Beautiful Architectural Exhibit

Love this colored pencil art installation by the
University of Minnesota School of Architecture.
The life-size exhibit represents the historical
moments of the school during their 100-year history.
The curvy installation is made up of 100 robotically-routed
plywood ribs that are joined together with 8,080 colored #2 pencils.
Clever, creative and unique.

Beautiful Arches

Took an afternoon to see Gravity today
at the IMAX and couldn’t resist the scenery.
Movie was  technically+visually spectacular
but I enjoyed  photographing the arches
just as well.

Beautiful Sculpture

Ai Weiwei, one of China’s foremost contemporary artists, has
taken his beautiful Forever Bicycles sculpture to Toronto.
Featuring 3,144 bicycles, the colossal structure is stunning.
Displayed in a night-time festival, it is spectacularly lit up
with pink and blue lights looking as if they are floating.
What a delight.

Beautiful Sculpture

Wandering leads to all things beautiful.
Sonic Bloom is an LED sculpture at the entry
to the Seattle Pacific Science Center with a chorus of
color and sound. Interactive, movement
triggers the flowers to light up.  See it here.
