Finally, bed, coffee and wireless, my idea of ....... The last few days have been a busy blur of traveling of being programed round the clock, hence the silence. So will try and catch up. First... THE LIGHT LAB. We took a visit to this very cool space at the Department of Building and Environment at Danube University. The lab is a dome made of lights that can be controlled to represent the exact lighting conditions of any time of year, any time of year, bright or overcast - where you can test what the interior lighting will be of a building. You make a scale model of your proposed building, put it in the middle of the dome, adjust the settings and hey presto. Aside from its general usefulness as a tool, for an installation artist its just a very interesting and unusual space!

oh man, i can barely imagine what this place was like. I love that Bible writer! The wall of lights is breathtaking.

Thank you for the small vicarious journeys to distant places.
