The abandoned United Artists Theater, Detroit. Designed 1927 by C. Howard Crane, and later closed as theater in 1974.
Hello everyone!
I’d like to present my final entry for the Eurobricks Architecture Contest. My entry is a micro scale model of the University of Waterloo Mathematics and Computer Science building. The base is 57x 34 studs. The building consists of 1600 bricks.
The MOC is the same size as the TLG set- Robie House.
Some facts:
Location: ............................... Waterloo, Ontario
Date: ..................................... --- to 1968
Building Type: .......................university building
Style: ..............................................brutalism
Materials ...............................stone, glass, wood, concrete
Why I chose this building?
I was browsing the Internet for an idea but couldn’t decide on anything. It was my elder brother who gave me a tip. He suggested that I should make one of the campus buildings of WU, where he’d got his diploma. I liked Maths and Computer Science building, which is a typical example of brutalism, most of all and immediately got to work. Few days ago I found True Dimensions's creation. This was gorgeous! And I solved, that I must finish entry. I ordered necessary bricks from Bricklink and continued work. Hope you like it!
Why Brutalism?
Most people strongly criticize Brutalism, calling it ugly piles of steel and concrete. But I don’t think it is so harsh and hostile after all. Aesthetics of Brutalism appeals to me. I am fond of clean lines and simple geometric forms. Of course I wouldn’t call Brutalist buildings beautiful. What I like them for is the fact they reflect our life style. We tend to choose functional things at reasonable prices nowаdays, don’t we? I agree with a French architect Charles Edouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, who considered all buildings to be tools and said: “A house is a machine for living in." And brutalist buildings are cheap and functional.
For some reason, this is one of my favorite images from my Bodie series. The color, texture, splintered wood, wooden door knob and rusted hardware sort of sum up the appeal of Bodie.
Most of the buildings in the Bodie State Park ghost town have locked doors and you have to peer in the windows to see the scenes of "arrested decay". One would feel like a voyeur there, except everyone else is doing it too :)
A few of the sturdier buildings are residences for the park personnel, and the shades are drawn to keep the nosy tourists out.
A few of the interior scenes, taken thru dusty warped glass windows, are shown below:
Sorry for the repost. The photo you guys saw was the unedited version. Here is the edited one.

One of my entries (or only, I don't know) for the G.I. Brick Contest- New weapons showcasing the M9 in gunmetal.
All weapons are Brickarms and everything else is LEGO.
Enjoy!

Details
Slaughterhouse and attached yard wall now stores. 1830-31, by Sir John Rennie Jnr, for the Victualling Board, stores from c1885. Limestone ashlar with granite dressings and slate hipped roof. Late Georgian style. PLAN: single-depth ranges in a triangular plan round a yard with cattle pens against the NE perimeter wall, SW slaughterhouse and N office. EXTERIOR: single storey; 3:8-bay front with 19-window SW side. Principal front forms part of the Yard entrance, a pair with the facing Police House (qv), all of granite with an 8-bay Doric colonnade from the entrance with entablature and parapet in front of a recessed limestone wall with doorway; the SW bay infilled by C20 office. At the SW end is the slaughterhouse gable, which has banded pilaster strips to a cornice, set forward to the central pilasters which have scrolled brackets on top and to' each side, beneath a cornice and pedimented bellcote, with a round-arch containing a late C19 brass bell and wheel; 3 round-arched doorways with small-paned metal fanlights, the central one with rusticated surround and jambs and a door of 4 flush panels, blind outer doorways each side with rusticated jambs. Long SW return has a granite plinth, cornice and parapet, is articulated by a round-arched arcade with small-paned metal lunettes, and 2 doorways with double doors; 1-window N end. The NE external wall blind, of rubble with an ashlar band, rising off the ashlar Dockyard Wall (qv); at the N end is a blocked doorway with ashlar surround, the similar S doorway was the cattle entrance. Inner courtyard elevations have round-arched arcades to the southern sides, with C20 metal-framed windows, and a formerly open arcade of iron columns with flanged capitals to the old cattle lairs to the outer wall, now also glazed. The roof to the slaughterhouse has a ridge lantern. The yard is paved and drained. INTERIOR: contains a king post roof. HISTORY: live animals entered the slaughterhouse by the entrance set back from the Main Gate. Fewer original fittings than the slaughterhouse at Gosport (qv), but within a more complete complex of victualling buildings. Forms part of an important group with the Main Gate and the matching elevation of the Police Buildings (qv) opposite, as part of the formal entrance to the Yard. The Yard is one of the most remarkable and complete early C19 industrial complexes in the country, and a unique English example of Neo-Classical planning of a state manufacturing site.

This is a Squirt from the video game Bastion. Built for BZPower's BBCC #67: Super Smash Builders.
My entry picture uses an older version of the base before I got some parts from Bricklink.
This year i went to Ilha do Sal, Cabo Verde. Still fascinating from Africa and sick of "Mal d'Afrique".
I've spent some days underwater (i did some dives), and a couple of days visiting the island on a quad.
Enjoy the photos!

We've made this booklet to be inserted in our guest packages. It's kind like a short version of the website, with a welcome letter from our pastors and short descriptions of each ministry of The Refuge. The ring on the top left corner makes this product to be very editable, we can always insert extra pages or update old ones.

This is another image from a night excursion with friends flopper, ...Annie, and Blue Hour. I was just going to upload this as a private image so I could paste it on the the other image's (Inbound) comment stream, now that flopper showed me how to, but then I thought I would just upload it so any newer contacts would see it on their "My contacts" pages. You can see part of the San Francisco skyline in a shroud of fog, as well as the Bay Bridge in the background. If you compare the two, you can see the marked difference in color cast from the red tail lights in this one, due to being on the entrance.

Ins Auge fiel mir bei unserem Hannover-Ausflug diese alte, hellblaue Eingangstüre.

I did the branches on the mantel last year, but this year I wanted it to more convincingly look like a vine was growing up from the floor, consuming the house (something that is actually happening outside the house!)

Halloween decorations 2011
Something different from me today.
I spotted this no-entry sign in Seahouses and it's striking graphic quality grabbed me. I thought it would be fun to upload this as it's so graphic and striking.
The weathered broken wood and peeling paint have a strange visual appeal.

--We've found it!
After all the trekking and boiling hot temperatures, we have finally come across the cave.
It looks so small from this distance, but every man in the party knows how large it really is.
There are four of us in total, including me. There's the Doc, he's the brains of the operation. Felipe, our bag carrier, and Pedro. I'm not entirely sure what Pedro does exactly, but at the end of the day, he's another useful pair of hands to have on the team.
The Doc says it'll only take us an hour or two to walk down the mountain, so I guess I'll fill you in on all the details when we get there.--
