I am laying here , imagining the warmth of our bodies entwined . You say ‘stop crying ’, as you kiss a tear. I’ve missed you so much I say, ‘I’ve really missed you.‘You pull me closer. You say, ‘I’m here, 'then you evaporate. We both disappear .

White Walls Jean Nouvel + Takis Sophocleous Architects
From the architect:
On the south façade a vertical landscape covers approximately 80% of the building’s façade area. This exceptional living environment is working like a natural “brise soleil”. The plants will act as a natural sun control shielding the apartments and the offices from direct sun during summer while admitting a maximum of sunlight in winter. This “living “façade” supports a variety of Cypriote climbing and spreading plants and will be continually transformed by the cyclic movements of the different seasons. 400 years old olive trees continue this vertical landscape on the perimeter of the building. It creates the link to the adjacent urban park and gets a part of the scenery of the city.

Utrecht University Library Wiel Arets Architects
The Utrecht University Library, established in 1636, is located on the Uithof campus, situated a short distance from the city center. It is comprised of the library itself and an adjacent parking garage with multiple voids–between which is a courtyard garden and a café named for Johannes Gutenberg–and the fenestration of both is fritted with an abstracted image of fossilized papyrus. The relief of this image is imprinted on concrete panels, which are equal in size to the fritted glass panels; together they compose the building’s façade, and the concrete panels return within the interior.
