The new Design Museum in Kensington opened in November 2016. The building was formerly the home of the Commonwealth Institute and it was opened in 1962. The architects were RMJM (Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall). This photo shows a section of the original roof structure.
Museum for international Expressionism in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful villas. The Chabot Museum has an important collection of works by Dutch expressionist Henk Chabot (1894-1949) and is housed in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful villas. The peaceful homely atmosphere of this listed monument built in 1938 does perfect justice to Chabot’s paintings and sculptures and to works by his contemporaries and present-day kindred spirits. Expressionism and the inter-war period are central to the museum’s temporary exhibitions. The gardens surrounding the building and the other villas scattered around Museum Park are part of an oasis of green in the very centre of Rotterdam. THE VILLA
The striking white villa was designed in 1938 by architect G.W. Baas, who worked many years for the renowned architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt (known for the monumental Van Nelle Factories, the Feijenoord Stadium and the Sonneveld House in Rotterdam). Baas left the completion to architect L. Stokla when he was appointed as the building coordinator of the Kröller- Müller Museum at the Hoge Veluwe.
The villa in modernist style was initially built as a private residence for the Kraaijeveld family. Distinguishing features of the house are light and airy spaces, a typical openness to the garden and a unique view of the Museumpark and its surroundings. A visit to the homely, light and elegant Chabot Museum combines modern art, architecture and history.

This photo was taken in Toronto back in October 2017. I've posted square photos of this building on here, but not this one, until now.

Another landscape version of the ‘Cheesegrater’, a car park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It was designed by architects Allies and Morrison.
In 2009 it won a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Regional Award. These awards are given to UK buildings for their regional architectural importance. In 2013 it gained third place in the 'World’s Coolest Car Park' awards.

Ok, this one is phony. Enjoyed the Women Painters of Washington exhibit this summer at Pioneer Tower in Seattle. Lots of very appealing work. Also an ingenious gallery system, with walls on rollers in curved tracks, so they can be moved around easily. Apparently there aren't enough women painters in Washington, because at the back of the room there was a completely empty wall, which I photographed and posted previously. If I were a woman, and an Abstract Expressionist painter, and resident of Washington, maybe I would have had a work like this accepted for the show. But I'm not, not, not, and didn't, so you can only see it here.

I took an image of graffiti painted inside a culvert and used the colors to re-create the meanings of the tags. I don't know if the original words or symbols spoke of violence or vulgarity, but by restructuring the elements used by the original artists, my intent here is turn their hurt into heart.
