A short drive from my office in Irvine, CA I found this interesting bit of architectural detail.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. You can also find me at:
Oberes Torhaus (in English: "Upper Gatehouse") in the village of Ickelheim, a district of the town of Bad Windsheim, Franconia (Bavaria)
Some background information:
Yes, one of the two gatehouses of Ickelheim, the lower one, to be precise, is available for purchase. However, both are almost identically constructed. Of course, you cannot buy the large building at its site, but only a small model of it for your model railway. The company Busch, a German producer of model railway equipment, has recreated the gate and offers it as a building kit for sale. So if you are the proud owner of a model railway, how about a nice little timber-framed gatehouse for your model railway layout?
With its more than 600 residents the village of Ickelheim is situated just about four km (2.5 miles) south of the district town of Bad Windsheim, in which it is incorporated. It is also located about 50 km (31 miles) west of the city of Nuremberg. Most likely, the settlement was already founded during the so-called Franconian colonisation in the 6th century. However, documented is its existence since the year 741.
In 889, Ickelheim was mentioned in a document as a Franconian royal seat. In the following centuries, the settlement evolved into a so-called Rundling (a circular village) with two gatehouses, which was surrounded by a rampart and a moat. However, the two gatehouses, which exist now, are not the original ones from medieval times. Instead, both were built in 1713 just to flag both accesses to the village. Anyway, the timber-framed gatehouses of Ickelheim are very unusual buildings and I don’t remember ever having seen any gatehouses resembling them – neither in Germany nor anywhere else.
In 1249, Pope Innocent IV put Heilsbronn Abbey and the fortified settlement of Ickelheim under his protection. However, another charter proves that in 1259, Ickelheim was already in possession of the burgraves of Nuremberg. In 1294, burgrave Conrad IV bestowed the municipal area to the German Order. Subsequently, Ickelheim became a minor administrative seat of the German Order, while the major seat of the whole area was in nearby Virnsberg Castle.
In the first half of the 16th century, the reformation in Franconia was in full swing. Many neighbouring communities had already converted to Protestantism, while Ickelheim was still under control of the Catholic German Order. In 1539, the villagers even demanded a Protestant minister, but the reformation wasn’t implemented in Ickelheim before 1565.
The Thirty Years’ War didn’t spare the community. In 1621, Ickelheim was afflicted with lootings and infringements by the Catholic Imperial forces under command of the military leader Peter Ernst, Count of Mansfeld. And in 1631, Imperial forces once again looted Ickelheim and its neighbouring communities Marktbergel and Ipsheim.
In 1806, the village was incorporated into the new Kingdom of Bavaria. In 1811, the rural community of Ickelheim was created. In 1856, a significant part of the commune was destroyed by fire. The fire was caused by arson and fanned by adverse winds. At the end of World War II, American troops tried to occupy the village. But as the resistance was rather fierce, they draw back and shelled Ickelheim with incendiary grenades. As a result, several houses were destroyed and the municipality was finally seized on 15th April 1945.
Today, Ickelheim is a beautiful little village with not less than three inns. In 1987, the commune won a gold medal in the Germany-wide competition "Unser Dorf soll schoener werden" (in English: "Our village should become more beautiful"). Ickelheim, which used to be an agricultural settlement in the past, is now mainly a village of commuters who work in the towns of Bad Windsheim or Ansbach or even in the city of Nuremberg. Only a few farms have survived. However, it’s noteworthy that at the southern slopes of Ickelheim vines are cultivated, which is quite unique in this area.

On my first visit to Carlisle station for many years my initial thought was "why is it so dark?" The explanation soon became apparent: self-evidently the overall roof is being refurbished, and I'm sure it will look fantastic when it's finished, but I wouldn't want to have to pay that scaffolding bill.

Album Description – Idstein, Germany – 2016APR07
I visited somewhere so small I didn’t see any stoplights, so big it has 11 suburbs – eleven formerly independent villages absorbed in 1971 into Idstein, a splendid Town of Tradition with history dating to 1102 – a royal seat in the past and a modern city in the present!
My friends Dori & Siggi picked me up 2:00 at the crew hotel; Dori drove us north across the Rhine River, then 12 miles on further north, past Wiesbaden up into a magnificent town in the Taunus Mountains I have long wanted to tour. Highlights:
✓Castle Lane („Schloßgasse“):
• Tower of Idstein 'Bergfried', 'Wachturm', a 12th-century free-standing fighting-tower in Castle Garden 'Schloßgarten', a part of Idstein Castle a.k.a. the Witches‘ Tower 'Hexenturm'
• Idstein Castle, former fortress 'Burg Idstein', Castle Lane 'Schloßgasse', later palace 'Schloß Idstein' 1614, now school
• Fortress Gate, the massive 'Burgtor' 1497
• Heavenly Lane 'Himmelsgasse':
• Timber-frame 'Fotostudio Idstein Claudia Rothenberger' 18th century corner building, corner of Felix-Lahnstein-Street
• Timber-frame 'Gasthof zur Peif' 1615, at King Adolf Square
✓Upper Lane 'Obergasse':
• Hotel/Restaurant German House 'Deutsches-Haus' 1751
• Hotel/Restaurant house Henrich Heer built 1620 'Höerhof'
✓Martin Luther Street 'Martin-Luther-Straße':
• Parish Church 'Pfarrkirche' 1330
• Picturesque view at the church down a cobblestone lane to the Town Hall and the Tower of Idstein
✓King Adolf Square 'König-Adolf-Platz':
• Town Hall 'Rathaus' 1698
• Historic timber-framed houses 'Fachwerkhäuser, and most especially the gorgeous house ‘Killingerhaus’ 1615
✓Lopsided house 'Das sogenannte Schiefe Haus' 1727
✓Brewpub, the Idsteiner 'Alte Feuerwache' 1928, a converted old fire station, where we ate an early supper
Due to its well-preserved Old Town 'Altstadt', Idstein is on the German Timber-Frame Road 'Deutsche Fachwerkstraße', a tourist route through towns with fine timbered construction. It was so much fun visiting here with my friends Dori & Siggi; I am scheduled for FRA next week, when we plan to return!

She arrived like someone from another time —adorned in celestial jewelry, butterfly rings fluttering at her fingers, and an easy, mischievous smile that hinted at mysteries she’d long since made peace with. On April 1st, 2025, at The Interval of the Long Now in San Francisco—a place built for slow thinking and long perspectives—Sara Imari Walker sat across from me and began to unravel the universe.
Sara is one of those rare thinkers who makes the cosmos feel not vast and indifferent, but intimate—alive, even. A physicist by training, she spends her days probing one of the most elusive riddles in science: what exactly is life, and how does it begin? But that’s just the start. Her work reaches far beyond biology or chemistry. Through her development of assembly theory—a framework that attempts to quantify how complex structures come into being—she is carving out nothing less than a new science of emergence.
You get the sense, speaking with her, that the big questions aren’t intimidating to her. They’re magnetic. She describes the universe not as a machine grinding out configurations of matter, but as something more like a poem—or a growing organism. She believes that life is not a cosmic accident but a phenomenon that the universe is, in some sense, biased toward. And while that might sound like philosophy, in Sara’s hands it becomes a set of testable hypotheses, a roadmap for exploring alien biospheres, both real and imagined.
Her background is as eclectic as her intellect. Born with one foot in physics and the other in philosophy, she has made it her mission to collapse the artificial walls between disciplines. She studied theoretical physics in graduate school, but her thinking has always veered into the biological, the informational, the metaphysical. She joined the astrobiology program at Arizona State University, where she now serves as a professor, and she is one of the central figures in NASA’s efforts to define and detect life beyond Earth.
But titles and institutions can only gesture at what makes her work so resonant. Sara is, above all, a synthesizer. She pulls from thermodynamics, evolutionary theory, information science, and even metaphysics to offer a new view of life—not just as a biological category, but as a fundamental feature of reality. Her work has led her to propose that life’s most essential feature is not replication, but memory—systems that retain the past in order to shape the future. It’s a view of the universe that is not frozen and fixed, but open-ended, historical, and creative.
During our session, she picked up a small globe—a prop for the photo, perhaps, but in her hand it became something more: a symbol of the fragility and improbability of everything we know. She looked at it thoughtfully, then glanced back with that same bright smile. “It’s all just matter,” she said, “but not just. It’s matter with history.”
It’s that poetic clarity that defines her. In a field often defined by technical jargon or reductionist thinking, Sara insists on seeing the whole system—and on asking the hardest questions with both rigor and imagination. She’s as comfortable discussing quantum mechanics as she is quoting Octavia Butler, and somehow, in her presence, the boundaries between those worlds dissolve.
The photograph we made together captures something essential about her. Dressed not in the muted tones of the academic, but in bold textures—dark velvet, spiked bracelets, a necklace that looked like a model of spacetime itself—she evokes both the depth of space and the strange beauty of the things that emerge from it. It’s not just an aesthetic choice. It’s a declaration: that science can be sensuous, that big ideas deserve beauty.
Sara Imari Walker is building nothing less than a new cosmology—one in which life is not a footnote to physics, but the main event. She invites us to see ourselves not as anomalies, but as participants in a much larger unfolding. In her universe, we are not isolated observers, but expressions of the same generative force that built stars, molecules, and meaning. And in that universe, there is room for both wonder and understanding.

This HYBYCOZO sculpture is titled Axis Mundi. It is in the Lewis Desert Portal and anchors the keystone of the Desert Discovery Trail.
Axis Mundi 2024.
Stainless Steel, Powder Coat Pigment, LED
Axis Mundi draws inspiration from the crystalline structure of fluorite, which contains shapes similar to honeycomb. This artwork is made up of hexagons and squares that efficiently fill space without gaps. These patterns are remarkably elegant and balanced in their division of three-dimensional space.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

La légende raconte que l'ilot Saint-Géry est le berceau de Bruxelles. L’église Saint-Géry qui s’élevait au centre des îles formées par les bras de la Senne accueillit les reliques de sainte Gudule avant qu’elles soient transférées, au milieu du XIe siècle, dans la future cathédrale qui porte aujourd’hui son nom. On peut d’ailleurs y découvrir et admirer le dernier vestige à ciel ouvert de la Senne dans le pentagone !
L’édifice gothique de la fin du Moyen Age fut démolie entre 1798 et 1801, sous le Régime français. À son emplacement, la Ville fit aménager une place publique au centre de laquelle fut érigée en 1802 une fontaine pyramidale datant de 1767 et provenant de la cour principale de l’abbaye de Grimbergen. Cette place accueillit plusieurs marchés. 1881 vit le début de la construction des Halles, œuvre de l’architecte A. Vanderheggen. Elles furent inaugurées en 1882 et abritaient alors quatre rangées de doubles étals et un comptoir de vente.
Le marché Saint-Géry continua ses activités de nombreuses années, mais délaissé de plus en plus par les commerçants après la seconde guerre mondiale, il fut finalement fermé le 28 février 1977. Remarquable témoin de l’architecture des marchés couverts alliant un extérieur de style néo-renaissant flamand et un intérieur faisant appel aux techniques de l’ossature métallique, il compte aujourd’hui au nombre des édifices classés de la région bruxelloise depuis le 21 janvier 1987. Depuis avril 1999, les Halles Saint-Géry accueillent un centre d’information et d’exposition consacré au patrimoine et au cadre de vie des Bruxellois, placé sous l’égide de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale.
Legend has it that Saint-Géry island is the cradle of Brussels. Saint-Géry church, which stood in the centre of the islands formed by the branches of the Senne river, held the relics of Saint Gudula before they were transferred, in the middle of the 11th century, to the future cathedral that bears her name today. You can also discover and admire the last open-air remnant of the Senne in the pentagon!
The Gothic building dating back to the late Middle Ages was demolished between 1798 and 1801 under the French regime. In 1802, a pyramid-shaped fountain dating from 1767, which came from the main courtyard of Grimbergen Abbey, was erected in the centre of a public square built by the City. Several markets were held at the square. Construction of the Halles, designed by architect A. Vanderheggen, started in 1881. The building was inaugurated in 1882 and housed four rows of double stalls and a sales counter.
The Saint-Géry market continued its activities for many years, but after the Second World War it was increasingly abandoned by traders and eventually closed on 28 February 1977. It is a stunning example of the architecture of covered markets, combining a Flemish neo-Renaissance style exterior with an interior using metal framework techniques. On 21 January 1987, the Brussels Region listed it as a protected building. Since April 1999, the Halles Saint-Géry have housed an information and exhibition centre dedicated to the heritage and living environment of the people of Brussels, under the auspices of the Brussels-Capital Region.
Según la leyenda, la isla de Saint-Géry es la cuna de Bruselas. La iglesia de Saint-Géry, situada en el centro de las islas formadas por los brazos del río Senne, albergaba las reliquias de Santa Gúdula antes de que fueran trasladadas, a mediados del siglo XI, a la futura catedral que hoy lleva su nombre. También podrá descubrir y admirar el último vestigio al aire libre de la Senne en el pentágono.
El edificio gótico de finales de la Edad Media fue demolido entre 1798 y 1801 bajo el régimen francés. En 1802, se erigió una fuente piramidal de 1767, procedente del patio principal de la abadía de Grimbergen, en el centro de una plaza pública construida por la ciudad. En la plaza se celebraban varios mercados. La construcción de las Halles, diseñadas por el arquitecto A. Vanderheggen, comenzó en 1881. El edificio se inauguró en 1882 y albergaba cuatro filas de puestos dobles y un mostrador de ventas.
El mercado de Saint-Géry siguió funcionando durante muchos años, pero tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue abandonado por los comerciantes y cerró sus puertas el 28 de febrero de 1977. Es un ejemplo impresionante de la arquitectura de los mercados cubiertos, que combina un exterior de estilo neorrenacentista flamenco con un interior con técnicas de estructura metálica. El 21 de enero de 1987, la Región de Bruselas lo declaró edificio protegido. Desde abril de 1999, las Halles Saint-Géry albergan un centro de información y exposición dedicado al patrimonio y al entorno vital de los bruselenses, bajo los auspicios de la Región de Bruselas-Capital.
