We acknowledge with appreciation the outstanding realization of Sol LeWitt’s mural designs executed by Yi Soonjoo and her team within the Sigmund-Freud-Institut Frankfurt/Main, where three entire floors were transformed into immersive environments reflecting the conceptual rigor of LeWitt’s oeuvre.
In conjunction with this prominent undertaking, Yi Soonjoo and her team also meticulously executed LeWitt’s mural designs at three additional significant locations in Frankfurt: the Dresdner Bank main building, the main court building Frankfurt/Main, and the Rückriem studio at Daimlerstraße, part of the Städel’s facilities.
These projects collectively stand as a testament to the precision, dedication, and fidelity with which Yi Soonjoo and her team brought to life Sol LeWitt’s visionary and structurally complex wall drawings, enriching Frankfurt’s architectural and cultural landscape.

Sybil: “Ah… Fine. What are you going to do about it?”
Ben (stares at her surprised): “Do? Me? Nothing. You can’t take the misery outta Elliot. He just likes to brood and feel sorry for himself. That’s his way of coping, I guess. He’ll be like that for a while, but it’ll blow over when he realizes how useless it is or when he gets something more interesting to do. That’s how he reacts to stress. Besides, he’s attending therapy now. It’s supposed to help him get rid of the ghosts in his past, right?”
Sybil (miserably): “That’s not the way I remember him…”
Ben (snorts amused): “Well, you’d be surprised to learn how time changes a person. He’s not the person I met a bit over seven years ago either – thank God! If you want my honest opinion, I like him much better now.” (winks at her with a smirk)
Sybil (turns even more miserable): “I guess… I’m also to blame for the way he was back when you met him…”
Ben (touches her shoulder compassionately): “Hey, don’t you start blaming yourself, too. Like I said, I like him much better now. I reckon you’ve got something to do with that as well. (smiles at her) He can’t stop talking about how much he loves you. Quite frankly, I’m surprised that he hasn’t put a ring on your finger yet. He already made me promise to be his best man at the wedding.”
Sybil (stares at him surprised): “Oh… Really?”
Ben (smiles at her warmly): “Really. And I totally approve, in case that was unclear. (realization hits) Oh sh*t! I just gave away his intentions…”
Sybil (smiles shortly): “That’s alright. I’m not expecting him to do anything like that, to be honest… (turns serious again) Things have changed between us. And that’s what I’m concerned about. (whispers to him) Are you telling me you haven’t noticed anything strange about his behavior at all? I mean, recently?”
Ben (confused): “Like what? He feels blue, but we knew that already. Maybe with his eccentric personality it’s just a bit more electric than what it is for other people.”
Sybil (whispers): “He’s sleeping right now.”
Ben (shrugs): “So? I take naps during the day, too. We often rehearse till late hours.”
Sybil (still whispers): “How late exactly?”
Ben: “Nine, ten… sometimes till midnight.”
Sybil (raises her voice surprised): “Then why does he usually come home no earlier than in the late morning hours?”
Ben (stares at her eyes wide open): “Does he? Well… Hmm… Now that you asked me about any stranger than Elliot-strange behavior… He lashed out at Del last week over something really stupid… The day he did that Australian interview. He was quick to apologize, though. Oh yeah, and he threw a tantrum that day we shot Anissa’s jewelry line. I almost forgot about that. And then there was that day when he boozed with his mom and was quite rude to you… But he apologized for all that right after.”
Sybil (eyes widen): “See?! This is what I mean! Those sudden mood changes from aggressive to overly mellow and apologizing! I get my fair share of them, too. You don’t think he has relapsed, do you? Or do you call that normal?”

Today I finally surfed again, paddled out to Rockaway beach, 51 degree water, winds offshore, 3-4ft waves and it just hit me, Happiness. My heart is so full. I realize that it doesn't take much to be happy, serving Jah, a Board and some waves:) so forget about that girl and Gaining her affections, forget about what those people think of your decisions and the ways you want to go with your life, forget about what people say, Forget about what you don't have right now, forget about your problems that you cant solve right this instant, and be happy. We have a long way to go in this life, so why not walk the road happy, Jah will bless you with that special someone, you will stick to Jehovah and live the life that makes you happy, not anyone else, you will have what you need and more, and those problems will be solved when that day comes. i know that this moment of clarity might become clouded in time again so thats why i write this to remember and to help me realize this again when i need it. All this will require work, but being Happy is worth it.

I just got off the phone with sasha, and because the realization was so important, I need to document it.
She called me to tell me her thoughts about a movie we watched tonight. i'd found it so hopeful, and inspiring, and she was not so sure. she called to tell me she thought the main character was selfish – he had gone through the entire movie not thinking of anyone but himself. His wife, though also lost, had tried to improve their life together, only to be turned away, numbly. His son had run away from home, and the main character didn't do any more than read the note he'd left and sit down. He felt so completely numb, and closed off, until he opened up to this girl, this girl he happened to love, and suddenly felt things.
I couldn't disagree on how selfish he was, but I still felt as strongly hopeful, and didn't like him any less. It concerned me a bit how much I related to him, and all of a sudden, we started talking about my innermost emotions.
The last time I felt so fulfilled was just before I left California, and when I went back a year later to regain that feeling, things had changed. I had tried moving to Boston, to find it no different. I had tried moving home, to the same effect. I tried going to bars, shows, dates. Things I didn't want to do, but figured people would be there. I hung out with friends, and I didn't understand why sometimes I could still drive home feeling unsatisfied, as if after an entire evening together, we'd only really chatted about the weather.
It took a while of opening up before I realized much at all. I admitted, out loud to a real human being, how lonely I've been. How much I hold myself responsible for my own unhappiness in the past year. How I feel like I failed by leaving LA in the first place, leaving a fantastic happy Micah to be a depressed and despondent one, but that all the things I'd tried, moving from Boston to LA again, and everything in between, had failed horribly. I didn't expect there was anything more I could do – that I've felt that no matter what I try, I can't get it right. I said all these things out loud to a person, quite probably for the first time.
And here's where the hope comes in, and here's where the benefit of it lies. She saw things differently, she let me get things out, she analyzed a bit. It isn't that I haven't been trying to change my state of mind; maybe I've been going about it the wrong way. But I truly did not know the right way, I felt like I'd tried everything. I had only myself to count on, and I beat myself up for making the mistakes I've made. She didn't tell me not to – she suggested that I might need to open up to people. I'm so closed, I really am. I haven't talked about any of this. I'm not honest all the time, and I just don't trust people besides myself. And I'm starting to not trust myself, while I'm at it. People are best when they count on other people, when they lean and let lean, when they push and pull, but most of what I've been doing is pushing.
I've taught myself to be confident before – to trust my instincts, to be proud of the things I do, to appreciate most of who I am. And learning those things was what made California as great as it was. But in that time, I had one very convenient tool at my disposal. I was in a school, surrounded by people like me, surrounded by tons of people that were easy to meet. And I worked on all the other parts, except how to meet and trust and appreciate other people, because it was provided for me. But now, and for the past year, I haven't had that. And that's the piece, that I can see now at least, that's missing. And shit, that's just one piece, I've done more difficult things with less to go on before. I can do that.
Really, this past year I've felt a whole lot of hopeless, and opening up tonight gave me a little hope. Which, at the moment, looks like proof that this could work. A little hope makes a huge difference.
The icon of very American culture Iron Man is now Japanese Samurai, the very soul of Japanese culture! He will eat sushi instead of cheeseburger! It is amazing to see Japanese culture almost in every aspect of our life scenes. They did not win the last war but won the hearts of people over the years with their culture…

I just created a blog. Why? Well because I have decided to pick up my cross and take up a challenge for me to take a verse of the bible every week ponder upon it and then make a design for it. Yes wish me luck no there is no such thing but there is God. Also I have no real knowledge of how to use Illustrator so I will try my best! Enjoy

His mouth was frozen open in a silent scream of horror as he realized that was the last breath he would ever take...
Geomag realization of a large Stewart Toroid. This one is inspired by the Drilled Truncated Dodecahedron, but widened by bands of squares (and other polygons). The original Drilled Truncated Dodecahedron has pairs of triangular faces that have a too-small-for-geomag angle between them. This model inserts a square between them so that the geomags can handle it.. This model probably has an official name somewhere, probably by Stewart, but I don't have his (hard-to-find) book and can't find it online.
The white triple triangles (plus three surrounding metallic blue rods) are supposed to be hexagons, but I don't like to use the rhombic geomag panels to make hexagons -- they end up too floppy and fragile. I ended up leaving them unpanelled, leaving places that are easy to open up to view the true interior of this Toroid.
* The outer shell of this Toroid is a Truncated Icosidodecahedron with Pentagonal Cupolae Excavations, with central Pentagonal Holes.
* The inner shell of this Toroid is a Small Rhombicosidodecahedron with Pentagonal Holes.
* The twelve holes connecting the inner shell and outer shell of this Toroid are Pentagonal Antiprisms with missing Pentagons.
* For comparison, the original Toroid that inspired me to build this one is the Drilled Truncated Dodecahedron, which has a Truncated Dodecahedron (with Pentagonal Cupolae Excavations with central Pentagon Holes) for an outer shell; a Dodecahedron inner shell (missing all pentagons); connected by the same Pentagonal Antiprisms (missing the pentagons).
* Thanks for the inspiration to explore the Drilled Truncated Dodecahedron are given to Karl Horton.
We set out to do a two hour hike to a small, secluded beach in the hard to reach Cala Tuent. There we wanted to swim a bit, then head back the way we came. Two hours in, and after a 200 meter drop, we realized we had badly miscalculated, though the full extent was still unknown to us. A signpost around here said "Cala Tuent 2,5 hours". We laughed.
Sometimes all you need is a walk in the woods. There is not much it can't fix! There is an energy in nature that is all to often missing in modern society. It is a primordial need that we should feed. Spending time in nature regularly needs to become a bigger focus of our society.
realization of the day: removing the battery alone doesn't make it safe to open hardware. capacitors are evil.
---- looking for Lady Florence .... ----
The mausoleum of Lady Florence Trevelyan: this is the bust on which the mold was made for the realization of the bronze bust which is located in the public garden of Taormina.
Mrs. Maria, nice and very kind person, is the owner and affectionate guardian of the mausoleum where lie the mortal remains of Lady Florence (location "Francisi" Castelmola). (Originally the tomb of Florence was about 50-100 meters from here, looking like a tomb from the Roman era, then partly collapsed, perhaps following the terrible earthquake of Messina in 1908 ).
...................
Il mausoleo di Lady Florence Trevelyan: questo è il busto sul quale venne realizzato il calco per la realizzazione del busto i bronzo che si trova nel giardino pubblico di Taormina.
La signora Maria, persona squisita e gentilissima, è la proprietaria e custode affezionatissima del mausoleo dove giacciono le spoglie mortali di Lady Florence (località "Francisi", Castelmola). (Originariamente la tomba di Florence si trovava a circa 50-100 metri da qui, assomigliante ad una tomba di epoca romana, come se ne trovano diverse nei dintorni di Taormina, successivamente in parte crollò, forse in seguito al terribile terremoto di Messina del 1908).
------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a short and long collection of photographs, almost all made in Taormina (Sicily), and is divided into two parts: the first part I have included a few pictures, I put a few moments I catched in the alleys of the small Sicilian town, in the second part (the first to appear on Flickr) in which I tried to rebuild and at the same time to remember the singular feminine figure of Lady Florence Trevelyan, an English noblewoman, lover of art, botany, ornithology, travels, the arts magical and esoteric; she loved animals, but actively helped a lot of people; Taormina is to her that owes much of its luck; this Lady, hosting famous people of the time, contributed not a little to make known the beauty of this village Siculo to the whole world (and she improved and embellished much Taormina).
Lady Florence was born in Hallington On February 7, 1852, but soon became an orphan at the age of two years (his father committed suicide in 1854); his mother Catherine Anne was the maid of honor of Queen Victoria: the Queen which became attached enormously to Florence, and the Queen loved her like a true daughter. Florence at age 27, in 1879 was forced to leave everything to face a long journey lasting more than two years (Lady Florence fell prey to the notorius charms of the future Edward VII, who was already married; this sort of thing never went over well with Victoria, so Florence was asked to leave England). Lady Florence returned to his homeland for a short period, to be again driven out for an exiled perennial: She never returned to England (though, a generous monthly annuity was given hers on the orders of the Queen Victoria). Florence traveled widely, reached India, went to Burma, arrived in Australia she performed as a singer, and then finally arrive in February 1884 in Taormina: here you will stay until the end of his life (she died October 4, 1907 ). At Taormina she met the then mayor, the rich prof. Salvatore Cacciola, doctor, passionate student and Grand Master of Freemasonry: it is said that Lady Florence fell in love when she sought his help to cure "Sun", one of his dogs; from here to their wedding was a short step.
Lady florence bought several lots of land, created the current Public Garden of Taormina, planted olive trees, cypresses, exotic trees, and built those features buildings in oriental style; She bought by the former mayor the "Isola Bella" (She built an house and She planted trees and exotic plants, Mediterranean pines, as well as the inevitable cypress); She bought many arid and barren lands around Taormina (Mount Venus, Monte Croce, Monte Porretta) and they become rich in vegetation, with many farmers she had taught the art of the English garden. Many people went knocking to her door, in financial difficulties, usually farmers and fishermen (also Oscar Wilde, disgraced by charges of homosexuality, received financial aid from Lady Florence), She made a major sewing school for young girls of Taormina, and instituted for their 87 wedding dowries. Fate was once again mocking her: the only child she had named Edward, died in childbirth. It was in use at the time, bathing in bathtubs filled with cold water of the sea (even the photographer Von Gloeden was addicted to this habit), but this proved fatal, Lady Florence died of pneumonia at the age of 55. For her express wish, She was buried in a district of Castelmola (accompanied by large numbers of Sicilian people, it tells of an endless line, to the sound of "ciaramelle", which reminded her bagpipes of her distant Scotland), district called "Francisi" in her memory (this term according to a medieval custom). In her will, Lady Florence forced heirs not to hunt in his vast possessions, not to build, and to accept and to help dogs and birds. Lady Florence was the first woman (not only in Sicily) to be allowed to be part of Freemasonry.
The writer Guido Gozzano, was inspired by Lady Florence, when he wrote the novel "Alcina".
----------------------------------
Questa è una raccolta di fotografie breve e lunga, quasi tutte realizzate a Taormina (Sicilia), raccolta che ho diviso in due parti: nella prima parte ho inserito alcuni ritratti, ho messo alcuni momenti colti nei vicoli del piccolo paese Siciliano, nella seconda parte (la prima ad apparire su Flickr) ho tentato di ricostruire, ed al contempo ricordare, la singolarissima figura di Lady Florence Trevelyan, una nobildonna Inglese amante dell'arte, della botanica, della ornitologia, dei viaggi, delle arti magiche ed esoteriche; lei, che fu una convinta animalista ante litteram, non si limitò ad amare solo gli animali, ma aiutò fattivamente persone di ogni ceto sociale, ebbe ricchezze ma al tempo stesso pagò prezzi altissimi in sofferenza e dolore: Taormina deve a lei molta della sua fortuna, poichè questa Lady, ospitando nei suoi possedimenti illustri e famosi personaggi dell'epoca, contribuì non poco a far conoscere al mondo intero le bellezze di questo paesino Siculo (ella stessa migliorò ed abbellì ancor più Taormina).
Lady Florence nacque in quel di Hallington il 7 febbraio del 1852, divenne ben presto orfana all'età di due anni ( il padre morì suicida nel 1854); sua mamma Catherine Anne era la dama di compagnia della regina Vittoria, la quale regina si affezionò enormemente a Florence, sì da amarla come una vera figlia. All'età di 27 anni, nel 1879 venne imposto a Florence di lasciare l'Inghilterra per affrontare un lungo viaggio, che sarà della durata di più di due anni (si ipotizza per farle dimenticare una relazione che non sarebbe mai dovuta accadere, col figlio della regina Vittoria, il futuro re Edoardo VII, che a quel tempo era già sposato; sembra che non sia stata affatto la gelosia della moglie di Edoardo, bensì la rigidità della madre Vittoria a decretarne l'esilio). Lady Florence dopo questo primo viaggio ritornò nella sua Inghilterra, ma vi restò ben poco, infatti dopo un brevissimo periodo Lady Florence venne nuovamente allontanata in esilio, e questa volta lo sarà per sempre: Florence non ritornerà mai più nella sua Inghilterra (un generoso vitalizio mensile le fu dato comunque su ordine della stessa Regina Vittoria, ovvio che ciò le fu indispensabile, essendo così lontana da casa). Florence viaggiò molto, raggiunse l'India, andò in Birmania, giunta in Australia si esibì come cantante, per poi infine giungere nel febbraio del 1884 a Taormina: qui vi resterà fino all'ultimo dei suoi giorni (lei morirà il 4 ottobre 1907). A Taormina ebbe modo di conoscere l'allora sindaco, il ricco prof. Salvatore Cacciola, medico, appassionato studioso e Gran Maestro della Massoneria: si racconta che Lady Florence se ne innamorò quando lei cercò l'aiuto del medico per curare "Sole", uno dei suoi cani; da qui al loro matrimonio, il passo fu breve.
Lady florence acquistò numerosi lotti di terreno, realizzò l'attuale Giardino Pubblico, vi piantò ulivi, cipressi, alberi esotici, costruì quelle caratteristiche costruzioni in stile birmano-orientale; acquistò dall'ex sindaco L'Isola Bella (vi costruì una casetta, e l'Isola, che altro non era che un ammasso brullo di scogli, divenne rigogliosa come la vediamo oggi, vi piantò alberi e piante esotiche, pini mediterranei, nonchè gli immancabili cipressi, così presenti in quasi tutta la cittadina); acquistò numerosi terreni intorno a Taormina (Monte Venere, Monte Croce, Monte Porretta) sicchè da aridi e brulli che erano, li fece diventare ricchi di vegetazione (infatti aveva al soldo numerosi contadini ai quali aveva insegnato l'arte del giardino all'Inglese). Alla sua porta andarono a bussare numerose persone in difficoltà economiche, in genere contadini e pescatori, mai fu chiusa loro la porta... (anche Oscar Wilde, caduto in disgrazia per l'accusa di omosessualità, ricevette un aiuto finanziario dalla Lady); realizzò una importante scuola di cucito per le giovanette di Taormina, dando loro la possibilità di potersi mantenere da sole; istituì 87 doti di matrimonio per le ragazze Taorminesi (all'epoca una ragazza senza dote non aveva molte possibilità di formarsi una famiglia). Il destino infine fu ancora una volta beffardo con lei: l'unico figlio che lei ebbe, di nome Edoardo, morì durante il parto, il padre era un medico, tentò di rianimarlo, ma non ci fu nulla da fare. Era in uso all'epoca, fare bagni nelle vasche da bagno ricolme di acqua gelata di mare (anche il fotografo Von Gloeden era dedito a tale usanza, ma lui usava immergersi in acqua di mare calda, riuscendo a trovare in questa forma di talassoterapia una cura per la tisi, della quale era affetto): questa usanza fu fatale a Lady Florence, che morì di broncopolmonite a 55 anni di età. Per suo esplicito desiderio, la Trevelyan fu seppellita in una contrada di Castelmola (accompagnata da tantissima gente del luogo, si racconta di una fila interminabile di persone, al suono delle zampogne, che le ricordavano le cornamuse della sua lontana Scozia); la contrada dove fu seppellita (in quella la Lady aveva un'altra dimora), fu chiamata "Francisi" in sua memoria (tale termine indicava, secondo una usanza medioevale, una generica provenienza straniera, qualinque essa fosse). Nel suo testamento Lady Florence obbligò gli eredi a non cacciare nei suoi vasti possedimenti, a non costruire, ad accogliere e curare cani ed uccellini. Lady Florence fu la prima donna ad essere ammessa a fare parte della massoneria. Importò in Sicilia les tableaux vivants (i quadri viventi) e anche le sfilate dei carri in fiori a Palermo. Lo scrittore Guido Gozzano scrisse il romanzo "Alcina" ispirandosi a Lei.

University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.
I wanted to do an actual "Personal work" shot for once so I decided to work off an idea for a short film my friend and I had been planning. It hinges on that moment we encounter growing up in which we began to understand how mechanized our world really is, not in that it is a bad or good thing, but that it is mysterious to us when we are developing, that time in which we try to wrap our heads around such a vast and complex system is quite a pivotal moment that is often dismissed, despite the impact it has on our livelihood.

Plaisirs d'hiver - Marche de noel 2019 - On Christmas Day
From 29 November to 5 January, this unmissable event is back in central Brussels, and with it the guarantee of spending magical moments in the city's streets and being lost in wonder on Grand-Place before the incredible sound and light show and stunning Christmas tree.
Also on the programme: the traditional big wheel, covered ice rink, chalets, merry-go-rounds and countless activities for young and old, not forgetting the art installations and illuminations that create a unique atmosphere in the capital. This year, we have a very big special guest, 55 cm to be precise: the Manneken-Pis, who will be celebrating his 400th birthday with a whole host of festive activities.
Every year, the City of Brussels works twice as hard to put on an even more enjoyable and seamless event for local people and our many international visitors. Last year, it attracted nearly three million! Its success also benefits hotels and businesses in the centre, which post impressive figures.
And to share the Christmas joy, the Winter Pop popup village will stop off in four areas of the city. Every weekend, free activities will be organized with community groups and local figures. Caravans, lights, firepits, all kinds of artists, music, games... For the third year, Winter Pop will spread the Winter Wonders' fairy dust across Brussels.
The City of Brussels and the organizers thank the Brussels's artists Guillaume Desmaret & Arnaud Debal of the Farm Prod collective for the realization of the visual of Winter Wonders 2019. www.farmprod-collective.be
