(Look for the missing bricks)

Uh Oh!!!! Missing bricks on the building is never a good thing!

While on the topic of temples here is another one that my family has visited on vacation. It is in Kansas City, Missouri called Community of Christ Temple.

On the left is the exterior of the temple and on the right is the interior looking up at the spire.

This summer I was lucky enough to go to Hawaii with one of my friends and her family. We met up with a couple friends from College Station that are originally from Hawaii. They took us through the back roads and showed us some "local" attractions. This is one of them:

It is called a Byodoin Temple.

inspiration

i like the idea that a weight is used to adjust the height of the light.

a couple furniture drawings:)

On the top I have drawn a standing light fixture. It will be made out of medal or wood, it will consist of an illuminated clock on the base and a lampshade with a skeleton of the material used below it with some ride paper to take away direct light. On the bottom page I have a lamp made out of wood. the upper portion of the lamp will be made with wood squares staggered with rice paper to resist any direct light. Below that is a hanging four sided clock illimuniated fixture. This is a medal piece and the light will shine out of the top and bottom along with the numbers that are cut out.

In this sketch i have a standing lamp made out of medal. Some features that I have planned for this are rope lights running through the stand to give it some extra spark, also in the lamp shade square pieces of medal will be cut out and attached by wire. To avoid direct light rice paper will be behind the medal squares to give off the perfect amound of light needed:).

Journal Entry 1 (continued (page 4))

This is on the cover of an Architectural product magazine published in December of 2008. The building is called Lucille Halsell Conservatory and is located in San Antonio, TX. I like the structure of the building and the use of glass along with the illuminating affects.

Journal Entry 1 (continued)

On the left I found some neat finishes found in a magazine called Architectural Products. The top is a back lit frosted glass stair rail and on the bottom is a rotating sprayer used in a shower. On the right, also found in Architectural Products, is a building that uses Solar Gard window film. It blocks out solar heat while allowing in natural light. This helps owners cut down on AC costs, blocks out close to 100% of UV light, and protects the color and quality of interior furnishings all while reducing glare and preserving outdoor views.

Journal Entry 1: GREATTTTTTTTT ARCHITECTURE

The fire station above shows great design and use of materials. I love the contrast of the stone up against the cherry woodstain. The fire station fits great in with it location and gives Texas a great name:)

This fire station was designed by BRW Architects.
