Big beetle building

Big beetle building, 7/4/26

Surely the title of this post is self-explanatory. I love it. I just wish I could remember exactly where I took this picture: it is somewhere on either Howland St or New Cavendish St, somewhere very close to the BT Tower. But I cannot find it on Google Street View (last updated in that area in about 2021) which suggests it has only been there for a couple of years. Great effect, though: and presumably functional in some form or other. Going on the way all the pipes run into it I assume this is the air-con, or possibly the pillar of the structural integrity of the superframe, or something.

Can hexagons be made to fit into squares? Clare is certainly hoping so. I believe it’s a crochet thing.

Design versus usage

Design v usage, 1/5/23

I’m not really going for the aesthetics today: rather, this is the kind of educational image I might show my students one of these days. The path on the right is the design, but on the left, we see usage; a sign the two do not always coincide.

Floral design, as you see

Floral design, 17/9/22

I like it when you get these built-in labels for a picture. My job of description is done.
