A few years ago, Cambridge City Council was criticized in the press over the poor quality of its ageing public toilets. The council responded by commissioning architect Freeland Rees Roberts to design some stylish new toilet blocks for Cambridge's parks and public spaces. The first was built in a corner of Parker's Piece in 2004. And this, the second one, was built on Midsummer Common in 2005.
The unusually shaped copper roof was designed by the architects to complement shape and colour of neighbouring avenue of Horse Chestnut trees than run along Victoria Avenue.

Lorsque le contrat de donation entre Peter et Irene Ludwig et la ville de Cologne fut signé en 1976, le musée Wallraf-Richartz était déjà devenu trop petit pour présenter de manière appropriée toutes les œuvres d'art qui lui étaient confiées. Le conseil municipal et l'administration ont donc décidé de faire construire un nouveau bâtiment, le Musée Ludwig, pour abriter conjointement les collections d'art du XXe siècle des deux musées.
L'emplacement choisi pour le nouveau « double musée » était une zone située entre le chœur est de la cathédrale et le Rhin. Le site était délimité au nord par les voies ferrées et à l'ouest par le Römisch- Germanisches Museum (Musée romano-germanique) et la cathédrale. Le projet offrait l'occasion d'envisager à nouveau de relier la région au Rhin, longtemps isolée par une route nationale et une ligne ferroviaire très fréquentées, puisque le trafic ferroviaire à cet endroit devait être interrompu en 1978. Le trafic automobile devait également passer par le Rhin. Tunnel des Banques, achevé en 1982. Le centre-ville historique a ainsi pu à nouveau s'ouvrir sur le Rhin.
Une superficie de 260 000 mètres cubes a été aménagée pour la structure, soit un volume correspondant à celui de la cathédrale de Cologne. Si cet immense volume évite de paraître intimidant ou oppressant, c’est avant tout grâce aux éléments du complexe superbement agencés et élégamment combinés. Cela est évident dans les toits en appentis recouverts de zinc, qui contribuent de manière significative à l’apparence distinctive du bâtiment dans le paysage urbain. Les façades sont revêtues de briques dont les rangées verticales animent l’extérieur du bâtiment par leur modeste structure ornementale. Contribuant également à éviter une apparence intimidante, les architectes ont situé sous terre les parties du complexe qui ne nécessitent pas de lumière naturelle. Il s'agit notamment de la salle de concert de la Philharmonie ainsi que des espaces techniques et des parkings.
Initialement construit pour deux musées, le bâtiment abrite désormais uniquement le Musée Ludwig. Ses propriétés n’ont cessé de s’étendre, notamment grâce au mécénat soutenu des Ludwig. En 1994, le couple fait également don de son importante collection Picasso au musée. La liaison avec le Musée Wallraf-Richartz a été dissoute et en 2001 l'institution, rebaptisée Musée Wallraf-Richartz Fondation Corboud, a ouvert ses portes dans un nouveau bâtiment qui lui est propre. Conçu par Oswald Mathias Ungers, il est situé entre l'hôtel de ville et la salle des fêtes de Gürzenich.

When the donation contract between Peter and Irene Ludwig and the city of Cologne was signed in 1976, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum had already become too small to adequately present all the works of art entrusted to it. The municipal council and the administration therefore decided to build a new building, the Ludwig Museum, to jointly house the 20th century art collections of the two museums.
The location chosen for the new "double museum" was an area between the east choir of the cathedral and the Rhine. The site was bounded to the north by the railway lines and to the west by the Römisch-Germanisches Museum (Roman-Germanic Museum) and the cathedral. The project offered the opportunity to once again consider connecting the region to the Rhine, long isolated by a busy national road and railway line, since rail traffic there was to be discontinued in 1978. Automobile traffic was also to pass by the Rhine. Bank Tunnel, completed in 1982. The historic city center was thus able to open up onto the Rhine again.
An area of 260,000 cubic meters was provided for the structure, a volume corresponding to that of Cologne Cathedral. If this immense volume avoids appearing intimidating or oppressive, it is above all thanks to the superbly arranged and elegantly combined elements of the complex. This is evident in the zinc-clad shed roofs, which contribute significantly to the building's distinctive appearance in the urban landscape. The facades are clad in bricks, the vertical rows of which enliven the exterior of the building with their modest ornamental structure. Also helping to avoid an intimidating appearance, the architects located underground those parts of the complex that do not require natural light. These include the Philharmonie concert hall as well as technical spaces and car parks.
Originally built for two museums, the building now houses only the Ludwig Museum. Its properties continued to expand, notably thanks to the sustained patronage of the Ludwigs. In 1994, the couple also donated their important Picasso collection to the museum. The connection with the Wallraf-Richartz Museum was dissolved and in 2001 the institution, renamed the Wallraf-Richartz Museum Corboud Foundation, opened its doors in a new building of its own. Designed by Oswald Mathias Ungers, it is located between the town hall and the Gürzenich village hall.
Back inside to the 3 rd layer of insulation, wood cladding. I lost count of how many packs we bought. You can see also the wires protruding where the sockets will be. Holes drilled through the vertical batons to join the electrics in a loop from socket to socket then into the fuse box.

(CNN) — When the coronavirus pandemic shut down his restaurants, Colton Weiss knew that to survive, he would need a creative (and safe) solution to keep serving his customers.
So he started thinking like his grandfather.
Weiss' grandfather, Mel Weiss, was the first to bring carhop dining — in which waiters bring a restaurant order directly to people in their cars — to San Francisco in 1947.
The popularity of carhop dining evolved in America in tandem with the popularity of the automobile itself, predating the fast-food drive-through and reaching a peak in the years following World War II. The elder Weiss had seen the roller-skating, poodle-skirt-clad waitresses delivering trays of burgers and shakes to diners seated in their Buick Roadmasters and Chevy Aerosedans at eateries across Los Angeles.
So he took a chance and introduced the concept to Northern California, importing the kitschy carside service to his very first Mel's Drive In location, at 140 South Van Ness Avenue, and securing Mel's Drive In a place in car culture history
Built in 1931, this small Art Deco-style limestone-clad building was designed by Magnus Jemne to house the St. Paul Women's City Club. Located on an irregularly-shaped site at the corner of St. Peter Street and Kellogg Boulevard, the building echoes this condition in its design, with rounded facades that peel away from the street in places, with a more orthogonal base below. The building was sold to the Minnesota Museum of Art in 1972, and now houses an architectural firm. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
today I've been fitting some new security cladding to the front of the house - the secret of its sucess is that it looks just like regular bricks - no need to alarm the neigbours - just act casual - don't think anyone's spotted it - thought I'd give it a coat of paint so it really blends in - the Zebras haven't noticed anything unusual - thanks for looking - best bigger

Komic, Himachal Pradesh, India
Komic, literally meaning “eye of a snow cock” (Ko – snow-cock, mic – eye), is a remote village in Spiti valley. It is the world's highest village in the world connected with a motorable road. It also has the world's highest restaurant. Komic village is situated at an height of 4587 metres or 15027 feet above sea level.
The Lundup Tsemo Gompa Buddhist Monastery in Komic houses the ‘Maitreya Buddha’ (Future Buddha). People believe that the Maitreya Buddha looks after the wellbeing of the villagers. The 14th-century monastery has a fortified castle made of slanted mud walls, taking you back to the yesteryears through the beautiful murals, scriptures, and arts.
got the M9-P re-clad while the sensor was being replaced - never got around to taking a shot of it though.
My brother's Manus' family have been building a new house - they will move in in April. I am amazed at the quality of the stone cladding. I think it is art- I could look at the patterns for ages.. All of the stone you see has been collected from around the house, either surface stones lying on the field or from the earth dug out for the foundations. This earth was riddled with a tractor riddle and then washed and left in piles for the stonemasons to pick over and use.
As a gardener I usually curse having stony ground. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining waiting to be found.

Yesterday I went to my favoured woodyard to get a price for imported 150mm x 35mm redwood Loglap treated green (tanalised) shed timber cladding. For a 4.2m long piece it was £25.80 (inc VAT). Expensive.
They have brilliant customer service, and the guy behind the counter introduced me to this composite cladding, perfect for a shed.
It comes in slightly cheaper than the Loglap timber… But… it never needs painting or staining. Just power washing annually!
There are 8 colours available… Ivory, Light grey, Teak, Redwood, Stone grey, Olive green, Charcoal, and Coffee.
Current we’re mulling it over, but, we like the Charcoal.
