The Hive - Kew Gardens - a 17m high multi-sensory installation commissioned by the UK Government and created by artist Wolfgang Buttress, Simmonds Studio and BDP. It formed the centerpiece of the UK Pavillion at the 2015 Milan Expo.
The structure highlights the importance of pollinators to our future food security.
... uhm, rigid, shaded and dented – right?
Ah, but it also is abstract, geometric and grasping. Look at the engineering, science, math, construction and art that it took to make such a measured monument -- a monument to earth, no less.
The exhibit at Burnheim Forest, Kentucky is called Earth Measure. I quite like it.
This shot was of one of the walls inside Rockefeller Center when travelling to the "Top of the Rock" observation stand in Manhattan, New York.
During a light snow i noticed snowflakes in different shapes falling on a black car. Tried to take a quick photo of them with my Pixel Phone.
Robert Delaunay (1885 – 1941) was a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract. His key influence related to bold use of colour and a clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas), or Holocaust Memorial (Holocaust-Mahnmal), was designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold and was built between 2003 and 2004, and inaugurated in 2005, sixty years after the end of World War II. The monument occupies a 19,000 m2 area in which 2,711 concrete slabs (or "stelae") of varying heights are arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.
The memorial, which cost approximately €25 million, has been criticized both for its function/purpose and its vagueness, as the concrete blocks offer no detail or reference to the Holocaust, although an attached underground "Place of Information" holds the names of approximately 3 million Jewish Holocaust victims.
There are countless interpretations to the memorial. According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. I personally liked its abstract solemnness and at the same time the unexpected and almost playful way in which it invites and engages the public. An (unfortunate?) aspect of this has been the topic of Israeli artist Shahak Shapira’s project “Yolocaust”, in which cheerful photos young people (mostly!) posted on social media posing/jumping around/etc at the memorial were juxtaposed with archival pictures of Nazi death camps.
Still, by stirring such discussions and wide interpretations the monuments has, in my humble opinion, served its purpose and is in any case a beautiful installation in the very central borough of Berlin.
A collection of geometric shapes, mostly triangles and circles, form a layered forest scene in varying shades of green. The overlapping shapes create a sense of depth and abstraction.
Week 22/52 Triangles, squares and circles. They are all very strong compositional elements in an image. Find a way to use geometric shapes in your storytelling.
Looking through this fence gives me the feeling of being locked in! Lots and lots of geometric shapes with in the fence and the building in the distance!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
walking through the narrow paths between the stelae, light filters through as she moves – slow, contemplative, caught between the present and the past. the lines are sharp and rigid, like the history they represent, yet a moment of humanity lingers softly in her stillness, as if she herself becomes part of the memory this monument preserves. a walk through stone, but also through layers of time.
One would whizz around the board with the twenty-sided icosahedra 😀
