Zonotopia and the Quasicrystalline Conjunction The Zonotopia Crew 2013 It is with great pleasure and no small amount of surprise that I report a triumphant return from Black Rock City, Nevada - Burning Man 2013 - Cargo Cult, being our fifth consecutive year of building Zonotopia, a manifestation of Zonohedral Art and Architecture on the playa. As anyone who has built large Art at Burning Man would agree doing it well and doing it right is no small feat. This year our production schedule was compressed to a point in which it was at a late date questionable as to whether anything resembling our original proposal was at all feasible. The causes of this effect were plenty and while largely external ultimately rest upon the shoulders of the Artist - yours truly, who must channel the energies of people, self, resources and time in order to produce a viable product at the appointed hour. I fault no one who lost faith as the calendar days marched forward and the beginning of physical production was postponed again and again all while months dwindled into weeks and weeks into days. A 5" tall 3-D print of the final design. This model proved to be a valuable reference on the playa.Production began 26 days prior to departure. The three spiralohedral chambers were reduced to two. The mid-level deck which was to be 12' off the ground was brought down to playa level. A skewed rhombic box. All new construction systems were required to accomplish the spiralohedral design. This year instead of the rhombic panels being cut directly from sheet goods they were each individually constructed as a skewed hexahedral box. While more labor is required up front each panel is now stronger and lighter than it's single layer counterpart. In conjunction with CNC cutting, skilled table saw work was required to realized these components. A hexahedral box with decorative panel, triangular vertical members and base skirt parts meeting for the first time. Awesome placement After a 24 hour delay leaving San Francisco, followed by car troubles during our journey across the mountains to reach the desert we finally landed at our designated spot in Black Rock City and started building on the morning of Friday, August 23, 2013. The beginning of our zonohedral floor For years now I've wanted to tile a Zome floor with rhombs which are the orthogonal projection of the panels above. The 6 panels in the Quasicrystalline Conjunction Zome map to only 3 panels tiling the floor and each is a direct overhead projection of a panel above. Floor and base skirt in place. Once the floor tiles were all in place a spontaneous game of Zome Twister broke out. Floor, skirt and base parts laid out. Zonotopian Nettie putting the first panel in place. And only 119 left to go. The two DayStar Zomes are built nearby. The assembly moves quickly and we are overhead in no time. And the DayStars are done. Reaching the tops of the first chamber. Sunset on Friday our first build day. Taking a break for dinner. Both chambers will be finished before the end of the workday. Morning of Day Two. The Chambers are complete. Now to connect them and head for the sky. Vertical panels with beveled support beams are installed. Pro-Tip: To look important at a job site, point at things. Chris and Miloh wearing sensible headgear. Master Zome Builder Megan Stevens. Installing ground anchors. Piece by piece and part by part the Quasicrystalline Zome rises. Zonotopians Steph and Val hand cutting translucent panels for our lighting effects. Zonotopians Patricia Humming Bee and Ana prepare lunch. A welcome break with good food and good friends. Val became quite adept at the pneumatic stapler. We worked past midnight Saturday night until 3am Sunday morning. Finally all of the vertical walls were complete. At the beginning of the Day Sunday only the spirallohedral top remains. Sunday and the home stretch. Rob and Megan Around and around, like clock-work. Twelve panels per ring except for the top in which there are six. The Zonotopia job site early Sunday afternoon. I take a break in the muggy heat of the day. Little Birdy installs the LED strips which will bring the panels to life at night. Hoodie and I look towards our Ultimate Destination. More pointing at things. Zonotopians Garrett and Chris wiring our lighting effects. Final painting is happening. Patricia Humming Bee and Chris K. Palmer's art sculpture, The Zomphalo is prepared for installation. Inside each of the three chambers of the Zomphalo are 3-D printed organic, hive-like structures which will be lit from within. You can also see real bees trapped in amber jewels surrounding the honeycomb portals. The excitement is growing as everyone is in the zone, working hard to make great progress during our final hours before Burning Man starts. At last only 2 rows and 18 panels to go. The scissor lift won't fit and assembly is designed to happen from the inside. The solution is going to have to be a ladder ratchet strapped atop braced scaffolding. Near sunset I check the ease of exterior climb-ability before the translucent windows were inserted. And meanwhile, across the playa The original Zonotopia Zome is assembled for the 10th time as an Esplanade Art Piece holding court for our good friends at Bubbles and Bass. In the darkness, laptop aglow, Miloh hacks into the twelfth dimension and brings the Three Hearts of the Zomphalo to life. Darkness fell quickly as Hoodie and I began the final push. There is no small amount of anxiety as I went up. It was undeniably precarious, yet I felt solid 100% of the time and never had even a single bobble. I'm pretty happy about those 10 years of hard Trad climbing in Yosemite I have under my belt. Around and around and panel by panel the opening closed above me. For two and one half hours I didn't come down. I was starting to get tired but in my hands was the Last Panel at last. Near the end it was eerily quiet and I looked down to see an audience of over 30 people all sitting and laying back watching my high wire circus act. And I popped it in. All things considered everything lined up very well. Nevertheless it took every trick up my sleeve to get the last edges to line up perfectly along with all the patience, perseverance, tenacity and stamina I had in me. And at midnight Sunday we are done! This is to my knowledge the first Spirallohedral pavilion ever constructed. The Zomphalo, Sacred Altar for the Bees is installed adding a beautiful ambient buzzing and music to the space. The Zomphalo illustrates the connection between the organic, living world of food and it's interdependence and inter-connectivity along with the crystalline and geometric aspects of nature; for bee honey comb cells are in fact Zomes. And at 12:30am Monday morning we greet the first of thousands of beautiful guests. Zonotopia and the Quasicrystalline Conjunction is officially open! Let the week of magic begin! There's much, much more to be said and shown and many expressions of gratitude and credit to be written. Coming here within another day to two - rb zome mani padme zome -Rob Bell

Ours Samplus # 40 - Kargo Indicação do meu marido, Sérgio. Que seu fim de semana seja leve, e em boa companhia, nem que a seja na de você mesmo. Via Pinterest loft decorado pela house doctor House Doctor é uma marca dinamarquesa de produtos para casa com estética escandinava, com design que prima pelo equilíbrio, simplicidade e autenticidade. A grife apresentou sua nova coleção em neste loft de estilo industrial com grandes janelas, paredes de tijolos aparentes e painéis de vidro, para deixar os espaços no clima nova-iorquino. Via The Nord Room e Decordemon a elegância do inverno Lembrando o que li e sobre o que falei por aqui no post de ontem, se alguém tem dúvida da afirmação de que o inverno é muito mais elegante que o verão, que confira com atenção a seleção de casacos e looks quentinhos para enfrentar o frio da estação e depois me diga - ainda restou dúvida? Via Pinterest e Vogue califórnia Aqui os arquitetos integraram com muita harmonia a villa à paisagem local: não ultrapassando a altura das árvores, a fachada conta com pedra e tons naturais, que fazem com que a casa pareça se fundir com as cores da vegetação. Além disso, quase todos os ambientes têm enormes janelas de vidro, que praticamente confundem a linha entre os ambientes internos e externos. Mas o que mais chama a atenção é a vista incomparável do Desfiladeiro Romero. Via Pufik ponha-se da porta para fora Nos fins de semana desconecte-se - sem celular, redes sociais e telejornais - agradeça pela vida e cerque-se daqueles que fazem seu cálice transbordar. Se tiver um jardim ou sacada, exercite o relaxamento, sinta a paz que exala da natureza. Via Hola loft em barcelona Este minúsculo loft perto de Barcelona lembra a decoração costeira no sul da França. Os designers conseguiram transformar um apartamento antigo e sem graça em um loft romântico e aconchegante. Via Decordemon espanha Ambientes simples e informais em cores claras, decorados com peças em materiais naturais são preferência entre os espanhóis. Os donos deste apartamento realçaram o off-white e a madeira com pistache, verde e mostarda, e em vez de quadros e posters nas paredes da sala, optaram por estantes, onde dispuseram sua coleção de objetos de junco, cerâmicas e plantas. Via Pufik campestre Já deixei minha opinião sobre o assunto aqui, mas tenho que repetir: casas de campo devem respeitar o entorno, não deveria ser permitida a total falta de visão ao se levar o clima urbano para casas que devem ser pensadas como refúgios, espaços feitos para relaxar, para absorver a energia que vem da natureza. Ok, você é contemporâneo, não gosta de peças com história, tudo deve ser "novo em folha"? Nesse caso abuse da madeira, do couro, de peças feitas à mão, cerâmica, pedra, lã e ferro, e terá uma casa em harmonia com o ambiente em que foi construída. Inspire-se! Via Hola e Pinterest nashville Três anos atrás, a modelo nascida no Colorado Taylor Hill estava pensando em comprar seu primeiro apartamento em Manhattan. Então, uma visita a Nashville mudou tudo. Hoje, a casa de Hill fica em um terreno exuberante e arborizado, com bosques de bambu protegendo a casa do movimento do bairro. Com uma enorme área externa e uma piscina à sombra, é um oásis naquela que se tornou uma das cidades de crescimento mais rápido dos Estados Unidos. Internamente, a casa tem uma atmosfera acolhedora de montanha que lembra a arquitetura das Montanhas Rochosas, onde a modelo nasceu. Via AD piso laminado na cozinha Independentemente da cozinha estar integrada com a sala ou não, é interessante utilizar o mesmo piso para os dois ambientes, embora seja muito comum o uso de pisos diferentes. Com isso se obterá uma melhor integração e fará com que sua casa pareça maior. Pisos laminados ou vinílicos são perfeitos, sua manutenção é fácil e prática além de aquecerem visualmente o espaço. Use sem receio. Via Hola ontário Com um pé direito que chega a seis metros de altura, esta casa toda em pedra e madeira perto do Lago Muskoka, em Ontário, no Canadá, foi inspirada na natureza à sua volta. A cor cinzenta da fachada mimetiza as muitas rochas que a rodeiam. Os proprietários foram atraídos pela vista deslumbrante e contrataram Sascha LaFleur, cofundadora e principal designer da West of Main, com sede em Ottawa, para decorar a casa. Ao decorar em tons claros e naturais, usando texturas e tapetes persas, Sascha conseguiu transformar os espaços. O estilo elegante do mobiliário e da decoração conferem a esta casa à beira do lago um espírito atemporal e acolhedor. Via Planete Déco janelas As portas podem estar fechadas, mas janelas integram os espaços com a área externa, permitindo que o melhor do entorno faça parte dos ambientes. Ao projetar sua casa, estude o terreno e tenha em mente o que quer manter à vista, converse com o arquiteto e direcione para lá suas janelas. Fica a dica. Via Pinterest shelter island A casa como cartão de visita é uma metáfora bem usada quando se fala das casas de designers de interiores. Mas conforme o sócio da firma Haynes Roberts, Esteban Arboleda em Shelter Island, em Nova York, sua casa definitivamente não é um laboratório, ele a considera um reflexo da sua personalidade, dos seus interesses pessoais, não apenas um showroom para expor suas habilidades profissionais. Depois de comprar a propriedade, ele e seu marido, David Haskell, editor-chefe da New York Magazine e um famoso artista de cerâmica, fizeram questão de preservar as paredes de madeira, pisos e vigas da casa. O casal teve o cuidado especial de manter o espírito desgastado pelo tempo usando uma tintura suave com infusão de alvejante para remover qualquer sujeira. Confira.
