Firenze98

a vibrant city cocktail

quote author=the pope link=topic=1906.msg287026#msg287026 date=1211250496] funny, I thought It was some shorthand for chardon.... I think the same thing. mine is from when I studied Architecture...err Architorture occasionally.. while in Florence, Italy in 1998

I'd be interested. Since many of us don't know what we all look like...maybe someone stands near the group with a sign and the letters UO...kinda of like a limo driver at an airport.

I always forget about that opening...damn! One day i'll see it in person. Nice pics!

I like the concept...hate the building. I know it's only a preliminary design/rendering so no need to remind me about that. My opinion based on this is that it looks like something you'd see at Universal Studios Orlando....blah.

I wish I could have seen the M & W beach volleyball games live. Heck even table tennis. I always wanted to watch the Chinese take on Forest Gump but it's always on during the workday.

Amish G's! Living in an Amish paradise.. que Weird Al

I've also been riding my bike in Middlefield (Middlefinger) Amish country before, heard a loud boom box radio blasting thinking a car was coming, only to see two young kids bouncing in a buggy to Tupac rap.

last guess for today.. Tallinn?

Helsinki?

How about a "which continent" hint.

Wild guess...Livorno, Italy?

When you wave a car in to the street from say a gas station, store etc. and they don't give you a wave of thanks.

I agree about Fallingwater as I took several interior and exterior pics when I visited.

Yep, interior is MUCH cooler and exterior is ok. Unfortunately, they make you check your cameras at the door so I couldn't get interior pics.

I visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob, a Usonian home built for I.N. Hagan in the late 50's. The house is just down the road from Fallingwater. The entire house plan and details are based on a hexagon. Frank actually never visited the site before designing the house since he was rather busy at the time. The house sits on 79 acres of land with breathtaking mountain vistas, which the Hagan's paid $9000 for. Some bird mansions Carport, entry area portions of the wood cutouts have screens on the inside and open to allow for cross ventilation The back terrace with hexagon skylight openings in the overhanging roof Mrs. Hagan insisted that the dining area be enlarged. So it was extended out onto the terrace space and enclosed. Back patio backside of house This was the view from the back terrace before 50 years of tree growth totally blocked it.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum's Center for Creative Arts is coming along nicely. :-)

She's putting up a fight but not much longer.

Rob, Love the photothread on the old steam engines/heavy machinery! Priceless

Riiiiggghhht. Anywho

Overhang detail of Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob house near Mill Run, PA... just down the road from Falling Water.

That and all the old mega-mansions on Millionaires Row. :oops: :cry:

That reminds me of that hotel commercial where the couple is staying at a place with jackhammering going on. "It's going to be great"

Nice! I definitely need to visit that city at some point.
