Frank Gehry passed away recently & was 96 years old. He left behind innovative buildings that today are symbols of their cities through their combination of art & architecture. Often designed in irregular, fluid shapes that created an expression of movement & dynamism.
An incredible creator.
In the Netherlands, cycling meets art & sustainability in a remarkable way. A glow-in-the-dark bike path inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s painting Starry Night lights up the town of Nuenen, where the artist once lived.
The bike path uses thousands of photoluminescent stones that absorb sunlight during the day & emit a gentle glow at night, creating a swirling pattern reminiscent of Van Gogh’s iconic masterpiece.
The UTS (university of technology) architecture is a sight to behold, with its features that grabs the attention visually.
Contrast & form, transparency & light and expressive geometry – some buildings intended as statements or landmarks with its glass façades, open atria, curved facades etc.
A great experience for anyone that’s interested of architecture & design.
It’s a flowering season in Sydney now, but outside of the season, jacaranda trees tend to lose their leaves (or at least many of them) & can look quite bare. The trees are deciduous in their growth habit, losing their leaves for part of the year. In Sydney in particular, they often turn yellow in winter & lose their leaves in late winter/early spring.
A very busy place & popular among locals – a decent place, especially if you like Shanghainese-style or modern Chinese cuisine. The restaurant offers a really large menu of popular Shanghai style dishes.
