the frame above

My blog header has been a place for random images - there is randomness in the way I select the images to put on my blog - but a common theme that came to me when I posted this one - each image is associated with a travel memory... and most likely an image that only my travel partner  and I can tell where it came from...
so this one above... Kolhapur, India - Rankala Lake


the one prior to this (a sweet tooth) - with the hot chocolate - no guesses... Brussels, Belgium!


and the one prior to that (unfocused) - a forest of silver winter Aspen trees - from Aspen, Colorado!

Ring Roads of the world - poster

came across this poster through the Archinect website - for those familar with houston - sprawling cities and urbanization might find this poster very compelling like i did



Ring Roads of the World 

Rice School of Architecture, 2009
22 by 32 inches
Production by CPY, Houston
This poster is designed as a sort of calling card for Rice School of Architecture, located in Houston. We collected ring roads from 27 international cities and layered them all at the same scale. As it turned out, Houston has the largest system of those we surveyed. (Beijing was second)
1/4

Here is where I came across it - could associate with the description and thought was a great representation of an idea!
