Overwhelmed by the huge structure of the Refa'i Mosque and the tiny details of the decorations on its exterior walls, and by the large marble columns that are a part of the entrance portal. The designers and builders of this grand mosque paid considerable attention to every single detail of its ornamentation

The Hotel Breakwater South Beach is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Miami’s Art Deco Historic District, celebrated for its symmetrical design and iconic neon-lit vertical signage.
Design: The hotel was designed in 1936 (some records cite construction completion in 1939) by Yugoslavian architect Anton Skislewicz.
Style: It is a prime example of Streamline Moderne, a late Art Deco style characterized by clean lines, aerodynamic curves, and archetypal symmetry.
Signature Features: The building features a prominent central tower with an electric-blue sign that serves as a beacon on Ocean Drive. It originally included etched plate glass windows depicting tropical Florida scenes like flamingos and palm trees.
Post-War Boom: After serving as a training ground for military personnel during World War II, the hotel became a central part of the bustling Ocean Drive tourist scene in the mid-1940s.
Iconic Photoshoot: In the early 1980s, the rooftop terrace hosted Bruce Weber’s famous Calvin Klein Underwear photoshoot, an event credited with helping bring international attention back to the then-fading Art Deco District.
Historic Designation: In 1979, the hotel became part of the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing structure to the Miami Beach Architectural District.
Renovation: After falling into disrepair, the property was extensively renovated in 2011 by the Nakash family (founders of Jordache Jeans). The restoration combined the original Breakwater building with its neighbor, the Edison, into a 99-room boutique hotel.
Recent Developments: As of January 2026, the hotel continues to operate as a central feature of South Beach, though it recently faced financial shifts, including reports of a loan default in late 2025.

The entire structure is quite impressive. The choice of red for a "Golden Gate" was also an interesting choice but makes sense as you can clearly make it out on a cloudy and foggy day!
Some clouds are passing at the top of the rigi where I was biking today. They creste an interesting structure and compose a nice mix of lights and shadow on water in different conditions. Loved it. Couldn't hesitate.
So fortunate to have clear a clear sky to capture a very rare and wonderful display at our latitude. it was way back in November 1991 that I last witnessed a such an impressive show here in Wales.

Feeding on a Dog Rose.
The thick-legged flower beetle is a pollinator of many open-structured flowers including cow parsley, ox-eye daisy and --- bramble. The adults can be seen from April to September but the larvae are well concealed within the dry stems of plants where they feed and grow before emerging to become adults. These beetles are most frequently spotted in bright sunlight on flower heads on warm to hot days.
We had the great pleasure to cooperate with Prof. Neri Oxman from the MIT media lab and with 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys: www.behance.net/gallery/21605971/Neri-Oxman-Wanderers
We designed a computational growth process which is capable of producing a wide variety of growing structures. Inspired by natural growth behaviour, the computional process creates shapes that adapt to their environment. From this process four wearables were grown. The grown wearables in this collection, designed by Prof. Neri Oxman, aim to embed living matter within 3D structures. All pieces were produced on the Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-Material printer and are currently exhibited at the EuroMold 2014. For the first time 3d printing was used to achieve volumetric color and transparency gradients.
