W/m2), land suitability, and economic feasibility for solar power development.
