Surrounded by a well kept lawn and trimmed hedge of diosmas, this sprawling Reformist (Arts and Crafts) style bungalow may be found at the far, Merri Creek end of The Grove, the elm lined and most prestigious street in the inner Melbourne suburb of Coburg.
Built in the years just before or after the Great War (1914 - 1918), it is possibly the newest house in the area. The transition from Edwardian villa to the popular low slung Californian Bungalow of the early 1920s is now far more obvious than some of its neighbours. The choice of red and brown brick to construct the house is very in keeping with the Arts and Crafts Movement, as are the stylised panes of glass in the windows. However, the Art Deco era is starting to make its presence known by way of the rounded porch canopy which has a geometric pattern on its pediment. Aside from the windows, this is the only decoration the house features, and this is a definate move away from the stylised and highly decorative Queen Anne style.
Arts and Crafts houses challenged the formality of the mid and high Victorian styles that preceded it, and were often designed with uniquely angular floor plans. However, this house's floor plan appears to be more traditional than others, with a central hallway off which the principal rooms were located.
The Grove, was part of the Moreland Park Estate. This was Coburg's most prestigious subdivision in the 1880s. In 1882 Charles Moreland Montague Dare, a St Kilda businessman, bought Jean Rennie's forty acre farm and, with his architect, T. J. Crouch, subdivided thirty acres of it into 147 allotments. The Grove was originally christened Moreland Grove after its owner. A covenant was placed on the subdivision prohibiting the building of hotels or shops, or any house under the value of 400 pounds. By 1890 there were twenty-four brick houses on the estate, twenty one of them owned by Charles Moreland Montague Dare himself. There was a caretaker to tend the streets, the wooden pavilion and the tennis courts, which soon became a bowling rink to suit the more sedate interests of the residents. Men of substance, including a banker, a merchant, a manufacturer and several civil servants and accountants lived on the estate and the Moreland Park Ladies' College in The Grove offered a genteel education. By the 1890s the Melbourne property boom had burst and by 1900 there were still only twenty seven houses in The Grove and many vacant allotments; Charles Moreland Montague Dare's own place at "Moreland Park", a ten acre property on Merri Creek, added to the rural atmosphere. In 1896 Dare fell into financial difficulties and had to transfer many of his properties to the Australian Widows' Fund Life Assurance Society. In 1900 he owned only seven houses, a few allotments and Moreland Park. He died in 1919.
Underlying the intricate geometric patterns of great complexity displayed in the art of the Shipibo people is a concept of an all pervading magical reality which can challenge the Western linguistic heritage and rational mind.

I like the angles and telephoto compression of distance. It keeps me looking further into the photo. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
My new years resolution was to post at least one photo I enjoy each day. This is today's submission.

The facade of a pretty stylised white stuccoed brick Art Deco stand alone villa in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury.
This cottage style with its low slung tile roof in a mixture of shades, white stucco work, picked out brown and red feature bricks in geometric patterns and geometric leadlight windows were very popular amongst the newly moneyed middle-class who could finally afford to buy their own homes. Comfortable and cottage like in the "Metroland" style of interwar Art Deco architecture so popular in Australia during the late 1920s, this house and many others like it represented stability and respectability, without being showy. The pillars are Spanish Misson style, an architectural movement also popular in Australia during the interwar years.
This house has a newly furbished garden with a hibiscus, a palm and a jade plant (also known as a "money tree") which is so mature that it may have been planted when the house was built. Succulents such as jade plants and other exotics were very popular in Australian gardens in the 1920s and 30s.

Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, those people thriving from farming or local industry had plenty to spend in local shops. This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1925 - 1930) belongs to the PPL Building in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Whilst the street level may have fallen victim to the changes in marketing, the upper floors remain unchanged by fickle owners. It still retains its striking minimalist Art Deco design. It features the building's name in a rounded cartouche on the building's corner facade which overlooks Albert Street. The PPL Building has a stylised stepped roofline, long spandrels with rounded edging and glass brick windows, all of which were popular architectural features of the Art Deco movement in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.

Travancore is a bijou suburb named after a beautiful Victorian mansion erected in 1863.

With commanding views of Royal Park, the area was much sought after by aspiring middle and upper middle-class citizens. This small residence was built on the lowest section of Travancore, which was the last portion of the suburb to be subdivided on what was formerly the mansion's old dairy.

These stylish Metroland maisonettes, (two houses joined by a shared central wall), can be found in a quite street in the Melbourne suburb of Travancore.
These cottage style maisonettes with their low slung tile roof, white coloured stucco work with picked out brown and red feature bricks in geometric patterns and an arch of feature bricks dividing the facade in two follow the less cluttered lines of Metroland Art Deco architecture that came out of England after the war. To give them their own individual style, one has a bay window, whilst the other features a planter box beneath its drawing room window.

The exterior of the castle overlooking the Tajuña River shows a beautiful ensemble of windows, which indicate its condition as an archbishop palace.
HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION
During the visit, it is highly recommended to see the castle’s outdoor views over the Tajuña River: the artistic open windows set within the walls, in Proto-Gothic and Romanesque style, speak to its palatial condition. Passing to the interior, one could find the clerical rooms, and prior to being an archbishop residency, it was the palace of King al-Mamun of thetaifa(kingdom) of Toledo. The military quarters were located below these rooms. The parade ground was used for a long time as a recreational garden, although currently it is a cemetery.
This castle has been used for different purposes throughout the passage of time. The first to come into its possession was King Alfonso VI, who was granted the castle as a gift from King al-Mamun of Toledo. The Christian monarch then handed it over to the archbishops of Toledo, who used it until the 16thcentury. Later, the castle would become a prison. During the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1715), it served to help Philip V’s troops conquer Brihuega. It also served as a fortress for the French military units who were able to withstand the raids led by Juan Martín Díez “El Empecinado”(“The Undaunted”) during Napoleon’s occupation of Spain in the early 1800s. Finally, it was also used as a stronghold in the Carlist wars.
Brihuega is a Spanish municipality and town in the province of Guadalajara, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. The municipal district, crossed by the Tajuña River, has 2,465 inhabitants (INE 2017)
The name of Brihuega derives from "briga" or "brioga", which means strong or walled place. The Celtiberians settled in this place (there are archaeological remains in the Tajuña valley) and the Romans, who called it Castrum Brioga, until medieval times when it appears under the name of Brioca. During this time it was an important Christian enclave conquered by Alfonso VI at the same time that he reconquered Guadalajara, Madrid, Talavera and Toledo in 1085.
At the beginning of the 12th century, Mr. Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada granted it Charter, and the construction of the most important religious monuments in Brihuega (churches of San Felipe, San Miguel, Sta María and the Gothic chapel of the castle) is due to him.
The Charter of 1215 allowed the arrival of all kinds of people to Brihuega, regardless of their religion, which boosted its economic wealth. The archbishops of Toledo granted numerous privileges to the Brihuega inhabitantsLater, in 1584, Philip II annexed the town to his heritage, and it was not until the 17th century that the archbishops recovered it as a lordship.
Brihuega played an important role in the arrival of the Bourbons to the throne of Spain (in the battle of Villaviciosa, victorious for Felipe V). This Royal House will achieve, through enlightened politics, an economic resurgence based on the wool industry and the creation of the Cloth Factory.
It will also have a historical role in the War of Independence and the Civil War.

It is usual that existing material on computer aided geometric design oscillates between over-simplification for programmers and practitioners and over formalism for scientific or academic readers. The first type of publications suppresses the taxonomy and properties of the mathematical concepts discussed when seeking straightforward notation and procedures. The second type of materials in thorough in the mathematical concepts at the expense of increasingly complicated notation and sacrifice of clear procedures for the reader.
This book intends to be a compromise between the aforementioned extremes. It recalls basic concepts on functions, relations, transformations, matrices and groups and makes evident their impact in the engineering properties of projections, rotations, translations, perspectives, and so on. The material is of interest for computer scientists and electrical, mechanical, production, mathematical and physics engineers. In particular, it gives valuable insight into robotics, computer vision, design, manufacturing, kinematics and dynamics from a practical point of view while keeping contact whit the underlying decisive mathematical properties of the objects and transformations handled.

This beautiful Arts and Crafts style villa built in a quiet, tree lined street in the Melbourne suburb of Travancore received a facelift in the 1920s.
Built between Federation (1901) and the Great War (1914), the simple roofline and restrained use of feature bricks around the porch and windows are Arts and Crafts inspired, as is the overall design with the central porch. Yet somewhere in the 1920s, the facade of the house was updated with some Art Deco detailing, including a wonderful sunburst grille over the front door. This pattern is also displayed to great effect in the adapted front fence, and is, I believe, its finest feature. In spite of the amalgum of two very different styles, the house is quite charming, and its combination makes it a little more unique than its neighbours, which are Arts and Crafts and Queen Anne in style.
Travancore is a bijou suburb named after a beautiful Victorian mansion erected in 1863. The mansion's grounds were subdivided in the late 1890s to form the new suburb, which consists only of only about five streets. With commanding views of Royal Park, the area was much sought after by aspiring middle and upper middle-class citizens. This spacious stand alone double brick residence would have been acquired by the latter of these groups. Houses like these would have suited a medium sized Edwardian family, and would have required a small retinue of servants to maintain.
