With my eyes on all things fault-related these days, as we're now in the third week of the San Andreas Fault National Park studio up at Columbia, I was interested in a brief moment from poet Simon Armitage's new memoir, Walking Home. [Image: Hadrian's Wall (not the wall described below) on the Whin Sill, via Wikipedia]. While hiking with a friend …

[Image: An otherwise unrelated image from NASA, an artist's rendition of the heliosphere and magnetic fields]. The Earth is "constantly crashing through huge walls of dark matter," New Scientist explains, "and we already have the tools to detect them." This dark architecture in space consists of so-called "domain walls" that are like the boundaries between soap bubbles in foam. "The idea …

In Richard Mabey's excellent history?and "defense"?of weeds, previously mentioned on BLDGBLOG here, he tells the story of Oxford ragwort, a species native to the volcanic slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna. Exactly how it arrived in Oxford is unknown, Mabey explains, but it was as likely as not brought back deliberately as part of an 18th-century scientific expedition. [Image: Cropped photo of …

New milling techniques applied to glass and plexiglass panels could be used to "create windows that are also cryptic projectors, summoning ghostly images from sunlight." [Image: A piece of milled plexiglass acting as a projecting lens; via the Computer Graphics and Geometry Lab at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne]. They do so by "taking control of a seemingly chaotic optical …

[Image: "Three tri-bar targets remaining at Cuddeback Lake... the flat surfaces are peeling, crumbling and sprouting, producing dimensionality, and relief." Photo by and courtesy of the Center for Land Use Interpretation].

[Image: Green screen; image via Geek Magazine]. Earlier this week, Petro Vlahos, described by the BBC as "the pioneer of blue- and green-screen systems" in cinema, passed away.

The long-awaited second installment of Bracket, a co-publication of Archinect, InfraNet Lab, and ACTAR, is finally here. The new issue is themed around "soft systems" in architecture and landscape design, or "systems, networks and technologies that are responsive, adaptable, scalable, non-linear, and multivalent," as the editors describe it.
