Grøndalsvej 1. These large green buildings belong to Aarhus Kommune (municipality) and contain administration offices for the departments of Nature & environment, Traffic & roads and Disabilties & psychiatry.
Construction started in 2011 (after demolishing the older buildings serving the same purposes), but completion took 2 years, and even before they were commisioned, the municipality started discussions of selling them on, since their needs had changed. So far, no sale has happened, possibly because the buildings have been plagued with problems from day one. One major problem is the green cladding breaking up and dropping to the ground. Seeing them without any tiles missing has been a very rare sight, right from the beginning and in 2017 fences were put up all the way around the building to prevent pedestrians from getting to close and risk getting hit by a falling tile. Covered scaffolds were placed by the entrances to provide a safe access!
In winter 2017-18 all the green tiles were removed and replaced with... absolutely nothing! Half a year later, the buildings still stand as ripped skeletons. Scaffolds are up in several places, but there has been no visible activity for months.

From a registrant photowalk series made for the local historical society. The purpose of these walks is not to take photos of individual buildings, but rather to document the streets as a whole in order to preserve the views for future generations.
Some houses will inevitably be obscured behind fences and hedges. In such cases, there will be a photo of the hedge or fence in question. The photo will, of course, be rubbish, but it will accurately show the best possible view from a public road. Over the years, fences and hedges will come and go (as will the houses), sometimes improving the views, other times, the opposite.
I've made every attempt to blur visible names, faces and license plates, in order to respect people's privacy.

An extension of iron Aelfred designed by joel cooper and folded by me from an uncut irregular concave octagon. Named after a character in super paper mario since it has a comically large mustache. I'm pretty happy with the shininess of the paint. But I'm trying to get away from glossy acrylics and trying to transition into acrylics with more of a matte finish.
Built in 1822-1827, this Greek Revival-style building was designed by Robert Mills to serve as the South Carolina State Hospital, which was open to paying patients with psychiatric illnesses. The psychiatric hospital was the second to open in the United States, after Virginia founded theirs in 1773 at Williamsburg. The Mills Building is the oldest remaining original psychiatric hospital building in the United States, and allowed some people of color to be admitted early on in its history, though this was only formalized in 1848, and a new, racially segregated psychiatric hospital for people of color was opened in 1910 north of the city of Columbia. The building served as a temporary prisoner of war camp in 1865, housing prisoners relocated from Camp Sorghum. The building features a red flemish bond brick exterior, doric pilasters, arched bays on the second floor, twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows, oxeye windows at the attic of the central wing, a domed cupola on the roof of the central wing with a dome, a rusticated brick base, two angled wings on ether side of the central wing, which connect to rectilinear wings added in 1838 and 1842, a two-story front portico at the second and third floors with Doric columns, an arcade at the base with arched openings and rusticated stone cladding, a front entrance door with a fanlight transom, and a front pediment with a fanlight attic window, and a semi-circular staircase in the center of the rear facade. The building was utilized to house patients until 1937, when it became home to the hospital’s nursing school, with a dormitory for nursing students, nurses, classrooms, offices, and a library, until the nursing school closed in 1950. Following the closure of the school, the building remained in use as a dormitory for nurses, as well as continuing to house classrooms, the hospital library, and offices. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973. The hospital closed in 1996, at which point the building was home to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, which remains in the building, and saw the addition of a modern office wing to the rear of the original structure, as well as the restoration of the exterior of the original building.

Maria Theresa monument in Vienna
Maria Theresa Square
The Maria Theresa monument is the most important ruler monument of the Habsburg monarchy in Vienna. It is reminiscent of the Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled from 1740 to 1780, and is since 1888 on the Maria Theresa Square on the Vienna ring road (Castle Square - Burgring) between the then Imperial Museums, in 1891 opened the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History) and in 1889 opened the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), in front of the background of the Museum Quarter, then the imperial stables. This by Tritons and Najad Fountains accompanied Ensemble monument counts to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.
Historical Background
View from the top (2010)
The Empire of Austria in 1859 and 1866 lost Lombardy and Veneto to the new Kingdom of Italy. It was in 1866 forced to resigne after the defeat of the German war, the Prussians had triggered by violation of the rules of the German Confederation from Germany, which in 1871 was constituted as German Empire under a new empire. In 1867 Emperor Franz Joseph I. in Compromise with Hungary had to agree to the formal division of the empire into a ruled from Vienna cisleithanian and ruled from Budapest transleithanian half of the Empire, with Hungary increasingly presenting itself not as a part of the empire, but as a largely independent state. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitha
During the World Exhibition 1873 in Vienna an economic crisis had occurred, the "founders' crash - Gründerkrach" that devalued liberalism as the leading political movement and new mass parties, for the time being, the Christian Social Party, and later the Social Democrats, putting forth. In addition, more and more national movements were felt in the multiethnic state.
Those centrifugal and the imperial power eroding tendencies one would counteract by patriotic appeals to splendor and glory of the empire. At the since 1858 under construction and in 1865 opened new Vienna ring road around the old town was offered the chance. On the Maria Theresa Square the center facing adjoining Heldenplatz outside the Hofburg in 1860 and 1865 monuments of the two most important generals of the monarchy were built. For the Maria Theresa square, which with the Heldenplatz should form an Imperial Forum, it was a good occasion to erect a monument to the historical mother of the nation. She had by her marriage to Francis Stephen of Lorraine and his election as emperor, the Roman-German Empire brought back to Vienna and the continuation of the dynasty, now as House of Habsburg-Lorraine, secured. She referred to a time when the development of the monarchy was not dependent on any political party nor on national political considerations, but by the wisdom of the rulers. Her reputation and popularity should radiate to the current empire.

Maria Theresa surrounded by the allegories of the cardinal virtues
For the execution of the sculptures in 1874 the three sculptors Johannes Benk, Carl Kundmann and Caspar Zumbusch submitted designs. Emperor Franz Joseph I decided for Zumbusch, with his student Anton Brenek around 13 years working on the bronze sculptures, which have a total weight of 44 tons. Carl von Hasenauer designed the architecture of the monument.
With the base, the monument covers an area of 632 square meters and is 19.36 m high, on top the seated figure of the Empress with 6 m height. Base and chain pedestal consist of Mauthausen granite from Enghagen in Upper Austria, pedestal and base of brown hornblende granite from Petersburg-Jeschitz at Pilsen in the Czech Republic, the columns of serpentinite from Wiesen near Sterzing in South Tyrol.
The program's content for the monument came from Alfred von Arneth, director of the Imperial House, Court and State Archives. The monarch herself sits on her throne at the top, in the left hand a scepter and the Pragmatic Sanction, the State and the Constitutional Treaty, her allowing the rule in the Habsburg lands as woman, saluting with the right hand the people. Around the throne on the cornice are sitting as allegorical personifications of the cardinal virtues of justice, strength, gentleness and wisdom four female figures .
At the four sides of the base each is located a circular field with a relief and before that a freestanding statue in thematic context:
The consultants of the Archduchess are represented by Wenzel Anton Kaunitz as a statue and Johann Christoph von Bartenstein, Gundakar Thomas Graf Starhemberg and Florimond Claude of Mercy-Argenteau in relief, the background shows the Gloriette in the garden of Schonbrunn Palace.
For the administration stand Friedrich Wilhelm von Haugwitz (statue) and Antal Grassalkovich I, Samuel Brukenthal, Paul Joseph of Riegger, Karl Anton von Martini and Joseph von Sonnenfels in a consulting room in the Imperial Palace.
For the military stand Joseph Wenzel I (statue) with Franz Moritz von Lacy, Andreas Hadik of Futak and Franz Leopold of Nádasdy in front of the castle in Wiener Neustadt, in which in 1752 the Theresa Military Academy was established.
Science and art are represented by the physician Gerard van Swieten (statue), the numismatist Joseph Hilarius Eckhel, the historian György Pray and the composer Christoph Willibald Gluck, Joseph Haydn and the as child represented Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in front of the Old University.

Open base during the renovation (2008)
The monument is being totally renovated since October 2008. In a first step, the base whose granite cladding and the foundation were restored. Under the monument in the course of the work a 600-square-foot brick vault was discovered as a supporting structure that is similar to already known components underneath the equestrian statues on Heroes' Square. In a second step, the stone and metal surfaces are being rehabilitated until probably October 2013.

Taxonomic composition of soil microbial community based on the metagenomes from five soil habitats.A) Taxonomic cladogram showing all detected taxa (relative abundance ≥0.5%) in at least one sample. Taxonomic clades with more than five samples ≥0.5% abundance were used as inputs for LEfSe. Seven rings of the cladogram stand for domain (innermost), phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species (outermost), respectively. Enlarged circles in color are the differentially abundant taxa identified to be metagenomic biomarkers and the circle color is corresponding to the individual soil habitat in which the taxon is the most abundant among 5 soil ecosystems (Green for forest soil, red for grassland, purple for Arctic soil, blue for mangrove sediment, and orange for desert). B) The histograms of relative abundances of family-level biomarkers in each sample. Bacterial families significantly differential among all pairwise comparisons were illustrated. The average abundance of each family in the individual soil habitat was denoted by the horizontal line.

The Lightweight Concept Vehicle programme was initiated by Land Rover in the early 1990s, and was a serious investigation into the production of lighter, cleaner and greener off-roaders. The idea was to test-bed new technologies, harking back to the days of the British Leyland Technology ECV programme, and one of the targets was to come up with a Defender replacement capable of 40mpg.
The LCV1 based on a Discovery 1, and was effectively that car re-clad in aluminium – and produced encouraging results. That led to LCV2, which was a series of prototypes closely based on the Defender 90. Underneath, though, it was radically different to its lookalike, built on a unique bonded and riveted space frame. Despite this, it was strong – and is said to have the strength and durability of the production Defender. That was developed into the ultimate incarnation of the LCV, the LCV⅔ – or LCV ‘two-thirds’, as it was known internally.
The LCV⅔ was built to demonstrate to company management what could be achieved in the next phase of the programme, LCV3. Sadly, that never got underway, leaving us with a fascinating insight into the mindset of Land Rover in the late 1990s, and what its idea of a new-age Defender replacement would look like. It’s also an interesting comparison with the Land Rover SD5 of the 1970s.
The styling inside and out was conservative, yet progressive, designed to appeal to management – but it was underneath where all the action takes place. The space frame design philosophy and construction techniques were carried over from the LCV2, while the engine was a KV6 lifted straight out of the Rover 800. The pick-up was considerably more aerodynamic than the Defender 90, and looks really appealing even today. However, the project never took off – investment costs would have been too high in an era when the emphasis was on getting the Range Rover L322 and Rover 75 into production.

Tulp (Tulipa) is een geslacht van eenzaadlobbige planten uit de Leliefamilie (Liliaceae). Van origine komt de bloem uit Turkije. Ze werd later ook in Turkije zelf waargenomen, waar het een populaire voorjaarsbloeier werd, voor hen het symbool van leven en vruchtbaarheid. In 1562 kwam de tulp via Antwerpen als eerste Europa binnen. Rond 1593 verschenen de eerste exemplaren in Nederland. De eerste gedocumenteerde exemplaren werden door Carolus Clusius geplant in de door hem vanaf 1593 geleide Hortus botanicus Leiden. De bostulp (Tulipa sylvestris) is de enige soort die in Nederland in het wild voorkomt en is ingeburgerd vanaf de 19e eeuw.
Ottomaanse sultans droegen een tulp op hun tulband als symbool. De naam tulp is zo afkomstig van het Perzische woord 'tulipan' wat tulband betekent.
Gekweekte tulpen
Tulpen kunnen niet in een warm klimaat worden gekweekt, omdat ze een koude nacht en een koude winter nodig hebben om te kunnen groeien.
Tulpenbollen worden gewoonlijk in oktober en november geplant. De bloeiperiode loopt van april tot in juni. Behalve de gecultiveerde tulp kent men ook de 'botanische tulp', die vooral geschikt is voor in de tuin, omdat de bollen in de grond kunnen blijven zitten en het jaar daarop weer uitkomen.
Het kweken van nieuwe bollen gebeurt door in het najaar (oktober en november) tulpenbollen te planten. De knoppen tussen de bolrokken van deze bollen groeien uit tot nieuwe bollen waarbij de oude bol gebruikt wordt als voedsel. De knop die naast het groeipunt zit, de zogenaamde 'A' knop, groeit uit tot een grote bol die te verkopen is voor bloemproductie, of direct aan de consument. De geplante bol bevat naast de 'A' knop, tussen zijn bolrokken nog meer kleine groeiknoppen, de zogenaamde b, c, d en e knoppen, die uitgroeien tot kleine bolletjes (klisters). Deze klisters zitten aan de grote bol vast, en worden in de zomer tijdens het pellen (de wortels en oude huid van de bol verwijderen) van de grote bol afgehaald. In het volgende najaar worden zij weer geplant op het land, om uit te groeien tot een grote bol. Op deze manier houdt men een partij tulpen in stand: de grote bollen worden gebruikt voor bloemproductie of direct verkocht aan de consument en de kleine bollen worden geplant in het najaar. Ruim 75% van de gekweekte tulpenbollen is bestemd voor bloemproductie in binnen of buitenland. De rest wordt als bloembol verkocht aan de consument of belandt in parken en openbare tuinen.
De tulp kent veel willekeurige mutaties die nieuwe kleuren en variaties geven. Deze gemuteerde tulpen waren vroeger heel waardevol, omdat ze een nieuwe lijn voor de kweek mogelijk maakten met interessante nieuwe kleuren.
Sommige tulpen van een bepaalde cultivar zijn gestreept of gevlekt van kleur. Deze effecten ontstaan door een virusinfectie van de bloembol, en wordt niet op een nieuwe generatie overgedragen als die vanaf zaad wordt grootgebracht.
De tulp in Nederland
Nederland is beroemd om zijn gecultiveerde tulpen en is een van de meest dominante exportlanden van tulpen en tulpenbollen. Traditioneel wordt in de lente in de Keukenhof in Lisse een expositie gemaakt van miljoenen tulpen die vooral door toeristen goed wordt bezocht. Daarnaast komen er bussen vol toeristen om de tulpenvelden te bekijken. Het bekendst zijn de meer traditionele velden langs de duinen van Zuid-Holland en de West-Friese polders. Het merendeel van de tulpen is echter te vinden in de Noordoostpolder, de flevopolder en het Noordelijk Zandgebied (omgeving Breezand, Anna Paulowna en Julianadorp). Ook op het eiland Goeree-Overflakkee en in Oostelijk en Zuidelijk Flevoland zijn er tulpenvelden te vinden. In het Noord-Hollandse plaatsje Limmen is de Hortus Bulborum gevestigd. De grootste genenbank ter wereld voor bolgewassen. In deze tuin staan ruim 3500 verschillende soorten tulpen, narcissen, hyacinten, en andere veelal historische voorjaarsbolgewassen.
Tulpenmanie
In de 17e eeuw (1630 - circa 1637) ontstond er in de Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden rond de tulpenbol een bizarre tulpenmanie, ook wel "tulpenrage", "tulpengekte", "tulpomanie" of "bollengekte" genoemd: plotseling werden tulpenbollen speculatieve handelswaar. De gekte dreef de prijzen op tot exorbitante hoogte, zelfs tot de bol zijn gewicht in goud waard was. De rage was eind 1636, begin 1637 op zijn hoogtepunt. In februari 1637 zakte de 'bollenmarkt' even plotseling in als zij ontstaan was; veel bollenspeculanten bleven berooid achter. Tulpen werden gekweekt in allerlei kleuren en door kunstschilders, zoals Nicolaes van Verendael op stillevens uitgebeeld. Vaak waren strepen op de bloem niet genetisch bepaald maar het gevolg van een virusinfectie.
In deze periode zijn ook veel tulpentekeningen gemaakt.
