UV coordinates on pillars and floor working. I've tinkered with UVs for the ceiling surfaces but have not found a solution yet. There are always discontinuities. The ceiling is created with quadratic Bezier triangles.
Combined the Delaunay triangulation with the Bezier curves to create the "walls" of a room. Next step will be figuring out how to create surfaces between curves.
An inhabitant of this square has two ways to travel: walking, which can be done from any point to any point at a pace $p_w$ seconds per kilometer, or going by a train which needs laid-down tracks but goes at a pace $p_t < p_w$ seconds per kilometer. The inhabitant can combine the two ways of travel -- for example, she could walk to the train, take the train, walk to another train, take that one, and walk to the final destination. If she walks 2 kilometers and takes the train 9 kilometers, her total time in travel would be $2p_w + 9p_t$.
Here's the catch: There's a limited amount of train track available. We can't just cover the square with train track.
If the start and end of the trip were uniformly randomly chosen after the train track layout were set, what layout of the track would minimize the expected time of the trip?
Would it be a grid with squares? Or something more interesting?
💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🫧🔷 Dr. Trefor Bazett explores the mathematical principles behind wire frame bubbles, showing how soap films naturally follow Plateau's Laws to minimize surface area.
Using tetrahedron and cube frames, he demonstrates how the same wire shape can create different bubble configurations and why three soap films always meet at 120° angles – the same #geometry that creates honeycomb patterns in #nature.

Brief Encounter (1945) was partly filmed at Carnforth railway station.
“At two points in the film, platform signs indicate local destinations such as Leeds, Bradford, Morecambe and Lancaster, even though Milford is intended to be in the home counties.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brief_En…
⛅ Dans le ciel infini comme au cœur d'une fleur, le monde nous chuchote son langage secret.
Au-delà des apparences, il y a un ordre, une géométrie invisible qui relie chaque nuage, chaque pétale, chaque instant.
« La philosophie est écrite dans cet immense livre qui se tient toujours ouvert devant nos yeux, je veux dire l'Univers, mais on ne peut le comprendre si l'on ne s'applique d'abord à en comprendre la langue et à connaître les caractères avec lesquels il est écrit. Il est écrit dans la langue mathématique et ses caractères sont des triangles, des cercles et autres figures géométriques... » — Galilée L'Essayeur ( Il Saggiatore ) Rome, Giacomo Mascardi, 1623
🔭 C'est en observant ces signes élémentaires que l'on se reconnecte à la grande beauté du Vivant. Il n'y a plus qu'à nous laisser émerveiller par ce langage universel qui nous entoure.🌟

Something a bit more experimental for #texturetuesday Looking for lines, surfaces, shades - as the people in the background, as it was 30° when I took this image outside of Ratina in Tampere, Finland.

Hope you're all staying hydrated, sunscreened and you're in the shade!! ☀️✨
In diesem Text gibt Dorothee Huber eine kurzen Überblick zu den architektonischen Themen und beschreibt prägnant, was diese Schulanlage so bedeutend macht.
(Reupload! Sorry! It was really blurry this first time - I don't know why! 😐)
More experimentation today! This time it started with a pretty bad photo of the stairs from the front of Villa Spada and then I asked myself "What would happen if we added more stairs?" - so that's what happened! 😂 It's not completely symmetrical but it's close enough for me! The stars you see in the centre are from a bad astrophotography attempt a few months ago! ✨

My experience echoes this writer’s isobelandcat.wordpress.com/201… ‘A while back, wandering around Bloomsbury on a sunny afternoon, I came across this sculpture in a children’s playground. … The plinth gave the cat’s name as Humphry, and the artist as Marcia Debra Solway. I looked about wondering if there was more information about why he was there, took a couple more photos, and made a mental note to look into it later.’
