Reappearance, South Iceland by lisabettany by lisabettany
And then the crowd parted and one figure remained…
I waited ages, days it felt like, for the crowds of people to leave this extremely popular spot to grab this lone figure agains the epic falls. The weather was just about to turn and moments after I took this shot I had to make a mad dash for shelter as it started to HAIL. Oh Icelandic weather… You can never be too prepared.

From the architect. The new Faculty of Fine Arts is located in a heterogeneous area, adjacent to the island highway and on the periphery of the University Campus.

Our main challenge was to create a link between the new faculty building and its surroundings by working with the open public spaces and to increase the synergies between the academic complex and its urban context.

Plan Level 3

The new building presents itself as an extension of the Campus’s public space, while creating an autonomous interior landscape of its own. A skin of suspended concrete slats adopts a curved shape which develops on the different levels protecting and wrapping the open space of the building.

Campus circulation is collected and guided by a public plaza that extends through the building’s main entrance and is transformed into a spacious terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. From the main entrance, circulation is continuous, following half-open, undulating corridors.

The teaching areas are distributed along a continuous band accompanying the open corridors and dispose of mobile dividing walls that allow for creating classrooms of different sizes or even opening up the whole floor, depending on the needs. Adding to this flexibility in use are multiple spaces like the patio-gardens and open ramps, the covered galleries and the entrance terrace, conceived as open exhibition and teaching areas and places for social exchange.

We like to see the new Faculty of Fine Arts as a building that offers ground-breaking, innovative spaces for experimental and creative education of future students of visual arts.

Rippling Granite by mattademoraes by mattademoraes
My partner and I are both Science nerds. Fact. One of the most amazing things about the universe is interconnectivity. The man standing on the boat is part of a vehicle disturbing the surface of the water. The surface of the water reflects this as a series of waves. In reality, the man on the boat is connected in a small way to every molecule of water in the river as they go downstream. His presence there is felt not just at the surface of the water but throughout the billions of atoms forming the canal. To put it simply- the universe knows we are here, and our impact on this planet is felt. Be that good or bad.
For more of my non-infrared work please search for Matt de Moraes and for more of my partner’s work (which is honestly amazing) search for Nadia Schweimler

Monet’s Kitchen: Blue Rouen Tiles#2 by steve_madden by steve_madden
Another view of the kitchen at Monet’s house in Giverny, this time showing the huge stove that must have kept this kitchen quite cozy when it was fired up!
