A team of researchers at University of British Columbia have developed a new design for highrises that could help tall buildings withstand major earthquakes, while keeping people safe inside. Led by structural engineering professor Tony Yang at UBC's faculty of applied science, the project aims to prepare cities like Vancouver for the "big one." "We are expected to have very large earthquakes," Yang said.

The Surrender of Barcelona

Artist: Wyndham Lewis (Canadian-born British, 1882–1957)

Date: 1934-1937

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

Lewis was working on this painting in the year of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. The conflict in Spain was the setting for Lewis's novel 'The Revenge for Love', which was published in 1937. However, Lewis denied any connection between this picture and the book. In 1950 Lewis wrote: 'In the Surrender of Barcelona I set out to paint a Fourteenth Century scene as I should do it could I be transported there, without too great change in the time adjustment involved.' The frieze of soldiers in the foreground can be seen as alluding to Velasquez's painting 'Surrender of Breda' 1635.

Engineering Architecture: 20 Models bt @skidmoreowingsmerrill Reveal How Skyscrapers Work. On view at Architekturgalerie München through March 3rd, 2016, “The Engineering of Architecture” explores the research, design, and realization of cutting-edge structural engineering projects at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill sampled from the firm’s 80-year history. The exhibition invites visitors to explore SOM’s portfolio across a spectrum of building scales in locations around the world, from Seoul to Salt Lake City. The show was anchored by 20 skyscrapers, each modeled at the same scale. Guided by SOM structural engineers and model makers, a team of students from the Illinois Institute of Technology assembled each model by hand in the firm’s Chicago offices using museum board, laser cutters, and glue. Models were created without facades in order to reveal the unique structural framework of each building.
