Kenzō Tange (丹下 健三, Tange Kenzō; 4 September 1913 – 22 March 2005) was a Japanese architect. Born in Sakai and raised in China and southern Japan, Tange was inspired from an early age by the work of Le Corbusier and designed his first buildings under Imperial Japan. He first achieved recognition for his projects to reconstruct the destroyed cities of postwar Japan, particularly Hiroshima, where he designed the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. His engagement with the Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne in the 1950s made him one of the first Japanese architects to achieve international recognition.

Renowned for synthesizing traditional Japanese styles with modernism, Tange's work was emblematic of the Japanese postwar boom. However, he built major projects on five continents. He was a forerunner, mentor, and patron of the metabolist movement. He was also known as an ambitious, original urban planner whose ideas inspired the reconstruction of cities including Skopje. Tange would continue designing buildings until his death in 2005.

Tange won awards for his contributions to architecture, including the Royal Gold Medal in 1965, the AIA Gold Medal in 1966, the Praemium Imperiale for Architecture in 1993, and the Pritzker Prize, the "Nobel Prize of architecture", in 1987.

His other projects include:

St. Mary Cathedral
Swooping steel-clad walls support the cross-shaped roof window of Kenzo Tange’s 1960s St Mary’s Cathedral in Tokyo. Located in the Bunkyō district, the cathedral was designed by the Japanese architect to reference the lightness of a bird and its wings.

Shizuoka Tower
Built in1967 in the Ginza district, the Shizuoka Tower gave Tange a chance to materialize his Metabolist ideals, which called for a new urban typology that could self, perpetuate in an organic, vernacular, “metabolic” manner.

Singapore Indoor Stadium
Construction began on 1 January 1985, it has a cone-shaped roof and a pillarless arena. It was completed on 1 March 1987 and officially opened to the public on 1 July 1988.

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!

Welcome home, L.Ann! I'm glad you had a wonderful time.

KitKat ,.I hope.DPup .is feeling better today.

Laura, WYG on a nice clean grill,.

Trissie, I'm so impressed you were able to host the BBQ for the scouts with such short notice - YGG!

Helia, no, we don't have A/ C at home.. It's not usual in UK homes, as traditionally it hasn't been necessary for the few really.hot days we get. We're supposed to start cooling back.down over the next few days, so this heat will soon be a distant dream. I'm going to admit,.I do rather enjoy being out in the garden until late and.still being comfortably warm!

Bama, that's good news.about Little Man. I hope the Solensia is as successful for him as it's been for Freddie.

Dogged, you're very handy with the.needle, adapting things until they're "just right"! I'm.gp8ng.to say I held you up as a Shining Example.to DNeighbour S yesterday evening. He was in his "the world is going to be uninhabitable if we keep getting hotter temperatures , and how expensive it would be to adapt all the houses in the UK to make them liveable" mood ,.and I told him about my good friend in Canada who has a portable type of A/C that she sets up *herself* each year without any fuss, so if necessary, something similar could probably be used here. He was impressed!

Yesterday was successful despite the heat. I.gor the kitchen cleaned, and used cold water instead of the usual hot, which helped cool me down. I put the tablecloth Dnextdoorneighbour C gave me on the table (it was too small for her table) and took a picture of it with the bowl of fruit in the middle amd.Matilda sprawled on the table in approval, to show her. I've designed the party invitations, sent it to DF CW for approval,.and then printed them.out. I'll deliver them later today. After supper I had a lovely time in the garden watering,.deadheading.and doing a little cutting back of things that had gone over in the heat.

Today is parish lunch after church. The inside.of the church should.be nice and.cool, and fortunately its only a.short walk to lunch!

Good morning, kittykatt, and everyone to follow!

Lol at Matilda claiming the new tablecloth.

Little Man is definitely feeling better, he got up on the counter which I don’t recall him ever doing before (I do try to keep them off), and got the zoomies.

We went out for a late lunch yesterday to a restaurant with a wonderful salad bar, on the way home it started thundering and pouring rain so I never got to my outside chores. I will try again today. I woke around 3 and never fell back asleep so I guess I’ll get up. It’s 6:00 now. Might grab a nap later, especially if we get the afternoon storms we’ve been getting.

Today’s poda:
Dailies
Mop
Set trap for Lola? On hold for now, vet bills have wiped out the bank for now
Plant potted plants
Water inside plants
Ride mow
Push mow turkey yard and dog yard (if mower will start)
Paper chores - fill out medical forms for cruise
Place tractor supply order

Good morning and thanks for the start Kittykatt. Also, for the good wishes.
I'm hoping pup is fine. The grasses are still very attractive to her... but I can easily distract her...
I really don't want to take her to the vet unnecessarily - too much stress. At the same time, I don't want to miss something.
(I'm sure you know this feeling:)) I love the quote- no mention of facial wrinkles:)

Bama one question: who is Lola?

I need to rush this morning as I have pup to drop off - DGD is coming this morning- I'll have to drop her for afternoon camp.
I'll be back (likely after)

Morning all. I imagine it would take a few days to get past the jetlag of travel lann. Hope you get through it soon.

Kittykat I'm sure sales of the portable ac units are going to increase now. We sell so many. I bet you or your neighbors could get them there too. They feed through a window to vent and depending the size you buy it could be in your bedroom or cool the whole main living space.

Anyway I am waking up still. My sister circle friend group caught me yesterday with the concept of getting back on my supplements. I need to find them again. B12 and iron might fix my scattered brain. Some days are ok some are a heavy weight of tiredness even if sleep is no different. I just cleaned up after not getting my coffee pot straight it runs all over then.

[helia]

I find all the projects here inspiring - Lauralind's baby blanket, Doggedly's sweater and headband improvement. I wonder if FFB is working on anything? I need to get into a new one.

I hope you've had a good church service and lunch with friends, Kitty. Are you hosting a party? We have A/C but only run it a few days a year, to be honest. It looks like we'll be running it next week - highs in the 90s, M-F.
It's really nice to see you back posting again, L Ann. I hope you and DD33 can get over the jetlag easily. Will you take a nap today? For me, jetlag is always hardest on my stomach with meals at different times than I'm used to.
Enjoy DGD, kitkat! Is dpup still feeling unwell? - Maybe that's hard to tell since she's a lab.
I'm happy that Little Man is feeling better, Bama!
Sounds like you have some caring friends, Lauralind. I hope the supplements help. I take iron; the Dr. prescribed it when it was found I was pretty severely anemic - and didn't even know it. I might be able to do without it now, but I haven't had that discussion with her yet.

Yesterday, was middling productive. I did get some small tasks done: typed in recipe, payroll communications, stopped by payroll for odd tasks. I also did some shopping for our camping trip, got 2 lols washed - dried. I worked out with my trainer and then walked for an hour with friend MM. Dh did most of the cooking for dinner, but I planned and helped: lentil stew over rice, roasted broccoli, and watermelon!

Today, we're packing for the camping trip and hoping to leave around noon. I think we're taking my small SUV even though dd28's car is bigger. Mine is newer and a hybrid, so better gas mileage - though that's not super significant to us. I think dd28 will bring her backseat cover to keep the backseat relatively clean while Fable rides with us. We've never traveled with Fable so it will be an interesting trip.

Sharing 2 successes for dd28. (1) She passed the exams and now officially has her teaching license! (2) She has been picked up by a literary agent who read (and loved!) the book manuscript she wrote. This is the hard part; the agent will now peddle her book to publishers. If it isn't picked by a publisher, the agent told dd28 that's OK - she should just write the next one. The agent is committed to dd28 and her writing; she believes she has what it take to be published. We're very proud of dd28. She works so hard and so diligently on her writing. She has amazing discipline; she must have gotten that from dh. LOL! BUT - we'll see if publishers actually want her manuscript; it is middle grade fantasy, a pretty well-saturated genre.

Next:
- back exercises
- s2s and self care

Later:
- write out weekly menu plan
