Bruder Klaus Field Chapel - Architecture of the World - WikiArquitectura Introduction A small concrete chapel built by local farmers on the edge of a field. Concrete is cast around a group of 120 tree trunks, cut at a local forest, and then slowly burned. The field chapel is dedicated to Swiss Saint Nicholas von der Flue (1417-1487), known as Brother Klaus. Location The small chapel of concrete was built on the edge of a field in Mechernich on the way Rissdorfer Weg, in a low slope of the Eifel (Naturpark Nordeife) Natural Park, 55 km from Cologne in the west of Germany. Concept In order to design buildings with a sensuous connection to life , one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction. Floor On a sunny day, the oculus resembles the eruption of a star, a fact that can be attributed and refer to a vision of Brother Klaus in utero. Design The Bruder Klaus Field Chapel began as a sketch that eventually evolved into a stylish point of reference while essential in the natural landscape of Germany.

Guiry-en-Vexin : le musée archéologique du Val-d’Oise entre dans l’ère numérique Au fond de l’une des salles du musée archéologique, la déesse gauloise Rosemerta veille. À quelques pas de là, le grand public peut désormais déambuler dans « son » temple. Celui dans lequel elle a été découverte, à Genainville. Le musée départemental de Guiry-en-Vexin vient d’installer plusieurs nouveaux outils numériques qui pourraient bien révolutionner notre vision de l’archéologie. Un casque de réalité virtuelle, ou immersif, et une grande tablette tactile viennent moderniser la salle consacrée au site des Vaux-de-la-Celle, sanctuaire gallo-romain dont l’origine remonte au Ier siècle. « Très peu de musées sont équipés de ces nouveaux dispositifs », se félicite Marie Legrand, chargée de communication du musée. « La restitution 3D existait, c’était dommage de ne pas la montrer. » L’association étudiante val-d’Oisienne d’archéologie (AEVA), qui continue les fouilles chaque été, avait en effet modélisé une partie du site, avec la société Herdanza. Un autre des trésors de Genainville.
PICTOMAT – Passport photos like those days in the photo booth. Diccionario Filosófico de José Ferrater Mora (4 TOMOS en un solo Archivo) para descargar en PDF - Laberintos del Tiempo Hoy en Laberintos del Tiempo, les traigo el Diccionario Filosófico de José Ferrater Mora. La Obra consta de 4 Tomos (más de 2000 páginas) pero aquí la pueden conseguir completa en un sólo archivo. La misma, por ser extensa, pesa 100 megas, por lo que deben tener paciencia a la hora de descargarla. Pero les aseguro, a los amantes de la Filosofía, que vale la pena!. Ferrater Mora trata de integrar sistemas opuestos de ideas pero no de un modo acrítico. Así, la entrada del diccionario dedicada a sí mismo solamente remite a otros artículos, entre los que están empirismo, individuo, integracionismo, sentido, o filosofía analítica. Aquí les dejo el link para descargarla: Saludos desde Venezuela! #laberintosdeltiempo

Patiently Arranged Dandelion Works by Botanical Artist Duy Anh Nhan Duc All images via Duy Anh Nhan Duc Self-taught botanical artist Duy Anh Nhan Duc uses a steady hand to arrange dandelion blossoms in artful imitations of their flight through the air. His monochrome works are each reminiscent of a universal childhood urge to scatter a dandelion’s seedlings with a single blow, eager to watch the feathery pieces take flight in the wind. With this in mind he carefully dissects a dandelion’s fluff, placing the individual seeds in concentric patterns. In many works gold leaf is used to single out some of the miniature components, adding another layer of precision to his patiently executed fields of flora. His solo exhibition, The Imaginary Herbarium, is currently on view at Galerie Bettina in Paris through February 15, 2017.
The Conversation Prism – (Brian Solis + JESS3) ECAI - Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative Understanding Camera Lenses Understanding camera lenses can help add more creative control to digital photography. Choosing the right lens for the task can become a complex trade-off between cost, size, weight, lens speed and image quality. This tutorial aims to improve understanding by providing an introductory overview of concepts relating to image quality, focal length, perspective, prime vs. zoom lenses and aperture or f-number. All but the simplest cameras contain lenses which are actually comprised of several "lens elements." Each of these elements directs the path of light rays to recreate the image as accurately as possible on the digital sensor. Optical aberrations occur when points in the image do not translate back onto single points after passing through the lens — causing image blurring, reduced contrast or misalignment of colors (chromatic aberration). Original Image Any of the above problems is present to some degree with any lens. *Note: Lens focal lengths are for 35 mm equivalent cameras.
