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.
It is possible to arrange cubes along the three-fold axis like the tetrahedra in line. Here again the first and the last cube have to be interlocked. In contrast to the tetrahedra in line, it is not possible to extend them to a longer chain in this way.
The general formula for the paper size depends on the preferred folding method.
I like an extra amount of paper at each end, which is 3/4 of the width of the frame:
paper length : paper width = (0.375 +0.25*(n+1)) : 1
With the method by Tomoko Fuse, the extra amount of paper at each end is equal to the width of the frame, then:
paper length : paper width = (0.5+0.25*(n+1)) : 1
n: number of cubes

Isamu Noguchi's scuplture "Cube" in fron of Marine Midland Building - 140 Broadway
Category: Office
Location: 140 Broadway, Downtown Manhattan, NYC
Built: 1967
Height: 688 ft (209.7 m)
Architect: Gordon Bunshaft (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill)
On June 25, 2013, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Marine Midland Building as a New York City Landmark, under the name "140 Broadway".
I made this years ago out of 256 rubiks cubes. I would collect the cubes one at a time at garage sales and thrift store. I have a new batch of cubes piling up - but I don't seem to find them as much as I used to. Not sure what face I'll do with them!?! Probably Audrey Hepburn.
The Kinetic Cube is an alternate build using only the parts in the Kinetic Sphere.
The Sphere is now a project on Lego Ideas!

"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. 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 houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."

First assignment for my students
(in Lectures on Photography):
1. build a cube :-)
2. shoot it
2.a. showing three sides with uniform brightness
2.b. showing three sides with different brightness
They can use whatever they have at hand. Their smartphones for shooting and for illumination, the room light, the window light, things for diffusion, things as flags ....
So they learn, how to make objects look threedimensional, how to flag light, how to add light and how subtract light.

Cube houses (Dutch: kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Helmond and Rotterdam 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 corner upwards, 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.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. The 1977 original plan showed 55 houses, but not all of them were built.[ There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The living room of the "show cube" in Rotterdam
The houses contain three floors:
ground floor entrance
first floor with living room and open kitchen
second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft), but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay.
In 2019, the Art cube opened at Overblaak 30. The Art cube is a place where art and architecture come together. With the original living layout intact, this cube house forms the backdrop for the work of various local artists.

Kubuswoningen, or cube houses, are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in The Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, and beside the Blaak Subway Station. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.

Wie man eine Radmarke Würfel nennen kann verstehe ich ja nicht so richtig.
Why name a bike brand cube which is also "dice"...
Not some fancy modernist edifice but just our local Homebase (DIY) store... snapped with my trusty phone, on my way to the car. Had to drop one of the paint buckets to get my phone and snapped while still carrying the other one :)

The Cube has 6 different colourful mosaics on its sides and combines a lot of the things that I love: Lego (obviously), geometric shapes, colours, mosaics and patterns and finally some logic and maths.

It was a very fun and satisfying build and it makes me so happy just looking at it.

Didn't know what to do today, so I spent a few hours shooting pictures at my place. Wandering from ideas to ideas. I started taking pictures by playing with sun light passing through the curtains, but then switched to a bit of light painting, some abstract shots and finally ended up dropping ice cubes into a glass jar filled with water... Pretty much sums up the afternoon.
A bit more explanation about this photo though: I made a kind of light diffuser out of translucent white paper and a cardboard frame. Placed a (remotly triggered) flash behind. A water-filled jar in front. Camera was on a tripod, with 200mm zoom and triggered remotly so that I could shoot pictures and drop ice cubes at the same time (this proved to be pretty tricky, especially because I needed to shoot several shots in a row to be sure to get the right moment when the ice cubes where splashing in the water and my flash wasn't recycling fast enough, so I had to wait a be lucky).
Strobist info: Off camera flash, canon 430EX, 1/4th power, set behind the jar through a diffusion screen. Camera set to f18 1/200s.
Paper: 7.5 x 3.75 cm DC

Very stable assembly. Final model got a bit tiny with an edge length of less than 2 cm, but I like it small anyway.

Cps: Jasmine Tea Cube, Opus ∞±1 (from a square) and Jasmine Tea Cube from a Circle
Units: Top Row = 1 square; Bottom Row = 1 circle
Paper: Coffee filter paper
I learned these pretty & useful cubes from oschene and Mélisande* at the OUSA Convention. The cube from a square has no creases on any side and both cubes have two layers of closure folds. These are fun to make and to get a cube from a circle is very interesting! Oschene gave out the square filter paper which was sturdy and folded nicely. For the "circle" cube, I used round filter paper that was very flimsy & soft so it was hard to fold, however, the cube stayed together when I steeped my tea! In the class, the "circle" cube we made out of kami was just as sturdy and with as sharp folds as the cube made out of a square.

I found that cube again, a few days later, in pieces.
Correction! It was an old cube that was thrown away -- not only did this one survive, but it was solved! And by these very hands. Here's proof.
