The Karachi Municipal Corporation (KMC) Building is one of the many historic buildings located at M. A. Jinnah road and has evolved an iconic status as one of the landmark structures of Karachi. The foundation stone for the KMC Building was laid in 1927, construction was completed in 1930, followed by the inauguration in 1932.
On January 07 2007, City District Government of Karachi decided to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Building. On this occasion the Building went through a massive renovation project which included repairing of the Clock tower. Events are organized around the theme of "Hamara Karachi Festival 2007" they include, Mushaira, Exhibitions, Cultural and social activities.
Naib Nazima (Deputy Mayor) Nasreen Jalil announced plans to organise a platinum jubilee festival of the City District Council building (old KMC Building) on completing 75 years in January 2007. The celebrations named ‘Hamara Karachi’ (Our Karachi) will start from January 7 in all 18 towns of the city and peak with three days of central festivities to be held in the old KMC building premises on January 16, 17, and 18 before its grand final on the 20th, he added

MUH is the mathematical universe hypothesis that says all structures that exist mathematically also exist physically and furthermore in those worlds with self aware substructures they will thus consider themselves in a “real” world and different worlds with different initial conditions or potential equations are equally as “real” which enters the perceptual perplexities of platonic realism in regarding only the revelation of smaller parts of the fabric totality. What we see is only but an illusion, a three dimensional shadow of the continuous. Time for example can only be measured down to a plank where it thus becomes unobserved, undetermined, quantum chance. This mathematically perceived universe of MUH is a multiverse created of structure in which there are no “things” but only that which exists in structural relationships, a similar concept to the mathematical algorithm of “chaos theory” or the Buddhist conceptualization of “MU” or emptiness.
Origami is a means of discovering woven abstracted mathematics, which divide a square into finite polygonal arrangements that make it easy to represent mathematical theorem. This theorem is not represented in the final product but the composition composed of creases created and undone. These step by step procedures or algorithms play a crucial role in optimizing design in consideration of the economics of constraints which allows clarifying insight to the mosaic of mathematical mirrors. When these mirrors reflect the pathological entirety of the infinite within finite modules it appears as a fractal, that is the finite portion appears complete and yet can be combined to create the infinite. This is also called “minimal surface” or “Gaussian Curvature” where at any amount of distortion, that is at any and every point down to the minimalist point or degree, is an unbounded resemblance of the entirety that may support itself.
“Hyperseeing” is taking the consideration of the 2d by stepping back into the 3d and by stepping back from the 3d into 4d to encompass multiple views from a single view point, which allows for a more instantaneuous, and intuitive apprehension of the natural relationships to the fragments of perceivable realities. This elusive notion of visual stimuli retention offers insight to the enigmas and perplexities of perception.

This Global Christmas village takes you on a journey from Hawaii around the world. Starting the journey with a touch of old Hawaii, with replicas of the Aloha Tower which stands over 6 feet tall. The next stop is Mainland USA and then on to Europe with stops in England at the London Tower Bridge which is over 8 feet in length, in Paris France the Eifel Tower with the ‘light show’ and 5.5 feet in height. The year’s main focal point is Schloss (Castle) Neuschwanstein in the Bavarian Alps. This Gingerbread Schloss Neuschwanstein Castle is the biggest structure the Sheraton Waikiki chefs have made to date; which is over 12 feet in lengths and 6 feet high.
This festive and unique gingerbread display was designed and created by: Executive Chef Ralf Bauer along with his team, Pantry chef Arnie Tungpalan, Executive Sous Chef John Hightower, and the Engineering Department of the Sheraton approximately 950 + working hours and about 160 hours of set up time to achieve this remarkable holiday work of art.
“From Hawaii to the World” village is made up of:
150 + pounds of dark chocolate
70 + pounds of white chocolate
120 sheets of gingerbread
250 gallons of icing
& Tons of Aloha!
I Took this Shot With my Iphone on the move whilst the traffic was slow going over the Bridge as the Runcorn Bridge is undergoing major refurbishment work at the moment.
RUNCORN BRIDGE
or Runcorn Bridge crosses the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal at Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and Widnes in Cheshire, England. It is a through arch bridge with a main arch span of 1,082 feet (330 m). It was opened in 1961 as a replacement for the Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge, and was initially known simply as the Runcorn Bridge or Runcorn–Widnes Bridge. In 1975–77 it was widened, after which it was given its official name in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It carries the A533 road and a cantilevered footway. The bridge has been designated by as a English Heritage Grade II listed structure.
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

The Bailey Bridge is covered with vertical board siding on both the sides and portals, and is painted barn red inside and out. The Bailey has a sheet metal roof and a deck with crosswise planking. Also, two rectangular windows pierce each of the sidewalls in addition to the typical narrow lengthwise openings under the eaves. The cut stone abutments and span of the deck are now supported by steel "I" beams that rest on concrete abutments, poured over the original stone and mortar abutments, and a mid stream concrete pier. The bridge also has stone and mortar wing walls.
Located over Ten Mile Creek, The Bailey Bridge is the last Burr Truss covered bridge still standing in Washington County. The Burr Truss is an arch truss that combines great wooden arches with multiple Kingpost trusses. The arches tie directly into the bridge's abutment, allowing the wider streams and rivers to be spanned.
It is said that the Bailey brothers, who owned the property the bridge is located on, contracted Daniel Smith to build the bridge in 1889.
An interesting and somewhat disturbing incident occurred at the Bailey on July 23 1994. Someone drove a truck into the middle of the bridge and set the truck on fire. It was rebuilt using all new materials except for the Burr arches and central cross timber of each truss. The Bailey was fully restored in 1999.
The Bailey was built in 1889 by the Bailey Brothers utilizing the Burr Truss. The length of the structure is 66 feet long and 15 feet wide. The Bailey crosses Ten Mile Creek in Amwell Township. The bridge is owned by the County and opened to vehicular traffic.

BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai Opening Day
December 9, 2012
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum
Mumbai, India
On opening day of the Mumbai Lab, nearly 1,500 visitors representing the spectrum of Mumbai’s religious and ethnic diversity came through the Lab. Visitors of all ages were captivated by the Landlink Design Prototype, a pilot project spearheaded by Lab Team member Neville Mars. The project proposes repurposing a set of unused pipes that run between Dharavi and Bandra in Mumbai, turning them into supporting structures for transportation lanes, a public deck space, and even classrooms, offices, and health centers.

Langen Foundation Neuss, Germany
Main building by Tadao Ando
The Langen Foundation is located at the Raketenstation Hombroich, a former NATO base, in the midst of the idyllic landscape of the Hombroich cultural environment. Visitors enter through a cut-out in the semicircular concrete wall, opening up the view to the glass, steel and concrete building. A path, bordered by a row of cherry trees, guide visitors around the pond to the entrance on the longitudinal side of the building. The glass envelope, supported by steel girders, protects the perimeter around the 76 meter long, 10.8 meter wide and 6 meter high concrete core. Reflections in the glass skin and in the water of the shallow pond dissolve borders and communicate an impression of weightlessness. The ticket office and museum shop break through the concrete core and connect with the northern side of the glass envelope, where the border between inside and outside can be experienced along its entire length. The polished concrete floor is inlaid with turquoise illuminated strips. The building is composed of two architecturally distinct complexes: a long concrete structure within a glass envelope and, at a 45 degree angle, two parallel concrete wings buried six meters deep in the earth and protruding only 3.45 meters above it. A grand stairway between the two wings of the building leads back to ground level. The long and narrow (43 x 5.4 meters) exhibition room in the concrete core, reserved for the Langen Foundation Japanese collection, receives daylight through linear light rails worked into the ceiling. On the south side of building, between the concrete core and the glass envelope, the pathway descends slightly toward the mezzanine overlooking the 8 meter tall exhibition wings containing the Modern I and Modern II galleries. The two galleries, each 436 square meters, have identical dimensions but appear very different. In Modern I a concrete ramp takes up almost half of the space where as Modern II presents itself in pure size and monumentality. The two galleries receive daylight through central narrow skylights with adjustable slats. The Langen Foundation is a masterpiece composed of lines and a fascinating interplay between inside and outside, art and nature, massiveness and lightness. It is a constructed place that is not only an envelope for art but also exhibits itself.
The Hombroich Missile Base is part of the visionary project of collector Karl-Heinrich Müller to turn a "neglected corner of the earth" in North-Rhine Westphalia into a unique synthesis of art and nature. After the development of the Museum Insel Hombroich, he bought the 13 hectares of land of a former NATO base in 1994. Not marked on any map, this area served defence purposes and the storage of cruise missile warheads and Pershing rockets. In 1992/93 it was mothballed as a result of the disarmament agreements between the NATO states and the former USSR. The overall concept, developed by Karl-Heinrich Müller, Erwin Heerich, Oliver Kruse and Katsuhito Nishikawa between 1994 and 1995, was not to completely eradicate the history of the location but to provide it with a new face and purpose. Military elements like barbed wire fences, spotlight systems and bullet-proof glass were removed. The halls, hangars, bunker systems, earth berms and observation tower were preserved, renovated and, in part, redesigned. New buildings by Heerich and Nishikawa complemented the existing ensemble, as did sculptures by Heinz Baumüller, Mark di Suvero, and Eduardo Chillida, among others. Tadao Ando's big arch, today's entrance to the Langen Foundation, was realized in 1998/99 as one of the first buildings serving as a portal to the missile base.
Site area: 120,220 m2; Building area museum by Ando: 1,860 m2; Opening 2004.
Under construction in North Philly. When finished, this structure will be the home of the Community Ecology Center. This structure is being built primarily of found materials... Basically, the community is clearing the lot and building a useful structure from the trash. This looks like a win-win to me.

This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images
