Bollards are the most efficient way to protect pedestrians. They provide the most effective barrier to cars while posing the least impediment to pedestrians.

I'm hyper critical of museums because I work so closely with them, but as spaces where you can go and literally just 'hang out' with ancient history they truly are unique. Feeling down? Go sit next to an old pot/fossil/painting. It won't necessarily solve anything but it's still very grounding.

Oh, good.

Yes, though I am not a big fan of nave altars.

"O sangue dos heróis está mais próximo de Deus que a tinta dos filósofos e as orações dos devotos". - Julius Evola, Metafísica da Guerra

“Poetry remakes and prolongs language; every poetic language begins by being a secret language, that is, the creation of a personal universe, of a completely closed world. The purest poetic act seems to re-create language from an inner experience that … reveals the essence of things.” —Mircea Eliade

Baptism of Christ

Have been thinking a lot about the 12thC lately and what a marvellously explosive period it was, full of new ideas, new technologies. New kinds of building, too. Here some splendid examples - do you recognise them?

It should happen, why not?

Welcome to all the newcomers. I’m a #letterpress guy, with serious interests in early #typography and #printing. Here’ s an example of what I print:

Wenzel Hablik, Beispiele Künstlerischer Schrift Volume 3, Austria, 1906. In the early 20th century, amid the rise of the Vienna Secession, the influential lettering artist and teacher Rudolf von Larisch collected samples in this book series.

Airplane Commander Training Manual for the B-29 Superfortress, February 1945. Impressively clean typography and graphic design for the cover. Holds up!

"Your UI doesn't need to map one-to-one with your data's fields and values". Great thinking on simplicity from Steve Schoger.

The typography here had no reason to go this hard but I’m glad it did

This was another pretty remarkable re-visit a fortnight ago. Isn’t it wonderful?

It is so cool that both Chinese and Latin #calligraphy have a hierarchy of scripts, and it works the same way. A piece starts with older/slower scripts, and finishes with younger/faster scripts. 1/n

A friend clearing out old scrolls belonging to her late parents let me have this one by Yu Youren (!). Yu, several times jailed between 1906-1911 for starting revolutionary newspapers, wrote out this Li Bai poem for my friend’s grandfather, also a newspaper publisher, between 1949 and 1964.
