15 Inspiring Image Collections from 2012
Sunken Memorial Garden Sliced into Submerged Cruise Ship
27
Dec
[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Public & Institutional. ]
Submerged sea vessels have long been destinations for diving tourists or (intentional or accidental) marine life habitats, but what if they could serve some function still visible on the surface of the water, like a memorial to those lost when the ship sunk?
The New Concordia Island Contest winners, Alexander Laing and Francesco Matteo Belfiore, propose slicing the section of the Italian cruise ship that crashed in January of 2012 and planting a garden in the resulting voids, leaving the lower, still-submerged areas as habitat zones.
The contest itself “aims to rethink the disaster of the ship Costa Concordia as exceptional opportunity to imagine the future of the wreck and that of the Island of Giglio. It is also a chance to wonder about needs for architecture to build new landscapes on traces and remains of a traumatic event …. The jury has selected the projects that have responded in a more comprehensive way to the questions raised by the contest, interweaving visionaries contents to pragmatic and real solutions.”
The clean and simple solution of the winning proposal defers to both nature and humans, a tribute to the disaster as well as the lives lost. Other intervention propositions of runner-up submissions trended toward either extreme: leaving the wreck mainly as-is and building around it, or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, creating underwater passageways and making the remaining structure physically accessible to people.

Some cool visual art images:
A series of landscapes Winter 2010-11
Image by Martin Beek
Pen and ink with charcoal and graphite , sketchbook pages from late December 2010-February 2011.
The winter landscapes commenced in late October 2010 , they are often based around Ipsden or Oxfordshire locations close to the path or roads; most were drawn in or near to my car on the way to work. They often depict bleak open places, influenced by Graham Sutherland’s etchings or Rembrandt’s small landscapes, all are bisected by the page divide. Landscapes have always been an important aspect of my work, 1980-96 these were often American landscapes , both real and Imaginary, culminating in the Heartlands series of 1997-2000. In recent years I’ve worked from places I know, places that often feature in my photographic stream here on Flickr, although the drawn landscapes are not dependent upon photography.
Pen and ink pages from my current sketchbook. I drew these with Faber Castell artist’s pens, mostly SX S and Fine, black and sepia on trav.e.logue hand book manufactured by Global art materials Kansas City.
Following my copies after Cezanne last year, I have gone on to work at drawings almost every day throughout 2010 and into 2011, they form a visual diary and also fit in well with themes and earlier drawings over the years. I have a selection of pages from my sketchbooks since 1980 on Flickr.

Les brouillages / Scrambled – 16
Image by jlndrr
This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.
For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.
Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.
