I.M. Pei’s Miho Museum, on a mountain ridge in a nature preserve in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, an hour’s drive from Kyoto. The Miho Museum houses Mihoko Koyama’s private collection of Asian and Western antiques belonging to Mihoko Koyama (after whom it is named), the heiress to the Toyobo textile business, and one of the richest women in Japan. This photo shows the tunnel leading into the museum that cuts through the mountain. It`s a 200-metre curve, silent and echoless, and ends with the cables of a half suspension bridge 120 meters across a deep, narrow gorge. Its a stunning museum. If you`re ever in Japan, please check out this hidden gem. !

“In 1983 i.m.pei was offered the ‘grand Louvre’ project by the / French government. / ‘one of my conditions prior to accepting the commission… / was to see if there was something I could do… / the Louvre was built in parts successively since the 12th century, / first as a donjon, then as a palace… / the problem was how to make (it) into a modern museum. / the Louvre had lots of exhibition space… / but was totally lacking in infrastructure… / after three secret ‘private’ visits…I said to myself, / ‘yes, I am going to try.’ Besides creating two large glass covered courtyards to house / sculptures, pei’s design also included the excavation of two / other courtyards in order to create storage and infrastructure / space. / pei’s pyramid design was very controversial and ‘maybe 90% / of the people of Paris were opposed to it at the beginning’, / although now almost everyone loves it. / in fact it is considered one of the landmarks of Paris, / together with the Eiffel tower. “The glass pyramid is a symbol that defines the entry to the / Louvre. it is placed precisely at the center of gravity of the / three pavilions…it assumes the function of a symbolic entry to a huge / complex of meandering interconnected buildings / which had no center.” But why a pyramid? why not a cylinder or a cone? / “Formally, it is the most compatible with the architecture of the Louvre… / it is also one of the most structurally stable of forms, / which assures its transparency… / as it is constructed of glass and steel, / it signifies a break with the architectural traditions of the past. / it is a work of our time.” (from the book “conversations with i.m. pei”) Camera Specs: Nikon D 50.

No, your eyes are not playing tricks, how the heck this old place was still standing, I don’t know. / Taken on PEI. If anyone does have anymore info on this place, I would love to hear about it. These old houses are subject to some harsh conditions in the maritimes and if they get the least bit neglected they fade away. First the paint starts to peel, then it’s only a matter of time before the winters, winds and rains wear them down to the ground. There’s always something about an abandoned house that’s intriguing. They stand helpless to the elements while hopelessly guarding all their stories inside.

About the design: “When you do a city hall, it has to convey an image of the people, and this had to represent the people of Dallas… The people I met – rich and poor, powerful and not so powerful – were all very proud of their city. They felt that Dallas was the greatest city there was, and I could not disappoint them.” – I.M. Pei I.M. Pei’s modernist inverted pyramid design is a result from space requirements of city government. Public areas and citizen services required much less space than offices that ran the government; cantilevered building levels allowed for the upper levels to house the offices. The building slopes at a 34-degree angle, with each of the seven above-grade floors being 9½ feet wider than the one below. This inclined façade interacts with the buildings it faces downtown and provides protection from the weather and Texas sun. The foundation and basement levels are considerably wider than the apparent footprint of the structure, extending out beneath the inclined facade. The cantilevered roof is 200 feet (61 meters) wide, the ground floor is 126 feet (38.4 meters) wide, and the basement 230 feet (70.1 meters) wide.[6] When Mayor Jonsson reacted to the apparent top-heaviness of the building’s shape, three cylindrical pillars that appear the hold up the structure were created.These contain stairwells that had originally been concealed within the design. These pillars only provide visual support and do not bear the load of the building. Pei also persuaded the city to acquire an additional six acres in front of the building as a plaza and buffer zone for his grand public structure. A 1,325-car parking garage was built beneath the plaza, and the extra income helped supplement the funding of the building. A buff-colored concrete was chosen for the main building material; its color resembled local earth tones. Since concrete was both the primary structural and finish material, close attention was paid to every aspect of its mix and placement. Dallas City Hall appears in the movie RoboCop serving as Omni Consumer Products headquarters. Matte painting is used in the movie in order to give the appearance of a much taller building. Appears in Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Lathe of Heaven”. Dallas City Hall makes multiple appearances during the four seasons of the television series Lois and Clark as “Star Labs” from the comic book series Superman. from Wikipedia Camera info / Canon EOS Rebel T1i / Tamron 18-275mm lens / F-stop f/3.5 / Exposure 2 secs / ISO 100 / Focus 18mm HDR data / tripod, 3 RAW images +2 to -2, Photomatrix Pro 3.2
