The Door of Paradise (Porta del Paradiso), realized by Lorenzo Ghiberti in the Baptistry of Florence between 1425 and 1452. How to shape matter into a living agent, how to transform an architectural element into a #storytelling platform, how to turn #gold from a shiny metal (endowed with the unique properties of malleability and resistance to rust) into a speaking light, opening new doors of meaning, shaping the true likeness of things, and revealing their hidden glory.   #florence #humanism 👉 https://lnkd.in/eR6Uw34h

Looking to delve into mushroom art? The goal of the mushroom art registry by Mykoweb is to understand the relationship between people and mushrooms as depicted through art. #mushroomArt #mushroom #Mykoweb

FUN FACT...🧐 🧐 🧐 "Carpe Diem!". Commonly translated as "Seize the day! BUT, do you know the origins of this saying ?? In ancient Rome, carpet was made through a process of looping and "plucking" "Carpere" means "Pluck" and is the root word from which we get the word "Carpet". #SASFlooring #funfacts #flooringcontractor #flooringfunnies #sydneyconstruction #commercialfitout #floorpreparation #sydneybuilder #sydneyflooring #designinspo #vinyltiles #carpetinstallation #interiorfitout

When it came to our website development, I was a bit unsure of where to start considering the daunting task that lay ahead.

The Pantheon’s mystical name, which originated from Greek, means all (deriving from the Greek word pan) and gods (deriving from the Greek word theos). In fact, the Pantheon was originally a temple dedicated to all the Roman gods; it was then sanctified in 609 AD and transformed into a basilica. Today, the Pantheon is a significant tourist attraction, a museum and a basilica, as you can refer to it as the Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs. It is a must-see attraction for several reasons, but we give you two mind-blowing to add to your list: 🌍 The Pantheon’s Dome is the most massive unsupported Dome in the world. Measuring 44.3m, it is the largest, unreinforced, spherical concrete Dome ever built. The Dome was laid layer by layer in the same manner as the walls. Even lighter aggregates were mixed into the concrete – firstly, chunks of travertine, then pottery, and finally pumice. ☔ Visiting the Pantheon during a rainy day is a breathtaking experience. As the rainwater penetrates through the Oculus (the eye in Latin), the stunning circular opening is the only source of light inside the Pantheon, it creates a ray of light filled with droplets of rain, flowing away due to an excellent drain system located under the slanted Pantheon’s floors.

Maya Sabha - The Virtual Museum 🏛 In this second episode of Maya Sabha, we explore the history and architectural marvels created by the Chalukya Dynasty. 👑 At SETU, we are creating digital twins 👬 of our Ancient and Heritage Architecture by scanning them and converting them to digital meshes. Using these assets, we are now creating a 🏛 Virtual Museum called the Maya Sabha which will enable the viewer to get up-close to these monuments. 📷 With Photogrammetry, it is now possible to digitize these great monuments to showcase our history in a completely new way. 🚌 This will give a great boost to the Tourism industry and more importantly to the 👨🎓 Student community, who can now view all these at the comfort or their homes. Students of Architecture can now study these monuments inside their college campuses with these assets. 🌄 In this episode, we look at the Badami Hills and the rock-cut caves sculpted during the Chalukya dynasty. We also briefly look into the history of the dynasty and their reign and look deep into these cave temples to understand the vision of these great kings. Please provide us your feedback and the other important monuments/temples you would want us to cover in the future. Don't forget to check out the connection between Chalukya Dynasty and the movie Kantara. Watch the video fully to understand the link. https://lnkd.in/gGqjBVB3

In this inspiring tale, we explore the profound conversation between marble tiles and a marble statue in a beautiful museum. Despite coming from the same origin, their journeys and outcomes were vastly different. Discover how embracing challenges and enduring hardships can transform us into something unique and admirable. https://lnkd.in/gyDgGC8m hashtag#Motivation hashtag#LifeLessons hashtag#MarbleStatue hashtag#GrowthMindset hashtag#Endurance hashtag#Success hashtag#Transformation hashtag#OvercomingChallenges hashtag#StoryTime hashtag#Perseverance hashtag#Resilience hashtag#GrowthMindset hashtag#Inspiration hashtag#Corporate 

What does the Skeiron team say about scanning the caves of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra? Today we want to share comments from our team members who worked in the caves and digitised this shrine. Oleh I won’t say much. I am amazed at how much effort was put in by people who worked hundreds or even thousands of years ago to create these caves. Yevhenii On the first day of scanning, it was morally uncomfortable to pass by the relics of saints with the scanner. Another highlight for me personally was the three underground churches in the far caves, with the myrrh flowing heads of former monks kept near them. The most difficult to scan were the Varangian caves, which are the least explored. They are approximately 100 metres long, 1-1.7 m high and 1-1.5 m wide. You can spin the 3D models yourself and explore the various interesting things that we have left in the form of annotations along with National Kyiv-Pechersk Historical Cultural Preserve.

Optimising the convergence of #people and #places is what we do at Sidekick Group Ltd | Certified B Corp. To better understand this, a collection of Sidekicks visited Crossrail Place Roof Garden to see 'Vessels' by Limbic Cinema, part of Canary Wharf Group's Winter Lights Festival and just a stones throw from our HQ, to witness a modern take on historical methods for creating spaces that provoke thought and creativity: 'A modern take on monuments that brought people together in ancient civilisations to contemplate and celebrate the sun. Lasers create vivid three-dimensional forms that shift and transform within three monolithic pyramid structures. The volumetric lighting created by the lasers, dances in synchronisation with melodic music.  From the stone circles of England to the Pyramids of Egypt, monolithic structures were built across the globe as a centre point for rituals to take place – where light would interact with the structure resulting in transcendent experiences for collective audiences.' 📷: https://lnkd.in/e4mjyvkQ #peoplemakeplaces #placestovisit #canarywharf
