New Hashima Chicago
|04 Old City|02 Inner City|08 Corpo|
As we round out the year and look back, I realized we didn't actually post some edited shots of the thing I spent ... well basically the last year and more working on ... .along with Stefan and a massive team of 80 people we created New Hashima - a massive Cyber City.
I've seen and been a part of a lot of amazing builds and collaborations over the years, but I have never seen anything like this in the community. At 20x20 feet, and upwards of 13 feet tall, this thing was not just a massive build - but each builder put their hearts and soul into their portion creating a real breathing city, including so many angles and sections that couldn't possibly be seen on the layout.
This collab was so large it was basically organized as four separate collabs that fit together in a three pronged configuration:
02 - Inner City - The powerful and elite city core, which served as the center , where each of the following connected lead by Stefan
04 - Old City - a crumbling and seedy city center run by Mike
06 - Docks - Space Port and industrial super complex run by Simon
08 - Corpo - the original BFVA 22 New Hashima sector run by Stefan
So here's some cleaned up photos for those that missed it.
Special thanks to Blake Foster for taking Photographs, Stefan for the shiny new logo and Waffles for the cool background.

This remote mountaintop Classical temple was an unexpected gem -- it hadn’t even been on our radar, but the guesthouse owner in Dimitsana recommended it. The temple here has survived largely intact since antiquity. It was in use until the 4th or 5th century CE, when all pagan temples were forcibly closed. Its remote location provided some protection against both the marauders of the early Christian era who carried out depaganization and iconoclasm campaigns and the acid rain of the modern era that emanated from cities. Some restoration work was undertaken starting in 1902. The temple is currently undergoing intensive stabilization efforts and archaeological investigations and is completely enclosed by an impressive tent erected in 1987 to protect it from further weathering (both from rain and from daily temperature excursions). During our visit some archaeologists were at work in a roped-off active section, with Bach’s Brandenburgs wafting out of their enclosure. Adapted from the interpretive signs:
Built in a quiet and isolated site, within the high and barren mountains of western Arcadia in Bassae, at an altitude of 1,131 m, the Temple of Apollo Epikourios holds a special place in the history of Greek architecture. The mountain is scored with ravines (bassai or bessai in ancient Greek), which gave the place the name "Bassae". The so-called "Parthenon of the Peloponnese", built by Iktinos [architect of the Parthenon] in 420–400 BCE according to a tradition recorded by Pausanias [2nd c CE], is one of the best surviving examples of Classical architecture, combining conservative and innovative features.
Some architectural members uncovered in the area probably belong to an Archaic temple at the same site, built in phases around 600 and 500 BCE. The ancient Arcadian city Phigaleia, founder of the sanctuary, was approx. 13 km southwest of the temple. In the Archaic period (in 629 BCE), the people of Phigaleia, helped by their neighbors the Oresthasians, retook their land from the Spartans. To honor Apollo, they erected a temple and they worshiped him as Epikouros, which means assistant in evils of war. Later (429 BCE), by the name Epikourios, they worshiped him as a healer god because they considered themselves to have been saved by him from the plague that struck at the time of the Peloponnesian War.
The temple of the Classical period that the visitors enjoy today combines several Archaic characteristics, influenced by the conservative religious tradition of the Arcadians, and the new features of the Classical era. The building is made of local grey limestone, while parts of the roof, the capitals of the cella and the sculptured decoration are made of marble. The Classical temple was erected on the bedrock of a specially built terrace. Like several other temples of Arcadia, it is orientated north–south, instead of the usual east–west, probably because of local tradition.
The monument is unique, as it combines elements of the three architectural orders of antiquity. It is Doric peripteral distyle in antis, with pronaos, cella, adyton and opisthodomos. [The roof was of stone.] The temple has 6 columns on the short and 15 on the long sides, instead of the period’s usual ratio of 6 × 13. That feature gives the temple its characteristic elongated shape, an echo of Archaic temples. A Doric frieze of undecorated metopes and triglyphs ran along the outer facades. Only the inner metopes of the short sides were decorated: those on the pronaos had depictions of Apollo's return to Olympus from the countries "beyond the north", and those on the opisthodomos represented the capture of the daughters of the Messenian king Leukippos by the Dioskouroi. The pediments may have been undecorated. The most eminent decorative feature of the temple was the marble Ionic frieze, supported by the Ionic half-columns in the cella. Paionios, who created the splendid statue of Nike in Olympia, was probably the sculptor of the frieze. The frieze was thirty-one meters long and consisted of 23 marble slabs, 12 of which depicted the battle between Greeks and Amazons and the remaining 11 of which showed the battle between Lapiths and Centaurs.
During the first systematic excavation of the temple, held by foreign antiquaries in 1812, the slabs were discovered under various architectural members. The same survey found the oldest known Corinthian capital, but it has not survived [it was taken by the British and lost at sea]. After its looting by the so-called "excavators", the frieze and other sculptures of the temple were transferred to England. They arrived in the British Museum in 1815, where they are now exhibited.
The temple to Amun-Ra at Hibis, mostly built between 700–500 BC, is still largely intact up to the roof. The inner chapels are dim, illuminated only by rectangular portals in the ceiling.

Late eclectic building, built in 1902 for Hornbostel Bruno (1871-1907), chemist and perfume factory owner. His occupation is the reason of appearing Hygeia on the facade.

This week's prompt is "My Inner Child" for the Instagram project #portraitsofme. I didn't participate last week since I was traveling home from Orlando and I was sooo tired. This week's prompt was easy for me because I actively work on staying in touch with my inner child. Having kids makes it easy, and Anna in many way will always be a child, so parenting her keeps my spirit young. My mom also makes it easy; she's always enjoyed coloring and always had a modest collection of adult coloring books and pencils as long as I can remember. Once she retired, she really got into more after the adult coloring book craze hit the mainstream. Since then, she's invested in quality coloring pencils (Prismacolor and Faber-Castell are the best) and has a gorgeous collection of coloring books. We don't color together as much as we used to, but it's fun to work on our pages together when we can find the time. Mom, thanks for sharing your creative space and beautiful supplies with me!
I saw the bit on her inner ankle when she stooped to unlock her bike, and I asked to take a photo. (I really need to learn to say, "can I take your photo *just as you are right now*? don't move!") The outer leg really was more impressive; I'm just sad I couldn't get more of the bike in the frame, too.
I think this was the inspiration, incidentally, for the tattoos the Beaner drew on us while we were having coffee a few minutes later.

The design and formation of any flower is quite a mystery and a miracle to me. As somebody said, you can look at the universe in two way: 1. Everything is a miracle or 2. Nothing is a miracle. What's your perspective?
The Inner Passageway runs around the back half of the temple, entered from the Hypostyle Hall, and is decorated with reliefs and inscriptions

“If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to the truth; and second, the courage to follow this light wherever it may lead.”
Karl von Clausewitz
