Die Langen Foundation ist eine 2002 gegründete private Kunststiftung. Sie widmet sich der Kunstsammlung von Marianne und Viktor Langen. Die Stiftung unterhält ein von dem japanischen Architekten Tadao Ando entworfenes Ausstellungsgebäude auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen NATO-Raketenstation bei Neuss.
...die vom russischen Architekturbüro SPEECH entworfen wurde.
Hier ein Auszug aus dem Museumsführer:
"Das Museum für Architekturzeichnung liegt auf dem Gelände des Pfefferbergs in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. Das Areal wurde 1848 für die Brauerei Pfefferberg erschlossen und weist eine wechselvolle Geschichte auf.
Seit 1990 haben sich in den meist unter Denkmalschutz stehenden Gebäuden Kultureinrichtungen, Galerien und Künstlerateliers angesiedelt.
Gefärbter Beton und Glas bilden die Fassaden des Gebäudes, eine Kombination, die unter verschiedenen Aspekten kontrastreich und vielschichtig ist.
Sowohl die plastische Gestaltung des Betons als auch seine Herstellung und der konstruktive Einsatz sind bemerkenswert und prägen neben der Kubatur das außergewöhnliche Erscheinungsbild des Museums.
Die geschlossene Gebäudeoberfläche ist dekoriert mit stark vergrößerten Fragmenten architektonischer Skizzen in Reliefform. Die überdimensionierten Linienzeichnungen verweisen auf die Nutzung des Gebäudes als Ausstellungsort und Archiv.
An vielen Stellen im Inneren des Museums kehren die Gestaltungselemente der Fassade wieder und manifestieren den Designcode des Hauses; diesem Prinzip folgen auch die eigens entworfenen Türbeschläge..."
The city of Guimarães is historically associated with the foundation of Portuguese nationality and identity. Guimarães (among other villages) precedes and prepares the foundation of Portugal, being known as "The Cradle of the Portuguese Nation". Here took place in 1128 the main political events.

This house was undermined by a flood a handful of years ago. Slowly the house collapsed with its belongings still inside. Located in rural Brown County, Ohio a few miles north of the Ohio River.

Supporting the 'Temple of the Winds' folly in The Neale, Co. Mayo, Ireland are the foundations of a castle built c. 1776 that was never completed. This image was taken the morning before my previously-posted star trails shot of the exterior.

The lighthouse was commissioned in 1882. The original lighthouse was built of concrete, and has a octagonal tower with a spire in a corner. The shape of the tower is rarely seen in Norway and the lighthouse is largely preserved as it was built. The lighthouse is therefore protected under the law on cultural heritage.
The lighthouse was closed in 1952 and the present lighthouse was constructed immediately next to it.
The original lighthouse was white with a sharply pyramidal gray roof. The 6-metre (20 ft) tall tower held a light that could be seen for up to 11.4 nautical miles (21.1 km; 13.1 mi). In 2012, the old lighthouse buildings were transferred to a non-profit foundation to preserve them as a museum. Wikipedia
ja, der Victor, lieber Paul, war mit Recht sehr erfolgreich und konnte dieses moderne Gebäude schon in den 70er Jahren inszenieren ... natürlich nur, damit ich es dir heute zum Geburtstag schenken kann ...

We caught some of the exhibitions at the Rencontres photography Festival in Arles. This building was hosting a display by the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz.Foundation for documentary photography
The Village Weaver is one species of 8 predominantly yellow coloured seed-eaters that flock together and with every breeding season build fresh hanging nests in a large communal tree.
Often they share that tree with 2 or 3 other species of weaver birds, making ID sometimes a challenging game.
What I loved about this particular tree was that the birds were in different stages of building, so we could truly see how they start the structure - they build the "frame" - a strong, sturdy circle first, beautifully demonstrated by this male Ploceus cucullatus in his prime :) I hope he found a mate happy to nest in what he is building :)
PS: I'd like to add, that we were at the Bird-Hide at Panic Lake, near Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park. The tree was on the other shore across the lake and I used my 500mm zoom less, had to crop very heavily and I used Topaz to slightly upscale and denoise the image, to be able to show the detail of the nest ring.
There was no disturbance of the birds; we were too far away from them, so we could watch their natural behaviour :)

Gehry, always overdoing it... here again, at Foundation Louis Vuitton - because we all know "98 percent of everything that is built and designed today is..." I think he is just in the expensive part of the 98 percent.
ALONG one of Penang’s most popular streets, there’s a mural depicting a young boy on a most unusual ride – an Olive Ridley sea turtle.
He beams gleefully as the turtle glides past corals and cliffs in the company of other aquatic creatures.
The large mural, titled “ ”, is on a wall of a double--storey heritage shophouse in Armenian Street.
Commissioned by Ikhtiar Foundation, the artwork is designed to spark conversations about endangered species and the urgent need to protect fragile marine ecosystems.
It is just steps away from artist Ernest Zacharevic’s famous “Little Children on a Bicycle” mural, a site frequented by thousands of tourists daily.
Ikhtiar Foundation founder Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Jailani Muhamed Yunus said the location was a deliberate choice to ensure the message reached as many people as possible.
“George Town’s heritage enclave is a hub of creativity. What better place to put up a call to action that doubles as an artistic attraction.
“The artists have beautifully captured the majesty of the turtles. We hope this will inspire more people to love and protect them,” Dr Ahmad said during the mural’s launch.
Olive Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) were chosen as the subject as they are known to nest on secluded beaches in Penang, like Teluk Bahang.
It took a family team of three artists – Justina Lee and her two sons Gideon and Andersen Tan – over three weeks to complete the piece.
Andersen said the hot spell made it challenging to paint outdoors for long periods, so they only worked once the sun dropped behind taller buildings.
“We gave the turtles a cute demeanour so they look more endearing and will encourage passers-by to stop, pose and take photos with them.”
He was referring to one turtle depicted as holding a vintage kopitiam cup of local black coffee beside a young girl.
Lee said they felt the weight of taking on such a big piece in the prominent location, but were eventually pleased with the outcome.
“We’re privileged to have been able to produce a mural so near to Zacharevic’s iconic work, which first put Penang on the global map for street art,” said Lee.
Her husband Tan Chor Wye, who served as the project’s coordinator, said they were fortunate that the building’s landlords were receptive to the idea.
They also needed the approval of various regulatory bodies as the building was a heritage structure.
“Besides a meaningful subject matter, the mural further enlivens the area and this can be beneficial for surrounding businesses,” said Tan.
Six-year-old Haura Amanda and four-year-old Hadif Aali – the children depicted in the mural – are enjoying their new-found fame.
Their father Muhammad Amirul Faiz Ahmad Fuad, an assistant engineer with Penang Island City Council (MBPP), said both children loved animals.
“We happily obliged when the artists were looking for models.
“The children were so excited to see themselves in the artwork,” said Amirul Faiz.
Also present for the launch was Penang Deputy State Secretary (management) Muhamad Ghopran Yeop Hamzah.
The production of the mural was part of Ikhtiar Foundation’s Love Our Turtles programme.
The set of Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy is my dad's...the tea set is my mom's from their wedding...and the unique retro teapot is something I picked up at a thrift store in Pittsburgh but have since passed on to a friend who appreciates vintage pieces even more than I do.
This is also appropriate because my dad got me into sci-fi but my mom got me into tea, and all three subjects were made circa the 60's and 70's.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Roman wall of Zaragoza is a defensive wall built in the Colonia Caesar Augusta, in the Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis province belonging to the Roman Empire, currently called Zaragoza, being the capital of the autonomous community of Aragon, ( Spain ).
Built under the command of Tiberius in the 1st century and reformed until the 3rd century, the Roman wall of Zaragoza came to have a length of about 3,000 meters and about 120 defensive towers. Two sections have been preserved: the longest, about 80 meters long, at the northwest corner of what was the Roman city of Caesaraugusta, next to the Torreón de La Zuda, and another on the northeast side, which is currently part of the Convent of the Holy Sepulcher.
Its layout, studied by Francisco Íñiguez Almech, must have been regular, with a height of about ten meters and four in width. At intervals of fourteen to sixteen meters were ultra-semicircular towers, with a diameter of between 8 and 13 meters. The wall of the Roman foundation enclosed and conditioned the urban layout for many centuries, as they were reused by Visigoths and Muslims.
The 2008 edition of the Zaragoza Historical Artistic Guide directed by Guillermo Fatás, points out that recent research indicates that the preserved wall was built in the second half of the 3rd century AD. C. and executed with a uniform construction technique: an interior body of Roman concrete covered with ashlars on the outside, 7 m thick except for the eastern section, which would be built in ashlar rigging and would be 6 m thick.
