Arches: The Timeless Marvels of Architecture

An arch, in its most fundamental form, is a simple structure that has stood the test of time. It has both defied and defined our understanding of architecture, standing at the intersection of beauty and strength. These structural forms, traced back to ancient civilizations, continue to marvel us with their timeless appeal and enduring resilience. Britannica An arch is essentially a curved…

NOOOOOOOOO! Why did they buy this gorgeous, 6bd, 4ba, colorful 5,340 sq ft, Hood River, OR home for $1,964,700 and do THIS:

OMG, let's revisit what it USED to look like before these charlatans bought it.

I could cry. It was so delightful.

There was a colorful, bright, dining room.

And, I wonder what they did w/that stove.

The kitchen had aisles of cabinetry with colorful cats capping the ends.

Love this room.

Look at the 2nd fl. addition they did.

Fabulous.

I don't even know if any of these architectural features remain.

Such lovely glass rooms.

So many light, sunny rooms with windows for great views.

Lots of built-in shelving in the large primary bedroom.

The home has shelves galore, which would've been perfect for an avid reader or someone with an extensive collection to display.

There is a real library, too. Look at the stacks.

This looks like a walk-in closet. Very elegant.

Look at the tile in this bath.

All of the bedrooms have windows w/beautiful views.

There was a home gym in the lower level, plus a rec room.

A colorful gazebo stood on the garage roof.

Delightful deck facing the Columbia River.

The evolution- When it was built in 1920, then it was renovated and colorful, and now, the latest reno in dark gray & brown.

Imagine the world if there was a game where you build and lead a tovoxran mining colony on an alien planet, where every game month you must pay an ore/raw material tax (send some amount of refined ore) to the empire or else you get consequences

Thinking about mostly og (non-humanoid) O. architecture. Tho gotabic (and similar) style is even more popular in humanoid O. regions.

In cities, everything is overly big for practicality or the opposite of practicality. The wall is a home for thousands of Ifey while also being a defense structure. While the hub is a home for a single O with no other functions. (well that says more about the society). The trend of making them very tall came from their popular use as beacons.

Cities have a building for almost everything while towns use a building for multiple functions (the simple ifey town house also works as a small water collector and storage.

On average, the bigger the population, the larger everything is.

Radius Project Week 1 18/09/23 - 22/09/23

Here are some photos I have gathered over the week since we started the radius project.

My peer group 36B decided to visit St John's cathedral and we also explored St John's Protestant church and graveyard beside it.

We discussed as a group, from our visits, subjects such as horror, death, spirituality, the circle of life and power. We were all a bit nervous around each other when we first started the project also, but since the week has passed, we have become more comfortable with each other and enjoy discussing our ideas together.

For me as an individual, I have become fascinated with the sharpness and height of the cathedral's spire, and that we were unable to access the inside of the cathedral as the door was locked. The building holds a dominant and toxic masculine feel to it, in my opinion.

I also loved the sound of my shoe breaking the glass I found in the area,the crispness of it.

I am looking forward to investigating my interest in this area more.

can i just say that i really really hope pokemon legends z-a is abt the haussmann renovation of paris? like cleaning up streets filled with muk sludge and cleaning up the five plaza areas of lumiose and creating parks that become just like safari zones and the massive areas in pla but also smaller areas and furfrou run in the streets and as ppl get inspired by the new architecture and stuff and u unlock more customization options! and u fight like a corporatist robert moses type and there’s az/floette references and stuff fkdkdksosod

Rare Six-Planet Star System Discovery is Music to Astronomers’ Ears - Technology Org

A rare star system with six exoplanets has been discovered with an architecture unchanged for billions of years.

The star, HD110067, that is 100 light-years away in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices, has been perplexing researchers for years. Now scientists, including those at the University of Warwick, have revealed the true architecture of this unusual system using NASA and ESA spacecrafts.

The first indication of planets orbiting the strange star system came in 2020, when NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) detected dips in the star’s brightness that suggested planets were passing in between the star and the TESS spacecraft. A preliminary analysis revealed two possible planets. One with a year (or an orbital period – the time it takes to complete one orbit around the star) of 5.64 days and another with an unknown period at the time.

Two years later, TESS observed the same star again. Analysing all data ruled out the original interpretation but presented two additional possible planets, changing the picture of the planetary system completely.

Much was still unknown about the planetary system, and that was when Rafael Luque of the University of Chicago and scientists across the world – including those at the University of Warwick – joined the investigation. They used data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS), hoping to determine the orbital periods of these faraway planets.

The CHEOPS data was key in confirming a third planet in the system and the team had found the key to unlocking the whole system. It was now clear that the three planets were in a pattern of orbits known as an ‘orbital resonance’. For example, an outer planet takes 20.52 days to orbit, which is extremely close to 1.5 times the orbital period of the next planet with 13.67 days. This in turn is almost exactly 1.5 times the orbital period of the inner planet, with 9.11 days.

Thomas Wilson, Department of Physics, University of Warwick, said: “By establishing this pattern of planet orbits, we were able to predict other orbits of planets we hadn’t yet detected. From this we lined up previously unexplained dips in starlight observed by CHEOPS and discovered three additional planets with longer orbits. This was only possible with the crucial CHEOPS data.”

Orbitally resonant systems are extremely important to find because they tell astronomers about the formation and subsequent evolution of the planetary system. Planets around stars tend to form in resonance but can easily have their orbits thrown around.

For example, a very massive planet, a close encounter with a passing star, or a giant impact event can all disrupt the careful balance. As a result, many of the multi-planet systems known to astronomers are not in resonance meaning that multi-planet systems preserving their resonance are rare.

“We think only about one percent of all systems stay in resonance,” explains Rafael Luque. That why HD110067 is special and invites further study. “It shows us the pristine configuration of a planetary system that has survived untouched.”

“As our science team puts it: CHEOPS is making outstanding discoveries sound ordinary. Out of only three known six-planet resonant systems, this is now the second one found by CHEOPS, and in only three years of operations,” says Maximilian Günther, ESA project scientist for CHEOPS.

HD110067 is the brightest known system with four or more planets. Since those planets are all sub-Neptune-sized with likely larger atmospheres, it makes them ideal candidates for studying the composition of their atmospheres using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the ESA’s future Ariel telescope. Whereas ESA’s upcoming PLATO telescope, due to be launched in 2026, within which the University of Warwick is playing a leading role, could find planets in this system with even longer years.

Thomas Wilson added: “All of these planets have large atmospheres – similar to Uranus or Neptune – which makes them perfect for observation with JWST. It would be fascinating to test if these planets are rocky like Earth or Venus but with larger atmospheres – solid surfaces potentially with water. However, they are all much hotter than Earth, 170-530 degrees Celsius, which would make it very difficult for life to exist.”

“A resonant sextuplet of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright star HD 110067” by R. Luque et al. is published in Nature today. DOI 10.1038/s41586-023-06692-3
