As long as architect is not creative and ready to think of unique possibilities, structural designer is always least interested in the work

The Sony SEL24240 isn't that great, unfortunately. I had a really hard time to get a sharp image of this fencepost. And this thing doesn't even move!
BAY OF BENGAL (July 8, 2017) U.S. Navy Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Sarah Schreppler, from Middletown, Del., builds an aircraft tire aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), July 8, 2017, in the Bay of Bengal. Nimitz is currently on deployment in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. The U.S. Navy has patrolled the Indo-Asia Pacific routinely for more than 70 years promoting regional peace and security.

Apparently, the Church has been structurally unsafe since the 1930's, when renovation works saw the removal of a mezzanine. A report was commissioned that then found the building was constructed from "pot" or mined granite and very vulnerable to erosion.
It closed in 1956.
In 1985, vandals damages the roof to badly enough to cuase a section to collapse, so the decision was then taken to remove the whole roof structure (by dynamite!).
Current works have been going on since 1999 to stabilise the structure and reuse it as an open air venue for concerts etc.
This isn't the first time this has happened at our work building (see this photo taken from near the biogenesis lab last October), but anyway, we got a memo via e-mail today: "Due to the rain, the 7th floor awning is breaking apart and falling down. Security is going to close off the back portion of the parking lot."

These exposures in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah consist of structurally tilted, Jurassic-aged sedimentary rocks. The rocks in the right foreground are part of the Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic). The gray and gray-brown rocks in the middle background are part of the Jurassic-aged Stump Formation, a marine, mixed-siliciclastics unit. Below (behind) the Stump are hidden outcrops of the Entrada Sandstone and Carmel Formation. The light-colored rocks at the horizon in the far-background are the Glen Canyon Sandstone (Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic), a local name for the Navajo Sandstone (also known as the Nugget Sanstone). The Glen Canyon/Navajo/Nugget is an eolian quartzose sandstone representing a widespread desert sand dune deposit - an erg facies.

Ikreate is a design studio founded in 2012, that focuses in jewellery and home decoration designs using rapid prototyping methods. The idea of designing parametric jewelleries through Grasshopper was a challenge due to the possibilities available plus the multiple outcomes. "One of a kind" jewellery idea was into our field, so as the ability of personalising them, according to the user. Parameters would alter the result each time changed.
The concept was to produce a magnetic field, a field of attractors, that could have the ability of affecting the structure of a geometry. In particular, a torus was chosen so as to be used for a bracelet. Torus geometry translated into a number of division curves in u and v. Alteration in the points, used as attractors, was deforming the curves, the structure of the torus.
During the final phase - production of a wearable geometry - physical flexibility was necessary to be given at the model. Besides the material used during printing procedure, the combination of the parameters, number of division+radius of the pipes, gave an extra flexibility to the model.
