After getting a bit fed up with some fragile castle builds, I decided to take a break from that and step out of my comfort zone of building for a few days. After browsing some older builds and looking at some Dr. Seuss artwork, I came up with this: the Frog Pilgrimage to the ĆÜBÊ!
I took inspiration from the wonderful builds of Nannan Z., ForlornEmpire, and Si-MOCs! (I promised you a frog Simon, but did you expect four? :O)

Over the years I've seen many photos of the Piet Blom Cube Houses in Rotterdam, many of them have been a variation from this view. This is my attempt to create something a little different with a fisheye photo of the iconic Rotterdam Cube Houses.
I should add that I was inspired by the work of one of my long time Flickr contacts, Paul Brouns. If you don't know his work then I'd urge you to take a look at his flickr account : www.flickr.com/people/brouns/

From Wikipedia "Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside."

Dance lime tree and church in the centre of the little village of Peesten, Franconia (Bavaria), Germany
Some background information:
The so-called dance lime tree stands in the center of the village of Peesten, next to the little church dedicated to St Mary from the 14th century and opposite the hunting château of the noble family von Giech. A dance lime tree at the same spot was already mentioned in writing in 1657, indicating that it was planted between 1550 and 1600. It survived until 1947, when it had died back because of its great age, the effects of weather, and the lack of care during World War II. In 1953, a new dance lime tree was replanted at its historic location.
A listed historical monument is the four-sided dance platform with its timber-framed superstructure, which is virtually in the tree’s "first floor". Beneath it are twelve octagonal support pillars from 1770, and it is accessible via a stone spiral staircase from 1837. The tree hall beneath the tree crown has an area of 87 square metres. The lime tree itself is a protected natural monument. The cube-shaped form of the tree crown is considered unique in Europe. In the region, lime tree festivals (in German: "Lindenkirchweihen") are an old tradition. During these festivals, young residents of the villages dance on the plattforms under their local lime trees.
With ist less than 230 residents, Peesten is a little village located in the district of Kulmbach in the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Franconia. The settlement lies about 20 km (12.5 miles) to the northwest of the city of Bayreuth and about 40 km (25 miles) to the northeast of the city of Bamberg. The name of the village is derived from the Sorbian word "pĕsčane" meaning "sandy place", which implies that it was founded by the West Slavic ethnic group of the Sorbs.
In 1295, Peesten was first mentioned in a document. For almost three centuries, the village was in possession of the knightly vassals of the family Förtsch von Thurnau. A document from 1516 reveals that two members of the noble Förtsch family, Martin and Jorg, divided their properties in Peesten, each receiving a manor and half of the village from Friedrich V, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach. However, both manors were destroyed in 1553 during the Second Margrave War.
After Jorg Förtsch von Thurnau had died in 1566 and his house had become extinct, his sons-in-law Hans Georg von Giech and Johann Friedrich von Künssberg inherited his estates. Both families then divided the inheritance, with Peesten falling to the lords von Giech. In the course of the Thirty Years‘ War, the village was plundered several times by both war parties. In addition to the turmoil of war, the plague struck, almost completely depopulating Peesten. In the year 1634 alone, 103 people died, prompting the local pastor to leave the now-deserted village.
By the late 18th century, Peesten consisted of 36 properties, a church, a rectory, and a schoolhouse. Jurisdiction over the area was held by the manorial court of the noble family von Giech in the nearby little town of Thurnau, which also exercised local and municipal authority as well as lordship over all the estates. From 1797 to 1810, the village fell under the patrimonial court of Thurnau. In 1810, Peesten became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. As part of the municipal reform of 1811, the tax district of Peesten was established, including twelve even smaller villages in the proximity.
With the Second Municipal Edict of 1818, the rural municipality of Peesten was formed. Administratively and judicially, it was assigned to the lordly court of Thurnau, and in fiscal matters to the tax office of Kulmbach. In matters of voluntary jurisdiction, almost all properties remained under the patrimonial court of Thurnau until 1848. From 1862, Peesten belonged to the Kulmbach district office. In 1976, the municipality of Peesten was finally incorporated into the town of Kasendorf.

The Cube Houses by Piet Blom are one of the most famous Rotterdam landmarks.
This is a new version of one of my favourite 'flipped' shots created for this years CIOB 'Art of Building' photo competition. The original version was slightly darker and over saturated so I took the opportunity to tweak it a bit.

Another shot from the roof of the Opera House, a photographer’s dream come true!
I did a photo story of my visit to Oslo, I really loved the city:
Macro Mondays: Green and yellow squares
Two-centimetre foam crafting cubes. Frame is about 5.25 cm across.
The Cube Houses in Rotterdam are much photographed and as a result I wanted to try and get some different shots as well as the more obvious ones.

Worth going to Rotterdam to see these incredibly cool, impossible-looking houses. Looking up creates some great patterns.
Seems to me that Polaroid Round Frame is all about shape. The shape of the frame is what defines it. So when trying to figure out how to use it, the place I landed was pictures of… shapes.

The cubes with values come from a game called script-o-gram created by a company named Jumbo, copyright date 1979 in Amsterdam. The directions on the bottom of the box are in 6 languages, there is an egg timer, but there appear to be missing cards or maybe that space was for the instructions.
LEONARDO GLASS CUBE Germany 2015
whole project in high res: www.philipgunkel.de/showroom/architektur/leonardo-glass-cube
I am so happy to finally share my latest huge architectural portfolio project with you I did back in april in cooperation with Leonardo in Bad Driburg,
Germany to extend my architectural portfolio one more time. I really loved the overall architectural design from the very first time I saw it. The all natural looking
flowing forms and curves and the white, abstract designed structures together with awesome interior light installations create a very calm and positive atmosphere.
One other highlight is the 6m tall free standing glassfacade, which was produced by Leonardo and foliated with analog medium format landscape prints that you can see from the inside.
On location I shot this building for four days plus another day for the inside. Postprocessing all 23 photos including a lot of manual blendings, color corrections
and some heavy manual pano stitchings took about two and a half month to finish, maybe about two hours a day ~ 150 hrs total. As always I am highly interested what do you think about it and feel free to share and spread the word !
The ‘glass cube’ communicates the world and personality of the brand LEONARDO and turns vision into reality. The numerously awarded design unites the brand values ‘inspiration’, ‘emotion’ and ‘quality’ in an architectonic way.
An interdisciplinary design team,the team of architects from ‘3deluxe’ designed the futuristic building for LEONARDO which consists (at first sight) of two opposing elements: a strict geometric cube and a free form made of curved, white walls, set in this cover. With the combination of architecture, interior and graphical design as well as landscaping to an integrated design concept, ‘3deluxe’ built a complex unit with futuristic charm. The design team ‘3deluxe’ formed up in Wiesbaden (Germany) in 1992, comprising of communication designers Andreas and Stephan Lauhoff, interior designer Nikolaus Schweiger and designer Dieter Brell.
Construction Facts:
tart of construction: 04 | 2004 Construction period: until 24th May 2007 Inside area: 2.800 sq. m Outside area: 5.600 sq. m Height of building: 11m – above ground: 7m Height of glass plates: 6m, width: 2m Height ratio inside: 6m above ground Connection between both floor levels by stairs and elevator Glass façade free from post 36m per side 3 ‘genetics’ inside: 6m high sculptural 3D connection elements of the building zones 187 white elements, 700 sq. m as 2D road network in the outside area
