Summary Statement, 4th Quarter, 1863 – Colorado

Summary Statement, 4th Quarter, 1863 – Colorado

Always a bit perplexing the disregard for the lack of alphabetical order among the clerks at the Ordnance Department in 1863. But it is what you make of it. Instead of California following Alabama and Arkansas, it was Connecticut. And next Colorado.

I detailed the story of the Colorado Battery, also known as McLain’s Independent Battery, in the last quarter. Recall the battery was “un…

FC Argeș își asigură calificarea în sferturile Cupei la ultima fază.

FC Argeș a reușit să se califice în sferturile Cupei României, după ce a învins pe Dinamo în optimi, scor 1-2, printr-un gol în minutul 90+3.

Argeșenii au avut prima ocazie de gol în minutul 33 când șutul lui Viana, venit din centrarea lui Dumitrașcu, a fost blocat de Ricardo Grigore. La câteva minute, a venit și cea mai mare ocazie a dinamoviștilor. Moldoveanu nu a reușit să profite de greșeala apărătorilor argeșeni, mingea fiind respinsă de portarul Croitoru până la Torje, care a centrat pentru același Moldoveanu aflat în offside.

Minutul 49 aduce primul gol al partidei. Torje trimite o pasa excelența printre fundașii adverși până la Catalin Țîră, care reușește să marcheze, printr-un șut de la marginea careului.

FC Argeș egalează în minutul 77 prin Ișfan care finalizează un contraatac perfect al oaspeților.

Golul calificării pentru alb-violeți a venit în minutul 90+3 când șutul lui Latovlevici a fost respins de Eșanu, dar Dumitru ajunge la balon și înscrie.

FC Argeș se califică în optimile Cupei României, în timp ce Mircea Rednic mai trebuie să aștepte pentru prima victorie din cel de-al cincilea mandat al său la Dinamo.

Glass tubes and curvy roofs play with light in Steven Holl's Houston arts museum

Translucent glass tubes meet with curvy roofs "imagined from cloud circles" in this art museum US firm Steven Holl designed for Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Steven Holl Architects' Nancy and Rich Kinder Building – which forms part of a major campus redesign – is split into segments topped with curved roofs. This creates gaps for natural light to enter into the galleries inside the 164,000-square-foot (15,200-square-metre) building.

"The Texas sky opens 180-degrees overhead above a luminous canopy covering the new building," said Steven Holl Architects.

"Concave curves, imagined from cloud circles, push down on the roof geometry, allowing natural light to slip in with precise measure and quality, perfect for top-lit galleries."

Transparent glass tubes are used on the western side around an arcade

Tube-like laminated glass covers the exterior to contrast existing buildings on Museum of Fine Arts Houston campus – including an adjacent transparent glass and steel building by Mies van der Rohe, and an opaque stone building by Rafael Moneo.

On the west side of Nancy and Rich Kinder Building transparent glass tubes wrap around an arcade area.

The building is open to views of gardens outside

The transparent cladding, formed of laminated glass tubes with semicircular sections, is suspended from steel supports cantilevered off the concrete walls. Tubes are bolstered together by aluminium clips and rest on a steel shelf at their base.

A small cavity between the glass and the concrete acts as a "cold jacket" for the building so that it doesn't overheat.

Galleries are arranged over two levels. Photo by Richard Barnes

The tubes follow the building's unusual curvy roofline at the top and have different relationships between with ground. For example, some stop above concrete benches while others are open at the bottom so visitors can look all the way up.

According to the firm, the facade features a total of 1,103 pieces of glass in over 450 different sizes.

Curved roof reflects lights inside

Steven Holl said it developed the facade by experimenting in its workshop with 1:1 scale acrylic rods that were cut in half and laminated to acrylic sheets, which it found to create an interesting light play.

Seven gardens are cut into the building's footprint to denote different entry points with the largest located at the Texas city's Bissonnet and Main Street intersection. This also forms principal access to the Museum of Fine Arts' Susan and Fayez S Sarofim Campus.

Inside, the curved underside of the roof acts as a reflector of the natural light into galleries organised over two levels. They have views into various gardens around the building with trellises providing shade from strong sunlight.

"When standing in the new entrance lobby of the Kinder Building, one can see gardens and lush Houston vegetation in four directions and feel the inviting energy of a new sense of openness to the community," said Steven Holl Architects.

The interiors are arranged around a central atrium

The Nancy and Rich Kinder Building is one of two structures that Steven Holl Architects has developed as part of a new masterplan of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (MFAH)'s 14-acre (5.7-hectare) site. The project also involved the replacement of the 35-year-old Glassell School of Art, which was completed in 2018.

The firm beat finalists Morphosis and Snøhetta in an international competition in 2012 for the campus redesign. The firm's scheme, first unveiled in 2015, aimed to add new buildings to offer a "complementary contrast" to structures by Mies van der Rohe and Rafael Moneo.

Windows offer diffuse lighting in bright white galleries

Architect Steven Holl founded his eponymous firm in 1976. Today it has offices in New York and Beijing and is headed up by Holl with partners Chris McVoy, Roberto Bannura and Noah Yaffe.

Its recent projects include the Winter Visual Arts Building in the arboretum of Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and a concrete New York library with "sculpted cuts". The latter was slapped with a lawsuit for inaccessibility issues shortly after its completion last year.

Steven Holl Architects Break Ground on Houston Museum of Fine Arts Extension

Steven Holl Architectshas broken ground on the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building for Modern and Contemporary Art at The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas. Selected through an international competition in 2012 among finalists Snhettaand Morphosis Architects, the winning proposal is a 164,000-square-foot museum buildingthat will be one of the campus's two newest additions. To expand and unite its campus as an integral experience, the Museum is also realizing a new Glassell School of Art also designed by Steven Holl Architects, totaling a 14-acre redesign led by the office.

This is indeed an exciting day! It's my first groundbreaking in 40 years of practice with the first third of the campus design already built up to the second floor - instead of a parking garage, it's a new Glassell School of the Arts beautifully crafted by a great team. They will build the Kinder Pavilion breaking ground today! - Steven Holl.

Permeability is a key strategy surrounding the new museum building, shaped by gardens of horizontal porosity and open on all sides. Seven gardens slice the perimeter of the campus, marking points of entry. The largest central garden court serves as the entry point onto the main campus grounds.

A unique feature of the building's design is its distinctive sliced-canopy roof. Steven Holl Architects describe the roof as concave curves, imagined from cloud circles that push down on the roof geometry, allowing natural light to slip in with precise measure and quality a key feature for its top-lit galleries. The undersides of the ceiling elements also reflect light onto the interior gallery spaces.

A triple-height central forum serves as the program's atrium with vertical circulation to the upper floors. A stepped ramp and elevators link the lobby and gallery levels for direct access to all galleries. Gallery rooms are organized horizontally on two levels, punctuated by views of the seven gardens.

The museum's translucent skin is composed of glass tubes, providing natural light to the galleries and forming a 'cool jacket' around the new building. The transparent skin serves a dual purpose reducing solar gain and creating cooling energy. At night the faade will be lit from the inside, with its glowing walls serving as an open invitation to enter the museum. Steven Holl Architects previously won the Daylight Award in Architecture in 2016for their innovative use of light in designing interior spaces, including their Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas, and the Museum of Ocean and Surf in Biarritz.

In complementary contrast, the new building will provide a strong contribution to the existing unique collection of MFAH architecture Steven Holl Architects.
