I rode through that gate to the end, then that man yelled at me that I wasn't allowed to be there because it's 'structurally unsound'. I guess it's only like that during the week though, since it's the same spot where this shot was taken, which was on a weekend.
"To construct a coherent picture of structuralism, I must first engage in an effort very similar to that undertaken by classical structuralist analysis. I must develop an underlying structure of interrelated concepts that purportedly generate, or provide the meaning of, the multiple particular practices or texts of a diverse collection of authors-a structuralism of structuralisms, as it were."
In 1984 Thomas C. Heller wrote these words in "Structuralism and Critique." He assumes that in order to write about this topic he must do so in a manner befitting of a classical structuralist. Classical structuralist, along with most structuralist today, believe that critical readers examine the literary work interpreting its unchanging structure. It is perceived to be unchanging for two reasons. First, there is a notion that all educational institutions teach students to write with structure. Meaning variation is limited if we all receive close to the same education. Second, structure is seen in every work of literature. According to structuralist, there are very few original structures. Most in society are replicas of something that has already been written.
This picture of "Rome & Jewel" is an example of the structuralist point of view. This movie uses the same structure of two before it: Romeo & Juliet and West Side Story. There is nothing new if the structure is what is most important in interpreting the structure.
Today's shot id one of those cheating manmade shots, where what I really wanted to shoot was the sky, so I had to find something interesting and manmade to put in front of it. I chose some of the outdoor art outside the art museum for this purpose. I thought the colorful mosaic and the structural concrete elements complimented to colorful sky and structure in the clouds. The cool light rays where a bonus. A circular polarizer was used. 3 exposure HDR, processed in photomatix, then ran through a Velvia filterin Photoshop for strong color and to reintroduce some local contrast (HDRs by default are pretty flat straight out of the tonemapping). 1/320,1/80.1/20sec@f/8 ISO 100 FL:16mm
Old Market in downtown Omaha. Nice walk-around type area, plenty of bars, restaurants, shops and people-watching.
On the left the main structural poles of the building, the amount of them makes the structure look more confined that it actually is.
On the right the Energetic Side Cut showing the figure in relation to fractal geometry. It stands as the Tree of Life inside the Flower of Life showing its Double Torus force field. Structure floor are divided by the Golden Ratio, the third floor is the Golden Ratio of building, where the second floor is the ratio of half of the building.
The full glass elevations to the extension spaces were created using a mixture of frameless structural glass and minimal windows sliding glass doors. With an ultra-minimal frame of only 21mm, the minimal windows doors perfectly match the sightlines of the associated structural glazing.
On the external face of the extension, the solid structure was clad in mirrored decorative glass. The result is an unobtrusive extension that reflects and merges in with its environment.
Bespoke elements of structural glazing were integrated throughout the extension and renovation of the large house. As part of the angular design frameless Eaves Windows slice through the side walls of the extension, in addition, a frameless glass link was used to connect the new extension to the original building structure.
