This 105-acre island property is connected to New Rochelle by a drawbridge built in the 1920s. After Playland, Glen Island is the second most widely used park in the County Parks system. One of Westchester’s unique jewels, it was initially developed as a summer resort by John H. Starin. The original design exhibited the five cultures of the western world on individual islands linked together with piers and causeways. Today, the islands have been merged with substantial fill areas totaling 130 acres, providing a beautiful crescent shaped beach with access to the Long Island Sound.
At first glance the roof lines of this small structure look like a miniature Shinto shrine. But the cross beam at the front is a scale model of the ones found in Buddhist temples with stylized elephants with prominent trunk and tusks at each end. And the endcaps on the roof ridge are the ancient symbol of Buddhism that originated in the north of India. Theoretically this spot could express a dual function, since up until the 1870s local people easily conflated the mercies of Shinto kami and Buddhist bodhisattva. Only after the 1870s did the new constitutional government in Tokyo begin segregating and separating Shinto (an indigenous religion) from Buddhism (a foreign religion), according to the doctrine of 廃仏毀釈 (haibutsu kishaku, abolish Buddhism, destroy Shakyamuni) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haibutsu_kishaku

Came across this remarkably structured pattern in the creek flowing out of Beaver Lake. Bubbles forming as the water cascaded over a ledge were caught in a pool and as they were compressed the wind shifting the water a little one way then the other they formed concentric ribbons of wavey curves. A semi submerged grass bisected and organized the lines of bobble into defined perpendicular strips.
Such a strong design formed out of the chaos.

At approximately 10:30 pm Lincoln Fire Rescue were dispatched to an address on Mountainview Road near Konkle Road for a report of a barn on fire. It was reported that the barn is typically used to house animals, however at the time of the fire the animals were believed to be out of the barn; and only hay was being stored inside. Multiple passerbys noticed the flames and called 9-1-1; the orange glow from the fire could be seen below the escarpment illuminating the night sky up the mountain. Firefighters performed a defensive attack once they arrived to the barn fully-involved and gas tanks exploding in the rear. Crews were on scene for several hours to extinguish the blaze and required an excavator to assist with moving debris. There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is unknown at this time. West Lincoln Fire and Grimsby Fire provided mutual aid tankers to the scene, which was in an area without hydrants.

FUNNEL VISION
The purpose of this structure is to act as a place for learning and engaging with the natural environment, where the sky becomes your theater to enhance the user's experience with the site. Since the site sits on a high location, the intention with this building is to take advantage of the different perspectives on the sites view. To not obstruct existing views as you approach the building, much of the structure is fixed and embedded underground. The outdoor exhibit space loops around the top of the mound providing 360 views of the site and its horizon. The funnel that vertically pierces the building, pokes out of the top of the slope creating a large circular aperture overhead, funneling down to the water purification system on the bottom floor. The center aperture has multiple functions, acting as a ledge, indoor rainwater feature, and naked eye observatory for the bottom exhibit floor. Other major Apertures funnel perpendicular to the centered funnel to mysteriously peak out of the hilltop when you see the building from a distance while also providing directed views of the sky. Each floor of the structure focuses on different ideas of the site’s different perspectives. While the top focuses on 360 views outdoors, the middle is more oriented and enclosed, and with the bottom exposed exhibit space completely directed towards the towers. The main material of this building is concrte and steel for sturdy foundation and then finished with cement cladding and locally found wood for interior walls and details.
I'm sure someone more current than I can identify this uh... building.
Update a high end apartment building.

"We wanted to create a public sculpture which, rather than dealing with topics of victory or defeat, honours the everyday battles of growing up.”

Michael Elmgreen (b.1961) and Ingar Dragset (b.1969) have worked in a collaboration since 1995, with works based around sculpture and installation.
