this is an example of the beautiful concrete at Hadid's Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany. The building itself leaves much to be desired (pales in comparison with her BMW plant in Leipzig), but the concrete, showing the imprint of the carefully-crafted wooden formwork, is a work of art.
finding an internet cafe that's capable of flickr uploads proved difficult in Berlin, so I'm writing from Praugue. This photo is from neither of those places: It's Walter Gropius's Bauhaus in Dessau.
The first photos from the Europe trip have started hitting Flickr - this is Tyler's photo of the Jewish Memorial in Berlin, designed by Peter Eisenman.
Hello everyone, just a quick note to say that, in addition to the Europe tour that's being led by Jackie Gargus, there's a group of Landscape Architecture students in Slovenia right now. This is the site they're working with in Trzic. You can follow their progress on the KSA website here:

This post was done from Blogger, using the blogger thing to insert the images. Apparently the "blog this" option in flickr only allows you to have one photo, plus it can make the formatting a little weird when the blogger and flickr layouts compete...
However, as you can see from my previous posts, the inline photos are linked to the original flickr photo page, which is a nice touch. I believe the images in this post, when clicked, will simply bring up a new window with just the image, making it difficult to see the rest of the flickr album.

To demonstrate picture uploads, this is a test message with several images of Kent, Ohio.
These images were taken downtown, where a rail line runs by an abandoned factory and close to the central business district.
Students who will be studying overseas during the summer of 2007 are invited to contact Matt Bernhardt if you'd like to be a part of this project.
Thanks to Evan for finding this picture browser service:
It seems interesting as a way of posting a series of pictures to the blog without needing to paste individual image URLs...thoughts? Is it worth putting together a tutorial of how to use this?
