Tokyo Tower 東京の塔 is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.5 metres (1,091 ft), it is the second tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. FootTown, a 4-story building located directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two observation decks. The 2-story Main Observatory is located at 150 meters (492 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a height of 250 meters (820 ft).
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2012.
The taller Tokyo Sky Tree is not as nice as Tokyo Tower. See it and u know what i mean.

Dancing Rabbit is located in a county that has no building codes, which gives members a great deal of leeway in deciding what to build. They do have an environmental covenant that disallows lumber, except for reclaimed lumber and locally harvested wood. Many structures utilize clay taken right out of the ground, often combined with straw bale construction.

The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.
Shukhov Hyperboloid Structure.
Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures such as towers where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an object high off the ground, but hyperboloid geometry is also often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy. The first hyperboloid structures were built by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov.
Hyperbolic structures have a negative Gaussian curvature, meaning they curve inward rather than curving outward or being straight. As doubly ruled surfaces, they can be made with a lattice of straight beams, hence are easier to build than curved surfaces that do not have a ruling and must instead be built with curved beams.
Hyperboloid structures are superior in stability towards outside forces compared with "straight" buildings, but have shapes often creating large amounts of unusable volume (low space efficiency) and therefore are more commonly used in purpose-driven structures, such as water towers (to support a large mass), cooling towers, and aesthetic features.
A good example of a Hyperboloid Structure is the control tower at Newcastle Airport.
The Structure was modelled in Autodesk Inventor and rendered in Autodesk 3DS.

A vision of yesterday’s tomorrow.
Westin Bonaventure Hotel,
Los Angeles,
California, USA
2015/06/19
During part of this years E3 business trip my team was lucky enough to stay at the landmark Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
The building is a striking vision of the future designed by architect John C. Portman, Jr and built in the mid 1970’s.
It’s main structure consists of four giant glass cylinders flanking a central hub with a myriad of interconnected walkways and bridges.
The space within is as mesmerising as it’s external reflections with natural light pouring in through giant skylights bouncing off concrete pillars and curved walkways.
If it feels familiar, it might be because you recognise it from one of the numerous TV shows and movies shot there.
From “True Lies” to “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” and most recently used as the NASA facility and rocket launch bay in Christopher Nolan’s epic “Interstellar.”

While vacationing in Upstate NY, on a tip from my dad, I discovered this weird two story structure. To get to it, I had to go into an area that had signs warning of live fire in progress with guns etc...after standing on the side of the road for about 5 minutes and hearing no guns or people I choose to run across the field and up the hill to this building. There were no windows of any kind, just solid walls going up two stories and tapering to a point where at one time a roof must have been present. The entrance was a 2.5 foot wide 'doorway' that extended upwards almost the entire height of the structure. Not sure if this was a barn or storage building of some kind but it was different that's for sure. Once inside, I walked through weeds growing up between small cracks of scorched earth and burnt debris. All around were shell casings, ammo boxes and a few spent tear gas grenades. Thankfully no gun toting people came around while I was there :) Shot on a Nikon d300 with a Sigma 10-20mm 9 shot HDR's processed in Photomatix and adjusted in Photoshop CS3.
Neighbors noticed the two car detached garage at 105 Davis Rd to be going good so they made the call to the Seymour Volunteers. When the tones dropped an automatic mutual aid was requested from the Town of Oxford for a ladder truck as Seymour's was out of service. The fire crews arrived to a fully involved garage fire which was spreading to the exposed section of the 1.5 story wood dwelling which was in close proximity. Fire had extended into the first floor as well as the attic space but quick work from the responders kept the fire from engulfing the dwelling as well. Searchs of the home were negative but the owner was still unaccounted for. As marshals dug throught the rubble which was once the garage in hopes of determining the origin of the fire they made the discovery of human remains amongst the ashes and charred wood. The body which was badly burned was taken by the medical examiners office so an autopsy might reveal the identity of the deceased.
I'm trying to decide where I should shoot some portraits in an abandoned place... if you can see these, feel free to weigh in. :)
I know, the names are *very* creative... :P
THE GOAL OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE? TO BROADEN HORIZONS. Expand space. This was the categorical imperative underpinning the creation of Azimut 75. The end result? Unprecedented liveability, commonly the exclusive province of larger yachts.
The flybridge, for example, runs from midship to stern, covering the entire cockpit. The furnishings follow the flowing forms of the sofas, creating various areas in which to relax. The electrically operated bimini top is incorporated in a dynamic fibreglass structure, allowing you to play with the light to its best advantage and create more or less shade, whatever the use. Functionality, of course, is unparalleled, with the large table, bar and grill making a special contribution.
SUNBATHING? IT'S EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE TODAY WITH HEADRESTS AND AN ADJUSTABLE BIMINI TOP TO PROVIDE SHADE IN THE BOW AREA TOO. The flybridge helm station combines comfort with unparalleled functionality, featuring adjustable height seats and an intercom system to communicate with the bow area, cockpit and engine room for easier manoeuvring.
Created to adapt to any occasion throughout the day, the flybridge offers copious seating for afternoons spent in the sun, plus two convenient cocktail tables which join in the evening to become a spacious table seating ten. An aerial view of the flybridge with its two sun lounging areas: one next to the helm station and the other midships.
MULTI-PURPOSE SPACES FOR ECLECTIC SPIRITS.
THE OUTDOOR DINING AREA CONVERTS INTO A SPACIOUS LOUNGING PAD. Furniture which transforms to vary your cruise setting constantly. This is the approach adopted by the designers of Azimut 75 for the cockpit. From a sea terrace dining area, complete with table and comfortable sofas, it becomes a spacious sun pad designed to mirror the broad expanse of the horizon. Transformation and design for eclectic spirits who like to personalise their living spaces in constantly changing ways as the day passes.
OPEN SEA OR DRY LAND? ON AZIMUT 75 OPPOSITES UNITE.
It's called Azimut 75. But when you go aboard you'll find that “floating home” comes more naturally. Why? Just make yourselves comfortable in the living area. The finely understated interior design creates an extremely sophisticated environment that draws on the contemporary loft space for its inspiration. A close eye for detail and skilfully contrasting materials convey an especially modern aesthetic: cream coloured natural fabric and black leather for the sofas, wood and crystal for the dinette table and rectangular geometrical inlays for the other furniture. Which is why, when you look through the large windows, you'll be even more surprised to see the sea slip past outside.
The helm station occupies almost the entire width of the yacht, featuring a control panel incorporating touch screen technology. Skilful optimisation of the design also frees up space for a sofa and a large work table. The helm station is separated from the living area by rice paper panels to allow the light to filter freely through.
Your travelling companions on Azimut 75 won't only be your guests, but the sea and light you can always see through the large windows.
The wood and steel galley setting can be fitted with a fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher and a waste disposer. It shares a dual purpose unit with the dining area, providing a graceful and fully appointed bar on the living area side, plus a special cabinet to store various accessories on the kitchen side. Fitted sliding panels can be closed to separate the two areas or opened to exploit the full space.
Comfort and sophisticated design, but first and foremost light. Yes, the distinctive features of the owner's suite are the large windows the sunlight can flood through. They allow more light to pass than the portholes they replace, embellishing each and every corner of the suite. Thanks to these large windows you can enjoy a sea view from the lower deck too. Reclining com- fortably on the bed, for example, or sipping a cup of coffee sitting comfortably in the elegant living area on the starboard side, complete with armchairs and a table.
THE SUN. THE MAIN INTERIOR DESIGNER BEHIND
THE VIP SUITE. The comfort continues in the master bathroom, which is fitted with king size hydromassage shower. A close eye for detail combined with sophisticated materials: fine marble for the basin counter top, prestigious doussié wood for the shower grate and flooring. Masterful design optimisation also frees up space for dressing room in the owner's suite.
Twice the comfort in the twin bed cabin too, with the help of multiple under-bed drawers and a spacious wardrobe. All cabins have their own smart and fully appointed personal bathroom, featuring marble finishings and an impressive range of intelligent storage solutions.
A pile of oily rags were the culprit of a massive commercial structure fire on Lankershim Blvd just before midnight on November 1, 2019. Painting-related chemicals provided for a chemical reaction with the rags they were saturating and produced enough heat for them to spontaneously combust. Firefighters arrived to find fire blowing through the roof of the commercial building. Crews made access to enter the building and began cutting holes in the roof to ventilate the structure. As fire blew out of every hold that was cut, despite their continuous attempts to retreat to a less involved area to continue cutting, the decision was made to pull companies off the roof and out of the structure, and assume a defensive posture. The heavy fire load in the business quickly grew the fire, which spread to two more nearby commercial buildings.
The combined 40,000 square-foot fireball burned for over 3 hours, while 127 firefighters worked the perimeter to "surround and drown" the fire. Firefighters navigated around electrical wires down, and roof and wall collapses during the fight. By nearly 3:00 AM, the flames waved the white flag and gave up, succumbing to the three hour tour of large-diameter hose streams raining down, guided by spotters on the radio with a better vantage point. Ladder pipes, portable monitors, and 2-1/2-inch hand lines were all used in the deluge. The emergency was mitigated, but the work was not done.
Firefighters stayed on scene to overhaul the buildings and the debris pile for days following, while the pile continued to smoke. Plastics and other materials had melted throughout the pile, creating a water-resistant layer that protected hot spots under the surface from hose streams. LAFD tractor companies came out at first light the next morning to turn over the pile. A track loader (Caterpillar 953) and a wheel loader (Caterpillar IT28), driven by LAFD Heavy Equipment Operators, worked for days to continue overhauling the buildings and turn over debris, allowing firefighters to continue to put water on the materials to cool it off. Companies from all over the city rotated shifts during the days after, on "fire watch" to ensure nothing flared up and to continue to apply water while the tractors operated.
Fire investigators from the LAFD Arson/Counter-Terrorism Section obtained video evidence that enabled them to make the determination that the cause was accidental, due to spontaneous combustion. Near the end of the video from an internal surveillance camera, rags with painting-related chemicals on them (left on a bench) can be seen spontaneously combusting due to a chemical reaction. This is a sobering reminder to properly dispose of oily and chemical-soaked rags properly. Fortunately, no one was hurt during this Major Emergency fire.
