London Design Festival 2019 - Bamboo (竹) Ring: Weaving into Lightness
“Bamboo (竹) Ring, or ‘Take-wa 竹わ’, is an experiment in the concept of weaving, as explored by Kengo Kuma.
Japanese architect Kuma (founder of Kengo Kuma & Associates) has most recently designed the V&A Dundee, his first building in the UK, as well as the New National Stadium for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics along with Taisei Corporation and Azusa Sekkei.
Inspired by the John Madejski Garden and curated by Clare Farrow, the doughnut-shaped structure – like a nest or cocoon – has been created by weaving rings of bamboo and carbon fibre together. For Kuma, working with Ejiri Structural Engineers and the Kengo Kuma Laboratory at The University of Tokyo, the installation is an exploration of pliancy, precision, lightness and strength: by pulling two ends, it naturally de-forms and half of the woven structure is lifted into the air.
Bamboo has been used traditionally in Japanese architecture in part due to its linearity and flexibility, and as a symbol of strength and rapid growth. The basic component of the structure – a 2m-diameter ring – is made from strips of the bamboo Phyllostachys edulis. By combining carbon fibre, a contemporary material, with the traditional material of bamboo and laminating each ring, the resulting effect achieves a certain rigidity while maintaining the unique material properties and beauty of bamboo – a remarkable, sustainable material that resonates with Kuma’s childhood memories and looks into the future of architecture.
Bamboo (竹) Ring, or ‘Take-wa 竹わ’, is intended to be a catalyst for weaving people and place together.

Kilchurn Castle is a ruined 15th and 17th century structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Access to the Castle is sometimes restricted by higher-than-usual levels of water in the Loch, at which times the site effectively becomes a temporary island.
It was the ancestral home of the Campbells of Glen Orchy, who later became the Earls of Breadalbane also known as the Breadalbane family branch, of the Clan Campbell. The earliest construction on the castle was the towerhouse and Laich Hall
What "Durf" was putting his autograph on I'm not sure, but it is right next to an old ladder where there are signal posts marked on the old maps. I had a though that the holes in the side of the structure would have allowed the wires controlling the signal arms to pass through, but the galvanised steel seems a bit too modern to have been associated with a railway that last ran through here 40 years ago.
This was a fun garden structure to create. It also has an amazing view overlooking a private golf course in Toronto. The fabric ceiling is retractable and provides some protection from the rain and sun. Endless detail to this structure. This Garden structure was built in the Toronto area.

First Baptist Church & Mizpah Tower. Architect Gordon Wright designed this building for a unique combination of religious and commercial uses in the Late Gothic Revival style. This structure was one of the first instances of reinforced concrete construction in Syracuse. Granite covers the basement level, while upper floors are covered with a skin of terracotta. The tower lost its upper creating of finials during a lightning storm in the 1980s. In the 1940s the upper floors became an independent hotel. The church's semi-circular auditorium was below the third floor. The church took over management of the hotel in the 1960s and the hotel was given the name Mizpah. The Baptist Church moved to the suburbs and sold this church in1988. It has deteriorated over the years. Developers have tried and failed since then to undertake renovations. The City of Syracuse seized the building for back taxes in 1998. The building which was previously vacant has had a new offer for rehabilitation. So, we'll have to wait and see what's next for this landmark building. Located at 215 East Jefferson Street in Syracuse, NY. (53)
This is a revamped version of the Heart House featured in "The Hand Sculpted House." Note the bale-cob hybrid construction; the surface of a bale is visible just below the blue tarp on the left.
This technique makes for walls that have a way higher R value (the walls are highly insulative rather than depending so much on thermal mass of cob).
As noted in most literature about cob, the building feels much larger once inside.

Remaining overhead structures from Springvale Cemetery Line which operated from DOWN side of Springvale Station between 1904 and 1947 (the line was officially booked out in 1951 several months after removal of the overhead). The line was removed and the 'new' Sandown Racecourse obliterated the former right of way. A short section remained for many years serving as a siding for Springvale station and for the nearby Rocla plant when it was operating.
In recent years it was booked out of use before being dismantled to allow construction for a new substation as part of the Westall upgrade project.
Amiens Cathedral is the largest church in France and one of the greatest cathedrals ever conceived. It's vaults are amongst the highest ever built.
The soaring structure was mostly built during the 13th & 14th centuries and shows a remarkable unity of style. It's west facade is stunningly enriched with sculpture which is wonderfully complete, particularly in the three great porches whose overhanging gables protect them from the elements.
The wonderfully intact figure sculptures in the porches are usually eclipsed by the finer examples of Chartres & Reims but are perhaps the most beautifully preserved anywhere, further enhanced by the recent cleaning with the pioneering use of lazers. This entails vapourising the outer crust of dirt without resorting to abrasion of any kind, thus much evidence of the original polychrome was discovered beneath, enabling an accurate reconstruction of the colouring to be created. And as if this wasn't enough, another pioneering work here has been the stunning virtual recreation of the richly coloured sculpted porches is projected on to the facade by night at certain times of the year!
Inside the awesome scale and height immediately hits you, and unlike Chartres and Reims the interior is flooded with light as little of the original glazing has suvived, thus the cool grey limestone is the dominant colour, punctuated by the stained glass of the apse and the three rose windows.
All in all this is one of the most stunning, awe-inspiring edifices I've ever seen.

This iconic image shows the B-configuration of DNA with its clear central cross representing the helical structure of DNA. The photograph was produced in May 1952 and has become known as one of the key pieces of evidence for cracking the structure of DNA. Early diffraction images had pointed to a helical structure this photograph gave the clearest confirmation of this hypothesis. It does not however indicate that the helix is a double helix and could also represent single, or triple strand helices. One of the reasons that Watson and Crick got to the structure first is that they had in mind the equal ratios of nucleotide base pairs which led them towards a two chain structure. Photo 51, with its clear indication of a helix led Watson to push forward with two chain designs when model building yet history may have been different if he only saw the Structure A photographs that made both Franklin and Wilkins doubt whether the overall structure was helical.
Morpeth Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Place, Morpeth, Northumberland, England. The structure, which was the meeting place of Morpeth Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building.
The building was commissioned in the early 18th century by the lord of the manor, the 3rd Earl of Carlisle. It was designed by John Vanbrugh in the Baroque style, built in rusticated ashlar stone and was completed in 1714. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto the Market Place with the end bays projected forward as towers with voussoirs and open pediments in the top stage. The central section of three bays featured three arched openings containing wrought iron grills on the ground floor; there were segmental headed sash windows on the first floor and an entablature, a cornice and a pediment above with a coat of arms in the tympanum. Internally, the principal rooms were the butter market and, behind it, the corn exchange on the ground floor and the assembly hall on the first floor.
In September 1758, an army sergeant was killed and two other soldiers badly injured when 3,000 ammunition cartridges exploded in an accident in the town hall. In the early 19th century theatrical events took place in the town hall with Macbeth being performed there. After significant population growth, largely associated with Morpeth's status as a market town, the area became a municipal borough with the town hall as its headquarters, in 1835. The town hall was badly damaged in a fire in 1869 and the façade was subsequently restored, so as to create an exact reproduction of the original, and the structure behind it completely rebuilt; this was all at the expense of the 8th Earl of Carlisle, under the supervision of the local architect, Robert James Johnson.
In February 1909, the suffragette and British Liberal Party politician, Alison Garland addressed a meeting in the town hall during which she spoke about votes for women as well as broader political issues. In 1917, the industrialist Lord Joicey bought the town hall from the 11th Earl of Carlisle and presented it to the town, refusing to accept re-imbursement despite a fund raising campaign organised by civic officials. The building then remained the headquarters of the borough council until it moved to new offices at No. 36 Bridge Street which were opened by the mayor, Richard Elliott, on 5 May 1939.
The town hall remained the main venue for civic events in the town and later accommodated the offices of Morpeth Town Council as well as the local registrar's office: it also became an approved venue for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies. An extensive programme of restoration works costing £1.1 million was commissioned by the Greater Morpeth Development Trust, carried out to a design by Napper Architects and was completed in 2009. The works involved improved access to the butter market and the restoration of the grand staircase. A bust, designed by Helen Ridehalgh, depicting the former Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, Vice-Admiral Lord Collingwood, was installed in the butter market in March 2013.
Works of art in the town hall include a portrait by Thomas Lawrence of the former Lord Privy Seal, the 6th Earl of Carlisle, as well as portraits by Thomas Bowman Garvie of Alderman George Barron Grey and of Alderman George Young. Other items of interest displayed in the mayor's parlour include a strong box known as the "town hutch" commissioned by Lord Dacre and containing documents dating back to 1513, a ceremonial mace made in 1604 and several cannonballs used in the siege of Morpeth in January 1644 during the English Civil War.

Morpeth Clock Tower is a building located off the Market Place Morpeth. The tower stands 60 ft high with walls 3 ft 6 in thick. It stands close to the Morpeth Town Hall (originally designed by Vanbrugh in 1714) and the YMCA buildings of 1905. It is Grade II* listed building.
The Clock Tower was constructed sometime between 1604 and 1634 out of recycled Medieval stone giving it its much older appearance. The stone was thought to come from a gatehouse that previously stood at the west end of Oldgate. However, it is more likely to have been built out of stone from the nearby ruined Newminster Abbey which was dissolved in 1537.
The tower acquired a peal of six bells cast by the prominent bell founder Richard Phelps (of Whitechapel Bell Foundry) in 1706 at the request of Major General Edmund Maine, MP of Morpeth. These bells were originally intended to be made for the Parish Church of Berwick-upon-Tweed. However, the people of Berwick failed to elect the Maine to office as a member of parliament a couple of years previously. On his successful election as MP of Morpeth, the bells were presented to the Corporation of Morpeth. This gave rise to the curious local saying that "Berwick Bells are heard in Morpeth." To accommodate the bells, a top storey (belfry) was built in 1706. By the early 20th century, the bells had fallen into disrepair and were eventually recast and hung in a new cast iron frame in 1951 by John Taylor & Co to commemorate the Festival of Britain.
