Hippo giving us a big yawn. The animal that causes the most human deaths in Africa is the mosquito. Second is the hippo. Maybe you can see how.
Photo kindly contributed by Richard Guha, who thinks that the three on the right are himself, Nick Moore, and possibly Jeremy Ward (behind). John Morris thinks that the boy with the balloon may be a young Peter Dawson, although he didn't attend the school as a pupil until 1965. Any further comments?

dcion.diandian.com/post/2013-01-03/40047124332: Social reading, Vannesla library by Helen & WardJonah, Ahab and Pinocchio have something in common: they were all bred from the pages of a book and all ended up in the bowels of a whale, a closed and mysterious world, to then be reborn.With a bit of imagination, entering a library or simply reading a book can be a similar experience. As is known to the architects of Helen & Ward, who designed a multifunctional library in Vennesla, whose interiors resemble the belly of an enormous wooden whale.The new library incorporates a cafè, meeting places, an administrative area and connects a learning center to a pre-existing community house according to principles of relational design.A large glass façade, an external loggia which dialogues with the urban environment and an internal passage make the center a place that is open to the public, easily accessible and hospitable.The project is supported by a veritable skeleton composed of 27 "ribs", hybrid elements that fuse structure, infrastructure, furniture and interiors in a single architectural element.Each "rib" is an acoustic-absorbent multilayered and multifunctional panel, from which the air ducts and columns pass. The modules serve also as niches, lighting covers and tables. An idea that won the library a class A standing for its low energy consumption according to Norvegian standards.感谢toking(QQ空间)的投稿 :) 来自http://dd.mu/sZ37r
