I'm still learning the art of love...

I don't know how many more punches, stabs and slaps I can take. Love has no boundaries but when people put up a boundary then its even harder to love them back.

I live with this feeling for most of my life, God says to love our enemies, and it's not like I have any, I don't label people like that. In fact I don't even believe I count someone as my enemy although maybe I could seem like one to them. But let's stretch that definition of enemy... What about people who annoy you, who get on your nerves, people that you are intimidated by, you don't or are not quite sure how to love them... What about those people?

I feel that we should still live them... but then is the meaning of love the same as the romantic kind or the same as being nice?

I am a sucker for being nice, I can't find it in my heart not tocare about people, I know this annoys people sometimes coz I'm always wonderig how they are, are they alright...mm do they need an ear.

I really drive myself insane sometimes, I sit for a while and when it's all over, when people say to you that they press your wrong buttons, I sit and wonder... Why do I even bother?
And even so , when I question that, inside of me I still cannot bring myself to give up on showing more love and care the only way I know how. And maybe I think it's time to change my tactic...allow myself to be a bit more schemy...

Coz I'm still learning the art of love, I'm still trying to not mess up...

Beijing architects HHD_FUN have completed a temporary office building in Binhai near Tianjin, China, which features a patterned metal skin enclosing verandas.

Called YJP Administrative Center, the building is covered in panels in twelve different shapes.

These are distributed across the surface according to how much light is required by each of the rooms behind.

Here’s some more text from HHD_FUN:

–

YJP Administrative Center is a temporary building in Tianjin Binhai CBD.

Enclosed verandahs are arranged around the building to afford visual access to the CBD area from within the building.

This allows the occupants to survey the surrounding construction site.

The size of openings within the facade relates directly to the lighting requirements for particular activities within different areas of the building.

The porosity of the façade is designed to produce the required conditions for these activities.

The integration of the density of the patterned façade with the various inner functions forms a key focus of the project.

The façade apertures serve as view frames. Aperture size and orientation is varied in a continuous manner introducing topological difference across the façade.

The whole façade is constructed from six forms, reflected to give twelve types of identical components, making the building process highly efficient. This meant that the building to be constructed in less than seven months.
