An installation that consists of three wavy walls made from 1.4 million-square-feet of nautical rope. A rope that has been first dyed with 3,000 gallons of red, yellow, and blue paint.

On view in Madison Square Park, the monumental commission was created as a public sculpture. The material used to build the work of art was a repurposed rope collected from hundreds of miles up and down the Eastern seaboard, bringing elements of the coastline to the city. The work is exhibited until September 8, 2013 and anyone can have a look at it.

In recent years, the Kamchatka glaciers have been melting. Which has made the roof of this cave so thin that sunlight penetrates through it, illuminating the inside structures.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is located in the far east of Russia. The region is home to tremendous natural beauties. Among them: the volcanoes, the lakes, the untamed rivers and the breathtaking coastline.

There are three levels of classrooms and the top two contain a series of windows that look into the central courtyard space. On the top, there’s an access to the rooftop garden where smaller structures serve as open-air playgrounds. On the bottom level, there’s a covered series of atria that define a large arena-like multifunctional assembly area.

The skylights that protrude into the exterior courtyard are brought there via the underground square that also bring a consequent amount of natural daylight. Each pupil has a right to views, fresh air, and access to open spaces, one of the major reason why this project appeals to adults and kids alike.

The extraordinary geology at White Pocket is not easily explained. Some geologists say that White Pocket is a result of “soft sediment deformation”, a process that started in Jurassic time while the sand was saturated and before it was turned into rock.

Still a year ago, White Pocket was relatively obscure, known only by local ranchers and a few photographers. That was before National Geographic published a story on the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, which included some excellent photos of White Pocket. Since then, there has been a surge of activity at White Pocket, the place being now the place to be for every hiker and outdoor enthusiast.

Usually, the legs ofsuch constructions are transported on their side and then – supported by flotation devices – are dropped into place. But in this case, however, the whole platform was assembled in one location, towed over 200 kilometers from Vats, in the northern part of Rogaland, to the Troll field, 80 kilometers north-west of Bergen. The whole process took seven days.

The platform stands on the sea floor 303 meters below the surface of the sea and one of the concrete cylindrical legs has an elevator that takes over nine minutes to travel from above the waves to the sea floor. The walls of Troll A’s legs are over 1 meter thick and are made of steel reinforced concrete.

In 1996 the platform won the Guinness World Record for ‘largest offshore gas platform’. The title now belongs to the Petronius Platform in the Gulf of Mexico which stands 2,000 feet (610 m) above the ocean floor.
