After the Bennington tornado became fully rain wrapped, we dropped back on it a bit. This was primarily because storms like this can tend to cycle and drop a new tornado further south (potentially closer to us) but also to check out its structure.

I'm fascinated by architectural structures - here two tall buildings - that combine to make a new unique structure.

I'm not sure how to call this structure, but there are four of them: two at each end of the Maria Kristina zubia (Maria Cristina bridge)

The ‘newspaper stand’ is soon becoming a forgotten way to communicate with the public. With more online news subscriptions being made, newspaper companies are leaving these structures abandoned. I want to use this endangered specie as a new way to communicate with the public once more. This is achieved using the concept of ‘site specific’ in the real world as well as the online world, and also by introducing a different concept of ‘time specific’. This technique helps to create a story on the street as well as the webpage in which the images are added to. Each newspaper stand represents a single page in the story “The Story of How Things Came to Bee”. Once the newspaper stand is placed back in the location from which it was originally borrowed from, a picture is taken at the exact time in which the story takes place. By adding the images to the webpage it allows for a narrative to bee created by using ‘notes’ (these are viewed by scrolling over the image) which can not bee seen on the street. Lastly, a map showing the locations of the newspaper stand is sited as well, allowing the online viewer to travel to each location and view these scenes in real life.
"Telephone companies have been abandoning their public telephone booths by taking out the phones and leaving the structures beehind. (Probably due to the rise in cell phone users.) I want to reuse these structures as a way of communication with the public once more by replacing that empty space with paper-mache beehives. To me, this symbolizes the irony beehind the question, 'where have so many of the bees gone' and the theory that cell phone signals have been misguiding their normal patterns of migration"
Netherlands Architecture Institute Museumplein, Rotterdam; architect Jo Coenen, 1988-1993, renovation finished 2011.
The new architecture institute had formulated three core tasks on which the program of requirements for the building was to be based: the collection, management and accessibility of archives and collections - including the library; the study of this material and monitoring of current developments; and the dissemination of the resulting knowledge in the form of exhibitions, publications and events. Coenen designed a separate structure for each of these tasks, adding a fourth section intended for public functions that included a cafe, bookshop and auditorium. The archive is housed in a longitudinal, slightly curved 200-metre-long building made of concrete and red and aluminium-colored corrugated sheet. This structure has been slightly lifted up in order to render it less solid, creating an arcade underneath the building. The exhibition area is a rectangular, closed box of brownish-purple brick.
This structure is made from bottles. I didn’t get a good shot with the sun shining through them, but it’s very unique. The inside of a wall is shown on the right.
