The Alexander Hamilton Custom House is one of New York's finest examples of Beaux Arts architecture, incorporating City Beautiful Movement planning principles with architecture, engineering, and fine arts. The seven story structure with 450,000 square feet sits on three city block in Bowling Green.
Is is here, at the southern terminus of the old Algonquin trade route, Wiechquaekeck Trail, that Peter Minuet purchased the island of Manhattes for trinkets valued at 60 guilders, or about $24, from the Lenape Indians in 1626. Soon thereafter the Dutch West India Company built Fort Amsterdam on this site, which came to be the nucleus for the New Amsterdam settlement. After the American Revolution the fort was replaced by the brick Government House, which was intended to be but never used as a residence for the President. Instead it became the residence of New York Governors DeWitt Clinton and John Jay. The building served briefly as the Custom House from 1799 and 1815 before being torn down and replaced with rowhouses.
Before a federal income tax was imposed in 1916, a primary source of revenue for the federal government was custom duty. New York City, as the country's most active port, has had a Custom House since the country's founding in in 1781. In 1899, the United States Department of the Treasury acquired the Bowling Green property and sponsored a competition to build a new U.S. Custom House. Minnesotan Cass Gilbert, who later designed the Woolworth Building, won the competition by designing a building that was not just a functional building for commerce, but exuded a palatial grandeur. Construction began in 1900 and completed in 1907.
The interior of the building is dominated by the huge rotunda, which survives as one of the largest public spaces in New York. Commissioned In 1936 as part of the Treasury Relief Art Project, Reginald Marsh was commissioned to paint the elliptical space around the 140-ton skylight with sixteen frescoes. The larger sections portray eight successive stages of the arrival of an ocean liner in the harbor. Eight smaller panels, painted in grisaille to simulate statuary, depict famous explorers like Amerigo Vespucci, Christopher Columbus, Giovanni da Verrazano and Henry Hudson.
Above the main cornice on the sixth story are standing sculptures representing the great commercial sea-faring nations, from the Phoenicians to the Americans.
Central to Gilbert's design of the Custom House were four separate sculptures to be placed at the front entrance of the Custom House, representing four continents (from left to right) - Asia, America, Europe and Africa. Gilbert asked both Daniel Chester French and August Saint-Gaudens both to submit designs for the sculptures. Saint-Gaudens declined the invitation, citing other work he was occupied with, so French received the commission. French began designing the sculptures of "Continents" in 1903 and they were completed and installed in 1907. Art scholars consider French's "Continents" to be perhaps the best examples of architecture sculpture in the United States. Each of the four "Continents" represent a view of the continents through French's early 20th century lens: Asia and Africa are still cloaked in mystery, Europe is in the waning years of its colonial conquests, and America is emerging as a new, vibrant society.
The building was subsequently abandoned in the 1970's and was scheduled for demolition before being saved and restored in the early 1980's. In 1987, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York occupied the building and in 1994, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian took over two floors of the Old Custom House.
The United States Custom House was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1965. Its interior was designated separately in 1979.

This poster uses almost perfect vertical symmetry in its design. The small Mickey Mouse head at the top of the poster marks the dividing point. From there, the word "Twenty" is split, three letters on each side. The number 13 roughly follows the line. This pattern continues all the way down, to the second Mickey head, banners, circles, and all other design elements in the background and foreground.
This poster was part of a 2013 calendar collection from the Disneyland Resort. Photograph by me.
Scanning negatives from 'first principles' ; PHOTAX test negative / the negative was illuminated by simply laying it flat on a light box, then photographed with a Canon G9 power shot digital camera (camera held rigid on a copy stand) The image was uploaded onto an iPad mini and then edited on the iPad using the Snap Seed application : I reversed the image from negative to positive (seen here) by using the 'curves' facility of the Snap Seed app. Considering the primitive nature of the scanning method it's a reasonable result and offers a way to get negative images onto internet media sites (such as Flickr).

Developed using the principles of New Urbanism, CLC worked with its private sector partners to create a compact, pedestrian-friendly community. Our shared goal was to build a space where residents are never more than a few minutes away from parks, schools, green space and access to public transit. With 1,600 housing units ranging from single-family homes to townhouses and apartments, as well as retail shops and services located on the property, the development offers something for everyone.
Garrison Woods also celebrates its association with its military past, by retaining existing street names from the former Canadian Forces Base. As a gesture of respect to the Base’s history, Garrison Woods also incorporates memorials to pay tribute to the men and women of Canada’s military.
Garrison Woods was completed in 2004, and has since become one of Calgary’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
_______
La SIC et ses partenaires du secteur privé ont utilisé les principes du nouvel urbanisme pour créer un quartier compact et invitant pour la marche. Le but consistait à construire un secteur où les gens sont à quelques minutes à pied des parcs, écoles, espaces verts et transport en commun. Le quartier compte 1 600 résidences de toutes sortes, des maisons individuelles aux maisons en rangée et aux appartments, de même que des commerces et services qui répondent aux besoins des résidents.
Garrison Woods est un endroit qui commémore l’histoire militaire des lieux, en conservant les noms des rues de l’ancienne base des Forces canadiennes. En guise de respect pour l’histoire de la base, des monuments ont aussi été érigés à Garrison pour rendre hommage aux hommes et aux femmes qui ont servi dans les Forces canadiennes.
Garrison Woods a été terminé en 2004 et, depuis, est devenu un des quartiers les plus recherchés de Calgary.
The principles mound is headed by the august bodies of the W3C (the the MIT Great Dome) and the Ietf (the greybeards as greek gods). Singled out are the key principles which lead to the success of the Web: Cool URIs Don't Change, Safety, Jon Postel's law "be conservative in what you send, liberal in what you accept" otherwise known as The Robustness Principle, the IETF mantra "rough consensus and running Code", the separation of content from representation and finally the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_principle's famous The Network is Stupid paper.

Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

Carlous Palmer Designs, LLC.
The Challenge:
The challenge for the WEB EXOTIQE COLLECTION was to create a collection based on basic principles of minimalism. The designs for this collection must have a futuristic yet wearable appeal and only the use of Eco-conscious (materials that are directly from/ or easy on the environment) materials. The use of the colors (BLUE), which represents coolness and fluidity (GREEN) which represents wealth, as well as taking our wealth to improve our environment , lastly the shade (black) or the tint (white). The collection must have a message that relates to the current human condition. In this particular challenge black was chosen to represent depth as well as a timeless all inclusive beauty, after all Black is a mixture of all of the colors on the color wheel created to make one.
The-concept:
An Eco- conscious ready to wear collection with an artistic flair that juxtapositions sensuality and sexuality to celebrate the female body in a tasteful manner while asking the question what does the future hold? This collection was executed with the use of Beachwood Pulp, Cotton and Squid Ink.
The Execution (Artist Statement)
The lack of a full creative team forced the designer to have to search high and low for inspiration, recently moving back to Baltimore , since the designers usual Palm Beach sources of inspiration were not readily available to him; so for the first time Carlous went out into the world and studied the people around him, he noticed groups of people doing various activities together ,hence the use of (Black) , a shade that cannot be accomplished without the use of all of the colors in the color spectrum; also black is a shade that represents mystery and intrigue. The designer also asked several women who have a very distinct sense of style and whom the artist believes are some of the best dressed women in Baltimore. Out of the five that were asked all except one said, CORAL. Carlous immediately knew that he had limitations of utilizing Blue ,green and black, so his solution was to add the color coral by way of jewelry and makeup, lastly The designer needed architectural inspiration, because for those of you, who are familiar with his work, understand that his design aesthetic derives from the use of simple geometric shapes that work cohesively to create interesting fashion when worn by the human figure. Mr Palmer’s immediate choice of Architectural inspiration was the Earl S. Richardson Library at Morgan University; the staircase is a fashion gem which not many of us notice, but will soon be noted for being one of Baltimore’s new architectural marvels. The Bugatti Veyron was the engineering inspiration, its sleek modern design can only inspire. I hope that you all enjoy the collection available on the east coast at KATWALK and coming soon to retailers in Los Angeles and Hawaii.
About the Photography
Creating a collection takes a lot of work and energy, bringing the clothes to life, is a job that only great photographers can do. This collection is the first collection that Carlous created in Baltimore City in over ten years. He spent months looking for a photographer that not only had integrity and the ability to work with some of outlandish ideas, but a photographer that can turn his concepts into dynamic eye catching works of art that are meant to inspire. Although, he has worked with many photographers over the years, the designer decided to work with someone that he was unfamiliar with; in his search he found the most amazing photographer. The photographer Mark Moyer is a graduate of Towson State University, also a full service photography business in the city of Baltimore, Maryland. This collection would not have its amazing appeal without the powerful images that this two photographer has created it is encouraged that you to visit the Photographers website to see how you can have your own beautiful images created, www.moyerphotography.com.
About the Location
For over 140 years, Morgan State University has been an important part of the higher education system in Baltimore City, the State of Maryland, and the nation. Throughout its history, Morgan has served the community with distinction while meeting the educational needs of an increasingly diverse society. Its designation as Maryland's Public Urban University assures that Morgan will continue to play a prominent role in Maryland's education future. (MSU . 2011. Web. 2012). The reason for utilizing the Earl S. Richardson Library at Morgan State University my choice to shoot this collection at the University is due to my strong ties to the university. The inspiration that the library gives me is unmatched by any inspiration that I have ever had. I hope to draw attention to the University’s magnificent beauty in hopes that others will be as inspired as I have been.
