The `Kubuswoningen` (Cube houses) aka the `Blaakse Bos` (Blaak forrest) have the phycical appearance of a set of cubes, flipped to one of their vertexes and placed on variable height pillars. It was designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999) who followed his structuralist agenda here, trying to create an integrated urban living space (`Living in an urban roof`' it was called) that both stimulates/facilitates the communal spirit of the dwellers of this urban forest and create a strong rhythmic architectural pattern in the process. In `A structuralist's embrace` here there’s more about Dutch structuralism.
The 7Artisans fisheye was utilized again here. The lens‘ album is here.
For an architecture shot like this, minimalist music is called for, but in this case let’s settle for the basic drumwork of the Cure’s Lol Tolhurst in A forest.

Rubiks Cubes. Little miniature ones, each 1" across.
For Macro Mondays. This week's theme: puzzle. A bit of nostalgia here, who doesn't remember the cube craze.
Happy Macro Monday/ HMM
Stuttgart Library (Stadtbibliothek) interior. Decided to do this one square as it's know in the area as "The Cube". The library is actually a lot bigger than this photo would suggest as represented here is only the 4th through the 8th floors of the building.
Cube houses (Dutch: kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam. Their architect Piet Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. The houses are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
Finally, some more colour in Toronto's new architecture. These playful balconies belong to the College condominium residences, designed by CORE Architects.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "On Top".
A little late this week and I was struggling for an idea and almost on the verge of giving this theme a miss but turns out the itch was too great.
I have some of these Freezer Cubes which are filled with water and go into a lunch box when frozen to keep food cool. However that's not what I use them for. Well in actual fact, this is only the second time I have used them. The first was to drop some into a glass of water for splash photography. This time I thought they may look good when light painted, especially if backlit.
So it was with this that I gave it a go. Getting the right amount of light on them was fun to experiment and this I think was exposure 5 out of 8.
I focussed on the Orange one on top and played with the torch until I got a pleasing result
