Further to the west on the spit are the buildings of the second phase. The most distinctive structures built during this phase were the two Vibration Test Buildings, now commonly referred to as ‘The Pagodas’ (National Trust buildings E2 and E3). The specification for the Vibration Test Buildings included the ability to withstand the accidental detonation of 400lbs (181.4kg) of high explosives; they were designed by G W Dixon ARIBA for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and are identical. Both Vibration Test Buildings, their control room and centrifuge were constructed in 1960.
They comprise a large reinforced concrete central cell 16.47m (54ft) by 7.30m (24ft) covered by a massive reinforced concrete roof supported on sixteen reinforced concrete columns. To the south and east of the main chambers are self-contained plant rooms. The main access to the building is from the south through an entrance passage which was originally sealed by a pair of outward opening metal covered wooden doors. On its western side, adjacent to the main entrance passage is a blocked doorway that led to a small staff room and toilet. Inside the buildings on the eastern side of the passageway one set of stairs gives access down to the main test cell and another to a walkway around the top of the chamber. At the end of the passageway is a lift pit, which allowed test pieces to be lowered on to the floor of the main test cell. To assist in manoeuvring heavy objects there are a number of substantial steel eyelets screwed into the underside of the roof. A travelling crane also ran on rails mounted on a ledge beneath the windows, a loose plate on the floor recorded ‘Becker twin Lift Maximum Working Load 40 tons serial A-2647-2’.
The floor of the main cell is formed of parallel and narrowly spaced steel ‘I’ section beams for test rigs to be firmly secured to the structure. To either side are cable ducts. At the same time as being vibrated objects might also be placed in jackets to simulate extremes of heat and cold, or in a portable altitude chamber to mimic the effects of altitudinal changes. Set into the north wall are seven steel plates with vertical cruciform slots that were also used for securing tests rigs or monitoring equipment. Below these are eight pipes opening from the service passageway to the north. In the south wall are three steel plates with horizontal slots, above the plate is stencilled 1-27ft and below it 1-7.5m. The walkway around three sides of the cell was originally protected by a handrail and there is another handrail fixed to the main wall. Running around the wall is a cable conduit and attached to the wall are various pipes for carrying electrical wires, switches, junction boxes and pressure gauges. Signs on the wall above the lift pit record ‘Telephone Instrument Room’, ‘Vac Pump Running, Vac Pump Stopped’ with associated light fittings. At the north east corner of the cell is a doorway to the rear service passage running east to west along the north side of the building. To the east a flight of stairs gives access to the eastern plant room. To the west another set of stairs provides access to the northern side of the lift pit, the upper walkway and to an emergency escape passage through the north side of the traverse. To the south of the main cell are free-standing Burwell brick-built plant rooms. The main plant room is entered through two sets of double doors on its south side, internally are four machinery mounting plinths. Attached to its west wall is a metal cabinet that probably housed equipment to operate the hydraulic compressor for the internal lift. At the eastern end of the building is a store room with a blocked doorway to the south.
This is actually an iron structure where the plant would “climb” through. I decided only to focus on the upper part. The structure makes distinct lines. From photography point of view, I was glad that they haven’t been covered up by greenery and roses.

This was my favorite one of the bunch I think. I happened upon this early in the morning at a local park gazebo.
This is one of those situations where I was hoping there wasn't any morning joggers going by to see me laying down flat on my stomach, hanging off the gazebo with a camera. Would have been a bit weird.

Gigaom Structure Connect conference at Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, CA on Tuesday & Wednesday October 21-22, 2014.
The structure is 2 old lampshades, stripped of material and wired together. The outer covering is and old bamboo shade. The top is some plastic that we cut and then glued blue stones to. It was a fun project.
We consider this our "signature" home. It sits perfectly on a granite hill near Paynesville, Mn and offers the ultimate in aesthetics.
I bought the Harbor Freight Portable Garage (Tent) to cover my car over the winter but once I put the framework structure together it was taller than I needed and wanted so I then figured out how to shorten the height by about 20" or so.
Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues

I have no idea what this black structure might be. Any ideas? It appears to have some sort of harness suspended inside. It's sitting on the lot used for Atlantic Yards infrastructure work. This would be the site of the Barclays Center Arena.
UPDATE: This structure is for signage.
The Kansas State Capitol is now done with all of it's recent construction and has great new additions.
