SeARCH won a limited competition to design the new synagogue for the progressive Jewish congregation in Amsterdam. With 800 seats, it is the largest in the Netherlands. The building would ask for its own architectural identity where typically, ceremonial traditions and rituals present few recognizable reference points in a synagogue’s physical expression. The positioning of the benches opposite each other and parallel to the axis between the Bimah (preaching seat) and the Ark (depository for the Torah rolls), and the use of bright daylight are the most important starting points for the design process. Highly symbolic gestures integrated within and on the building facade reflect the beliefs central to Judaism. To provide an intimate sense of place for the new synagogue, SeARCH created a small island on which to situate the new building. Located in a park in Amsterdam South, the four-story building can be flexibly adapted for smaller weekly services as well as high holy services. The building’s shape is a reference to the orthogonal layout of the first temple, the Temple of Salomon. The hollowing out of this mass, to form the ‘emptiness’ of the great ceremonial hall, or Shul, also lends the building its identity.A symbol of the burning bush discovered by Moses on Mount Sinai, the Menorah is the oldest and most revered symbol of Judaism. Two openings cut in the shape of the menorah at either end of the building further strengthen the synagogue's identity while marking the direction toward Jerusalem. Drawing natural light indoors and emanating light from within, these large forms impact the arrangement of space within the Shul. Four balconies extend between each of the seven branches, further defining and highlighting the Menorah’s importance. A mikveh has been created within the prayer house; the small, tiled room, women and men participate in a ritual purification bath "living water", a mixture of tap water and rainwater. As a reminder to the Jews coming to server God, a mezuzah is placed at every doorway with a piece of parchment on which a portion from the Torah is written.A mixed program of worship, community, classroom, library and office spaces make up the new synagogue, which uses both new materials and ones salvaged from the synagogue that previously housed the liberal congregation.

For the group : Repackaged by Zero FM.
In a man made environment parallel lines seem to be all round us . I think I could have kept snapping parallel lines all day long. It certainly opened my eyes to parallel lines!

Long the poor relation of London Railways the resurgence of the West London Line is clearly shown at Shepherds Bush Station and the Westfield Shopping Centre. The site has parallels with the Stratford development on the other side of London having been originally developed for the 1908 Olympics and reused for the Olympics in 1948 and both now having Westfield shopping centres. Apparently the shopping centre isn't big enough, hence the cranes in the background - what else do we need to buy....?

66529 heading 4L85 12:28 Doncaster EPT - Felixstowe North FLT out of the new dive under at Marholm Junction near Peterborough. It would seem that on this date there was an imbalance with the flow of containers heavily weighted in one direction.
As this engineering project has only recently been completed, the general layout is unusually clean, tidy and vegetation-free. 04/04/2022.

On the A55 North Wales Expressway leaving Anglesey after another week staying in the area.
The A55, also known as the North Wales Expressway (Welsh: Gwibffordd Gogledd Cymru) is a major road in Britain. Its entire length from Chester to Holyhead is a dual carriageway primary route, with the exception of the Britannia Bridge over the Menai Strait and several short sections where there are gaps in between the two carriageways. All junctions are grade separated apart from a roundabout east of Penmaenmawr and another nearby in Llanfairfechan. Initially, the road ran from Chester to Bangor. In 2001, it was extended across Anglesey to the ferry port of Holyhead parallel to the A5 . The road improvements have been part funded with European money, under the Trans-European Networks programme, as the route is designated part of Euroroute E22 (Holyhead - Leeds - Amsterdam - Hamburg - Malmö - Riga - Moscow - Perm - Ekaterinburg - Ishim).
The A55 is sometimes called a motorway, because of its appearance, although it is not officially a motorway.
Heading back through the Penmaenbach area.
