Close your eyes and listen. The rush of water harmonizes with the rustling leaves and the distant calls of birds. It's a symphony composed by nature–a melody that resonates deep within your soul. As you follow the stream, you'll encounter mini waterfalls, their spray catching the sunlight like a thousand diamonds.
Fujigawachi Valley receives water from Mount Natsuki, a 1,386-meter-high mountain situated on the border of Oita and Miyazaki prefectures. The journey begins at Kannon Falls and extends for approximately eight kilometers.
For photographers, Fujigawachi Valley is a dream. Capture the play of light on water, the reflections in still pools, and the interplay of shadows and sunbeams. Whether you wield a professional camera or a humble smartphone, every frame here is a masterpiece waiting to be framed.
I'm preggers in this picture, although you can't really see it ;)
I had a little contest on my podcast, hence the words on the picture. Contest if now over, oh well. I know I'll be having some more soon though!

"...Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
Martin Luther King Jr.
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.

sometimes all the flaws and weaknesses harmonize.
went out for a walk. had a long lens, and it was pretty much dark, and this was backlit, and they were kinda scraggly flowers. this was handheld at about 4 seconds or so.
but yeah: everything conspired to make a really lovely picture, right out of the box.
thanks.
"phosphere" is an exploratory harmonization of two distinct spaces—a dance stage and an installation component—into one performative spatial whole. By processing in real-time all the elemental movements throughout the entire performance space with motion capture, it is possible to trace the movement of a dancer’s hand, for example, and instantaneously convert that movement into three-dimensional video. In turn, this technology unlocks a new realm of creative possibility, and enables a groundbreakingly minute interplay between dance and video elements. In the pivotal culmination of this spatial interplay, objects are reduced to light, and the human body is restored to the transcendently ephemeral.

BEIJING AND MOSCOW BUILD A NEW MODEL OF GREAT-POWER RELATIONS
Observers in the West tend to underestimate the solid foundation of the current Chinese-Russian relationship. The intimacy between Beijing and Moscow is often referred to as a “marriage of convenience.” Both Beijing and Moscow, however, rank their ties as the “peak” in mutual history. We can look at this unprecedented phenomenon through two analytical frameworks: the conceptual framework of converging visions of the future world order and the effective operational framework of harmonized national interests.
EQUALITY IN PLACE OF HEGEMONY
In the conceptual framework, Russia and China share a strategic vision against the unipolar world: both see the United States in relative decline and the world already becoming multipolar. In the process of mismanaging its decline, the U.S. suffers from a psychological problem that is often labeled as Post-imperial Time Lag Syndrome (PITLES) and is manifest in the unfounded fear of rising powers. Moreover, both Beijing and Moscow consider their countries to be on the path of national restoration, hence a declining U.S. that is oversensitive to any sign of power challenge from potential rivals and poses a major obstacle to their objectives. The world is changing and the world order must be revamped. Pax Americana is over and Washington must adjust to the new world. Chinese culture is fundamentally anti-hegemonic, and its implication for global governance leads inevitably to competing interpretations of what is the global “moral center.”
If a morally corrupted system does not undergo serious reform, it will not be able to sustain itself for long. Looking from whatever perspective, Beijing’s external policies have raised the specter of a meaningful alternative to Western models of international order, for the first time in three centuries.
But the debates over whether China is going to comply with established (Western) rules of the international system miss the point and encounter at least two cognitive problems. The first problem is the intellectual habit, both in moral and practical sense, of applying Western standards for assessing the “proper” international behavior of a non-Western actor. Here the insurmountable difficulty is for the West to recognize the legitimacy of any alternative model of conducting global affairs based on an entirely different system of domestic governance.
There is no “order versus chaos” mental paradigm which is predominant in mainstream Western IR theories. Naturally, this Western paradigm always focuses upon the international power distribution, hence the need for establishing and maintaining a kind of mechanical power hierarchy in order to keep stability, defined either by hegemony or “balance of power.” In Chinese conception, permanent existence of hegemonic power in any political system cannot be sustained, as the hegemon will inevitably start to misbehave morally. But the new order is not recreated by another pattern of power distribution such as “balance of power” or war, but rather maintained by leaders whose behavior is morally correct. Beijing’s rapidly increasing economic and political power demonstrates that a non-Western actor is equally skilled, powerful and willing to perform on the global stage. In this respect, the acknowledgment of China’s legitimate role as an international actor implies, above all, the treatment of Beijing as an equal partner in the West-dominated international society.
Another cognitive problem is the lack of analytical tools or indeed the right language to explain this new development in international order as a result of China’s “rise.” To begin with, China does not consider itself to be on the “rise,” but in a historic process of national “restoration.” That means, as Henry Kissinger stated in his recent book On China, “the Chinese DNA has reasserted itself,” which explains why so much interest has been accorded to Beijing’s foreign policies, “confronting the new challenges of the twenty-first century, and in a world where Leninism has collapsed, Hu [Jintao] and Wen [Jiabao] turned to traditional wisdom.” The cognitive challenges to analyzing China’s foreign relations have left Western observers frustrated and they have to elicit allegories of animals to help interpret China’s external behavior, ranging from a cute and cuddling “panda” to a terrifying, fire-emitting “dragon.” In the Unites States, for example, pro-Beijing policymakers are labeled “Panda Huggers,” while those opposing China’s foreign policy are known as “Dragon Slayers.” These allegorical images do not clarify but obfuscate the understanding of China’s foreign relations. Such animal allegories confirm that IR theories seem to gravitate easily towards the realms of fiction and fantasy.
Coincidentally, the Chinese view on the world order at this historical juncture is shared and dovetailed by Putin’s Russia. Both sides hold the view that Washington’s alienation from both Beijing and Moscow is reflected by the deeply rooted fear of the U.S. losing hegemonic status as the “only indispensable superpower” (Madeleine Albright). The indications of the U.S. fear are plenty. From Beijing’s point of view, the U.S. decision to restart a Cold War containment machine with the pivot or “rebalancing strategy” in Asia was driven by misguided fear. From Moscow’s perspective, due to the blind American triumphalism over the Cold War, Washington has deliberately ignored the crucial contribution from the USSR to the ending of the Cold War. As a result, the Western alliance took the advantage of post-Soviet chaos to push the Western sphere of influence towards the Russian border.
In sharp contrast to mutual suspicion and deteriorating relationship between Washington and Beijing, the Chinese-Russian tie has proved to be a stable strategic partnership and by no means a marriage of convenience. It is built on mutual understanding, respect and national interests. Dramatic changes in international relations since the end of the Cold War have brought the two countries closer together. Nevertheless, neither side has interest in a formal alliance, because it is unnecessary. Since the end of the Cold War, the two sides have successfully resolved most of the historical obstacles such as thousands of border disputes and initiated and succeeded in building the first multilateral regional institution of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is hardly an anti-U.S. or anti-Western bloc. Rather, it provides a safe environment for the two countries and their central Asian partners to support each other through active cooperation. China even hopes this type of cooperation led by two major powers may offer a model for managing the great power relations, especially concerning the U.S.-China relations. The Chinese have offered the concept of “New Type of Great Power Relations” to Washington, but so far it has not been accepted by the American side.
HARMONIZING INTERESTS
On the operational level, the China-Russia ties have been evolving at a rapid pace in the past twenty years. Over this period bilateral trade and investment have expanded on a massive scale. In 2011, China became Russia’s largest trading partner. In 2014 alone, China’s investment in Russia grew by 80 percent—and the trend towards more investment remains strong. In the early 1990s, annual bilateral trade between China and Russia amounted to around $5 billion; by 2014, it came close to $100 billion. That year, Beijing and Moscow signed a landmark agreement to construct a pipeline that, by 2018, will bring as much as 38 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas to China every year. The two countries are also planning significant deals involving nuclear power generation, aerospace manufacturing, high-speed rail, and infrastructure development. Moreover, they are cooperating on newly created multinational financial institutions, such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the New Development Bank BRICS, and the BRICS foreign exchange reserve pool. The One Belt One Road Initiative, disliked by Russia at first, is now linked to Moscow’s favorite project of the Eurasian Union.
Meanwhile, China has become one of the largest importers of Russian arms, and the two countries are discussing a number of joint arms research-and-development projects. Extensive Chinese-Russian defense cooperation involves regular exchange and consultations between high-level military personnel and joint training and exercises, including more than a dozen joint counterterrorism exercises during the past decade or so, carried out either bilaterally or under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. As economic and military links have strengthened, political ties are getting ever closer. Since 2013, Xi and Putin have met 12 times.
Of course, China’s rise has been viewed worrisome among some in Russia. There is still talk in Russia of “the China threat,” Russia’s public opinion poll showed that around 60 percent of Russians were concerned that Chinese migration to Far Eastern border areas would threaten Russia’s territorial integrity; 41 percent believed that a stronger China would harm Russia’s interests. However, these concerns do not support the speculation in the West that Beijing and Moscow are alienated from each other. The crises in Syria and Ukraine indicate that China and Russia can effectively manage their partnership under difficult conditions. China did not take any side but expressed sympathy with Russia’s historical sensitivity to the Ukraine crisis. Chinese leaders are unambiguous about what led to the crisis, including the series of Western-supported “color revolutions” in post-Soviet states and the pressure on Russia that resulted from NATO’s eastward expansion.
On Syria, Beijing supports Russia’s claim that its military intervention at the request of the Syrian government is aimed at combating terrorist forces. China hopes that talks among parties concerned may help resolve the conflict.
* * *
China-Russia ties are at their best since the time of Catherine the Great. They are built on a solid foundation and will remain stable for a long time. Meanwhile, the Sino-American relationship will increasingly run into trouble. As no one seems able to persuade the American leaders to give up their hegemonic fantasies and policy, the strategic partnership between Beijing and Moscow will remain a healthy check on Washington’s “unipolar folly.”

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.

They came to the US from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a mixture of Latin rhythms, performed with Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres, Peruvian cajón (box-drum) and harmonizing vocals.
The story of Los Pinguos began in 1999 when Adrián Buono, José Agote, Juan Manzur and Juan Manuel Leguizamón formed the band to play in clubs, bars, and private parties throughout Buenos Aires. Their exciting, passionate live shows garnered a devoted fan base, inspiring the talented ensemble to pursue global attention.
So they packed their bags and headed north to the Californian shores. Newly arrived to the City of Angels in early 2001, Los Pinguos began playing at local bars such as The Latin Lounge, The Knitting Factory, Key Club, Temple Bar & Little Temple. As their popularity grew, they were invited to perform at the end-of-season party for the Fox hit television show Dharma & Greg.
It was when they started to perform for the crowds at Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade that the band realized their potential to reach a wide and diverse audience.
While performing, they were spotted by a talent scout who urged them to audition for a new television show, The Next Big Star, hosted and produced by Ed McMahon of Star Search fame. In spite of fierce competition from more seasoned groups, and being the only Latin band to perform, Los Pinguos won the audience vote and rightly claimed the Grand Prize.
Soon after this, bassist Santiago Lee joined the group, giving Los Pinguos a strong backbone and groove to the music. The new bass adds to the complexity of sounds from the vocals, the Cuban Tres (a guitar-like, six-string instrument with three double strings) and the Peruvian cajón, which is often played in "creole waltzes" and flamenco music. Los Pinguos' music has appeared in TV shows such as The Shield, The L Word, and is featured in the Antonio Banderas and Emma Thompson film Imagining Argentina. The quintet has played with such artists such as Ozomatli, Paul Anka, Suzanne Vega and Plácido Domingo among many others.

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.

Double,
Is it so difficult harmonize the reality ?
I believe that sometimes it is our mind that creates berriers due to our experience ,
but outside us the reality is too much close to fantasy than regularity;
here few seconds changed the sound but not the harmony...
Doppio,
E' così difficile armonizzare la realtà?
Credo che qualche volta sia la nostra mente a creare barriere dovute alla nostra esperienza,
ma fuoridi noi la realtà è molto più vicina alla fantasia che alla regolarità;
qui pochi secondi hnno cambiato il suono ma non l'armonia ...

Located across from the Illinois State Capitol, the Illinois State Library was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White to harmonize with the other buildings in Springfield's Capitol complex. Construction began in late 1985 and was completed in 1990 at a cost of $36 million.
The exterior features Indiana limestone set over a base of granite highlighted by a fourth-floor frieze etched with the names of 35 of Illinois' most distinguished authors. Among those whose names have been etched in granite are Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sandberg, Upton Sinclair, Jane Addams, L. Frank Baum, Ray Bradbury, and Abraham Lincoln. Each of the 35 authors whose name is etched in stone has made a mark in the history of literature as well as the history of Illinois.
On June 6, 2003, the Illinois State Library building was rededicated and named in honor of the late poet, novelist and lecturer Gwendolyn Brooks Born in 1917, she is regarded as one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, and was the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize. In 1968, she was named Illinois Poet Laureate, succeeding Carl Sandburg, and served in that capacity until her death in 2000.
The Illinois State Library was conceived in 1839 by Secretary of State, Stephen A. Douglas. Over the years it has been housed in the Old State Capitol Building, current State Capitol Building, Centennial Building, and now this building. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, dedicated in 1889, can also be seen in this photo on the left.

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.

The modern courtyard at Worcester has modern gardens designed to harmonize with the student accomodations.
This path crosses Obusedo’s grounds, connecting Hokusai Museum with the Takai Kozan Memorial. It was the work of the Machinami Shukei Jigyo (Townscape Beautification Project), the group that reconstructed the company’s grounds between 1980 and 1987. Meetings were held to listen to the opinions of the government, other local businesses and the residents of Obuse. The “Obuse Method” to harmonize new and old structures and create a beautiful townscape using private and not government resources became known in Japan. The group used a tree from Obusedo’s orchad to construct the chestnut blocks that pave the path. Hence the name Chestnut lane, “Kuri no Komichi”, a characteristic corner of Obuse.

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.
