New hospital in Knokke-Heist Belgium.
Ceci n’est pas un hôpital (but a healing environment)
A warm and human living environment close to nature gives patients the chance to heal faster. Several studies show that environmental factors such pleasant views, green, color, social activities, etc. can affect the healing process considerably.

The temporary association AAPROG - BOECKX. - BURO II & ARCHI+I won in 2007 the ambitious competition of vzw Gezondheidszorg Oostkust for a new hospital in Knokke-Heist on the Belgian coast. Ten years later, this futuristic building is to be built: it will be operational in the summer of 2017.
Urban Planning
The grounds where the hospital will be built, extend to 20 hectares. The new health care facility contains a hospital, a rehabilitation centre, a care hotel, an outpatients’ clinic, lecture halls, public events spaces and a helipad. The challenges and ambitions of the new hospital range from being highly functional and future-oriented to sustainable and in any case, conserve the rural character of the environment.
Architecture
The new hospital, inspired on the works of René Magritte, seemingly levitates above the landscape and is dominated by nature and light as far as the rooms below the ground floor. The transition between outside and inside, between the care facilities and the public spaces is almost seamless resulting in an inviting and inspiring context of care. The design is a striking example of “living architecture”: sustainable design and construction with a special eye for integration in the natural landscape, ecological energy and materials used. The particular approach from a true multi-disciplinary team means a break with the traditional approach in architecture and established a precedent in open consideration and collaboration at every level: from concept and design, planning, constructing to occupation and future evolution. The design team achieved a true breakthrough away from the tradition of hospitals as functional boxes with sterile spaces and instead focused on harmonising medical functions, personal relief and comfort and social interaction.
Engineering
A clear choice has been made to use sustainable and energy saving measures, without compromising on the high comfort requirements. Among other things a biomass boiler, cogeneration and borehole energy storage contribute to sustainable energy generation. Special attention is also paid to the operation and interaction of the installations, technical and structural, after commissioning, as to the maintenance contracts of the different technical installations.

Study Abroad Going to college in London starts with the application process. Out of the many choices available, it is important to decide where a student's focus is going to lie.
Study Abroad - There are a number of things you should consider when looking for a college. The most important is finding a college that provides degrees in your desired course of study.
不論什麼學歷和職務，學習經營和管理是有必要的，別抱怨公司沒給你培訓的機會，應該反省為什麼總是替逃避自我學習在找藉口。

This is a better effort on another distortion photo.
This was taken on level 1 in the P-building (Police studies), where I wasn't standing in the middle of a hallway intersection looking so weird. I had to crop this after editing.
Didn't mean to get the guy studying privately though - I didn't realize he was there. I was on my way to a communications class.
Study Tip: Organize your study space. Make sure you have enough space to spread your textbooks and notes out. #study #studytip
Meditative Studies
Zen for your walls.
Small nature studies.
Quietly created as drawing meditations.
Each one is unique.
Peaceful simplicity. Slow looking. Radiating stillness.
These are delicate and deceptively simple drawings on quality artist's paper. Matted to fit a standard 8x10" frame.
My art explores an ongoing love of nature and celebrates the brighter, calmer, radiant side of life. It is a reminder that the world smiles with possibility.

Study Tip: Narrow it Down
If you try to study every single thing your teacher's ever said, you'll go crazy. Instead, focus on the most important topics. If you're not sure what those are, read the study guide (if there is one), or ask your classmates. #study
Stepping back from the books (last photo) and this what you see. A study caught in a time bubble - complete with bakelite phone, oak shelving and floral patterned carpet.
