For anyone curious how flat face couplings work (and how air entering the system is kept to an absolute minimum), this animation from Stauff provides a great overview of the operating principle:

ZETAの青い装甲は、
青に白を足して明るくしているわけではありません。
青から青緑へ。
黄緑を橋にして、最後に橙と黄の光を入れる。

これは単純な「青のグラデーション」ではなく、
青い装甲の上に、暖かな夕景の光を成立させるための色彩設計です。
筆触の直接の参考は、National Galleryで見た
Seuratの《Bathers at Asnières》。

均一な点で表面を埋めるのではなく、
方向を持った短い筆触と、混ぜずに並べられた色。
今回はその考え方を、装甲の面の流れに合わせて置き換えています。
使用色はすべてVallejoです。
（72番台はGame Color、70番台はModel Color）

【1｜BASE】
72.020 Imperial Blue／インペリアルブルー
まず、装甲全体の固有色と最も深い影を作ります。
この青は後から完全に隠さず、最後まで筆触の間に残します。

【2｜BLUE】
72.021 Magic Blue／マジックブルー
72.119 Aquamarine／アクアマリン
小さな筆触を順番に置き、
明度を上げながら、青を少しずつ青緑方向へ動かします。
前の色を塗り潰すのではなく、
それぞれの色が見える状態を残していきます。

【3｜BLUE → GREEN】
70.755 Light Emerald／ライトエメラルド
ここから青緑を強くします。
光に近づくほど筆触の密度を上げ、使う範囲は少しずつ絞ります。

【4｜BRIDGE → LIGHT】
70.954 Yellow Green／イエローグリーン
72.008 Orange Fire／オレンジファイア
70.954は、青い固有色と暖色の光をつなぐための中介色です。

その上に置く72.008は、
装甲を明るくするための「次の青」ではありません。
ここからは、装甲色ではなく光源色として扱います。
【5｜GLAZE & ADJUST】
72.008 Orange Fire＋72.005 Moon Yellow／ムーンイエロー

二色を混ぜ、受光部分に小範囲のグレーズを入れます。
分離していた暖色の筆触を、同じ光の中へまとめるためです。
その後、72.005で最も強い光と筆触をもう一度戻します。
ただし、このグレーズは
最後に一度だけ行う仕上げではありません。

画像では便宜上5段階に整理していますが、
実際の作業はもっと何度も往復しています。
筆触を置く
→ 小範囲をグレーズする
→ 失われた筆触とハイライトを戻す
→ 少し離れて確認する

この微調整を、制作中に繰り返します。
色の順番は、あくまで骨格です。
どこまで暖色を入れ、どこに青を残すか。
色が「散らかった筆触」ではなく「光」として見えるか。

最終的な仕上がりを決めるのは、
この小さな調整の積み重ねだと考えています。
目的は、青い装甲を黄色に変えることではありません。
青い装甲が、暖かな夕光に強く照らされている状態を作ること。

筆触で色を作り、グレーズで光を整える。

People often mistake our new builds for historic renovations. Townsend is no exception. We’re not trying to make anything look old — we’re simply using the methods and materials that were standard a hundred years ago, and for most people the only reference point for that craft is the historic buildings still standing.

When you respect masonry as a material, and how it works in compression rather than tension, you are limited. Arches need certain dimensionality to support the weight above them; natural stones need thickness to span a window; large openings need “buttressing” at the ends to carry the load to the ground.

Historic buildings were guided by these limitations; there was no way around them for thousands of years (until the advent of mass-produced steel).

Our eyes have grown accustomed to the proportions of real masonry buildings, and it’s why modern brick buildings don’t fit into that intuitive understanding. Something looks off. People may not be able to point out why it looks off, or exactly what is different about our buildings, but they sense it. They know it.

@matt_hayes4 and I are good designers (we designed Townsend together), but I believe it’s our respect and understanding of the material itself that makes Building Culture’s work stand out. Rather than trying to overcome the limitations of masonry, making it do something it wasn’t intended to do with steel, we celebrate those limitations.

There is a whole world of exploration within the material. As any artist will tell you: limitations are the key to creativity. The geometries inherent in compression-only buildings reflect the laws of nature, and are harmonious – just like all the great buildings throughout history.

We’re not copying historic buildings; we’re trying to build the future’s historic buildings.

In 1988, the Hawley family began excavating a Kansas cornfield after old river maps, survey records, and local accounts placed the steamboat Arabia beneath it.

About 45 feet down, they reached the wreck.

The Arabia had struck a submerged cottonwood snag and sunk in the Missouri River in 1856. The boat still lay where it went down, but by the time the excavation began, the active river channel was nearly half a mile away.

The Missouri had shifted across its floodplain. Repeated floods buried the abandoned channel beneath sand, silt, and mud until the wreck sat below working farmland.

What came out of that old riverbed was more than a shipwreck.

The cargo was a large commercial shipment from one precisely dated voyage. It had been packed in St. Louis for merchants farther upriver and sank before it could be divided among stores and customers.

The shipment included commercial quantities of footwear, hardware, ceramics, textiles, medicines, preserved foods, tools, and household goods. Archaeologists were looking at merchandise before use, breakage, repair, reuse, and disposal altered the assemblage.

That is rare.

Many nineteenth century sites are built from refuse, loss, demolition, and repeated occupation. The Arabia preserved a shipment before it entered any of those processes.

Waterlogged, low oxygen sediment slowed the decay of leather, wood, textiles, seeds, and food that normally survive poorly at dry sites. The result was an unusually large, tightly dated collection of mid nineteenth century goods from the Missouri River trade.

People remember the Arabia because someone found a steamboat beneath a cornfield.

I remember it because the field used to be the Missouri River.

This is a joke but my chickens do fiend for my kale.

[Drakansoul @drakansoul]

Putting chicken wire around my kale to keep the chickens from eating all of it so that the caterpillars have something to snack on so they can in turn end up becoming snacks for the chickens.
