A striking image of the Cube Houses in Rotterdam, designed by Piet Blom. These unique structures are known for their innovative and tilted design.
Description in Italian:
Un'immagine sorprendente delle case cubiche a Rotterdam, progettate da Piet Blom. Queste strutture uniche sono note per il loro design innovativo e inclinato.
went back to that cube template and decided to doodle more than digital rendering.
and this time I added more texture and EVEN toned down my palette.
The cube from behind, taken around 8:30pm on 5/19/06. (Excuse the obvious line of two pictures merged together.)
The grandkids always love to have some flavoured ice cubes to cool down their soft drinks!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
The original is 40 inches by 40 inches.
For each cube I used a fill pattern that was almost like asphalt and then colored them.
But for the tops I tried a filter/texture/grain and color and it was washed out looking so I left them white for now.

Since returning from last weeks visit to Belgium and the Netherlands I've been laid low with covid.
Finally feeling I can start on editing my pictures tonight.
Another place in Rotterdam that's been on my list for a few years.
designed by Piet Bloom and built in 1977.
On is now a museum which I didn't have time to visit.
Fifth Avenue | Apple Store 01/05/2015 14h42
In 2006 Apple opened this flagship store on Fifth Avenue in the basement of the General Motors building (a 50-story, 215 m office tower located at 767 Fifth Avenue opened in 1968).
Apple Store New York Fifth Avenue
On May 19, 2006, a Glass Cube entrance Apple Store was open in New York’s Fifth Avenue. The Apple Store Fifth Avenue is Apple’s most architecturally innovative store, featuring a distinctive 32-foot glass cube that creates a stunning new destination on Fifth Avenue, one of the world’s most popular shopping areas. The Apple Store Fifth Avenue open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to offer an unprecedented level of service.
The Apple Store is a chain of retail stores owned and operated by Apple Inc., dealing with computers and consumer electronics. The stores sell Macintosh personal computers, software, iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and select third-party accessories. All stores offer a Genius Bar for technical support and repairs, as well as free workshops available to the public, while some high-profile stores feature a theater for presentations and workshops and a studio for training with Apple products. Under the leadership of Ron Johnson, the former senior Vice President of Retail Operations, the Apple Stores have, according to an article in The New York Times, been responsible for "the boring computer sales floor into a sleek playroom filled with gadgets".

Third aircraft in Cube 21 flight diverting into RAF Lakenheath. A flight of six was returning from Poland to Alaska after a deployment when their tankers failed to launch. The name on the nose wheel door is a Royal Australian Air Force exchange pilot.
Unique sculpture of metal cubes at Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal, Tokyo. It stands in a very shallow pool, which is probably designed to reflect the sculpture and the Rainbow Bridge in the back.
Luckily there was no wind at that moment so I was able to capture the clear reflection.
Last year I built myself a cube designed by Zachary Steinman (@steinmanzachary on insta) and then modified it. I needed a display to show it off and created a Mayan pyramid ruin in a jungle. This year I decided to do another and made a Greco-Roman temple ruin in a reef, giving Atlantis vibes. The pillars were borrowed directly from Jessica Farrell’s ruin build. I think my favorite technique was using the pink bonsai tree frogs as sea anemone tentacles. In fact, there are 10 different colored frogs used in the reef.
Like Mélisande*'s (in the background), this one has two chambers that open and close separately. Note the fake lids, à la Dibs Cube.
This is made from a square, divided into fifths.
Top two cubes are mine, middle one is John's, not sure on the bottom one.

Rubik cube cake for a 80's themed party.
I made a chocolate slab cake and cut it into three two inch high 6" squares.
The √ Cube is essentially the Fujimoto Cube, minus two-thirds of the volume. So, it makes a fine globe. The north and south poles are occupying the same spot, but when you're standing at either, ain't a pennyworth of difference between them, really. Lot to be said for living in a toroidal world.
In "literature" several models of a seamless cube are known ( Kasahara and Takahama, Haga, Montroll, Ewing, Shafer);
they are very similar, with slight variations.
All these models starts from a 4 x 4 square grid, and use the same locking mechanism (a 3-flaps close system).
Personally I don't like this 3-way locking system, it looks to me a little bit weak, and edges tends to relax.
So I've designed this model, that starts from a 4.5 x 3.5 rectangular grid, and use only one closing point, with a rectangular flap.
I guess to diagram it in the next weeks.

1/52 Abstract
This is an large cube sculpture with it's Christmas decoration. Wasn't all that happy with any of my well focused shots, so blurry it will be.
This is my first official foray into the world of "cube dudes." For my first subject, I decided to create Zojja, the Asuran member of Destiny's Edge, from the MMO Guild Wars 2.
I've always wanted to see more MOCs from the world of Tyria. I feel like it is under represented in the "Lego-verse," which is a shame since much of the art and architecture would lend themselves nicely to some really awesome MOCs. I've also always wanted to see a member of the diminutive race of genius imps known as the Asura represented in bricks. Someday, I hope to be able to re-create them at minifigure scale, but for now the cube dude scale will have to do.
As always, comments and criticisms are welcomed. I'd also love to hear from any other fellow AFOLs who play GW2.

The Cube Houses, or "Kubuswoningen" in Dutch, are one of Rotterdam's most iconic and unique architectural marvels. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom in the late 1970s, these innovative houses were conceived as part of an urban development project aimed at creating a "village within a city." Each house is literally a cube tilted at a 45-degree angle, resting on a hexagonal pylon, which gives the illusion that they are balancing on one corner. This striking and unconventional design immediately captures attention and has become a symbol of Rotterdam's progressive and bold approach to urban planning.
Blom's vision was to represent a forest, with each individual cube symbolizing an abstract tree, and the entire complex forming a cohesive "urban forest." The structures are built on a pedestrian bridge above a busy street near the Blaak metro station and the historic Oude Haven, cleverly optimizing public space. The complex consists of 38 small cubes and two larger "super-cubes," all interconnected to form a visually stunning and playful residential area. Their bright yellow color further enhances their distinctive presence against the city's skyline.
Stepping inside a Cube House offers a truly unique living experience. Due to the 45-degree tilt, all the walls and windows are slanted, creating unconventional and dynamic interior spaces. While this might seem challenging, the design cleverly maximizes the usable area within the geometric constraints. Typically, a Cube House has three floors: the ground floor serves as the entrance and storage area within the hexagonal pylon, the first floor houses the living room and an open kitchen, and the second floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. The top floor, often a small loft, can be used as a study, guest room, or even a rooftop garden, offering panoramic views of the surroundings.
While most Cube Houses are private residences, one "Show Cube" (Kijk-Kubus) has been opened to the public as a museum, allowing visitors to experience firsthand what it's like to live in such a distinctive home. This offers a fascinating insight into the creative solutions employed for furniture placement and maximizing space in an angled environment. Additionally, one of the larger cubes has been converted into a Stayokay Hostel, providing the unique opportunity for visitors to actually spend a night in these architectural wonders, further cementing their status as a must-see attraction in Rotterdam.
