Hollywood, June 23, 2007 (by klk)

Winter has been dominant for some time, after a spell of freezing still weather the wind is now picking up. Something large is brewing.

 

White slithers of snow start crawling among the boulders and rocks, dropping and swirling off the cliffs, breathing life into the mountain with ever increasing intensity and soon it will engulf the landscape in a white shroud. This is the brightest time of day but still the horizon is dark and brooding, the sun is out of sight but manages to send it's farewell with a gentle display of purple and blue shimmering before retreating for the night.

 

The ominous beauty of something furious - and it's bound for us. Later the whisper of white that is now will have turned into a rumbling roar of darkness. And I have realized that I'll still be on my way home.

I finally realized, he is the perfect mix of all three of my horses before him. It's almost like they're up there in Heaven telling him exactly what to do to make me happy.

Euphorbias.

Messe Basel - New Hall

Basel, Switzerland

Project 2004-2012, realization 2010-2013

 

Urban and entrepreneurial planning

 

The concentration of exhibition halls around the Messeplatz (Exhibition Square) is the key entrepreneurial aim of the Messe Basel leadership in its further development. Building the Messe Tower and replacing Hall 1 with a highly modern building and optimum exhibition areas were the first components in this strategy, followed by the continuing construction of new halls.

 

This concentration of exhibition centre activities is also an important urban planning matter for the development of the surrounding Kleinbasel neighbourhood, aimed at regaining outlying exhibition spaces on the present Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) area for apartments, offices and small businesses while simultaneously upgrading the Messeplatz as a focal point in Kleinbasel.

 

Necessary demolition

 

Achieving this entrepreneurial as well as urban planning aim of congegrating the Messe and at the same time retaining the important Watch and Jewellery Fair within Basel, required the replacement of two halls on the Messeplatz (Hall 1 at the front and Hall 3). These halls no longer fulfilled modern exhibition requirements in terms of ceiling heights, column spacing or load bearing capacity of the floors. It was also important that all halls be interconnected to ensure flexibility for various events, and that nearby car parking facilities should be retained.

 

Necessary construction

 

Fulfilling exhibition requirements for large volumes and uninterrupted floor areas, the New Hall is a three-storey extension of Hall 1 along the Riehenring. To provide indoor connection to all exhibition halls, the new building bridges over the Messeplatz and creates a covered public space, perhaps comparable to a railway station concourse or indoor market, realized in a modern design language. This key architectural and urban planning element defines the south end of the Messeplatz and is illuminated from above by a generous circular opening.

 

Planned for many uses and events that will take place during and between exhibitions, and featuring restaurants and shops intended for a mix of international, local, exhibition, and public visitors, we have named this new outdoor hall the City Lounge. Open at all times, the City Lounge not only defines the entrance to the fair spaces, but will be a focal point of public life on Clarastrasse (the main shopping street in Kleinbasel) and will significantly enliven the street culture around the Messeplatz. For example, during the autumn fair the partially covered hall will create a fascinating atmosphere with smaller booths and aisles open to, yet protected, from the elements.

 

City Lounge and Messeplatz

 

With the addition of the New Hall, current activities on the Messeplatz will continue, but they will take place in a space with different proportions. What was once an elongated rectangle that more or less ran into Clarastrasse without noticeable demarcation is now almost a square with clearer urban definition.

 

A new “lane” between the New Hall and existing multi-storey car park offers better access to Messeplatz for pedestrians. Connecting east to the adjacent residential area around Riehenstrasse and Peter Rot-Strasse, this “lane” is a continuation of Isteinerstrasse and creates a new east-west link which integrates the Messeplatz into the quarter. Service and supply to the New Hall will be mainly through an underground route, thus reducing truck traffic on Riehenstrasse.

 

The Messeplatz is a pedestrian and cyclist precinct. Together with the adjacent Rosentalanlage, the Messeplatz will be the main outdoor space for the many residents of the Messe district. The green belt along the Messeplatz-Wettsteinplatz link will be enhanced by more trees on Riehenstrasse to visually connect the exhibition centre to the Rosentalanlage.

 

What is an exhibition hall today?

 

Ideally, exhibition halls should be as spacious as possible, rectangular in layout, with wide spans and ceiling heights of around 10 m, in order to provide the flexibility and versatility required for exhibition purposes. In recent years, the demand for such generous spaces has further increased.

 

Taking Baselworld as a leading example of a modern international exhibition, where the halls are animated by the individual exhibitors’ stands, the goods on display and the crowds of visitors, the question of an exhibition hall architecture does not seem to be a primary demand. Architecture is only perceptible in public areas and stairways and only there can an interface with the wider public landscape of the city emerge. The best illustration of this is the round courtyard in Hall 2. Regrettably, this courtyard is only accessible during exhibitions as it is undoubtedly one of the most attractive public areas in Basel and, especially during Art Basel in June, one of the most successful urban meeting points in the whole of Switzerland. The City Lounge aims to turn the inward-looking architecture of the round courtyard towards the outside and to make it accessible all year round.

 

How do we design an exhibition hall on the outside?

 

Viewed from the outside, exhibition halls are actually nothing more than a stack of big boxes. They require very few windows and architectural distinctions are deemed as impractical restrictions on interior flexibility. The architectural results are generally composed of vast, monotonous facades of brick as in Hall 2 or glass for Hall 1. To avoid this repetitive sameness, we took a different approach for the New Hall.

 

The New Hall features three exhibition levels. The entrance level, the lowest, is at grade with the street and outdoor square, permitting a natural and casual coming-and-going. Ground floor entrances seamlessly link the City Lounge to the existing Hall 1, former Hall 3, the new event space for 2’500 spectators, and a number of shops, bars and restaurants in the foyers. The dynamic sweep of the street level facade reacts to the flows of people and corresponds to the space required at the tram stop and entrances to the exhibition centre and Event Hall. Here, large expanses of glass create the spatial transparency both necessary and appropriate in order to achieve the openness envisioned for the exhibition hall complex and the enlivening of public urban life. This vitalisation and acceptance will be crucial to the long-term success of the "Messezentrum in the city" concept.

 

Above the ground will be two exhibition floors. To avoid the “big box” effect, the two upper volumes are offset from each other as separate entities, which indeed they are! The New Hall therefore consists of three individual elements, one on top of the other, each projecting over the street in varying degrees, and allowing them to respond to different urban conditions. From each point of view – whether from the Riehenring, Messeplatz or Riehenstrasse – the New Hall offers a different perception every time and thus avoids the monotony of uniform facade lines.

 

This constant architectural variation is reinforced, paradoxically, by applying a homogeneous material (aluminum) over all exterior surfaces. The facade of articulated twisting bands strategically modulates and reduces the scale of the large exhibition volumes to its surroundings. This is not simply a decorative element but a practical means to regulate the fall of natural light on adjacent properties and to frame specific views from individual spaces, primarily the social areas above the City Lounge, towards the public life of the city.

One of my earliest realizations was that a social life isn't right for everyone. All that chaos and beauty seems welcoming when you first encounter it, but big thoughts translate poorly to small talk, and most folks don't leave time for anything else. Walk a mile in your own shoes, then wonder if your thoughts weren't plenty on the way. If it was, you'll be happy. If it wasn't, try again, and again, until you're at peace with your mind – then maybe you'll be ready for somebody else.

 

Society is a strain for me, but I love what humans leave behind, hanging out in a world after hours. The buildings and the streets are silent, no competition for my thoughts. My hometown is quiet when I want it, once the sidewalks clear out and the traffic trickles down to nothing. I'm more likely to walk a graveyard in evening, because that's when it's most beautiful, and I'm least likely to be interrupted.

 

Some people tell me that they don't like to be alone, and I'm worried when they say it. Because they will be, eventually, in some place or time in life. They might get married, have children, and their lives will seem crowded for a while. But if the children move away, and their spouse dies before them, they'll discover that survival is aloneness. So don't neglect it now, make the most of peace with yourself, it's too damn hard to do it later. Leave a space for nothingness, it will give you balance for growing old. Just remember, you may have far more life than you've planned.

I was ill with cancer and had lot of fear. After attending the Self realization ceremony, felt really good. At times of fear, an internal voice came saying that you are a pure Soul.The illness is still not cured completely but i am not affected by anything as much as before. I am so grateful that this light of Pure soul within me acquired through Self-Realization has helped a lot.

All that stared back was an empty husk. Aberdeen's lust for fast paced night moves coupled with pure grade sweet&low had eaten his soul. This time he had gone too far.

Is the sound of AUM divided into three

Simply because it contains three letters?

Or is the letter 'N' divided into three

because of the three lines by which it is formed?

 

So long as Unity is undisturbed,

And a graceful pleasure is thereby derived,

Why should not the water find delight

In the floral fragrance of its own rippled surface?

(Jnanadev)

 

The Lake Shrine, Pacific Palisades, sits hidden in a ravine where Sunset Blvd ends at Pacific Coast Hwy. Memorial Svc for Beatles' George Harrison was held here. Full name is "Self-Realization Fellowship Lake & Shrine," created 1950 by Yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. One of few places on earth to visit the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1949), founder of modern India. Free admission, free parking, quiet.

This piece is a practice of landscape creating a mysterious and gloomy mood that emphasizes my sudden realization of the importance of learning from my mistakes. I layer it with various under paints and expand the painting from my neutral color--- earth color. Standing in front of the gigantic tree alone gives me a moment to confess and be honest to myself. If the nature can forgive me, why can't I.

Bronwen, age 9 months, taken Christmas Day 1991.

 

Earlier that year my stepfather came to the realization that he was the same age his own father was when he worked himself to death. So, as he had a very successful restaurant at the time (the only lunch spot inside the Disney Channel building), he cashed in and took us all on vacation.

 

All... as in, eleven of us.

 

To the Bahamas.

 

How the picture-in-a-picture came to be: Bronwen had been napping on my chest while we swung in a hammock at the side of a lagoon on Salt Cay in the Bahamas. You might recognize some views of it, as it's where they filmed some of the exterior shots for the TV show Gilligan's Island and it's the lagoon Daryl Hannah comes out of in Splash.

 

Kim and Torrey (who had just turned four) were playing at the water's edge, building a sand castle, and Bronwen and I took a nap.

 

The ship's photographer came up and took this picture. (I took the picture OF it, hanging on the wall of my mother's guest bedroom...)

 

Ever since, for the last 17 years, when I see this photograph I'm there on the island, with the high scrim of clouds filtering the tropical sun, the warm smell of my baby daughter nestled in the crook of my arm.

On the crest of Mt. Washington, five miles from downtown Los Angeles, Paramahansa Yogananda established the Self-Realization Fellowship headquarters and meditation grounds in 1925.

Before attaining Self- Realization, there is ignorance and you are observing everything through intellect. After Self- Realization, wrong belief changes into right belief and you get awareness that you are really a Soul - knower, seer of everything. Soul is totally invisible, having its own properties called – Knowledge and Vision ( Gyan and Darshan ), with these one visualizes and experiences everything.
