May this winding field of greens harmonize with the vibrancy of the ones you dreamt of last night. May your trails be devious, winding, lonesome, enthralling, leading to the most amazing views. May the mountains you tread upon, rise into and above the clouds. May these crooked paths of life, lead to the horizon you always envisioned as a kid.
If you want to catch a star then walk my way,
I will take you where the night is always day.
You can follow me if you really try,
Maybe we will find a rainbow, teach it to fly.
This shot was taken somewhere in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, India. And I guess I’ve been able to seize the essence of this small little town quite well here with this composition.

A unique project—Jacob Collier’s first-ever college residency—brought together the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble, MIT’s Ben Bloomberg and other members of the MIT music community.
Collier’s music combines elements of jazz, a cappella, world, contemporary classical, pop, gospel, R&B and soul. He is well known for his viral YouTube videos, which have turned numerous legendary artists into fans, including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, David Crosby, Jamie Cullum, Take 6 and Quincy Jones—now his manager/mentor.
In 2014, he began working with MIT’s Ben Bloomberg (a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab) who helped transform Collier’s video productions into live one-man-show performances. Bloomberg also designed and created a custom unique Vocal Harmonizer, which has provided Collier a vehicle to simultaneously combine his vocal and keyboard talents live.
Collier’s December residency at MIT—culminating with a major concert in Kresge Auditorium on December 10—involved several first-time elements. Collier and the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble (FJE) with additional musicians presented the premiere of an experimental piece crafted by Collier. Several new big band arrangements of Collier’s music were also featured, two of which crafted by MIT alumnus Jamshied Sharifi and one by Collier himself. The concert included Collier performing some jazz standards with the FJE as well as some solo performances.

Museum of Ethnography Budapest Hungary
Architects: NAPUR Architect
Area : 34000 m²
The new building of the Museum of Ethnography in Budapest City Park (Városliget) was opened 2022. The award-winning new museum building – which is part of Europe’s largest urban-cultural development called Liget Budapest Project has dynamic yet simple lines simultaneously harmonized with the park environment and communicating with the surrounding urban area.
The collection, which comprises 250.000 items from the Carpathian Basin and from every corner of the world, has been hosted by various facilities since its establishment in 1872, but never in its history did it operate in a building designed specifically to cater to its needs. The project was one of over 1700 entries from 115 countries. According to the decision of an international jury, the competition was won by the Hungarian architectural studio, Napur Architect (beating leading world-class architect studios such as Zaha Hadid, BIG), whose building is distinguished by a dynamic yet simple design harmonized with the natural environment of the park while communicating with the urban texture of its surroundings. The gently curving lines enable the building to function as a gateway and a passage linking the city and the park. Sixty percent of the structure is under ground level, and thanks to the landscaped roof and the transparency of the sections over the ground, the new museum is adapted to its environment in its scale too. The grass-covered roof area will be a pleasant community space awaiting visitors to Városliget.
The spectacular trademark of the building is the glass curtain wall surrounding the landscaped roof garden, reminiscent of two intertwined hillsides, with a unique characteristic, consisting of nearly half a million pixels, a raster made by metal grid based on ethnographic motifs selected from the museum's Hungarian and international collections.
The new functions and flexible spaces of the modern and state-of-the-art museum building will facilitate the understanding of the historical heritage embodied by the collection as well as the various aspects of contemporary society. Besides passing down this historical heritage, the realization of more recent professional and research themes and perspectives continues to be among the priority objectives of the museum, as confirmed by its mission. The creatively built spaces will open up new opportunities to communicate with visitors, enabling the presentation of the everyday objects, phenomena, and ideas of the past and the present side by side.

National Museum of World Writing
The proposed Museum of World Writing is located at Central park of Songdo International Business District known as 'ubiquitous city'. Since this city of 1500 acres is build from the scratch on reclaimed land from Sea, the proposed form respect and consider this aspect as well as the actual site within which the building will sit.
The site is of odd geometry where essentially three geometrical shapes fuse together to form a shape with eight edges.
The proposed building form reciprocate these aspects and harmonize not only to the site within the site (Central Park) but the whole built environment at vicinity, the new Songdo City, its port (second busiest in Korea) and to the countries' busiest airport as the site is situated parallel to the city's main access to the airport.
The museum is sitting on a podium shape which is influenced by site's geometry as well as waterfront and the various direct and secondary access routes to the central park.
Since public spaces are most essential element of any city, which not only influence the lives of individual but society as a whole. This museum is intended to be belonged to everyone and design incorporates these essential and practical aspects delivering a truly functional pragmatic museum.
Design Concept - in Continuation
A museum is the symbol of regeneration, preservation and continuation and this has been the essence of our proposed design process.
The design for the National Museum of World Writing is based on intuitive and sympathetic approach to the context, nature of site and Songdo city as a whole. The vast scale of site , the central park , the reclaimed land from sea, the location of Songdo within Incheon City, the high rise office towers in surrounding and the purpose of museum itself assists to provide the clues for design concept.
The design is intended to enhance , create, reinvent the missing or existing key pedestrian link, built mass and other open spaces of the central park and its immediate built urban environment. The idea is to have a museum building which is welcoming and friendly to public and appropriately embraces site surrounding and context without dominating it.
The museum building is sitting on an elevated plinth / podium. The plinth consists of basement which is housing the parking, services, the storage , special exhibition gallery, and a central atrium with cafe. Two connecting entries are introduced for visitors to improve the connectivity at this level and eventually to the building as whole.
Design Concept - Abstract
The discovery of first metal by man becomes his first step towards modernization and arguably the invention of script is 'first step to the path leading to civilization'. The invention of written script is what may have distinguished and established human's superiority over animals. Therefore it won't be an over statement to make that 'Written script invention is probably the greatest invention of human's during Bronze-age to Iron- age.''
The first discovery of metal was Copper followed by bronze and ultimately Iron. The continuity of this period is displayed by using and exhibiting the COR-TEN Steel as main cladding material. These facade's cladding will have ancient language symbols and scripted and cut-through them. The similar pattern of Language Scripts engraved in concrete and also displayed on the translucent glass - the emitting light in night will exhibit and remind the city of relevance of this invaluable treasure.
The building also consists of eight Large columns which are intentionally designed as little disproportionate to the form. The idea behind is to represent the 'known eight direction' across the globe - of which this museum belongs to. The columns are inclined to have an origin beneath the earth - somewhere below the museum itself - The torch light from them to the sky - will be represent the infinity - a tribute to all the lost and undocumented world scripts - which took centuries to evolve and then lost forever - without a trace..
Building layout and form
The proposed building layout is simple and symmetrical, the architecture in center is open and raw resulting in a public building which is clean, efficient and visually and functionally legible. The building is non imposing in terms of shape and size - giving freedom to the visitors as how to use it.
The museum building by its compact 'Zero' inverted shape and variation in height helps to retain the integrity of the central park and surrounding by respecting the open character of park and area around. Main public functions are easily accessed with a clear separation of private and service functional spaces. The building shapes doesn't have any sharp edges thus retaining the continuity on the external skin of building - avoiding essentially any rear or front and thus keeping the balance of visitors moment from all side .
The museum makes best use of its ellipse shape with continuous ring of translucent glass & clear glass - which in day time create an atmosphere of transparency and of welcoming feeling and at night the multi-layer facade of translucent and clear glass diffuse and reflects the internal light making the museum as a lamp / lantern of the central park.
The corridors and the projected balconies around the central atrium will encourages people to flow within this public building uninterruptedly. The delicately assembled fragmented volumes will create logical passages in between, which will allow the visitors to break from long corridors and also offers the flexibility about use of space. The proposed design promotes openness and boost public engagement. Visitors will be able to enjoy and appreciate the exhibits and the building itself while walking through these simple magnificent but generous corridors.
The lavish passage in-between the exhibition galleries will be a complementary open space. The comfortable atmosphere creating an contradictory feeling of being social and familiar.
Gracing the Park and waterfront
The distinctive yet elegantly 'sculptured -like' appearance sitting majestically on podium provides a charismatic addition to the park and city skyline. Clearly visible by its distinctive yet fitting shape and size in cluster of akin high rise buildings. The museum building taking advantage of spectacular setting of park and waterfront will leave a remarkable imprint on the visitors arriving either by land , sea (part) or air (airport).
The Museum Building - with circulation Strategy
Once in Museum the central staircase is the primary vertical circulation. It is split on either side of exhibition galleries and public spaces. A linear straight stair reaches directly to the second floor's Education area and Library.
The functional spaces are also connected through two ramps - parallel to each other. The internal ramp and the roof of internal ramp is denoted as external ramp - The internal ramps connects the Ground floor to First and Second floor and ascends within the void along with longitudinal southern side of the building offering a majestic view of the park. The external ramp (roof of the internal ramp will have uninterrupted access to top terrace to the public from outside the museum. On the North East side. The external stairs takes visitors to the lower terrace and there will be provision for the Museum staff to access the First floor office from these stairs.
Materials
COR-TEN Steel
The use of Cor-ten Steel as facade cladding pay homage to 'Copper to Iron Age" during which the various language scripture were evolved and developed from Copper-age to Bronze-age and then throughout Iron Age. The material as a facade skin will also be easy to maintain and with adequate paint coating protection will face the Sea's salt wind in desired and natural process - as the World's language scripts have been through.
Translucent Glass
The museum will makes best use of its ellipse shape with continuous ring of translucent glass & clear glass - which in day time create an atmosphere of transparency and of welcoming feeling and at night the multi-layer facade of translucent and clear glass diffuse and reflects the internal light making the museum as a lamp / lantern of this park.
Conclusion
The proposed 'National Museum of World Writing' will ultimately be a unique, conveniently accessible and a very public building. It will be effectively a new addition to destination's of Songdo city along with waterfront and Central park.
This monumental yet elegant and imposing building will not only be an addition to Incheon but a tribute to the "all known and undiscovered , documented and unrecorded, prevailing and forgotten' World Scripts.
This timeless and priceless treasured collection of humanity which continuously and constantly evolved from 'Stone-Age' through Iron-age to present 21st Century needs equally commensurate building - if not less.
The proposed building is designed to meet most of these aspects and design requirements - if not all.
Mixed media harmonize beautifully with this gorgeous sectional sofa. The strong foundation is upholstered in a faux pony leather which has a beautiful sheen that catches the light. This contrasts brilliantly with the incredibly soft, faux chinchilla seating and back cushions. Stainless steel feet complete this L-shaped sofa, making it absolutely 100% fabulous. As with many of our items, it can be customized to make it truly unique and yours alone!

A month ago I received my personal iPhone 7 - I got my business use iPhone 7+ today. Both iPhone 7 models deliver enhancements over Apple's iPhone 6/6s (which are the top selling smartphones in the world): a newly harmonized Home button and 3D Touch haptic user interface paired with an enhanced Taptic Engine actuator; Wide Color Retina HD Display; a significantly improved A10 Fusion Application Processor providing enhanced speed and efficiency, paired with 2GB (iPhone 7) or 3GB (iPhone 7+)of RAM and larger batteries (largest in the iPhone 7+) for an extra hour, two or three of use; new rear and FaceTime cameras and lenses with Optical Image Stabilization (in both cameras) for more detailed low light photos and smoother video; louder and crisper stereo speakers paired with Lightning and wireless audio connectivity that supports faster, feature-enhanced LTE Advanced mobile and MIMO WiFi; and new iP67 dust and liquid intrusion resistance.
A lot of work has gone into making 3D Touch smart, useful but unobtrusively inconspicuous. Apple has also enhanced the visible characteristics of its iPhone 7 Retina HD displays. Both iPhone 7 and 7+ feature radically enhanced displays with very high contrast ratios, very low reflectance and peak brightness levels above 700 nits. DisplayMate rated the new iPhone 7 Retina HD panels as "most color accurate display that we have ever measured." The displays on both models - as well as their cameras - also now support Wide Color as defined by the Digital Cinema Initiatives P3 color gamut specification. This extra color information isn't visible on most of today's PCs, notebooks, tablets or phones, but is of course displayed by iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (as well as my 27” iMac 5k and 9.7" iPad Pro).
Apple doesn't sell any laptops with support for P3 Wide Color - yet. What is interesting (especially for me as a professional photographer) is that until you experience Wide Color on a screen - you don't know what you’re not seeing. I am sure that in the future Wide Color will come to HDTVs and all Macs and iPads, so capturing images with your iPhone 7/7+ in 2016 with this expanded color palette capability means you'll see more vibrant memories of your kids, sunsets, travel photos and whatever else you like to take pictures of. By the way - Wide Color Gamut is part of what TV vendors are branding as "High Dynamic Range" - a well known “brand” for most serious photographers.
In this blog, I have posted some images of both my iPhone 7 and iPhone 7+, and my very first set of images captured with the iPhone 7+ that just arrived on my doorstep. Let me know what you think of the image quality produced with this device.

Until the mid-19th century the majority of the area of present-day Schwarzenberg square was occupied by the Glacis located in front of Vienna city walls that was here crossed by the River Wien (Vienna). After the demolition of the city walls during the years 1858 to 1863 relatively large areas now in the range of ramparts and glacis for building development have been available. Similar to Ring Road palaces of the second half of the 19th century, some magnificent buildings were constructed here.
1861 was by Emperor Franz Joseph I decided to erect here the 1813 in the Battle of Leipzig been victorious commander Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg a monument. The equestrian statue was created by the Dresden sculptor Ernst Hähnel (1811-1891) from 1863, the militarily laid out laying of the foundation stone for the monument took place on 18 October 1863 (the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Nations), the ceremonial unveiling of the (in those days aesthetically and historically not uncontroversial) monument on October 20, 1867 (after the anniversary of the battle of nations, October 18, due to political reasons had not been kept).
Since 1865, the 1895 demolished Schwarzenberg bridge led across the river to Rennweg (route to Hungary), towards later Prinz-Eugen street (access from downtown to South Station and Staatsbahnhof (state railway station), later Ostbahnhof - eastern railway station) and the situated in between Palais Schwarzenberg.
Historic Art Nouveau Place lighting type "crosier"
During the construction of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline was before the Palais Schwarzenberg (in an area that then did not yet belong to Schwarzenberg square) built the high jet fountain (Hochstrahlbrunnen) and on 23 October 1873 with a ceremony, attended by Emperor Franz Joseph I, opened. The since about 1870 from the Seilerstätte out of town until the small river Wienfluss running Schwarzenberg street was in 1880 in its southern area between the Ring Road and Lothringer street, accordingly to the importance of the ensemble with the equestrian monument, renamed in Schwarzenberg square.
The 1895-1902 vaulted Vienna River, at whose southern shore until 1899 the also vaulted Wientallinie of the Vienna Metropolitan railway was built, at this place run about in the area of the southern roadway of Lothringer street. In 1904, the square south was extented until the Schwarzenberg square. The indication that the Schwarzenberg street previously had been extended to the Palais Schwarzenberg does not harmonize with the historic city maps and address books.
Behind of (= south of) High Jet Fountain was in August 1945, immediately after the end of World War II, by the Red Army the War Memorial (popularly today: Russian monument) unveiled; until 1955 there was also a Soviet tank SU-100 placed. During the occupation time the southern part of the Schwarzenberg square on April 12, 1946, was renamed in Stalin Square and the square kept this name to 18 July 1956. In the House of Industry, then Stalin Square 4, was until 1955 the seat of the Allied Council of the four occupying powers.
In the years 2003 and 2004 the Schwarzenberg place after a concept by Spanish architect Alfredo Arribas has been redesigned and additionally equipped with sunken lighting elements that represent different lighting effects. In the course of restructuring the existing hitherto small green areas have been eliminated, which has also been criticized. Particularly strong reservations there was against the replacement of the largely still remaining slender lighting columns in 1904 by light bodies which were perceived by critics as clumsy and clunky. The previous design of the City of Vienna had the complete restoration of the historic Art Nouveau Chandeliers of type "crosier" provided. 2016, many of the 300 embedded in the ground, controlled by computer effect lamps are defective. The dismantling of outdated technology that was only in the early years serviced is being debated.
Under the Schwarzenbergplatz not only run the Vienna river and the subway line U4, here was once also the Zwingburg, a shelter for homeless and Strotter (people looking for recyclable waste products), who secluded themselves in the Vienna sewage system.
Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Großteil des Areals des heutigen Schwarzenbergplatzes von dem der Wiener Stadtmauer vorgelagerten Glacis eingenommen, das hier vom Wienfluss durchflossen wurde. Nach dem Abriss der Stadtmauer in den Jahren 1858 bis 1863 standen nun verhältnismäßig große Flächen im Bereich von Stadtmauer und Glacis zur Verbauung zur Verfügung. Ähnlich den Ringstraßenpalais der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden auch hier einige Prachtbauten errichtet.
1861 wurde von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. beschlossen, dem 1813 in der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig siegreich gewesenen Feldherrn Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg hier ein Denkmal errichten zu lassen. Das Reiterstandbild wurde vom Dresdner Bildhauer Ernst Hähnel (1811–1891) ab 1863 geschaffen, die militärisch angelegte Grundsteinlegung zum Monument fand am 18. Oktober 1863 statt (dem 50. Jahrestag der Völkerschlacht), die feierliche Enthüllung des (in jenen Tagen ästhetisch wie historisch nicht unumstrittenen) Denkmals am 20. Oktober 1867 (nachdem der Jahrestag der Völkerschlacht, der 18. Oktober, aus politischer Rücksicht nicht wahrgenommen worden war).
Seit 1865 führte die 1895 abgebrochene Schwarzenbergbrücke über den Fluss zum Rennweg (Route nach Ungarn), zur späteren Prinz-Eugen-Straße (Zufahrt vom Stadtzentrum zu Südbahnhof und Staatsbahnhof, später Ostbahnhof) und zum dazwischen liegenden Palais Schwarzenberg.
Historische Jugendstil-Platzbeleuchtung vom Typ "Bischofsstab"
Anlässlich des Baus der I. Wiener Hochquellenwasserleitung wurde vor dem Palais Schwarzenberg (auf einem Areal, das damals noch nicht zum Schwarzenbergplatz zählte) der Hochstrahlbrunnen errichtet und am 23. Oktober 1873 mit einer Zeremonie, der Kaiser Franz Joseph I. beiwohnte, eröffnet. Die seit etwa 1870 von der Seilerstätte stadtauswärts bis zum Wienfluss verlaufende Schwarzenbergstraße wurde 1880 in ihrem südlichen Abschnitt zwischen Ringstraße und Lothringerstraße, der Bedeutung des Ensembles mit dem Reiterdenkmal entsprechend, in Schwarzenbergplatz umbenannt.
Der 1895 bis 1902 eingewölbte Wienfluss, an dessen südlichem Ufer bis 1899 die ebenfalls eingewölbte Wientallinie der Wiener Stadtbahn gebaut wurde, verlief an dieser Stelle etwa im Zuge der südlichen Fahrbahn der Lothringerstraße. 1904 wurde der Platz südlich bis zum Palais Schwarzenberg erweitert. Die Angabe, die Schwarzenbergstraße habe sich zuvor bereits bis zum Palais Schwarzenberg erstreckt, harmoniert nicht mit historischen Stadtplänen und Adressbüchern.
Hinter dem (= südlich vom) Hochstrahlbrunnen wurde im August 1945, unmittelbar nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, von der Roten Armee das Heldendenkmal (im Volksmund bis heute: Russendenkmal) enthüllt; bis 1955 war dort auch ein sowjetischer Panzer SU-100 aufgestellt. Während der Besatzungszeit wurde der südliche Teil des Schwarzenbergplatzes am 12. April 1946 in Stalinplatz umbenannt und behielt diesen Namen bis 18. Juli 1956. Im Haus der Industrie, damals Stalinplatz 4, befand sich bis 1955 der Sitz des Alliierten Rates der vier Besatzungsmächte.
In den Jahren 2003 und 2004 wurde der Schwarzenbergplatz nach einem Konzept des spanischen Architekten Alfredo Arribas neu gestaltet und zusätzlich mit im Boden eingelassenen Beleuchtungselementen ausgestattet, die verschiedene Lichteffekte darstellen. Im Zuge des Umbaus wurden die bis dahin vorhandenen kleinen Grünflächen entfernt, was auch kritisiert wurde. Besonders starke Vorbehalte gab es gegen die Ersetzung der großteils noch vorhandenen schlanken Lichtmasten aus 1904 durch Beleuchtungskörper, die von Kritikern als plump und klobig empfunden wurden. Die vorherige Konzeption der Gemeinde Wien hatte die vollständige Wiederherstellung der historischen Jugendstil-Beleuchtungskörper vom Typus "Bischofsstab" vorgesehen. 2016 sind viele der 300 im Boden eingelassenen, per Computer angesteuerten Effektleuchten defekt. Der Rückbau der veralteten Technik, die nur in den ersten Jahren gewartet wurde, steht zur Diskussion.
Unter dem Schwarzenbergplatz verlaufen nicht nur der Wienfluss und die U-Bahn-Linie U4, hier befand sich einst auch die Zwingburg, ein Unterschlupf für Obdachlose und Strotter, die sich in der Wiener Kanalisation zurückzogen.

Harmonizing Health Retreat is a fun thing to do in Trimble County! On the first Tuesday of every month, the retreat hosts a Women's Circle of Light group. On the third Tuesday of each month men and women are invited to come from 7-9:00pm to experience walking the Labyrinth and to learn how it can be helpful in problem solving any upsetting life challenges you may have.
For more information on the retreat or the women's networking group, contact Rev. Patrice Joy Masterson at 937-631-5581 and please do visit her website at Harmonizing Health Retreat as there is so much more offered than I have mentioned!

National Museum of World Writing
The proposed Museum of World Writing is located at Central park of Songdo International Business District known as 'ubiquitous city'. Since this city of 1500 acres is build from the scratch on reclaimed land from Sea, the proposed form respect and consider this aspect as well as the actual site within which the building will sit.
The site is of odd geometry where essentially three geometrical shapes fuse together to form a shape with eight edges.
The proposed building form reciprocate these aspects and harmonize not only to the site within the site (Central Park) but the whole built environment at vicinity, the new Songdo City, its port (second busiest in Korea) and to the countries' busiest airport as the site is situated parallel to the city's main access to the airport.
The museum is sitting on a podium shape which is influenced by site's geometry as well as waterfront and the various direct and secondary access routes to the central park.
Since public spaces are most essential element of any city, which not only influence the lives of individual but society as a whole. This museum is intended to be belonged to everyone and design incorporates these essential and practical aspects delivering a truly functional pragmatic museum.
Design Concept - in Continuation
A museum is the symbol of regeneration, preservation and continuation and this has been the essence of our proposed design process.
The design for the National Museum of World Writing is based on intuitive and sympathetic approach to the context, nature of site and Songdo city as a whole. The vast scale of site , the central park , the reclaimed land from sea, the location of Songdo within Incheon City, the high rise office towers in surrounding and the purpose of museum itself assists to provide the clues for design concept.
The design is intended to enhance , create, reinvent the missing or existing key pedestrian link, built mass and other open spaces of the central park and its immediate built urban environment. The idea is to have a museum building which is welcoming and friendly to public and appropriately embraces site surrounding and context without dominating it.
The museum building is sitting on an elevated plinth / podium. The plinth consists of basement which is housing the parking, services, the storage , special exhibition gallery, and a central atrium with cafe. Two connecting entries are introduced for visitors to improve the connectivity at this level and eventually to the building as whole.
Design Concept - Abstract
The discovery of first metal by man becomes his first step towards modernization and arguably the invention of script is 'first step to the path leading to civilization'. The invention of written script is what may have distinguished and established human's superiority over animals. Therefore it won't be an over statement to make that 'Written script invention is probably the greatest invention of human's during Bronze-age to Iron- age.''
The first discovery of metal was Copper followed by bronze and ultimately Iron. The continuity of this period is displayed by using and exhibiting the COR-TEN Steel as main cladding material. These facade's cladding will have ancient language symbols and scripted and cut-through them. The similar pattern of Language Scripts engraved in concrete and also displayed on the translucent glass - the emitting light in night will exhibit and remind the city of relevance of this invaluable treasure.
The building also consists of eight Large columns which are intentionally designed as little disproportionate to the form. The idea behind is to represent the 'known eight direction' across the globe - of which this museum belongs to. The columns are inclined to have an origin beneath the earth - somewhere below the museum itself - The torch light from them to the sky - will be represent the infinity - a tribute to all the lost and undocumented world scripts - which took centuries to evolve and then lost forever - without a trace..
Building layout and form
The proposed building layout is simple and symmetrical, the architecture in center is open and raw resulting in a public building which is clean, efficient and visually and functionally legible. The building is non imposing in terms of shape and size - giving freedom to the visitors as how to use it.
The museum building by its compact 'Zero' inverted shape and variation in height helps to retain the integrity of the central park and surrounding by respecting the open character of park and area around. Main public functions are easily accessed with a clear separation of private and service functional spaces. The building shapes doesn't have any sharp edges thus retaining the continuity on the external skin of building - avoiding essentially any rear or front and thus keeping the balance of visitors moment from all side .
The museum makes best use of its ellipse shape with continuous ring of translucent glass & clear glass - which in day time create an atmosphere of transparency and of welcoming feeling and at night the multi-layer facade of translucent and clear glass diffuse and reflects the internal light making the museum as a lamp / lantern of the central park.
The corridors and the projected balconies around the central atrium will encourages people to flow within this public building uninterruptedly. The delicately assembled fragmented volumes will create logical passages in between, which will allow the visitors to break from long corridors and also offers the flexibility about use of space. The proposed design promotes openness and boost public engagement. Visitors will be able to enjoy and appreciate the exhibits and the building itself while walking through these simple magnificent but generous corridors.
The lavish passage in-between the exhibition galleries will be a complementary open space. The comfortable atmosphere creating an contradictory feeling of being social and familiar.
Gracing the Park and waterfront
The distinctive yet elegantly 'sculptured -like' appearance sitting majestically on podium provides a charismatic addition to the park and city skyline. Clearly visible by its distinctive yet fitting shape and size in cluster of akin high rise buildings. The museum building taking advantage of spectacular setting of park and waterfront will leave a remarkable imprint on the visitors arriving either by land , sea (part) or air (airport).
The Museum Building - with circulation Strategy
Once in Museum the central staircase is the primary vertical circulation. It is split on either side of exhibition galleries and public spaces. A linear straight stair reaches directly to the second floor's Education area and Library.
The functional spaces are also connected through two ramps - parallel to each other. The internal ramp and the roof of internal ramp is denoted as external ramp - The internal ramps connects the Ground floor to First and Second floor and ascends within the void along with longitudinal southern side of the building offering a majestic view of the park. The external ramp (roof of the internal ramp will have uninterrupted access to top terrace to the public from outside the museum. On the North East side. The external stairs takes visitors to the lower terrace and there will be provision for the Museum staff to access the First floor office from these stairs.
Materials
COR-TEN Steel
The use of Cor-ten Steel as facade cladding pay homage to 'Copper to Iron Age" during which the various language scripture were evolved and developed from Copper-age to Bronze-age and then throughout Iron Age. The material as a facade skin will also be easy to maintain and with adequate paint coating protection will face the Sea's salt wind in desired and natural process - as the World's language scripts have been through.
Translucent Glass
The museum will makes best use of its ellipse shape with continuous ring of translucent glass & clear glass - which in day time create an atmosphere of transparency and of welcoming feeling and at night the multi-layer facade of translucent and clear glass diffuse and reflects the internal light making the museum as a lamp / lantern of this park.
Conclusion
The proposed 'National Museum of World Writing' will ultimately be a unique, conveniently accessible and a very public building. It will be effectively a new addition to destination's of Songdo city along with waterfront and Central park.
This monumental yet elegant and imposing building will not only be an addition to Incheon but a tribute to the "all known and undiscovered , documented and unrecorded, prevailing and forgotten' World Scripts.
This timeless and priceless treasured collection of humanity which continuously and constantly evolved from 'Stone-Age' through Iron-age to present 21st Century needs equally commensurate building - if not less.
The proposed building is designed to meet most of these aspects and design requirements - if not all.

A unique project—Jacob Collier’s first-ever college residency—brought together the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble, MIT’s Ben Bloomberg and other members of the MIT music community.
Collier’s music combines elements of jazz, a cappella, world, contemporary classical, pop, gospel, R&B and soul. He is well known for his viral YouTube videos, which have turned numerous legendary artists into fans, including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, David Crosby, Jamie Cullum, Take 6 and Quincy Jones—now his manager/mentor.
In 2014, he began working with MIT’s Ben Bloomberg (a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab) who helped transform Collier’s video productions into live one-man-show performances. Bloomberg also designed and created a custom unique Vocal Harmonizer, which has provided Collier a vehicle to simultaneously combine his vocal and keyboard talents live.
Collier’s December residency at MIT—culminating with a major concert in Kresge Auditorium on December 10—involved several first-time elements. Collier and the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble (FJE) with additional musicians presented the premiere of an experimental piece crafted by Collier. Several new big band arrangements of Collier’s music were also featured, two of which crafted by MIT alumnus Jamshied Sharifi and one by Collier himself. The concert included Collier performing some jazz standards with the FJE as well as some solo performances.

Aikido demonstration at Tanabe Matsuri.
Aikido (合気道) or the Way of Harmonized Energy is a relatively new system of Martial Art developed between the 1930's and the 1960's by Ueshiba Moriehei, a native to Tanabe-shi, Wakayama-ken. It is a Martial Art system totally based on defensive maneuvers used to subdue and restrain attackers with as little violence and fuss as possible. Though many schools train with a short sword or staff Aikido itself does not have it's own system of attacks. While attacks are learned, they are only learned for the purpose of demonstrating how to defend against them.
Aikido technique does not focus on blocks but the redirection of the energy of the attack. It is thus also a very spiritual martial art.
Unfortunately the world's most famous Aikido martial artist is Steven Segal.
