Very interesting! I love mandalas!

The monks begin the Mandala sand painting with a ceremony of chants, music and mantra recitation for blessing the site to make it conducive for creating the mandala.
After the opening ceremony, the monks start drawing the line design for the mandala. This is very exacting work based on sacred geometry as presented in the ancient scriptures.

Again… some amazing ideas!

Santiago Calatrava was born in Valencia, Spain on July 28, 1951, and has been practicing on a professional level for only about 17 years. After only 10 years, he had already made a name for himself, establishing his work as the standard by which later engineering design should be measured.

Before he was designing these amazing structures, however, he was a student of art, or architecture, then of engineering. In 1968, at the age of 17, he began his schooling in an art school at Valencia. after just one year, he switched to architecture school, at the “Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Valencia.” He also did post graduate studies there in Urbanism.

After a five year study of architecture, he went on to study civil engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. (In his words, the reason he decided to go from one area of study to the next, rather than double majoring, was that he is unable to think about more than one thing at a time.) After 4 years of engineering school, he continued his studies as a doctoral student at the same school. His thesis was entitled, “Concerning the Foldability of Spaceframes.”

The Nuremberg Chronicle it is amazing, funny and interesting!

The Nuremberg Chronicle, more properly known as the Liber Chronicarum, is a history of the world from creation to its publication in 1493. Its structure follows the story of human history as related in the Bible while also including digressions on natural catastrophes, royal genealogies and the histories of a number of important Western cities. Hartman Schedel, a Nuremberg physician and humanist scholar, compiled the work. It was illustrated and engraved by leading artists of the day, Michael Wohlgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, and published by Anton Koberger, the largest printer and publisher in Germany at the time.

The Chronicle is considered one of the most outstanding examples of early printing. Its fames stems primarily from the quality of its illustrations. It was the most lavishly illustrated book of the time and was one of the first to successfully integrate illustrations and text. In its own time, it was a very popular work with approximately 2500 copies printed and editions appearing in both Latin and German. The book was so successful that an unauthorized, less expensive edition was printed in Augsburg in 1497.
