Sanatorium Zonnestraal, Hilversum NL, 1926-1928, architects Duiker, Bijvoet & Wiebenga - the architects/structural engineers designed the Sanatorium Zonnestraal near Hilversum in The Netherlands, completed in 1928. This cutting-edge design changed the way the world considered hospitals, by discarding the dark, unsanitary buildings of the past. Early twentieth century designs emphasized air circulation and access to sunlight. This innovation was so successful that many upscale homes placed sleeping quarters outside on balconies. The composition of glass, concrete, and steel in this structure continues to be copied in many modern homes. Three main buildings of three parallel wings contain treatment facilities and staff quarters. The infirmary houses 28 patients, specifically tuberculosis patients. Spatial relationships are clear and direct. The white concrete is brilliantly subservient to the airy and light atmosphere. There is no telling how much this project improved the quality of life for sick and mentally ill people all over the world. It is a triumph of Modernism. A major restoration took place from 2001. The main building is totally restored. From the remaining original pavilion the structure and facades have been restored. The interior is waiting for a new user.
Luckily I had bought some new ones - had them delivered to Bobby's in the USA and Bobby sent them over with the synth. Here the old buffers are removed and the new ones are in place. Also those plastic caps on the levers are about to get a new coating of silicone grease..! I did these eight at a time so I could keep track.
This truck had no brake lights on the freeway. So i called the number on the truck and told them about it.
Also, they appear to be a business that you can call to restore a disaster... like, if you miss the way your house looked after the hurricane, they could come in and throw your stuff around, drop a tree on your roof, and flip your car upside down on your lawn. Weird.
