Europe, Holland, Hoofddorp, Haarlemmermeerse Bos, Hydrapier pavilion (Asymptote) Vork & Mes restaurant (Jonathan Karpathios) (cut from all sides)
The Hydrapier Pavillion was the main pavillion of the Floriade horticultural exposition of 2002. It was designed by Asymptote (Hani Rashid & Lise Anne Couture) here .
The building is currently used by the excellent Vork en Mes restaurant here.
And no, it's not a Dutch monsoon giving the building it's wet appearance but the fact that the roof doubles as a cascade ánd a pond.
The Painting While Impaired (PWI) checklist ...

2. Weaving in the lane ..... check
3. Painting wavy lines ..... check
4. Pulled over ..... check
then ...
5. Couldn't find a straight line to walk ..... and check
What might look like an ordinary place appealed to me: in the upper right corner - supported by impressive light- finally(!) an asymptote.
Asymptote is defined as a line that a graph approaches but does not intersect. After all these years I finally grabbed a real one in everyday life ... it would have made my late math teacher proud :-)
Perfect for Lines and Planes: surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.

De grote vijver in het Haarlemmermeerse Bos. Rechts is de Hydra Pier zichtbaar. Het paviljoen van de gemeente Haarlemmermeer op de Floriade van 2002 is het resultaat van de samenwerking tussen Asymptote Architects uit New York en Bronsvoort Blaak Architecten BNA.
An artificial lake in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands. It was constructed for a garden exhibition. To the right a pavillion is visible. It was designed by Asymptote Architects from New York and Bronsvoort Blaak Architecten from the Netherlands.
The Yas Marina Circuit was built to host the formula 1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi of November 2009.
This modern circuit is located on Yas Island, 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi.
The marina includes residential areas, sports facilities, hotels, resorts, and Ferrari World

The male curve is an abrupt rise followed by an equally abrupt fall. The female curve is a slow rise to an extended asymptote...

impressions from a Business Trip to Abu Dhabi, staying at the YAS Marina Hotel. The Hotel is designed by Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture.
The hotel is located within the Yas Marina Circuit. The building, designed by Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, principals of New York based Asymptote Architecture, consists of two 12 storey hotel towers, one set within the race circuit and another placed in the Marina itself, linked together by a monocoque steel and glass bridge and Grid Shell structure that both cross above and over the Yas Marina Circuit F1 race track.

For its flagship in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City, Alessi, the ultra-design-conscious Italian manufacturer of household objects, found a hot location—on Greene Street, where a dense cluster of design stores guarantees high-volume, well-heeled pedestrian traffic.
Alessi hired Asymptote Architecture, a New York firm, whose principals, Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, have forged an avant-garde reputation based on digitally generated forms. Visible from the street, the jagged, receding planes are dramatized by 2-foot-wide light bars that edge the folds.

A gravity well or gravitational well is a conceptual model of the gravitational field surrounding a body in space. The more massive the body, the deeper and more extensive the gravity well associated with it. The Sun is very massive, relative to other bodies in the solar system, so the corresponding gravity well that surrounds it appears "deep" and far-reaching. The gravity wells of asteroids and small moons, conversely, are often depicted as very shallow. Anything on the surface of a planet or moon is considered to be at the bottom of that celestial body's gravity well, and so escaping the effects of gravity from such a planet or moon, (to enter outer space,) is sometimes called "climbing out of the gravity well." The deeper a gravity well is, the more energy any space-bound "climber" must use to escape it.
In astrophysics, a gravity well is specifically the gravitational potential field around a massive body. Other types of potential wells include electrical and magnetic potential wells. Physical models of gravity wells are sometimes used to illustrate orbital mechanics. Gravity wells are frequently confused with embedding diagrams used in general relativity theory, but the two concepts are distinctly separate, and not directly related.
Both the rigid gravity well and the rubber-sheet model are frequently misidentified as models of general relativity, due to an accidental resemblance to general relativistic embedding diagrams,[citation needed] and perhaps Einstein's employment of gravitational "curvature" bending the path of light, which he described as a prediction of general relativity. In particular, the embedding diagram most commonly found in textbooks (an isometric embedding of a constant-time equatorial slice of the Schwarzschild metric in Euclidean 3-dimensional space) superficially resembles a gravity well.
Embedding diagrams are, however, fundamentally different from gravity wells in a number of ways. Most importantly, an embedding is merely a shape, while a potential plot has a distinguished "downward" direction; thus turning a gravity well "upside down" (by negating the potential) turns the attractive force into a repulsive force, while turning a Schwarzschild embedding upside down (by rotating it) has no effect, since it leaves its intrinsic geometry unchanged. Geodesics following across the Schwarzschild surface would bend toward the central mass like a ball rolling in a gravity well, but for entirely different reasons. There is no analogue of the Schwarzschild embedding for a repulsive field: while such a field can be modeled in general relativity, the spatial geometry cannot be embedded in three dimensions.[citation needed]
The Schwarzschild embedding is commonly drawn with a hyperbolic cross section like the potential well, but in fact it has a parabolic cross section which, unlike the gravity well, does not approach a planar asymptote. See Flamm's paraboloid
The The Yas Hotel is located within the Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi. It is the first new hotel in the world to be built over an F1 race circuit.
The Hotel, designed by Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, principals of New York based Asymptote Architecture, consists of two twelve story hotel towers, one set within the race circuit and another placed in the Marina itself, linked together by a monocoque steel and glass bridge and Grid Shell structure that both cross above and over the Yas Marina Circuit F1 race track.
Asymptote created and conceived of the building as an architectural landmark embodying key influences and local and global inspirations ranging from the aesthetics and forms associated with speed and spectacle to the artistry and geometries that form the basis of ancient Islamic art and craft traditions.
Of architectural and engineering significance is the main feature of the hotelʼs design: a 217-meter expanse of sweeping, curvilinear glass and steel covering known as the Grid Shell: it features an LED lighting system incorporating video feeds that are transmitted over the 5,389 pivoting diamond-shaped colour changing LED panes. This Grid-Shell component is a key aspect of the overall architectural design and significance of the project by producing an atmospheric-like veil visible from miles away.
The Yas Hotel was designed by Asymptote to become a significant and important landmark for Abu Dhabi. The pixelated lighting design by Asymptote in collaboration with Arup Lighting creates a dynamic appearance at night, with colours flowing smoothly across the double curved surface.
"The hotel embodies various key influences and inspirations ranging from the aesthetics and forms associated with speed, movement and spectacle to the artistry and geometries forming the basis of ancient Islamic art and craft traditions, a perfect union and harmonious interplay between elegance and spectacle. The search here was inspired by what one could call the 'art' and poetics of motor racing, specifically Formula 1, coupled with the making of a place that celebrates Abu Dhabi as a cultural and technological tour de force
The name has recently been changed to Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi
