We love Japanese everything! Their calligraphic writing, their pottery, metalwork, even their trading stores. Everything has such a peaceful quality about it.

KidSpace: Church etc.
Who knew that Churches could be spaces that kids find interesting? But we have a pre question: how did so many children find their way to church in the first place? In such an organized manner? And are sitting quietly?
Now while we agree that this is indeed odd, it is also clear that a well designed church (Name one that isnt…) is an architectural beauty to behold. The structure IS the design. No other embellishment required.
But we bet you anything that the kids were watching the stained glass behind the teacher…
Redefining Public space?
Maybe “re-defining” is too strong a term- its raises expectations. One expects a strong, deliberate deviation from the norm. A statement. A space like no other.
No- the example below is not a re-definition of public space. It is perhaps a different expression of it…yes that is the term. EXPRESSION.
A construction zone on a street…expressing itself (courtesy of Le Pain Quotidien) as a public zone.

Interesting detail of floor structure- Place it anywhere and Voila!..instant decking for public space!
LightSpace:Candles
Looking around for the effects of Candles in spaces. After the invention of the lightbulb, candles are mostly frequently used for decorative or aromatic purposes. Unless you are a bar in MePa ofcourse.
Interesting effect of this decorative wall-seems to form a large backdrop to the proceedings without overdoing the whole “so many candles” thing.
Slim pickings
Apple picking on Saturday (with everyone on the East Coast by the looks of it!) hence the silence. Found some nice detail of a water fountain there. And of course apples.
