🎌👏Teshima Memories 🎌👏
Two years ago, via electric bike (👌) ventured over this delightful island in the Seto Inland Sea.
One of the ‘art islands’ and did not disappoint.
The incredible Teshima Art Galley by Ryue Nishizawa houses artist Rei Naito’s sublime ‘Matrix’ art installation.
“No photos please...”
they told us.
But... the architect & Australian in me said...
Are u kidding??

Bruno Taut first revealed the Katsura Imperial Vil

Bruno Taut first revealed the Katsura Imperial Villa in the early twentieth century. Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, pillars of the Modernist establishment, were fascinated by Katsura’s ‘modernity’.
The orthogonal shapes, simplistic interiors, and open spaces paralleled modern architecture, so they viewed Katsura Imperial Villa as a historical example of modern architecture.
The Villa & Gardens were founded by Prince Toshihito and constructed from 1616-1660.
Put this spot on your future travel plans.
Top Tip.
Book a day before for your time entrance.
Images from this day in Autumn 2018 along with a sweet little retro postcard set I picked up.

Escaped (with my permit) to Ivanhoe yesterday to show our tenderers through the former Bennison/Swift house designed by Guilford Bell + Neil Clerehan in 1964-1966.
Two houses on site built for a family and their in-laws, it’s an almost intact example of their short 1960’s partnership, showing their combined atheistic concerns, of blank walls, privacy and discrete urbanity.
Our light approach to its alterations will be to differentiate the new from the old, and allow the two separate houses to become one family home.

A gig is a gig is a gig...👌‼️
New Project in Rosanna.
Alterations to an existing early 1950’s house built by the great post WW2 wave of European carpenters and builders.
Looking forward to helping these clients achieve a comfortable updated family home.

Things my father taught me: - How to skin a rabbit

Things my father taught me:
- How to skin a rabbit
- How to drive stick shift
- Reading is an important pastime
- To cool down in summer, lie in a hallway between two open doors
- You can join anything together with a roll of wire
- Ice Vo-Vo’s biscuits and a cuppa tea solves all problems
- Dogs are useful companions
- Don’t trust a man that doesn’t drink
- Dont leave the house without polishing your shoes
Happy Fathers Day Nelson Hewson

Inspired by @shelley_roberts_architects post about

Inspired by @shelley_roberts_architects post about gratitude, I am conscious that Spring is here, and I am looking forward to jumping in the car which is full of petrol as I hardly ever drive it these days, and escape the noise of inner suburbia and do a bit of しんりんよく (shinrin'yoku) forest bathing.
森林浴 Shinrin’yoku, or visiting the woods to soothe oneself mentally is the Japanese idea that has been playing on mind these last few weeks. Our 5 kilometre radius doesn’t allow for this celebration.
My former gaijin memory sees the Kanji 森林浴.
Can you see the ‘trees’ in the first two ideograms? Like a forest (mori). And the ‘bath’ or ‘bathing’ is the last character.
This spot is a hill forest in Teshima Japan. Home to the magnificent Art Museum by Ryue Nishizawa & Rei Naito

Compare the pair.
My Covid Walks are reminding me of what we as a city have done to the indigenous landscape.
Concrete versus creek bank.
This is Stony Creek.
On Mirring-gnay-bir-nong land.
Once it flowed from up near Gisborne up in the hills and ends up in Port Philip Bay.
Along the way we built the Western Freeway above it.

Can we imagine this day, 75 years ago? As we whine

Can we imagine this day, 75 years ago?
As we whine and whine about toilet paper, 1 hour of exercise, no shopping and underemployment we should consider how our parents, aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles, grandparents felt, on this day.
My family lost an father, husband uncle and brother and son, Horace Hewson.
Some never knew what happened to their relatives.
May we never have to experience this in our lifetime.
If we do, then hopefully we can survive like they did.

August 9 1945.
Seventy-five years ago, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The devastation led to Japan's unconditional surrender and brought an end to World War Two.
In October 2018
@disposable_time_
& myself left Fukuoka in Kyushu (fabulous city btw..✔️) late in the day and arrived 1 hour before the Peace Museum closed.
Both of us, moist eyes...left with our mouths wide open, in shock.
What was needed was a hike up to the top of the hills. Followed by a stiff drink & an average meal (unusual)

Today’s (within 5km) adventure. Stony Creek lies

Today’s (within 5km) adventure.
Stony Creek lies within the area occupied by the Kurung-Jang-Balluk and Marin-Balluk clans of the Wurundjeri people (also known as the Woiwurung language group), who form part of the larger Kulin Nation.
What was once home to an expansive flora & fauna and the white mangrove was of course buggered up by tannery’s, meat processing & glue works that used the creek...’gasp’... as run-off for their industries.
Then came the railways, gas works, and the bridge in 1978.
We really have to hang our heads in shame to witness how we re-shaped (fucked-up 🙄) this area over 230 years or so..

August 6th, 8:15am, Hiroshima
A repost from September 2015, spent a day in strong reflection at The Peace Memorial.
The city itself is one of the greenest well planned I have ever seen.
One anomaly is that almost every local you meet, can speak English with proficiency.
They have had the world pay respect for over 75 years.
After the daunting museum we filled ourselves to the brim with the other famous Hiroshima specialty, Okonomiyaki.
Travel memories are all we have now..
