Venice notes: Patterns in a picture II
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/11/patterns-in-picture-ii.html
Thursday, November 23, 2006. Patterns in a picture II. It's a sunny day on the Grand Canal, in front of the the Palazzo bought by Peggy Guggenheim, and now housing her private collection. This is a very popular spot. What's happening? 1 Semi-public, semi-private. Anyone with a few euros can get into this private house turned museum. And yet, it's in Venice, and there are thousands of tourists outside, in the Dorsoduro sestiere. It's not obvious unless you're there, but this balcony is a beautiful gatheri...

Venice notes: English words with Venetian origins
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/12/english-words-with-venetian-origins.html
Saturday, December 30, 2006. English words with Venetian origins. As far as I can tell, the modern meanings and usage of the following English words, come from Venice proper:. Another country was named after Venice: Venezuela, and many islands and cities. And, of course I'm leaving aside words that are still specific to Venice, and used only metaphorically otherwise: Gondola, Rialto, Doge, Magnifico, barcarole, etc. A light, warm scarlet is "Venetian red".

Venice notes: Alternating drips
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/12/alternating-drips.html
Saturday, December 09, 2006. There are especially Venetian. Patterns, which, still, are quite universal. When we're in Venice, they remind us of home. When we're home, they remind us of Venice. It's generally completely subconscious. When we peel back our conscious mind, and peek inside, we find it's the physical. Phenomena that resonates with us. Like all good patterns, I found this one in the shower. Probably time to change the plastic curtain. Now, something familiar to anyone who has spent too much t...

Venice notes: Cozy refuge
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2007/10/cozy-refuge.html
Monday, October 15, 2007. Certainly Venice is beautiful, but the unusual feeling. It has, for today's visitor, is that of one big home. Well, the whole world comes to visit, to take a breath, within this ideal cozy refuge. And it's ok that everyone comes here. Everyone seems to "fit in", because everyone has problems they need to run away from, and everyone needs a special place for their escape. Posted by Greg Bryant at 11:24 AM. Bernard n. shull.

Venice notes: Patterns in a picture III
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/11/patterns-in-picture-iii.html
Friday, November 24, 2006. Patterns in a picture III. I choose random photos here, purposely: Venice has so many overlapping good patterns, so much life, at such depth, that any glimpse of it, anywhere, reveals important principles. These are patterns that anyone can use, mutatis mutandis. For the good of their community. The great thing about a public square, or any gathering place, in this case a campo. 2 Sub-centers, active or vestigial. Posted by Greg Bryant at 8:50 PM. Eugene, Oregon, United States.

Venice notes: Yes, Venice parties at night
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2007/05/yes-venice-parties-at-night.html
Sunday, May 13, 2007. Yes, Venice parties at night. Many people wander around Venice after sundown, looking for some nightlife. They look for businesses that might be open, other than restaurants, where people might be socializing. They head to San Marco, and they find nothing but others looking for the same thing. Well good news. There are two hotspots, awake late into the night. The other hotspot is far. Posted by Greg Bryant at 6:09 PM. Eugene, Oregon, United States. View my complete profile. Mondo No...

Venice notes: The largest Western Community?
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2007/04/largest-western-community.html
Saturday, April 28, 2007. The largest Western Community? In Ferdinand Tonnies' late 19th century classic, the book that launched sociology, he described the destruction of community and the emergence of society. It was a trend that continued, and that was accelerated by things like automobiles, apartment blocks, shopping malls and zoning. So, is this the largest community in the Western world? It certainly feels that way. Despite all the guests. Posted by Greg Bryant at 1:38 AM. View my complete profile.

Venice notes: The fabric of ancient civilization
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2007/05/fabric-of-ancient-civilization.html
Friday, May 18, 2007. The fabric of ancient civilization. Venice is populated entirely by pedestrians and boats . there are no highways, no skyscrapers, no crosswalks, no streets. And yet, this is a city structure of high civilization. Civilization, from this Roman Empire. And, in fact, Venice famously sacked Constantine's city in its dotage. The Turks finally terminated the Roman Empire in 1453, when much of Constantinople's power, population and influence had already moved to Venice. Mondo Novo, masks.

Venice notes: Patterns in a picture IV
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/11/patterns-in-picture-iv.html
Saturday, November 25, 2006. Patterns in a picture IV. More patterns, and the physics of Venice's effect upon people. Anything that is truly good, is possible. One way or another, if someone proposes something fantastic, not physically impossible, but simply too wonderful and difficult, we're likely to dismiss it, and say "that will never happen". That's something to take home with you. Don't give up on a beautiful idea. Alive, let alone make the world around. Posted by Greg Bryant at 1:39 AM. Mondo Novo...
