"The Chiostro dei Benedettini (Benedictines' cloister) behind the Duomo of Monreale is a masterpiece of 12th century art with Arab-Norman arches borne by 228 twin columns (four on each corner). All columns have carved Romanesque capitals, of which very few are alike. They are the work of five master craftsmen, assisted by several apprentices. Many of the columns are also decorated with Arab style diaper work â decorative treatment of a surface with a repeat pattern of squares (chequers), rectangles, or lozenges; some other columns are adorned with carved reliefs.
The capitals depict biblical scenes and allegories, mythological scenes, quasi-heraldic elements, Arab warriors and Norman knights, as well as fauna and foliage motifs. Even the Classical subjects betray a certain inventiveness: the acanthus leaves of the Corinthian capitals, for example, appear ruffled by the wind."

A zig-zag, double cut string oak stair with a frameless, toughened and laminated glass balustrade.
All the fixings and construction parts have been hidden beneath secret panels to give a clean and uncluttered look.
This is the beginning of a zigzag quilt I started for myself. The zigzags fit just on top of the twin sized bed in my spare bedroom. So now I have to start adding borders to get it up to size. It is made with the set of fat quarters I won from SewMamaSew! earlier this year.
The tutorial for this no-triangles zigzag quilt is here: beesquarefabrics.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-zig-zag...

Just those stairs and escalators in that tunnel were already worth going there, in terms of photography :)
These should be the same stairs like the ones on this picture, just seen from the other end.
This is entrelac using zig-zag shaped units rather than squares.

I had precious little time to take shots at Georgia Tech today, but I got a couple of the amazing Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons. One of the most beautiful and functional academic buildings I've ever seen! More info: clough.gatech.edu/
