The Pavilion at the Nature Boardwalk (South Pond) near the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois was designed by Studio Gang Architects. Inspired by the tortoise shell, the laminated structure has bent-wood members and a series of interconnected fiberglass pods. Built in 2010.
Nothing truly beautiful ever asks for attention. It simply captures you.

Very fine brass woven wire. It's been sitting in the "wire" drawer in my craft room for ages and now it's finally getting used! lol.. HMM :-)
One summer morning after a heavy dew fell overnight, I spotted this intricate spider web. It was woven on and around some rhododendron leaves. The first thing I thought of was that the web and leaves were shaped just like a sailboat.

A new carpet, woven based on the original design of the historic Ardabil carpet, was unveiled at the next to Chini Khaneh Museum in Janat Sara museum - Sheikh Safi-aldin complex in Ardabil
The Ardabil carpets are two prominent pieces of Iranian carpet art from the Safavid era. One of these carpets, known as the "original Ardabil carpet," is housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, while the other, a smaller version, known as the "twin carpet," is displayed in the Freer and Sackler Galleries in Washington, D.C.
Some researchers believe the carpets were woven in workshops in Tabriz or Ardabil, and the name "Maqsud Kashani" appears in the border of the main carpet, referring to a Kashani weaver.
During the Qajar period, following an earthquake in Ardabil that damaged some historical buildings, these carpets were sold to a British dealer named James Morier to raise funds for the restoration of the buildings. The carpets were then transported to England and displayed in museums. Ardabil ostan (province) - Iran
Ultimately, the Ardabil carpets are not only regarded as symbols of Iranian art and culture but are also considered among the 50 most significant artistic and historical works in the world.
فرش جدید بافته شده بر اساس طرح اصلی فرش تاریخی اردبیل در جنب موزه چینی خانه اردبیل رونمایی شده است
فرشهای اردبیل دو قطعه برجسته از هنر فرشبافی ایرانی هستند که به دوران صفویه تعلق دارند. یکی از این فرشها، که به "فرش اردبیل اصلی" معروف است، در موزه ویکتوریا و آلبرت در لندن نگهداری میشود و دیگری که نسخهای کوچکتر است، به نام "فرش دوقلو" شناخته میشود و در موزه فریر و سمیتسونیان در واشنگتن دیسی قرار دارد.
برخی محققان معتقدند که فرشها در کارگاههای تبریز یا اردبیل بافته شدهاند و در حاشیه فرش اصلی نام "مقصود کاشانی" به چشم میخورد که احتمالاً اشاره به بافندهای کاشانی دارد.
در دوره قاجاریه، پس از وقوع زلزلهای در اردبیل که به برخی از بناهای تاریخی آسیب رساند، این فرشها برای تأمین منابع مالی جهت مرمت بناها به دلالی انگلیسی به نام جیمز موریر فروخته شدند. این فرشها سپس به انگلستان منتقل شدند و در موزهها به نمایش گذاشته شدند.
در نهایت، فرشهای اردبیل نه تنها به عنوان نماد هنر و فرهنگ ایرانی شناخته میشوند، بلکه بهعنوان یکی از 50 اثر برجسته هنری و تاریخی در دنیا نیز مورد احترام قرار دارند.
