Turtle inflatable structure. A temporary, pop up structure ideal for concerts, gigs, performances, theaters, festivals and shows. It can also be used as a pop up shop, bar or catering space. #EvolutionDome #Venue #Stage #Festival #Alternative #Theater #CateringSpace #PopUpShop #PopUpBar #ShowSpace #Inflatable #Temporary #Structure #Awning
The ubiquitous concrete and steel structures of the present era go back as far as the 19th century in Glasgow.
Orient House in Cowcaddens, which was completed in 1895, is the best preserved Victorian example of the style. It was designed by William J Anderson, who was appointed as Dean of Architecture at Glasgow School of Art in 1894, during the building's construction. This was the time when the innovative ideas of Glasgow architects such as the young Charles Rennie Mackintosh were in their formative stages.
Anderson died in 1900, unaware of how popular his experimental methods of construction would turn out to be in the new century. It has been suggested that a fatal accident in 1899 in one of Anderson's unconventional structures was a contributory factor in his early death at his own hands.
Anderson's experimental construction methods were developed further by one of his former pupils, James Salmon, in the design of Lion Chambers on the east side of Hope Street.
Salmon and his partner, James. G. Gillespie, produced a modernistic building which was perhaps too ambitious for 1907 when it was completed. It was built with lightweight reinforced concrete with a conventional outward appearance which disguises the fact that the non-structural external walls are only 4 inches thick. From the 4th storey upwards the tower stands on its own without the support of the adjoining block. On these upper levels there are very small common landings leading to a narrow staircase, less than 6 feet wide, tagged on to the side of the building.
The structure was fabricated with the patented "Hennebique Ferro-Concrete" system, which was widely used for civil engineering projects at the time.
In April 1995 the 7 co-owners of the block were refused planning permission for its demolition owing to the historical and architectural novelty of the structure which made it a category "A" listed building. Protective metal mesh was placed around the external shell to hold together the disintegrating concrete.
Lion Chambers is currently unoccupied and will remain so until the money and the collective will is found for refurbishment.
A more likely scenario, given the probable cost of renovation, is that the owners will be granted their wish to pull it down.
This is the "works" which drive a truly enormous crane which entertained us by lifting crates of beer!

NS lashup in Edon OH on the INER. this use to be a NS line till NS shed the line some 15 years ago. so to see an actual NS lashup on this line is somewhat amazing.
IF WE WANT TO SAVE THE EURO WE HAVE TO REBUILD ITS FOUNDATIONS.. .Micheál Martin TD, Leader of Fianna Fáil..Seminar on ?Where now for EMU?..ELDR Congress, Saturday 10th November 2012..Pictured at the Seminar on ?Where now for EMU?. ELDR Congress, Saturday 10th November 2012.. .Micheál Martin TD, Leader of Fianna Fáil..Senator Jean Arthuis, Vice President of Union of Democrats and Independentsin Charge of European Affairs...One of the many positive features of this Congress has been how everyone has been willing to be direct in their contributions. If ever there was a topic which needed people to push aside the formalities and speak directly it is the future of Economic and Monetary Union.. .In 1989 Jacques Delors set out a roadmap for the creation of the Euro and it took only three years before the then member states signed the Maastricht Treaty. It was a project which carried with it the hopes and expectations of the continent. Today confidence in it has collapsed and its foundations are far from secure.. .The fact is that we cannot today be sure that the Euro will survive this crisis intact. We have a moment of relative peace in the crisis, but it is nonetheless a severe crisis which will do immense further damage unless extra action is taken.. .As was said yesterday by Guy Verhofstadt, the Eurozone's net debt position should be entirely manageable in the context of the situation in the rest of the world. Yet it costs dramatically more for Euro countries to secure funding and sovereign debt markets are deeply sceptical of Europe.. .This hasn't happened by accident, it has happened because the Eurozone and elsewhere is that our currency has fundamental design flaws. Even Jacques Delors has acknowledged this.. .As it is currently structured the Economic and Monetary Union cannot be a zone of stability and growth. It doesn't matter how often we recommit ourselves to respecting its rules, unless those rules change then the fundamental dynamics behind this crisi

playing around with imaging once again, trying to get hold of "strong" colors using more or less clear structures... how did I do, so far? ;) at least, it's sort of bright, in a certain way...
Locking up, in a tensile structure @ Dammam cornish ..
---------------------------
Ad-dammam Cornish last tuesday for a photography class assignment..
The Assignment was to choose a theme and take photos for it, while adjusting the Iso, aperture and the shutter speed ..
Our theme ( me and my friends) was about the Cornish.. Sunset time and at night , Ofcourse we were late and we missed the sunset :(
I wasn't there the last class so I didn't got it right.. hoping from now On, my Photogrphy skills will improve, Ur comments will help me alot..
Enjoy :D

Members of the USAG Grafenwoehr Fire Department based in Vilseck respond to a call in the virtual world during the annual U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr's force protection exercise took place for the first time in its history in a virtual world. The all-day event held Dec. 2, 2011 at the Joint Multinational Training Command’s Simulation Center at Camp Aachen took place in a digital replica of the USAG Grafenwoehr Main post. The exercise is implemented once a year to test the reactions and responses of first-responders, as well as the local garrison command structure. (U.S. Army photo by Michael Beaton)
From Wikipedia:
"St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral dedicated to Paul the Apostle.
It sits at the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, and is the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century and was designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
It is generally reckoned to be London's fifth St Paul's Cathedral, all having been built on the same site since AD 604. The cathedral is one of London's most famous and most recognisable sights.
At 365 feet (111m) high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962, and its dome is also among the highest in the world. In terms of area, St Paul's is the second largest church building in the United Kingdom after Liverpool Cathedral.
Important services held at St Paul's include the funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill; Jubilee celebrations for Queen Victoria; peace services marking the end of the First and Second World Wars; the launch of the Festival of Britain and the thanksgiving services for both the Golden Jubilee and 80th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II.
The British Royal Family holds most of its important marriages, christenings and funerals at Westminster Abbey, but St Paul's was used for the marriage of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer. St Paul's Cathedral is still a busy working church, with hourly prayer and daily services.
"Old St Paul's" (generally thought to be the fourth on the site) was gutted in the Great Fire of London of 1666. While it might have been salvageable, albeit with almost complete reconstruction, a decision was taken to build a new cathedral in a modern style instead. Indeed this had been contemplated even before the fire.
The task of designing a replacement structure was officially assigned to Sir Christopher Wren on 30 July 1669.
On Thursday, 2 December 1697, thirty-two years and three months after a spark from Farryner's bakery had caused the Great Fire of London, St Paul's Cathedral came into use.
The 'topping out' of the Cathedral (when the final stone was placed on the lantern) took place in October 1708 and the cathedral was declared officially complete by Parliament on Christmas Day 1711. In fact construction was to continue for several years after that, with the statues on the roof only being added in the 1720s. In 1716 the total costs amounted to £1,095,556 (£147 million as of 2011)."

This fine shanty, designed and built by Supreme Structures, is a classic that will soon feel like part of the family. It has interior beams, plenty of window, a bench and three ice holes and covers. Let’s call it a new home away from home.
Update: This shanty has been SOLD!
