Herengracht 25/06/2020 07h49
A new way for the municipality of Amsterdam to enforce shared space for pedestrians, cyclists and cars.
The yellow indications and footsteps are not accompanied by a road sign, so it has no further traffic validity.
Take care of eachother!
Herengracht
The Herengracht is the second of four Amsterdam canals belonging to the canal belt and lies between the Singel and the Keizersgracht. The Gouden Bocht (Golden Bend) in particular is known for its large and beautiful canal houses.
The Herengracht was built starting in 1612 on the initiative of Mayor Frans Hendricksz. Oetgens, city carpenter Hendrick Jacobsz. Staets and city surveyor Lucas Jansz Sinck. Before that it was a moat (dug in 1585) for the companies located behind the Singel. The canal ran within the city wall parallel to the canal outside the city wall. The Herengracht therefore still has a kink at Driekoningenstraat, where the outer moat was routed around a stronghold at that height. When the ditch was widened into the present canal it was given the name Herengracht in 1612, after the Heren Regeerders van de stad Amsterdam (Gentlemen Governors of the city of Amsterdam) The part between Leidsegracht and the Binnen Amstel is part of the expansion after 1658. This part contains the Gouden Bocht (Golden Bend), the most prestigious part of the Herengracht. Many of the houses were inhabited here by regents, mayors and traders who earned their fortunes in trade with South America or the Dutch East Indies.
Many buildings were built by the Amsterdam architects Philips Vingboons (1607–78) or Adriaan Dortsman (1635–82).
In the last expansion, the section east of the Amstel was laid to the water of the IJ. This last part, located in the prosperous part of Amsterdam's Jewish quarter, was named Nieuwe Herengracht.
Length: 2.4 km

~ Lawrence Durrell
An endless repetition not only for ourselves but also for the materialistic things around us. There are obviously a few advantages with this kind of architecture - saving valuable space, costs and time to go to your vehicle. Its quick and fast if you know where you parked. With the population explosion things are starting to get messy in every sphere and architecture is no different.
I'm interested to see how architecture would evolve and adjust in say 2050. The patterns would then be vastly different but how different?

This is another building pattern usually suited for Hotels/motels etc. This pattern has rooms attached to one another in lines and the balconies just divided by a thin block of wood or concrete. Privacy is not a priority in such buildings. But the advantage of such living is the cost - cheap and affordable.
This one taken from the Waikiki beach (see map) in Honolulu where millions of tourists around the world arrive each year to enjoy the sun, beaches and the culture of Hawaii.
This is a different hotel with a different kind of pattern. Do you see this as urban art or urban decay? What do you think? And do you thing the external architecture tell anything about how its going to be in the inside?
December 31 2009, Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii. Repetetion architecture from here.
The stairs up ahead are Rue du Malonat. The sign on the corner building is for the bar La Trappa, which still exists and has been indexed by foursquare.
I like the anti-Mickey sign. Any ideas on what that is?

Place Jamaa El Fna 04/07/2023 17h42
Not regulated shared space at Place Jemaa El Fna. And it almost always goes well.
Place Jemaa el-Fna
Jemaa el-Fnaa (Arabic: ساحة جامع الفناء ) also Jemaa el-Fna, Djema el-Fna or Djemaa el-Fnaa) is a square and market place in Marrakesh's medina quarter (old city). It remains the main square of Marrakesh, used by locals and tourists.
The origin of its name is unclear: jamaa means "congregation" or "mosque" in Arabic, probably referring to a destroyed mosque on the site. Fnaʼ or fanâʼ can mean "death/extinction" or "a courtyard, space in front of a building". "finâʼ in Arabic commonly means "open area"; a straight translation would be "the gathering/congregation area". Other meanings could be "The assembly of death," or "The Mosque at the End of the World". Another explanation is that it refers to a mosque with a distinctive courtyard or square in front of it. A third translation is "assembly of the dead", referring to public executions on the plaza around 1050 CE.
During the day it is predominantly occupied by orange juice stalls, water sellers with traditional leather water-bags and brass cups, youths with chained Barbary apes and snake charmers despite the protected status of these species under Moroccan law.
As the day progresses, the entertainment on offer changes: the snake charmers depart, and late in the day the square becomes more crowded, with Chleuh dancing-boys (it would be against custom for girls to provide such entertainment), story-tellers (telling their tales in Berber or Arabic, to an audience of locals), magicians, and peddlers of traditional medicines. As darkness falls, the square fills with dozens of food-stalls as the number of people on the square peaks.
The square is edged along one side by the Marrakesh souk, a traditional North African market catering both for the common daily needs of the locals, and for the tourist trade. On other sides are hotels and gardens and café terraces, and narrow streets lead into the alleys of the medina quarter.

It's complete!!
Purple, Green, white stripe with oh so cute black vinyl.
and shhh don't tell but the 'curtains' yeah.
they are really shower curtains.
Have you noticed how hard it is to find cute curtains with ACTUAL patterns on them. But shower curtains come in super uber cute patterns?? Weird.
these were from Walmart.com, I know? Double weird.

I kind of like this pattern where we can expect this hotel to be less "cramped" and can enjoy a decent say. But looks may be deceiving, only checking inside might reveal the real details. This architecture is little bit more pleasant compared to earlier ones which are totally for the "crowd". Here every two rooms "nearly" share the same balcony and who knows how it is inside.
This is a different hotel with a different kind of pattern. Do you see this as urban art or urban decay? What do you think? And do you thing the external architecture tell anything about how its going to be in the inside?
December 31 2009, Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii. Mass vacation architecture.

This is where the cyclist, who has just lost the lane shared with buses, taxis and motorbikes, needs to get onto the pavement and share with pedestrians.
A shared-space street near the Museumsplein. Hopscotch, monkey cages, bike racks, picnic tables. It's a street, too, but who's driving?
