Sometimes the systems we build hold up pieces of the past that are no longer rooted in our reality.
The dead tree branch is positioned on the left according to the rule-of-thirds, and visually balanced by the living plant and fence posts on the right.
Anyybody can solve the trick, but think about that they spend the day without eating, drinking and peeing etc.. Many respects.

The Kelpies are 30-metre high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland.The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013.The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.
The sculptures opened to the public in April 2014. As part of the project, they will have their own visitor centre, and sit beside a newly developed canal turning pool and extension. This canal extension reconnects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the River Forth, and improves navigation between the East and West of Scotland.Built of structural steel with a stainless steel cladding, The Kelpies weigh 300 tonnes each. Construction began in June 2013, and was complete by October 2013. However the process of fabricating the steel was several years in the making. SH Structures, of Yorkshire, carried out this fabrication and also managed the erection of the sculptures on site.The Kelpies are positioned either side of a specially constructed lock and basin, part of the redeveloped Kelpies Hub.
BIM 4D services, an India based Knowledge Process Outsourcing Company, has a cutting edge in providing the building information modeling services in the International Market.
We combine the architectural, structural and MEP services offer our clients a complete pre-construction model of the building with the added fourth element of Time, hence 4D modeling. We create building information modeling (BIM) 4D Model in a digital construction site providing insight into entire Building Life Cycle Management.

This is a juvenile Sinopoda caeca, found in the caves of Vang Vieng, Laos. It is pale, almost beige, and either has reduced eyes or is completely devoid of eyes.
This is due to the process of regressive evolution. In an environment without light, vision provides no advantage in finding prey or avoiding predators. The loss of their eyes means that energy and resources once used for eyes are instead allocated to other traits.
The legs exhibit structural colours as they appear blue when light is incident at certain angles. Check the full dorsal view and see if you notice the blue.

At the start of the project I am currently working on, I was unsure of which way to pursue the theme of museum of self and identity. I chose to look at the structural side of Identity first. I started by doing small structural sketches using watercolour and biro. I drew these sketches onto pieces of paper that I had stuck together or crumpled up. I did this to create a structure in itself to draw onto. Following on from this, I wanted to look more into the shapes and structures that could be created with this method. I made some small-scale and large-scale sketches using this technique and I found that the pieces resembled a human-like figure. I then decided to experiment and look at the structure and the human body with the artists Wyndham Lewis and Michelangelo. I feel that the Vorticism movement uses shapes and lines in a similar way to the way I use them in my structural pieces. After looking at Michelangelo, I wanted to look at doing more realistic pieces focusing on the human body using different medias. I had not yet worked in 3D and wanted to explore structure using a different media. I chose to do a model of my hand in clay in a similar position to the position of the hand in my biro study. The work I am currently doing uses photography and light, I want to explore how I can use photography to represent the same structural effect as in my first studies. I feel that by using a strobe light and a long exposure I can create a fractured effect, which produces a structural shape. I plan to look more into the movement of the body when doing certain things and use this technique more to explore structure with the human body.
Hehe I was lucky to have shot the person before she took a step forward to go up the stairs hence her body was tilted towards the building.
Sanatorium Zonnestraal, Hilversum NL, 1926-1928, architects Duiker, Bijvoet & Wiebenga - the architects/structural engineers designed the Sanatorium Zonnestraal near Hilversum in The Netherlands, completed in 1928. This cutting-edge design changed the way the world considered hospitals, by discarding the dark, unsanitary buildings of the past. Early twentieth century designs emphasized air circulation and access to sunlight. This innovation was so successful that many upscale homes placed sleeping quarters outside on balconies. The composition of glass, concrete, and steel in this structure continues to be copied in many modern homes. Three main buildings of three parallel wings contain treatment facilities and staff quarters. The infirmary houses 28 patients, specifically tuberculosis patients. Spatial relationships are clear and direct. The white concrete is brilliantly subservient to the airy and light atmosphere. There is no telling how much this project improved the quality of life for sick and mentally ill people all over the world. It is a triumph of Modernism. A major restoration took place from 2001. The main building is totally restored. From the remaining original pavilion the structure and facades have been restored. The interior is waiting for a new user.
Structural steel for the Integrated Sciences Complex arrived on Wednesday, December 21, and the steelworkers have been busy erecting two stories of columns and beams on the north wing. The university community will see the ISC take shape as steel continues to go up and metal decks, concrete slabs and fireproofing are installed through the spring.
