Guiding Principle 1: Promote academic excellence, interdisciplinary inquiry, and vital intellectual communities
Cohesive “precincts” for the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Arts and Humanities will have distinct physical characters.
Cafes and other informal spaces will create dynamic communities for living and learning.
New Research Loft and Arts Loft buildings will provide flexible space for interdisciplinary work.
Guiding Principle 2: Promote three distinct but seamlessly interconnected campuses to promote interaction.
UB Stampede will be transitioned to a Bus Rapid Transit system that will provide faster, more comfortable and reliable service.
Reconfigured roadways will reserve pathways for future streetcar or light rail connections to downtown and South Campus, civilize Audubon Parkway, and pedestrianize the character of Putnam Way.
Guiding Principle 3: Be responsible to the larger community by shaping – and being shaped by – broader plans and policies.
Extended bike and pedestrian paths will enhance public recreation and provide safer commuter access from all directions.
Retention ponds will reduce the volume and improve the quality of stormwater entering the regional watershed.
Guiding Principle 4: Provide long-term capital planning and promote prudent stewardship of university resources.
Former professional school buildings will be renovated with reconfigurable academic spaces for more efficient scheduling.
Naturalization of the campus “outer ring” will decrease landscape maintenance needs.
Arboreal “snow traps” and reduced paved areas will cut snow management costs.
Guiding Principle 5: Establish UB as a leader in environmental stewardship and sustainable design.
Structured parking, stormwater biofiltration, and strategies to reduce single occupancy vehicle use will reduce polluted runoff from surface parking.
North Campus will become a “living laboratory” to educate students and the community about innovative strategies for environmental stewardship.
Guiding Principle 6: Use the excellent design of campus architecture, landscape architecture and interiors to create great and memorable places contributing to a high quality of campus life.
A dramatic new open space on Lake LaSalle will mark the intersection of the existing academic core and the new connection to the Ellicott Complex.
Flint, Coventry, Hamilton and Rensch loops will become ceremonial gateways to the campus flanked by expressive new buildings.
New architecture throughout the campus will meet or exceed the contemporary and thoughtful designs of the new School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and new South Ellicott Housing Complex.

The Cuevas del Drach (Caves of the Dragon) are a series of four interconnected caves located in the municipality of Manacor, near Porto Cristo on the island of Mallorca, Spain. They are a major tourist attraction known for their impressive natural formations and a unique underground lake.
Here are some key details about the Cuevas del Drach:
* **Geology and History:** The caves were formed by the action of rainwater over millions of years. They were known in the Middle Ages, but were fully explored and mapped by French geologist Édouard Alfred Martel in the late 19th century. The largest underground lake inside the caves, Martel Lake, is named after him.
* **The Experience:** A typical visit lasts about an hour and involves a walk through the caves, which extend for 1,200 meters and reach a depth of 25 meters. The path is illuminated to highlight the stunning stalactites and stalagmites.
* **The Concert:** The visit culminates with a classical music concert performed on Martel Lake. Musicians in a fleet of small rowboats float across the lake, creating a unique and magical atmosphere. After the concert, visitors have the option of taking a short boat trip across the lake themselves.
* **Ticketing and Hours:**
* **Tickets:** Prices vary depending on the season and whether you purchase online or at the ticket office. Online prices are often cheaper.
* **Opening Hours:** The caves are generally open year-round, with the exception of December 25th and January 1st. The schedule of tours and concerts changes with the season, so it is recommended to check the official website for the most up-to-date times. The first and last tours of the day are often less crowded.

The Ingersoll site is located in an industrial area at 1000 West 120th Street in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. The site is bordered by 119th Street to the north, South Morgan Street to the east, 120th Street to the south, and vacant industrial properties to the west. The geographic coordinates for the site are latitude 41°40'35" north and longitude 87°38'49" west. The site property measures approximately 12 acres and includes several interconnected, vacant buildings. A fire in the summer of 2004 destroyed a portion of the former administration areas located in the southeast portion of the site. The fence surrounding the site contains several large gaps.
The Ingersoll site has a history of industrial machining and oil use for 90 years. Borg-Warner purchased the property in 1929, and in that same period, acquired Ingersoll Steel Disc Division, manufacturer of agricultural accessories including disc blades. According to former Borg-Warner employees, electronic enclosures, hospital beds, bathtubs and sinks were also manufactured on site. During the Korean conflict, wing tanks were built, and during the Vietnam war bomb shell casings were made on the site. According to a 1975 Sanborn Fire Insurance map, an electromelt foundry was operating in the building where steel was manufactured. The former foundry building is now used as storage space.
The 1911 Sanborn Map indicates that the eastern portion of Study Area No. 7 was operated by Whitman & Barnes Manufacturing Company for the production of lawn mowers and haymaking tools. Included on the 1911 map was a machine shop, an oil house, a gas machine room, an underground gas oil tank, fuel oil tanks, four heater rooms, two engines, and two dynamos. The 1939 Sanborn Map indicates that the site was operated by the Ingersoll Steel Disk Division of Borg-Warner Corporation. The 1939 Sanborn Map shows many additions to the site including four transformer rooms, a Commonwealth Edison electrical substation, an enameling room, an above ground (AST) oil tank, three oil houses, and a pickling area. The 1950 Sanborn Map shows additions to the site including a sulfuric acid tank, additional enameling rooms, and a cleaning room. The 1975 Sanborn Map indicates additions to the site including a dipping room, an oven, and an annealing room.
In August 2005, U.S. EPA conducted a site assessment at the Ingersoll Site, which concluded that a removal action is necessary to protect human health and the environment.
On November 23, 2005, U.S. EPA approved an action memorandum requesting a CERCLA Time-Critical Removal Action at the Ingersoll Site to mitigate an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health, welfare or the environment that may be presented by the actual or threatened release of hazardous substances at or from the site.
On January 17, 2006, U.S. EPA OSC Thomas Cook and contractors mobilized to the site and began site preparation and removal
Removal activities were performed through November 10, 2006, but not all areas were able to be thoroughly addressed due to time constraints.
In February 2007, subsurface soil sampling activities performed by ERRS and START identified PCB and metal contamination above site-specific action levels. These materials remain on Site.
On April 12, 2007, U.S. EPA requested additional CERCLA funding to continue the time-critical removal action at the Site and address the findings of the February 2007 site investigation. Site remediation and removal activities included the removal, transport and disposal of remaining contaminated solids in subsurface vaults, pits and underground storage tanks; disposal of low-level PCB-contaminated soil and debris; recovery and disposal of low-level PCB-contaminated oil and sludge present in subsurface piping; and on-site treatment of low-level PCB-contaminated wastewater recovered from subsurface manholes, vaults and basements.
The city of Chicago has selected this area for rehabilitation. While much work has been completed on site to minimize the risk to human health and the environment, contaminants above site-specific action levels still remain. Additional site activities are planned by U.S. EPA to ensure the area is safe for redevelopment and reuse.

It's funny the way things are interconnected.
For example, this photo is connected to the The Jones Family post. The Jones are a family of artists. When I spoke with them, they said they would have a booth at the upcoming Dally in the Alley open-air art festival.
I didn't see the Jones family, but looking for them put me into contact with Allison, the young woman pictured above.
Allison is a musician and a member of one of the bands that played at the Dally. We talked about the interconnectedness of the independent Detroit music scene. Talking to Allison and later watching The Juliets perform made me realize that there is some great music being made in Detroit. In fact, in the course of that conversation I even learned that one of my favorite songs was done by another Detroit band that Allison was connected to.
I'm a huge fan of the FX series Rescue Me, and the Detroit-based Von Bondies are the band behind the show's awesome theme song "C'mon C'mon". Rescue Me is set in Brooklyn. That's probably why I imagined the band that did the theme song was also from Brooklyn. Nope. It was a Detroit connect all the way.
Which all this interconnectedness, it occurred to me to ask Allison if she knew the person in one of my early and most favorite photos from TPOD, Student | Rocker. I pulled the photo up on my iPod, showed it to Allison and she immediately responded,
"Yea, that's Molly."
There is a definite interconnectedness in Detroit. I've long said that if you stand in any one place in the city for more than a hour, you'll happen across everyone you have ever known. There especially seems to be an increased level of connectivity amongst the artistic crowd. And it also seems that the artistic class is at the vanguard of this city's resurgence.
That artistic-class resurgence was recently profiled in a documentary sponsored by Palladium Boots. The documentary, hosted by Johnny Knoxville of all people, details how entrepreneurial and artistically-minded people are coming to Detroit to execute their vision (Allison moved to Detroit's Cass Corridor from the outlying, lake-dotted, almost rural suburb of Waterford, Michigan).
I posted the video to my page on Facebook and got some peculiar responses. One of my black, expatriate Detroiter friends was somewhat disturbed by what she characterized as an invasion of white outsiders and the possible cultural, financial and physical dislocation that results from people with resources moving into low-income communities.
I found a couple of points of contention with her view. First, I don't have any problems with "outsiders". If you come to Detroit and are contributing to it's vitality, you are a Detroiter. Period.
Second, if well-to-do black people don't like well-to-do white people gentrifying Detroit, move your well-to-do black ass to the city.
My good friend Tracy made an observation about gentrification that I thought was poignant. She said, "they are mad at the white people when they leave and mad when they come back."
That said, there's nothing that says gentrification has to be undertaken exclusively by white people. But some level of gentrification by some kind of people is needed, and that gentrification is the unavoidable byproduct of revitalization. Detroit can't just be full of poor people forever.
Plus, not all of the people moving here are moving here with bags of cash. Some of them are people of modest resources and lofty ambition. Also, not everyone here with lofty ambitions is from outside of the city.
Regarding those outsiders who are moving to the city, I would hope that people with historical roots in the city would welcome anyone who comes here and has something to contribute. Because ultimately, everyone in this city has a fate that is interconnected.

"Kingston General Hospital National Historic Site of Canada is a complex of limestone hospital buildings of classically inspired design, built between 1833 and 1924. The seven interconnected buildings that make up the national historic site are set within a larger hospital campus of post-1924 buildings, known as Kingston General Hospital. The hospital is located in the city of Kingston, on the southern edge of Queen’s University Campus and adjacent to Lake Ontario. The original hospital building (Main Building, 1833-5) and its two lateral wings (the Watkins Wing, 1862; and the Nickle Wing, 1890-1) face northward onto Stuart Street." - info from Historic Places.
"Kingston is a city in Ontario, Canada, on the northeastern end of Lake Ontario. It is at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River and at the mouth of the Cataraqui River, the south end of the Rideau Canal. Kingston is midway between Toronto, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec, and is also near the Thousand Islands, a tourist region to the east, and the Prince Edward County tourist region to the west. Kingston is nicknamed the "Limestone City" because it has many heritage buildings constructed using local limestone.
Growing European exploration in the 17th century and the desire for the Europeans to establish a presence close to local Native occupants to control trade led to the founding of a French trading post and military fort at a site known as "Cataraqui" (generally pronounced /kætəˈrɒkweɪ/ ka-tə-ROK-way) in 1673. The outpost, called Fort Cataraqui, and later Fort Frontenac, became a focus for settlement. After the Conquest of New France (1759–1763), the site of Kingston was relinquished to the British. Cataraqui was renamed Kingston after the British took possession of the fort, and Loyalists began settling the region in the 1780s.
Kingston was named the first capital of the United Province of Canada on February 10, 1841. While its time as a capital city was short and ended in 1844, the community has remained an important military installation. The city is a regional centre of education and health care, being home to two major universities, a large vocational college, and three major hospitals.
Kingston was the county seat of Frontenac County until 1998. Kingston is now a separate municipality from the County of Frontenac. Kingston is the largest municipality in southeastern Ontario and Ontario's 10th largest metropolitan area. John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada lived in Kingston." - info from Wikipedia.

The ever expansive yet interconnected Sea and Love. A third picture for the series. Here a couple is holding hands as the lanterns pass them by.
Balangay themed lanterns at the University of the Philippines Lantern Parrade. December 2013.
Notice how the way the ships (the balangay) are carried produce a flowing movement that make it seem as if the ships are sailing through a vast sea. Notice, also, the fish attached by strings to the sides of the ships. This reinforces the flowing motion of the ships through the swimming-like motions of the fish. This also reinforces the ships' sailing through a vast sea.
From this, it's as if we are all in a vast sea headed towards a destination. And in this sea, we can also find Love no matter how vast it is; or rather, we are meant to find Love. (Ang Pagibig).

In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang , which is often called "yin and yang",is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many natural dualities (such as light and dark, high and low, hot and cold, fire and water, life and death, and so on) are thought of as physical manifestations of the yin-yang concept. The concept lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (instead of opposing) forces interacting to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation.

Et puis, Messieurs les encostumés et Mesdâmes les enjuponnées, veuillez construire des pistes cyclables interconnectées et nettoyées avec si nécessaire une partie pour les piétons séparée.
Actuellement, les bandes, pistes et voies cyclables, les bas-côtés des routes sont encombrés de petits déchets qui augmentent la probabilité de crevaison de manière exponentielle et du coup les cyclistes ne peuvent pas raisonnablement y rouler!
C'est un comble, tout de même!
Et puis le but est d'encourager les citoyens à se déplacer à vélo plutôt qu'en voiture, mais à vélo on ne peut pas rouler car en plus de la probabilité accrue de crevaison, les pistes, bandes et voies cyclables sont encombrées de piétons, de chiens et de voitures et camions!

The Kö-Bogen I and II projects in Düsseldorf, Germany, represent a major urban revitalization effort that has transformed a former elevated motorway and traffic hub into a modern, pedestrian-friendly city center. The projects were conceived as two distinct but interconnected architectural ensembles that re-establish the connection between the city's main shopping street, Königsallee, and the Hofgarten park. Both projects feature cutting-edge, sustainable design and have received international recognition for their innovative approach to urban planning and architecture. The overall goal was to create a new, vibrant public space that prioritizes pedestrians and greenery, while also housing high-end retail and office spaces.
Kö-Bogen I was the first phase of the project, completed in 2013, and was designed by the renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. The ensemble consists of two curved buildings, connected by a bridge, which sit on the site of the former elevated motorway. The buildings are characterized by their striking façade of white natural stone and glass, with diagonal incisions that are planted with greenery. These "cuts" are a signature element of Libeskind's design, creating a dynamic visual effect and providing additional shading. The complex houses luxury retail spaces and high-end offices, and its design was intended to create a seamless transition between the urban environment of Königsallee and the natural landscape of the Hofgarten.
Kö-Bogen II, completed in 2020, is perhaps the most iconic part of the development. Designed by Ingenhoven Architects, this commercial and office building ensemble features a spectacular and sustainable design element: Europe's largest green façade. The building is covered in more than 30,000 hornbeam hedges, a native hardwood species that retains its leaves in winter. This greening concept is not just for aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in improving the city's microclimate by absorbing carbon dioxide, reducing urban heat, dampening noise, and promoting biodiversity. The building's sloping facades, which are inspired by Land Art, face the Hofgarten and create a deliberate visual conversation with the neighboring post-war modernist landmarks like the Dreischeibenhaus and Schauspielhaus.
Together, the Kö-Bogen I and II projects have successfully redefined a key area of Düsseldorf's city center. By dismantling a 1960s motorway and replacing it with these architecturally significant and environmentally conscious buildings, the city has transformed a car-centric space into a vibrant, green, and walkable urban destination. The project as a whole has received numerous awards and is considered a lighthouse example of modern "city repair," demonstrating how cities can address climate change and urban design challenges through innovative, sustainable, and people-oriented architecture.
The Dixie Highway was planned out in December 1914 to connect the Midwest with the South, from Chicago to Miami.
By the mid-1920s, the project was largely completed with a network of roads interconnected across 10 states with more than 5,000 miles of paved, bricked road. But, by 1927, Dixie Highway became part of the US Route System, and was therefore, mostly abandoned. But, a portion of it still remains in remote Florida, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2005.
“It’s one of the oldest roads in America,” according to the historian.
Upon on my arrival, I started from south toward north, before I entered, there is a warning: “Travel at your own risk.” And another prohibiting the removal of the bricks in the road. Doing so, it says, warrants prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law.”
The historic stretch of Old Dixie Highway is 10 miles long, and would recommend to drive slowly as there are some thick soft-sand on the road that could cause slide off from the road if driving too fast.
Interesting fact: The brick was manufactured by the Graves Shale Brick Company in Birmingham, Alabama, belonging to a slave-owning man who fought for the Confederacy. It took 237,600 such bricks to build just 1 mile of road, 9 feet wide. Others are with the words "SOUTHERN CLAY MFG CO” for the Southern Clay Manufacturing Company in Tennessee.

State Heritage listed Hart’s Mill of 1855 – the oldest building in the complex.
Harts Mill is a complex of interconnected buildings and structure. The earliest is the prominent limestone building on the corner of Mundy Street, built by Captain Hart in 1855.
He was a significant figure in the young colony of South Australia. He was three times Premier of South Australia and an instigator of much of the development of Port Adelaide.
The former Adelaide Milling Company mill site at Port Adelaide is the longest continuously serving flour milling enterprise in South Australia, operating from 1855 to 1980. The two major buildings constitute an important landmark in the Port.
The building was the largest and most technologically advanced mill in South Australia and at the time was claimed to be the best in the southern hemisphere. It was designed to create an export market for the State's produce, and successfully shipped flour around the world.
The iconic tall red brick building was constructed in 1884, at which time the Adelaide Milling Company was owner of the mill. The building was completed to the design and supervision of Henry Simon and Co, milling engineers in England who also equipped the building. The interior was severely damaged by fire in 1905: following the insurance payout of £10,357 the mill was rebuilt and re-equipped, again by Henry Simon. It continued to operate until 1980.
Obituary
John Hart, mariner, merchant and parliamentarian, was born on 25 February 1809 in England. He went to sea at 12 and visited Hobart Town in September 1828 as a seaman in the ‘Magnet’. In November 1829 as second mate in the ‘Britannia’ he went to Western Australia and then became well acquainted with the southern coast from Perth to Sydney. In 1832 he was master of the ‘Elizabeth’, owned and built by John Griffiths at Launceston, and often visited Kangaroo Island to land and pick up sealers and collect seal and wallaby skins and salt.
Hart retired from the sea in 1846 and settled in Adelaide. He bought and leased land in various parts of the colony, ran cattle and acted as agent for absentees. He also invested in copper mines at the Burra, Paringa and Montacute in 1845, Princess Royal and Mount Remarkable in 1846 and Yorke's Peninsula in 1848. He was also a director of the Forest Iron Smelting and Steam Sawing Co at Cox's Creek and a copper-smelting venture at Port Adelaide but lost heavily on mineral land at North Kapunda.
In 1849 he had helped to form the short-lived Adelaide Marine Association Co and the company intending to build a railway from Adelaide to the port: later he bought shares in the National and the Union Banks.
Perhaps his best-known achievement was at Port Adelaide where in 1855 he built a flourmill with twice the grinding capacity of any other in the province, believing that South Australia was to be the granary of the continent.
Hart was elected in 1851 to the Legislative Council for the district of Victoria, resigned in 1853 to visit England and was re-elected in 1854. In the House of Assembly he represented Port Adelaide in 1857-59 and 1862-66, Light in 1868-70 and the Burra in 1870-73. He was treasurer under Baker in 1857, Hanson in 1857-58, (Sir) Henry Ayers in 1863 and in 1864, and (Sir) Arthur Blyth in 1864-65. He was chief secretary under Francis Dutton in July 1863 and led his own ministries in 1865-66, 1868 and 1870-71 when he introduced the title of premier.
While Hart was in office he planned George Goyder's survey expedition and carried the bill for the overland telegraph to Darwin although he criticized its route through Port Augusta.
He was appointed CMG in 1870 and died suddenly on 28 January 1873 while chairing a meeting in Adelaide. He was survived by his wife and a large family, to whom he left an estate valued at more than £50,000. A son, John, represented Port Adelaide in the House of Assembly in 1880-81.

Fortress Peovica, the Omiš castle was erected on six interconnected levels , on the steep crags that step down from the Omiška Dinara mountain towards the river Cetina. The fortified complex is dominated by the tall 13th century romanesque tower, called Peovica, which is notable for its secret secondary exit at the rear. Today there is almost nothing left of the original contents of the fortress, but it is known that there were once several buildings including the dwelling of Herceg (duke) Stipan Vukčić Kosača, one of the medieval lords of Omiš. The main tower was restored after it was partly demolished by a thunder bolt.

Tvrđava Peovica, omiški kaštel podignut je na šest međusobno povezanih razina, na strmim stijenama koje se s Omiške Dinare spuštaju prema rijeci Cetini. Utvrđenim kompleksom dominira visoka romanička kula iz 13. stoljeća, zvana Peovica, koja je poznata po svom tajnom izlazu na stražnjoj strani. Od izvornog sadržaja tvrđave danas nije ostalo gotovo ništa, ali se zna da je tu nekada bilo nekoliko građevina među kojima i stan hercega Stipana Vukčića Kosače, jednog od srednjovjekovnih omiških gospodara. Glavna kula je obnovljena nakon što ju je djelomično srušio udar groma.
Design Thinking can be understood as a series of overlapping and interconnected principles that revolve around a unified concept of holistic thought and action.
An invention that is narrowly focused on solving a single problem often inadvertently creates more problems because nature is highly complex and interconnected. --Javier Fernandez-Han, Age 15
