Something Blue...

Color Wheel Week 6 -- BLUE (Nov. 10-16).

**Toren op Zuid**, Rotterdam: Architect Renzo Piano. Oplevering 28 september 2000.

**KPN-gebouw**: In de Toren op Zuid op de Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam is het regionale hoofdkantoor van KPN Telecom gevestigd waardoor de toren al snel het KPN-gebouw heet.

Als een van de eerste projecten op de Wilhelminapier werd dit 98 meter hoge kantoorgebouw met 23 verdiepingen gerealiseerd.

Toren van Pisa helling: Het KPN-gebouw is een echte “eye catcher” aan de skyline in Rotterdam. Het gevelvlak helt mee met de kabels van de Erasmusbrug. De helling van de gevel is met 6% bijna gelijk aan de scheve toren van Pisa. De scheve voorkant wordt gestuit door een stalen paal van ongeveer 50 meter.

In het oorspronkelijke ontwerp zou de schuine paal aan de voorkant niet een dragende constructie zijn, hierdoor zouden de kolommen heel breed of heel prijzig (door gebruik van nog specialer beton dan waar ze nu van gemaakt zijn) worden. Er is besloten om de schuine paal toch dragend te maken, hiervoor zijn er speciale aanpassingen gedaan m.b.t. de brandwerendheid. Zonder de paal zou het gebouw nog steeds moeten blijven staan, zij het dat het niet meer bruikbaar is.

I'm so sorry for getting behind in visiting pictures in our group! Update in 2nd paragraph! I'll be changing the text each week with the latest news!

This message is to let you know that I've taken a good, long, appreciative look at your image. I'll have spent the time to see the care you've spent with depth of field, composition, lighting and details. If you meant to make a statement, you know I'll get it. If your picture evokes a feeling or mood, I will experience it. It means a lot to me that you've picked just the right image or gone to the effort to specifically take a picture for our wonderful new ipernity group, and I have been enjoying myself immensely as I look at every picture in the group.

Updates to my great and exciting news! If you didn't read my note last week, I'll be starting a new full-time job in less than a three DAYS and I'm so excited! (For the past 8 years, I've been working part-time as a freelance designer.) This being said, I need to prepare for my position and get our house ready so our three dogs and bird will be ok being alone all day. Update! We now have another car, the backyard has a fenced area, we have a new back door with a custom dog door, and my other preparations are progressing nicely!

Although I'm busy doing a lot of other things, I do have time to visit and view every picture in our group with care. I don't have time to leave individual comments on every picture, but I may be able to sometimes, or I may leave a note on your picture! I hope you understand! Once my job is underway, I will try to organize my time so I can go back to giving everyone a personal comment about their picture. Just know that, even though this is merely a cut-and-paste comment, I have given your picture the attention that it deserves, and I have appreciated your talent and choice! :)

Thank you for participating in our group, 10-Week Picture Projects: Color Wheel
