Building reuse is often overshadowed by the long green shadow of new high performance architecture. But the intrinsic nature of repurposing and bringing second life to an otherwise discarded structure is a sustainable idea we can’t ignore, especially when it’s done as gracefully as this old barn redux in Belgium. Architect Rita Huys of Buro2 skillfully transformed this agricultural icon into a beautiful, modern dwelling known simply as The Barn Home.

…heute Richtung Lollar, in Hessen zu einer TÜV Schulung zum Qualitätsmanagement-Auditor QMA-TÜV.

Bin gespannt, was die Woche so bringen wird.

60 Photography Links You Can’t Live Without at CameraPorn
CameraPorn has a nice round up of 60 photography related links (including a mention of thomashawk.com) that is worth checking out.

I’ve been meaning to do one of these lists myself now for a few months. Maybe I’ll get around to that at some point… then again, I’ve got 400 shots from a recent trip to L.A. that are staring at me waiting to be processed.
