Vancouver, BC Canada
The Canoe Bridge itself is 40-meter long and it spans across a section of the waterfront saving people from walking around.
The bridge also serves to shelter the Tidal Amphitheatre, a stepped foreshore formed by granite blocks that leads directly to the sea.
The Canoe Bridge was designed to mimic the ribs of a canoe or kayak. A tribute to the non-motorized boating experience that is an integral part of the people of the north.
Many have complimented its wavy or aerodynamic design. The undulating form is actually very inviting and quickly became a favorite spot for many joggers, pedestrians and cyclists.
The floor of the Canoe Bridge is made up of mesh-iron grid to maximize daylight for the marine habitat below.

Every town square needs a central monument. When your town square faces Vancouver's False Creek, it makes sense that the monument be a canoe. In this case, the canoe is actually a bridge in the shape of a canoe which spans Jarvis Inlet at the heart of the 2010 Winter Olympics athletes' village.
Like the rest of the village, the bridge was designed with the environment in mind. The bridge deck is made up of closely-spaced slats to let plenty of sunlight through and minimize the bridge's shadow on the water below, so that aquatic plants and creatures aren't affected by the darkness.
Though it is a simple bridge, it has many symbolic meanings. Its canoe theme ties it to the nearby non-motorized boating marina. Its open framework harkens to the days when this was an industrial shipyard, and also visually mimic the nearby Science World dome.

Sketchnote of a really nice study of using a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) to separate acetylene from ethylene. This is typically an energy-intensive process by conventional methods but MOFs offer a new means to do this separation better. This research was published in Science.

Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.

Architectural Collage Making
As the process and structural implications of construction have changed drastically throughout the course of human history, so too have the massing qualities and forms of buildings. Frameworks merges the ancient Pyramid of Djoser with the contemporary precedent, CCTV Headquarters. The collage positions the pyramid's heavily grounded, massive presence between the void and beneath the cantilever of the OMA-designed skyscraper. The dialogue between the moments of construction and reconstruction helps imagine the skyscraper as less of an ambiguously massed form, and more of an on-site framework to assist in restoration efforts of the pyramid.

Uses attribute table and the "Create Indexed Vector Grid" plugin what I wrote. Going to have to re-write this for QGIS3 and for Processing framework.. and allow fixed size cells (the grid cells were meant to be 10km x 10km but are more like 8.5km x 8.5km)
