Seeing that it's back to school week, it seems appropriate to post an image of some pilots who've got a degree in "Higher Learning" with their Harvard monoplanes!

The Harvard was created over 60+ years ago to train pilots

for light bombing, gunnery, night formations and aerobatics.

Still well maintained, these 4 incredible pilots put the planes through their manoeuvres at the recent 2017 Canadian International Air Show!

Hart House is a student activity centre at the University of Toronto. Established in 1919, it is one of the earliest North American student centres, being the location of student debates and conferences since its construction. Hart House was initiated and financed by Vincent Massey, an alumnus and benefactor of the university, and was named in honour of his grandfather, Hart Massey.[1] The Collegiate Gothic-revival complex was the work of architect Henry Sproatt, who worked alongside decorator Alexander Scott Carter, and engineer Ernest Rolph, and subsequently designed the campanile at its southwestern corner, Soldiers' Tower. In 1957, the house hosted future U.S. President John F. Kennedy.[2]

History

Hart House, University of Toronto, taken in July 1924, from the M.O. Hammond fonds held at the Archives of Ontario.

As an undergraduate, Vincent Massey read history and English at University College in the University of Toronto, and then completed graduate studies in history at Balliol College, Oxford. Upon his return to Canada, he sought to bring a unifying, communitarian spirit to the highly independent colleges of the University of Toronto, inspired by the social and recreational life that he observed at Oxford's colleges. Massey, who in 1908 had become a trustee of his family estate, offered to establish a structure devoted to extracurricular activities at the university, an idea that was embraced by the university's governors. The land on which the building exists was close to the McCaul's pond, which was buried along with Taddle Creek in 1886.

Miami-Dade College Wolfson Campus Building 1, 300 NE 2nd Avenue, City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA / Architect: Hilario Candela / Built: 1971-1973 / Floors: 5 / Building Size: 312,500 Sq.Ft. / Architectural Style: Tropical Brutalist by Urban Florida Photographer

Groundbreaking for Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1 occurred in 1971, and the building was completed in 1973. The campus itself first opened in 1970, with classes initially held in downtown storefronts while its permanent facility was being constructed.

Hilario Candela was the architect of Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1. As a Cuban-born American architect, he designed key Brutalist-style buildings for several of the college's campuses, including Wolfson.

Candela was a key member of the architectural firm Pancoast, Ferendino, Grafton & Skeels, which designed the initial buildings for the North and Kendall campuses in the 1960s.

His signature "tropical Brutalist" style, with its use of raw concrete, is a defining feature of the Wolfson Campus architecture.

In addition to his work for Miami-Dade College, Candela is also known for designing the iconic Miami Marine Stadium.

Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1 was designed in the Brutalist style, specifically a regional variant referred to as "tropical Brutalism".

Elements of this architectural style as seen in the Wolfson Campus include:

Raw concrete: The buildings prominently feature exposed concrete, emphasizing the material's raw, unadorned nature.

Massive, geometric forms: Brutalist buildings are known for their blocky and monolithic appearance. Architect Hilario Candela, who designed the Wolfson Campus, referred to his vision as "a small city of interconnected geometric masses".

Function over form: In keeping with Brutalist ethos, the building's design emphasizes its function as a modern educational institution.

Adaptation to the Miami climate: In this "tropical Brutalist" interpretation, the buildings use covered walkways and strategically placed open spaces to provide constant shade and cover from the rain.

Miami-Dade College Wolfson Campus Building 2, 300 NE 2nd Avenue, City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA / Architect: Hilario Candela / Built: 1971-1973 / Floors: 2 / Building Usage: Classrooms and Labs / Architectural Style: Tropical Brutalist by Urban Florida Photographer

Within Miami Dade College's Wolfson Campus, Building 2 is known as the Classroom Building and is primarily used for academic and support functions. It does not have a unique name like some other campus buildings but is a fundamental part of the original campus design.

Key features and function

Classrooms and labs: The building houses a variety of standard classrooms and specialized laboratory facilities for different academic programs.

Media services: The media services department is located in room 2302 of Building 2.

Based on Miami Dade College's campus numbering system, building 2 (Building 2000) at the Wolfson Campus has two floors.

The campus map and room numbering key show that:

The first digit of a room number indicates the building number.

The second digit of a room number indicates the floor on which the room is located.

Since room numbers in Building 2, such as Room 2106, start with '21', the first digit indicates it is in Building 2, and the second digit indicates it is on the first floor. Other room listings confirm the existence of second-floor rooms in Building 2.

Academic and administrative support: While not a central student services building, it provides space for many of the day-to-day administrative and academic support offices.

Breezeway: A distinctive architectural feature of the Tropical Brutalist design is the breezy, open-air walkway (breezeway) that runs through Building 2, connecting different parts of the campus.

This multi-purpose academic building is key to the campus's function and provides a large portion of the instructional space for students

Here is one of my shots I grabbed last night at the University of Washington before heading back to find a $30 parking ticket on my car. :) I thought only students had to have a parking pass. :) The sky was really cool last night and I imagine someone out there got some amazing sunset shots. Well into blue hour the clouds got a red cast to them. This image was sharpened only with no other processing at all. For those of you in Seattle who are wondering, the cherry blossoms are at peak right now and look very nice. The weather is going to be perfect today for a trip to the campus. Just learn from my mistakes and pay for parking and watch out for the angry clouds of mosquitoes.
