Recurrence 🔁

(Reupload! Sorry! It was really blurry this first time - I don't know why! 😐)

More experimentation today! This time it started with a pretty bad photo of the stairs from the front of Villa Spada and then I asked myself "What would happen if we added more stairs?" - so that's what happened! 😂 It's not completely symmetrical but it's close enough for me! The stars you see in the centre are from a bad astrophotography attempt a few months ago! ✨

The Langen Foundation, Hombroich, Neuss, Germanany, 2025

The exhibition building initiated and endowed by the collector Marianne Langen is situated on a former NATO base amidst a swath of Lower Rhine landscape. The collector Karl-Heinrich Müller developed a visionary project for these grounds in 1994, aiming to coalesce art and nature to form a unique synthesis.

The exhibition venue, which opened its doors in 2004, is assembled from two interconnected building tracts of respectively different architectural nature. Abutting the elongated concrete slab veiled in glass at a forty-five-degree angle is the main building tract, which is comprised of two parallel cubes that are entrenched nearly six metres deep into the ground. Running between the two tracts is a large open stairwell resembling a stairway to heaven, leading from the depths back up into nature.

The Langen Foundation offers three exhibition spaces totalling an area of 1,300 square metres. Situated within the ground-level concrete slab is the so-called Japan Room – an unusually long and narrow gallery conceptualised by Tadao Ando as a space of “tranquillity” especially for the Japanese segment of the Langen Collection. The two subterranean exhibition rooms, with a ceiling height of a surprising eight metres, were in turn designed to accommodate the modern part of the collection.

Characteristic for many of the buildings designed by this Pritzker awardee is the visible structure of the installed formwork panel of smoothed concrete, which is oriented to the size of the Tatami mats and, together with the holes of the formwork anchors, yields a distinctive visage. In the Langen Foundation building these structures are consistently visible, even from the inside in places.

Humphry (the cat statue) and a tiling and hexagons and equilateral triangles, Alf Barrett playground, Old Gloucester St, London, England

My experience echoes this writer’s isobelandcat.wordpress.com/201
‘A while back, wandering around Bloomsbury on a sunny afternoon, I came across this sculpture in a children’s playground. … The plinth gave the cat’s name as Humphry, and the artist as Marcia Debra Solway. I looked about wondering if there was more information about why he was there, took a couple more photos, and made a mental note to look into it later.’

but the writer did the research for me:
'... on Flickr …’MARCIA SOLWAY was my daughter, she made this sculpture of HUMPHRY. He was the resident cat for 18 years at the Mary Ward Centre in Queen Square WCI...MARCIA suffered with EPILEPSY ...she died aged 34 years August 1992, the same year as HUMPHRY. MARCIA lived in Rosebery Ave ECI, she was an ardent cat lover’'

So this has triggered a thought I had decades ago while my partner was watching Star Wars.

In three dimensional space you wouldn't refer to a Delta Quadrant which is a 2 dimensional term.

Perhaps there is someone knowledgeable about #geometry or #astronomy who knows the term for a quarter of a sphere.....

Came across the word tetartosphere but assume it isn't in common use.

Geometry and topology are reshaping how we think about data. The Shape of Data explores how structure, distance, and dimension impact machine learning—covering networks, manifolds, TDA, and quantum methods.

Case studies span text, survey, medical, and social data, with accessible math and real code examples in R (Python too). A valuable reference for anyone working in geometric or graph-based ML.
