Title : Bagh-e Fin
Other title : Bagh-i Fin; Fin Garden
Date : 1571-1629 (construction) 1797-1834 (reconstruction)
Current location : Kashan, Esfahan, Iran
Description of work : The Bagh-e Fin was developed during the reign of the Safavid ruler Shah Abbas I (1571-1629) on the route to his new capital at Isfahan. Contained within massive enclosure walls and laid out on a series of low terraces, the garden follows a quadripartite chahar bagh scheme divided by the crossing of two watercourses which also line the perimeter of the garden. The crossing is marked by a two-story pavilion, while garden spaces and pathways fill the space. An additional watercourse, running adjacent to the central one, emanates from a small, but elaborately painted, pool house. The paintings date to the reign of the Qajar ruler Fath Ali Shah (1797-1834), who also replaced most of the earlier buildings. The water is delivered by a qanat (underground irrigation canal) and is forced through numerous fountains by gravity. Various hammams (bathhouses), residences, and a museum line the sides. It was declared a national monument in 1935 and has since undergone extensive repairs. (Sources: Hobhouse, Penelope. Gardens of Persia. Kales Press, 2004; Faghih, Nasrine and Amin Sadeghy.

At 7:36PM on November 22, 2019 the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 1200 N Vermont Ave in East Hollywood.
Firefighters arrived to find a 5,546 square foot vacant medical clinic (mixed one and two story) with fire showing from the second floor. Crews quickly established hand lines and made entry on the first floor but encountered heavy fire throughout the area. With fire burning above them and the roof deemed unsafe for vertical ventilation, the incident transitioned to a defensive operation.
Over 115 firefighters, under the command of Assistant Chief Timothy Ernst, used heavy streams both from ladder pipes and hand lines to fully extinguish the fire in one hour and 51 minutes.
Despite initial bystander reports, no occupants were found and no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is under active investigation by the LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section (ACTS).

At 2:21pm, by the authority of CLFR Command, MABAS Box #5-342 was struck out.
News Article obtained from the Northwest Herald:
CRYSTAL LAKE – The residents of five apartments were displaced following a fire Monday afternoon at a condominium complex, officials said.The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded at 1:22 p.m. to an activated fire alarm at 1623 Carlemont Drive, a two-story building that houses four units and is connected to a second four-unit building, according to a news release.
Flames reaching 20 to 25 feet were coming out of the second floor of the building, said Jim Rainbolt, president of the Randall Village Condominium Association.
He had arrived about five minutes after the alarm had gone off, he said, adding that the fire developed pretty quickly.
Randall Village is made up of 21 residential buildings, each housing six to eight apartments, Rainbolt said.
The fire department was able to bring the fire under control in 45 minutes and prevent it from spreading to other buildings, the release said.
The fire damage was mostly contained to the unit where the fire started and the roof that covers that unit, Battalion Chief William Whyte said. There was water and smoke damage to the other units.
The residents of all four units in 1623 Carlemont Drive and of one unit in adjoined 1627 Carlemont Drive have been displaced, Rainbolt said.
The initial damage estimate has been placed at $350,000, the release said. There were no injuries.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated, Whyte said.
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department was assisted by the Crystal Lake building and public works departments as well as fire departments from Algonquin, Huntley, McHenry, Nunda Township, Cary, Woodstock, Lakewood, East Dundee, Carpentersville, Fox River Grove, Barrington and Marengo, the release said.
The Red Cross and Salvation Army also assisted.
At 9:07PM, the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to reports of an outside fire extending into a structure in the 5400 block of N Tujunga Av in North Hollywood.
Firefighters arrived on scene to find a commercial building with heavy fire showing which triggered a defensive operation. The multi-pronged fight required additional resources and quickly grew to a Major Emergency status incident.
Truck companies raised aerial ladders to deploy ladder pipes while engine companies used wagon batteries and put large diameter hand lines into place. Firefighters ascended a residential high rise across the street to gain the high ground with additional handle lines. High voltage power lines combined with wires down created an additional safety hazard to be factored into the angle of attack of all water streams.
While the fire raged, crews worked aggressively to defend another exposed building, still in the framing stage of construction. Their efforts were successful and the structure remained undamaged.
The fight continued for one hour and 56 minutes before the 111 firefighters, under the leadership of Assistant Chief Corey Rose, achieved a knockdown. There were no injuries reported.
A residential high rise across from the fire was impacted by smoke blanketing the area but there were no medical complaints and firefighters ensured the area was ventilated with all alarms were cleared.
Based on protocol for a fire of this size, LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section responded for the cause investigation and it remains active.

My first tutorial for the good people at Creative Market is now live!
I will walk you through the process of re-creating a poster I call "Structure." We will go through all the steps, from conceptualization to execution.
I used quite a few resources from the Creative Market community along the way. This writeup should give you a glimpse of how versatile they all are.
I hope you'll enjoy the process piece. Until next one, cheers!
Upcoming Building (04-17-2014) This is going to be the Second Part of the La Vela Mall in Margarita Island - Venezuela
Fort Jefferson is a massive but unfinished coastal fortress. It is the largest masonry structure in the Americas, and is composed of over 16 million bricks. The Dry Tortugas are part of Monroe County, Florida, United States. The fort is located on Garden Key in the lower Florida Keys within the Dry Tortugas National Park, about 70 miles (110 km) west of the island of Key West.
The islands get their name from their distinctive characteristics: Turtles, because Ponce de León, a Spanish explorer, saw several big sea turtles on the island. Soon afterward, the word "Dry" was added to the name, to indicate to mariners the islands' lack of springs. Later seafarers would keep the turtles on their backs in the holds of sailing ships and butcher them when they wanted fresh meat. They are not related to the Caribbean island of Tortuga, near Hispaniola.
The islands are home to Dry Tortugas National Park, and are only accessible by boat or seaplane. The large seabird colony, including sooty terns, brown noddy, masked booby and magnificent frigatebird, and the regular occurrence of Caribbean vagrant birds makes them a popular birding destination.
Spanish explorer Ponce de León gave the Dry Tortugas their name on his first visit in 1513. The name is the second oldest surviving European place-name in the US. They were given the name Las Tortugas (The Turtles) due to 170 sea turtles taken on the islands and shoals by de León's men. Soon afterward, the word "Dry" was added to the name, to indicate to mariners the islands' lack of springs.
In 1742 HMS Tyger wrecked in the Dry Tortugas. The stranded crew lived on Garden Key for 56 days, and fought a battle with a Spanish sloop, before sailing to Jamaica in several boats.
The United States government never completed Fort Jefferson after 30 years on Garden Key, and this bastion remained in Union hands throughout the Civil War. It later was used as a prison until abandoned in 1874. Dr. Samuel Mudd, famous for being the doctor who treated John Wilkes Booth in the wake of the Lincoln assassination, was imprisoned here until early 1869. During the 1880s, the Navy established a base in the Dry Tortugas, and it subsequently set up a coaling (refueling) and a wireless (radio) station there as well. During World War I, a seaplane base was established in the islands, but it was abandoned soon thereafter.
From 1903 until 1939 the Carnegie Institution of Washington operated the Marine Biology Laboratory on Loggerhead Key which "...quickly became the best-equipped marine biological station in the tropical world.” Through the years, over 150 researchers used the facilities to perform a wide range of research. In June 1911 the laboratory built a vessel in Miami, Anton Dohrn, for use by researchers as well as logistics between the station and Key West. The vessel, excepting a period of World War I service with the Navy, supported the laboratory's work until closure in 1939 and donation of Anton Dohrn to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
An account of a visit to the fort at the Dry Tortugas by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Justice-to-be Robert H. Jackson can be found in the book That Man: An Insider's Portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, by Robert H. Jackson, edited and introduced by John Q. Barrett (Oxford University Press, New York, 2003).
The Dry Tortugas are also rich in maritime history. In 1989 Seahawk Deep Ocean Technology explored a shipwreck believed to be part of the 1622 Spanish treasure fleet. The wreck located in 1332' (406m) of water, yielded olive jars, copper, gold, silver, glass and other cultural artifacts. On September 6, 1622, the Nuestra Señora de Atocha was driven by a severe hurricane onto a coral reef near the Dry Tortugas, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) west of Key West. Mel Fisher and his company discovered the wreck July 20, 1985. The estimated $450 million cache recovered, known as "The Atocha Motherlode," included 40 tons of gold and silver; there were some 114,000 of the Spanish silver coins known as "pieces of eight", gold coins, Colombian emeralds, gold and silver artifacts, and 1000 silver ingots. In addition to the Atocha, Fisher's company, Salvors Inc., found remains of several nearby shipwrecks, including the Atocha's sister galleon the Santa Margarita, lost in the same year, and the remains of a slave ship known as the Henrietta Marie, lost in 1700.
In August 2004, the Dry Tortugas were directly struck by Hurricane Charley. The following day, a Cessna airplane crashed into the water near the islands, killing cinematographer Neal Fredericks while he was filming scenery for the feature film CrossBones

Did a little test run of our shelter idea with Lindsay. We haven't got the material for the skin yet, it will be a sort of thick nylon weave attached the ribs of the structure with zip-ties. Everything worked as we hoped and it took us about 30 minutes to assemble it from scratch.
The structure is:
1" diameter PVC pipes. Joint's held together by thicker pipe sleeves and secured with bike tire inner tubes. The pipes in the arches are put over 2' pieces of rebar hammered into the ground with 1' sticking out. The pressure from the pipes bending holds it in place.
Googie style facade and doors on an otherwise boxy building. Note the use of plate glass on the sides.

Ambient Occlusion test using the new internal Structure Synth raytracer. (Rendering time: 68s)
I've started working on a simple built-in raytracer in Structure Synth, both for providing fast previews in the GUI, and for people who are intimidated by the somewhat complex template export.
So far it is pretty standard stuff: a single-threaded, Phong shaded based raytracer which uses the Fast Voxel Traversel method to accelerate ray-primitive intersection tests. As of now it supports reflections, transparency, shadows (the hard and ugly type), and adaptive anti-alias. I've also implemented a simple Ambient Occlusion scheme.
Title: Dumbarton Oaks Gardens: Pebble Garden
Other title: Dumbarton Oaks Gardens (Washington, D.C.)
Creator: Farrand, Beatrix, 1872-1959; Havey, Ruth
Creator role: Landscape Architect
Date: 1923 (constructed) circa 1960 (redesigned)
Current location: Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Description of work: ""Originally a tennis court, this area was redesigned by Mildred Bliss and Ruth Havey in the years 1959-1961 as a pebble garden. Pebbles of differing sizes and colors from Mexican beaches are combined with plantings of thyme (Thymus serpyllum), sedum (Sedum Middendorffianum), and seasonal flowers to form an elaborately patterned parterre. At the south end, opposite the eighteenth century French fountain, pebbles are laid in delicately shaded detail to represent a full sheaf of wheat, a component of the emblem of the Bliss family (....) covered during the warm months with a shallow layer of water.""

Dancing Rabbit is located in a county that has no building codes, which gives members a great deal of leeway in deciding what to build. They do have an environmental covenant that disallows lumber, except for reclaimed lumber and locally harvested wood. Many structures utilize clay taken right out of the ground, often combined with straw bale construction.
