A 9/11 Tribute in Light

Tweet

Last weekend, the night sky was illuminated in New York by two twin beams of light shining upward from Lower Manhattan.

The 9/11 “Tribute in Light” memorial is in its ninth year.  The rays, which are made up of more than 40 xenon light bulbs, are the strongest shafts of light ever projected from Earth into the night sky.  Each year, they evoke the shape of the Twin Towers beginning at dusk on September 11 and fading with the dawn on September 12.  Each year, they honor the victims of the terrorist attacks of 2001 and illuminate the sky as a silent, symbolic tribute.

The Municipal Art Society sponsors the display each year.  For more information, see the New York Times article.

Swedish Town House

You don’t always have to own a big house to create a spacious feeling. It is always fascinating to see how architects are able to create something really cool with limited space. Just like designers, they are also problem solvers and have to work within boundaries. The house in this post is built on a 75 square meter small site.

Swedish Town House by Elding Oscarson

A 75 meter small site isn’t a lot to play with, and the site is narrow too. Swedish architect firm Elding Oscarson solved these problems beautifully. This town house is found in Landskrona, Sweden. I love the layering of modern and traditional architecture. The new house respects the old by not copying it or getting in the way of it. Old and new can coexist. It takes clarity to achieve that. The town house has three thin slabs that are projected into the open volume, softly dividing its functions.
