** I want to dedicate this picture to Katerina, for all her good spirit and wonderful inspiration.!! **
This girl worked real hard to push that board against the flow. Taken from the bridge in Avila, California.
Walking on the lava flow. Much of which is obsidian.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990 to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the United States. It was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It includes 50,000 acres (20,000 ha) of lakes, lava flows, and spectacular geologic features in central Oregon. These photos are taken from the summit Paulina Peak 7,985 ft, (2,434 m). Just below us are East Lake and Paulina Lake and The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres. It is hard to fathom as you drive through the summit area that you are within a 17 square mile caldera at the summit of a 500 square mile volcano, a volcano that remains very active to this day. Newberry is both seismically and geothermally active. Geologists believe the caldera sits over a shallow magma body only 2 to 5 kilometers deep. Visitors see numerous cinder cones (over 400 throughout the area), miles of basalt flows, as well as rhyolite flows of obsidian.
A Tiananmen Square is the biggest public square and has a most important international history. On the other hand, the existing Tiananmen Square has problems which relate to its meaning, and sense of place but, is weakened by its status and layout as a place to stay and lack of care regarding its special use, beauty and environmental circulation.
We intend to awaken a meaning for this central area of Beijing as well as, bringing meaning of place into relief by proposing an iconic landscape. Therefore, Tiananmen Square needs to become a point of relief in a country of tourist attractions, that can contribute to the economical growth of Beijing. We propose to connect whole complex commemorative buildings near to Tiananmen Square as one complex and integrated and transient inhabitation through a structure of a form which applies the information gathered from people's flow [like liquid shape] as consideration of relationship with the existing edges or circumference of the site.
We consider five key points to suggest new landscape, first of all, an access that people can use to approach the commemorative building through a variety ways through the structure. Secondly, new existences of place which can be used as locations in which to stay and take a rest in the site. The third function is one that can be used to reduce the damage caused by atmospheric phenomena of the wind carrying Beijings famous yellow dusts, through using an elaborate air purification system and eco materials. Fourthly, originality, it will be a landmark construction of unique form. Finally, interaction, it is by using flexible structures on intermediate levels and spaces which will provide opportunities for communication between a space and a people, and each user.
