Put the concrete forms down today. I have to put down all the drains for the kitchen sink and the bathroom before we pour the concrete.
Built in 1916, this Gothic Revival-style church was designed by Hewitt and Brown for the congregation of the Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, which formed in 1875. Modeled on English Gothic architecture, the church takes heavy inspiration from the design of Ely Cathedral, with an octagonal, layered form and a spire that was, at the time of its completion, the second-tallest building in Minneapolis, only exceeded by Minneapolis City Hall. The building features a limestone exterior with a roughly plus-shaped form, centering around a central octagonal section that rises above the rest of the church before having a setback below the bell tower, and a second setback at the base of the metal-clad spire. The church features lancet windows, buttresses, crenellated towers flanking the main entrance, decorative stone railings, blind gothic arches, multiple pinnacles, a decorative surround framing the front entrance, historic lampposts at the front steps, and very small windows near the base of the building. To the rear of the sanctuary structure is a wing containing classrooms, offices, and a fellowship hall, completed around the same time as the church and featuring many Gothic Revival elements in its design, though less ostentatious than the main church building, and with oriels and flat-topped window openings. The church was protected during the construction of the Lowry Hill Tunnel, carrying Interstate 94, immediately adjacent to it in the 1960s by installing refrigeration equipment that froze the ground, ensuring the building would not be undermined in the event of an accidental tunnel collapse. In 2006, a new handicapped-accessible entrance, designed by Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, was added to the rear of the educational wing to provide access directly from the church’s parking lot.

You can see how loads flow to the elements that carry them. The mathematics of human-designed structures seem to favor straight, greek geometrical elements, where nature uses fractal repetition, infinite series, fibonacci spirals.

Anish Kapoor in Pitzhanger Manor, optical tricks with mirrors and metal
Anish Kapoor
(March to August 2019)
Within the newly restored gallery, with its three circular skylights, Kapoor’s sculptures challenge our traditional notion of form and space by disorientating the viewer and transforming their surroundings.
These sculptures echo Soane’s complex use of mirrors and light and will enable visitors to Pitzhanger to see Soane’s architecture from a fresh perspective.
[Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery]
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.

The cliff was formed during the ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago, when the edges of the glacier reached the cliff. The water from the glacier froze in the crevices of the mountain and eventually broke off large, angular blocks, which were later carried away with the glacier. This is the cause of the angular shape of the plateau. Along the plateau itself there continues to be a deep crack. Due to these cracks, the plateau will at some point fall down
