Johns, Slater Haward, 1960 by Simon Knott

Sprites schools, Ipswich

Johns, Slater Haward for Ipswich Borough Council, 1960.

Sculpture reliefs by Bernard Reynolds.

In the 1960s, the Borough Council planned for an expansion of Ipswich to three times its size. This never happened, but there was a considerable and largely unnecessary rebuilding of the town centre to give it a metropolitan character, many of the buildings designed to line an aborted urban motorway.

Not many of these new buildings were good. Perhaps the most notorious was the Greyfriars complex by Vine & Vine (1964-66, largely demolished apart from the towers in the early 1990s).

However, local architectural practice Johns, Slater Haward were responsible for some excellent structures that survive today to adorn the Borough. At a time when brutalism and modernism were fashionable, the firm of Johns, Slater Haward designed buildings of real character, with a jauntiness that looked back to the Festival of Britain, and forward towards the post-modernism of Norman Foster and Richard Rogers.

Their major buildings in the Borough included Ipswich Civic College (now Suffolk College), Castle Hill United Reformed Church, Harvest House (HQ building fo Fisons, now a business centre), Suffolk House (now AXA Insurance), Colchester Road fire station, and the East Anglian Daily Times building.

They also designed a number of schools for Ipswich Borough Council, which had responsibility for education in the Borough before 1974. The best of these, and a building of national significance, was the group known as Sprites Schools, today converted into a single primary school.

Sprites Schools was designed as a sequence of linked glass pavilions set in a field. The roofs are hyperbolic, curving to low and high points at the corners. Low, structural brick walls do not intrude. Wooden framing for the windows divides the glass walls into pleasing rectangles. Paths and grassed areas were arranged in parallel to walls to create another layer of lines leading to secluded courtyards. The sculptor Bernard Reynolds, responsible for a number of public artworks in the Borough, created reliefs that give a lively feel to the structural walls. When lit up at light, the pavilions were intended to appear like a caravan in the desert.

Unusually for buildings of the time, the schools were intended to mature, with trees growing to surround the pavilions and create a woodland effect. Sir Niklaus Pevsner, in The Buildings of England, admired Sprites Schools greatly, and they are the only post-war school in the county to appear in his Suffolk volume. The overall design has withstood the test of time, although, as with many late 1950s and early 1960s buildings, the schools were created for a low-fuel-price economy, and the lower and upper parts of most of the glass walls have now been filled in to save costs on heating and ventilation.

Addition of a nursery in 1995 celebrated and enhanced the original architecture, but conversion to a single school by Suffolk County Council in 2004 created an uneasy linkage that spoils the openness the main inner courtyard. Even so, the sheer exuberance of the original buildings survives. They are best seen from Hawthorn Drive across the playing fields, especially when lit up on a late winter afternoon.

Old McLean County Courthouse (Washburn, North Dakota) by courthouselover

Built in 1907-08, this excellent structure replaced the county's 1905 courthouse that still stands in Washburn's downtown. This one was designed by the Hancock Brothers. It is similar to the Luna County Courthouse in Deming, New Mexico.

Unfortunately it was demolished in 2013, despite the fact that it was a National Register of Historic Places property.

Washburn is a great little North Dakota town located near the center of the state between Minot and Bismarck on a series of hills overlooking the Missouri River.

Grace Episcopal Church — Jonesville, Michigan by Christopher Riley

1

An excellent structure, combining elements of the Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styles. Wikipedia provides some history:

In 1836, the Episcopal missionary William N. Lyster began preching [sic] in Jonesville. Two years later, a parish was organized by Darius Barker. In 1844, the congregation began constructing this church; it was completed on November 15, 1848, at a cost of $3,000.

The church was moved in 1946 and attached to a schoolhouse that now serves as a parish hall. The church was [deconsecrated] and sold in 2007, and currently houses a coffee house.

Silicon Carbide by Adam

Cilicon Carbide

Is a man made mineral with excellent structure and stunning colour.

(SiC), also known as carborundum or moissanite (name given from the french researcher Dr. Henri MOISSAN who first identified it in 1905), is a solid compound made of 50% carbon and 50% silicon. Naturally occurring SiC is found only in minute quantities in exceptional geological places like diamond containing chimneys, kimberlitic volcanic openings and even in certain types of meteorite. Virtually all of the silicon carbide sold in the world is synthetic.

Day 104: Antiques by Tony Cangiano

Okanagan Falls has very few stores, several of which are liquor stores. And then there is this little gem. Over the years, I bought several vintage and antique items from them. If you are driving through Okanagan Falls they are definitely worth a visit.

Privy by Sir John Vanburgh by Sarah

1 3

The story is that when Vanbrugh was building Blenheim Palace in nearby Woodstock, he fell out with the Duchess of Marlborough who threw him out of his lodgings. So he boarded at Hampton Manor in Kidlington. When he left, he built this very fine privy over a stream in the garden, as a leaving present for his landlord. When the manor got indoor facilities this excellent structure fell into disuse and the stream has been diverted.

Cool Toys Pic of the Day - Elements of Bioinformatics by rosefirerising

Elements of Bioinformatics:

elements.eaglegenomics.com/

Yet another PTEP (Periodic Table of the Elements Parody). I often love

these, but this one is truly exceptional, because I love

bioinformatics tools, also. Now, yes, there are more bioinformatics

and genomics tools, but this is the cream of the crop, the best ones,

compiled into an interactive visual structure that facilitates easy

browsing by category and clear relationship for types of tools. The

largest grouping of tools are the open source tools, and the smallest

are commercial tools. Bravo, bravo! When you mouse over the "Key to

Tool Type", whichever category your mouse is on is highlighted across

all groupings. Click on an elemental symbol, and you get more

detailed information about the tool represented by that two-letter

code, including authors, operating system, year created, publication,

download (or more info) link, licensing. Excellent structure for the

metadata. Color me impressed, and delighted to find this awesome

useful tool.
