The Harbor structure is the longest structure on the project. Its girders, made of recycled steel, were fabricated in Tigard, Oregon.
The structure is designed to carry light rail trains and buses between downtown Portland and South Waterfront. The structure travels above and below several roadways, meaning traffic will not need to stop as transit passes.

PACOIMA - It took 24 firefighters 19 minutes to extinguish the fully-involved single-family home at the 10300 block of North Rincon Avenue on September 28,2022, despite live wires down and a roof collapse at the site of a previous burn. Firefighters successfully defended the neighboring structures. Primary and secondary searches of the structure were clear (no patients found). No reported injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

As part of my project for my photography course at college, I had to look for natural structures as well as man-made and decided to photograph the veins of a leaf to illustrate simple structure found within nature.

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.

Title: Villa la Foce: garden structure
Other title: Villa La Foce (Chiusi, Italy)
Creator: Pinsent, Cecil, 1884-1963
Creator role: Architect
Date: 15th century; 1924-1939
Current location: Chiusi, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Description of work: The Villa la Foce and farm sit in the clay hills of southern Tuscany overlooking the Val d'Orcia. The Villa itself was built in the 15th century as a hostel to house pilgrims and merchants traveling the via Francigena. There are numerous buildings on the 3, 500 acre property including a castle, church, school house, clinic and several farmhouses. Antonio Origo and his wife Iris Origo purchased the property in 1924 and employed Cecil Pinsent to remodel and rebuild the Villa and gardens. Pinsent designed the gardens in a Renaissance style using a structure of simple, elegant, box-edged beds and green enclosures that give shape to the Origos' shrubs, perennials and vines, and created a garden of soaring cypress walks, native cyclamen, lawns and wildflower meadows. The property is currently maintain by the Origo sisters and can be rented out for parties, events and vacations.
Description of view: The top of the Travertine grotto in the lower garden. The steps on either side lead from the upper to lower garden.

The Postcard
A postally unused Bridge House Series postcard. The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card has a divided back, on which is printed:
"This imposing structure of
early Byzantine style, designed
by J. F. Bentley, was opened for
use in 1903.
The foundation stone was laid
by Cardinal Vaughan in 1895.
St. Edward's Tower, clearly
shown in the picture, is 273
feet high."
Westminster Cathedral
Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. It is the largest Catholic church in the UK, and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster.
The site on which the cathedral stands in the City of Westminster was purchased by the Diocese of Westminster in 1885.
Designed by John Francis Bentley in neo-Byzantine style, and accordingly made almost entirely of brick, without steel reinforcements, Sir John Betjeman called it:
"A masterpiece in striped brick and
stone that shows the good craftsman
has no need of steel or concrete."
The Cathedral Mosaics
One of the first public liturgies to be celebrated in the cathedral was Cardinal Vaughan's requiem mass; the cardinal died on the 19th. June 1903. For reasons of economy, the decoration of the interior had hardly been started, and still much remained to be completed.
Under the laws of the Catholic Church at the time, no place of worship could be consecrated unless free from debt and having its fabric completed.
The consecration ceremony took place on the 28th. June 1910, although the interior was never finished.
When the cathedral's architect John Bentley died in 1902, there were no completed mosaics in the cathedral, and Bentley had left behind precious little in terms of sketches and designs.
Consequently, the subject and styles of the mosaics were influenced by donors as well as designers, overseen by a cathedral committee established for this purpose. Indeed, Bentley's influence is only seen in the chapel dedicated to the Holy Souls.
Due to the absence of any designs by Bentley, there was no agreement as to how the mosaics should look, and in one instance, works already installed (in the Sacred Heart shrine) were removed after the death of the artist, George Bridge.
Mosaics installed during the period 1912–1916 were mostly done by devotees of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Those in the Lady Chapel were installed by Gertrude Martin (who had worked with George Bridge), in 1912–1913.
The work was supervised by Anning Bell and Marshall, who later designed the mosaic of Christ enthroned which is above the entrance to the cathedral.
The Tympanum of the portal shows in a Byzantine mosaic technique from left to right the kneeling St. Peter with the Keys of Heaven, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ as Pantocrator on the throne, St. Joseph, the Nursing Father of Jesus with a lily in his right hand, and in a kneeling position the canonized English King Edward the Confessor in royal regalia.
As Jesus Christ blesses the viewer with his right hand, he holds in his left hand the Book of Life. The Latin inscription of the opened book pages reads: Ego sum ostium per me si quis introierit salvabitur (I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved; Gospel of John 10,9).
The mosaics in the chapel dedicated to Saint Andrew, paid for by The 4th. Marquess of Bute, are also in the style of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
1930 to 1935 saw a tremendous amount of work done, with mosaics placed in the Lady Chapel, in the alcoves above the confessionals, in the crypt dedicated to Saint Peter, and on the sanctuary arch.
No new mosaics were then installed until 1950, when one depicting St. Thérèse of Lisieux was placed in the south transept. Another, in 1952, in memory of those in the Royal Army Medical Corps who died in World War II, was added to the chapel of Saint George.
From 1960 to 1962, the Blessed Sacrament Chapel was decorated in a traditional, early Christian style, with the mosaics being predominantly pale pink in order to afford a sense of light and space.
The designer, Boris Anrep, chose various Eucharistic themes such as the sacrifice of Abel, the hospitality of Abraham and the gathering of the manna in the wilderness, as well as the Feeding the multitude and the Wedding Feast at Cana.
In his old age, Anrep also acted as adviser and principal sketch artist for the mosaics installed in the chapel of Saint Paul (1964–1965). These mosaics depict various moments in the life of Paul; his occupation as a tent-maker, his conversion to Christ, the shipwreck on Malta and his eventual execution in Rome.
It was not until the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1982 that the next mosaic was installed. Rather than a scene, the mosaic above the north-west entrance is an inscription:
'Porta sis ostium pacificum par eum
qui se ostium appellavit, Jesus Christum'
(Translated as 'May this door be the gate of peace through Him who called Himself the gate, Jesus Christ').
In 1999, a mosaic of Saint Patrick, holding a shamrock and a pastoral staff as well as trampling on a snake, was installed at the entrance to the chapel in his honour.
In 2001, a mosaic of Saint Alban, strongly influenced by the style of early Byzantine iconography, was installed by the designer, Christopher Hobbs. Due to the very favourable reception of the work, Hobbs was commissioned for further mosaics: the chapel to Saint Joseph which contains mosaics of the Holy Family (2003) and men working on Westminster Cathedral (2006).
Hobbs also worked on the chapel in honour of Saint Thomas Becket illustrating the saint standing in front of the old Canterbury Cathedral on the chapel's east wall and the murder of Thomas on the west wall.
The vault is decorated with a design of flowers, tendrils and roundels. As of 2011, there were plans for further mosaics, for example, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Anthony in the narthex.

Structure 149 of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway is the Cargill Viaduct (sometimes referred to as the Ballathie Viaduct) and it's the defining feature of the line. Although that's not a difficult claim to have as this line passed through quite sedate terrain, making this the only larger structure along the route.
The former Scottish Midland Junction Railway ran between Perth and Forfar and the mainline itself continued on to Kinnaber Junction, just north of Montrose, forming a fast, alternative route that cut out Dundee, Arbroath and Montrose. Ultimately, it was missing out these major settlements that eventually led to the line's demise.
Among many silly 'funny' effects in this app, I found this quite usable.
Pho.to Lab is the first 'cloud' app I'm trying - nothing is processed on the phone, everything is sent to a server and returned ready. The downside is, they keep filesizes (i.e. resolutions) smaller, and despite that - even with 3G and HSDPA it's a bit slow(ish). (But with WiFi it's fast like a local app).
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
Ambient Occlusion test using the new internal Structure Synth raytracer. (Rendering time: 68s)
I've started working on a simple built-in raytracer in Structure Synth, both for providing fast previews in the GUI, and for people who are intimidated by the somewhat complex template export.
So far it is pretty standard stuff: a single-threaded, Phong shaded based raytracer which uses the Fast Voxel Traversel method to accelerate ray-primitive intersection tests. As of now it supports reflections, transparency, shadows (the hard and ugly type), and adaptive anti-alias. I've also implemented a simple Ambient Occlusion scheme.
