Villa Tugendhat is a historical building in the wealthy neighbourhood of Černá Pole in Brno, Czech Republic. It is one of the pioneering prototypes of modern architecture in Europe, and was designed by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Built of reinforced concrete between 1928–1930 for Fritz Tugendhat and his wife Greta, the villa soon became an icon of modernism.
THE HOUSING PHILOSOPHY
CAN THE TUGENDHAT VILLA BE LIVED IN?
This provocative question was voiced by the art historian Justus Bier. This was a reaction to an article on the new structure of the Brno Villa in the magazine 'Die Form' which was published in the year 1931 by the publisher himself Walter Riezler. The commissioners themselves entered into the polemic on the theme as to whether “the Tugendhat Villa can be lived in” with their reactions supplemented with a text by the architect Ludwig Hilberseimer. The Tugendhats rejected the view that the monumental, impassioned living space would only allow for a kind of ceremonial or showpiece housing, and in contrast expressed their complete satisfaction with its variable character. The unforced domestic calm also radiates from the family photographs by Fritz Tugendhat who was a photo enthusiast and amateur filmmaker.
From the philosophical perspective the Tugendhat Villa particularly reflects the influence of the German Catholic Modern movement. The American art historian Barry Bergdoll as well as the Czech art historian Rostislav Švácha have pointed out in this connection the ideas of the philosopher Romano Guardini, one of the most significant figures of German Christian Personalism. Mies had met with Guardini and his ideas had additionally influenced Grete Tugendhat. “Large spaces provide freedom. Space has a completely special calm in its rhythm which cannot be provided by a closed room.” The snaps by Fritz Tugendhat are genuine personal interpretation of space in contrast with the 'official' photographs of the architecture. “When I allow these spaces and everything which is inside them to influence me as whole, I clearly feel: what beauty is, what is truth.” The Tugendhats apparently knew Guardini’s views or at least discussed them with Mies. Guardini’s works, which came about at the same time as the design of the Villa, state that a well-built internal space has levels which lead into depths. This is precisely the manner in which one enters downward into the space of Tugendhat Villa the intimate character of which is protected by the stern street section of the house.
Art historical theories and interpretations of not only Tugendhat Villa but Mies’ work in general will continue to stimulate generations of art historians and architecture theoreticians. Up until now almost all of them have agreed that the essence of the Brno realization was the arrangement of the main living space and its connection up with the external outdoors. One of the starting points was undoubtedly the ideas of F. L. Wright and his “open plan” which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries removed the four walls demarcating the rooms allowing for the emergence of a continual space with a connection to the exterior of the structure. Mies van der Rohe himself did not write anything about the Brno Villa, but he did discuss the conception in detail with his educated clients.
This country’s leading, and by coincidence also from Brno, art historians view “the loose” and “the open” space of the house as analogical to the architecture of the Middle Ages and the Baroque. Václav Richter compared Mies’ space conception with Santini’s radical Baroque space in the pilgrimage church on Zelená hora near Žďár nad Sázavou. Richter’s student Zdeněk Kudělka has made reference to the Neo-Gothic aspects of this space which is enhanced by a cross-like connected profile of steel supporting columns and the mirror-like gloss of its chrome cladding. These interpretations coincide with Richter’s remarkable periodization of the history of “the open” architectural space which was in his view only fulfilled in the Gothic, in the radical Baroque and in the skeleton architecture of the 20th century.
Mies’ student Philip Johnson and after him the Swiss architecture historian Sigfried Giedion have interpreted the interior of the Brno Villa as “a flowing” space whose “flow” is only gently channelled by the lines of the onyx and the Macassar inner wall in harmony with the regular rhythm of the supporting columns and the carefully placed furniture.
The period Czechoslovak specialised journals ostentatiously ignored Mies' realization in Brno. The only positive evaluation of the building in the domestic press came from the exclusive society magazine Měsíc (Month) which presented the Villa as one of the crowning expressions of contemporary aesthetic and technical maturity. The negative attitude by Czech specialised circles would thus seem to foreshadow the painful future of both the Villa and its inhabitants.

Maison Guiette, Populierenlaan 32, Antwerp – architect Le Corbusier – 1926
House Guiette is, together with a house in Weissenhof in Stuttgart, the only realization of the "Maison Citrohan", one of the early theoretical house designs by Le Corbusier, also the only surviving work of Le Corbusier in Belgium. In designing the house Guiette Le Corbusier showed the possibilities of the Citrohan type by adaptation to the available budget, the wishes of the client and the building regulations of the city. Designed in 1926 as a home-studio for painter Rene Guiette, built in 1926-27 under the supervision of P. Smekens and restored after years of vacancy to a design by G. Baines in 1987. Unfortunately the interior of the house cannot be visited.
The original painting of the interior was completely restored in the restoration. Indeed for Le Corbusier colour is an important element that emphasizes the spatial properties of the architecture. Le Corbusier came in May 1927 at the spot to determine the colors. He wanted to enlighten and open the spaces to give the walls in each room a different color. Basically in the whole house the parallel walls were painted in the same color. The separation wall and connecting parts in the living room, staircase, master bedroom and roof are white, the wall surfaces of front and rear and parallel thereto walls ultramarine green, the outer wall of the living and the curved wall of the stairwell on the top floor were painted pink, the walls of the cloakroom and the overflow in burnt sienna, a red tint, for the sake of harmony with open doors, the dividing wall between kitchen and living on both sides of burnt umber. The bedrooms and the roof were treated as separate entities. In the master bedroom were ultramarine (facade and parallel separation wall with bathroom), burnt umber (side wall) and light (ceiling) is used. The children's bedroom is to the privacy and intimacy of the room to emphasize, fully painted in ocher. On the roof terrace with white wall of separation is the opposite side wall and the other English green walls pink. T complete the color palette three shades of gray and white were used. White was-except in the bedrooms-used in every room (including ceilings) and predominates in studio and service spaces such as kitchen, toilet, bathroom, storage rooms and stairwell. During the restoration, the original flooring of black or off-white tiles was preserved and restored, where it could not be done it was replaced by parquet flooring. Furthermore, continued to maintain the original austere lighting.
"Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 (Catholic Bible verson).
When I see this moment of hands reaching out to God in prayer, in community, it illustrates to me the outword expression of the inner faith of a community of prayers, in belief of what is hoped for.
Said another way, sometimes, when we don't have answers or can't provide a soulution, praying to God and trusting Him in faith has proven to do what we can not. In His time and not in ours.
God wants us to depend on Him, and Loves us to the point to provide us the freedom to make that decision.

Project 1994-1996, realization 1997-1999
Architect: Herzog & De Meuron
The new library is a simple rectangular construction with three similar stories for free access libraries. The tables, chairs and shelves have a regular repetitive arrangement. A glazed landscape links this new construction to a historic building where the administration staff work and books are stored.
The exterior aspect of the building is reminiscent of a warehouse structure formed by three stacked containers. This effect is due to the wide glass grooves running around the façade which seem to separate the stories between them. The clear reflection-free daylight enters deeply into the building through these big slashes. The small rectangular apertures are arranged in accordance with the individual workplaces and essentially provide views and spatial orientation to the outside.
The prefabricated concrete panels are similar to the glass belts of the groove-windows, and are imprinted thanks to specialized experience in screen-printing. The basis for the motifs for the prints is photos discovered by the artist Thomas Ruff in magazines he accumulated over the years in his private collection. From this collection he selected the appropriate motifs and arranged them in the horizontal belts running around the façade. The imprint on the entire façade unifies the surface; the differences between concrete and glass seem to be annulled.

I have tried my level best. And That's your life and your way.It has become unbearable and unhealthy for me. Exhausted me leaving you ....
A surreal take on an aspect of my self care and recent spirituality journey. The pandemic has come with its difficulties but also granted me the gift of solitude. Through this, I grew my relationship with myself more and removed all distractions (people and materials) and am happier than I have ever been.

Limitation of Atma (self)-Realization
To what extent does ãtmã-realisation actually help at the time of death?"
Shriji Mahãrãj replied, "When faced with the task of crossing a river, one who knows how to swim can cross it, whereas one who is unable to swim will be left standing. However, when faced with the task of crossing an ocean, both require the aid of a ship. Similarly, a river - in the form of the dualities of cold and heat, hunger and thirst, honor and insult, happiness and misery - may be crossed by a person with ãtmã-realisation; death, however, is like an ocean. In that case, both a person with ãtmã-realisation and a person without it require the help of a ship in the form of faith in God. Therefore, only the firm refuge of God is helpful at the time of death, whereas ãtmã-realisation alone is of no use whatsoever at the time of death. For this reason, one should firmly cultivate faith in God."

This five shot sequence begins with the realization by the Great Blue Heron that I am close by and have a long lens pointed at him. As this becomes clear in the heron's mind, the heron (instead of flying off) slowly turns and walks ashore hoping to find a more private place.
This picture was taken about 2 years ago!
It's so crazy too, cause I remember exactly what was going
on in my life at that time!!!
It really makes me realize how thankful
I am to have the certain ppl I have in my life now!!
I recently made the realization that I could take my coupled Pentax 6x7 lenses and hold them onto my 5DII body and replicate the floralscape macros I normally do with that much larger camera on my digital. This has reinvigorated my love of this type of photography and I have spent many an afternoon lately crouching and crawling around in the grass of my front and back yard looking for images, even at the expense of at least one cold dinner. Of course, when I find a good one I usually go in and load up the Pentax and come back out with that and make the image on film rather than digital. But not every time. Seeing as how long it has been since I posted any of these, two today ought to be a nice revisiting. I'll do one made recently on my Pentax and one made on my DSLR (but with the same lenses).

I had a realization today. I realize why I love college so much. Because everything still feels like summer, it’s like those giant gaps of boredom from before is filled with a few classes, then I go to work like I usually do and then go home. On days I don’t have work; I finish school and spend time with my friends. Anyway, today I began with work nothing too awful, we were really busy taking a lot of sessions, and I photographed about ten session total, and then did one sale. I also found out I have the third highest sales record of our studio (9 people), over this past month. I think I made a total of about one hundred dollars because I had been selling such high priced packages. (I get $2-6 in extra money for every sale we make over one hundred). We had new people tanning today as well which means I no longer a “newbie,” I guess the two of them have worked for the company before but that was back when they used film. I really am trying to like them but they are both really disrespectful, I try and not judge people as much as I can, but they just were really…arrogant toward someone who they were supposed to be watching (they were watching one of our top salespeople do a sale), The one wasn’t paying attention at all, and the other started to act as if she knew what she was talking about. I know they have worked there before, but they don’t anymore, it’s a new system and then need to start form them bottom… oh well some people just have those weird personalities.
After work I went home and finished off a nice old classic bottled sprite I found in our mall’s sub shop. The guy was really nice and I bought it for two bucks. Since I worked in the vintage soda business before I’ve seen my fair share of bottles, but I had never seen a classic sprite bottle yet, so I had to get my hands on one. Especially today being over 100 degree weather and being in a work uniform consisting of ALL BLACK. Then after lunch I went to dinner with my girlfriend and saw X-Men first class at the three dollar theater. It was fantastic!
My girlfriend snapped this photo for me, the sunset rays were gorgeous and I couldn't take it since I was driving. I talked her through the settings. So lucky to have her! :)
Happy Friday Everyone!
