Delft and Senz

Delft (a historic dutch town famed for its quaint design and art history) was a quick visit to an old friend, Sharon, who coincidentally, works at an incredible umbrella design company specializing in clever weatherproof umbrellas!

Arriving a desolate town square the morning after the tragic worldcup defeat

Quiet mainways as the nation mourns

Visiting Senz - the wind tunnel!

Visiting Senz - JM admires the asymmetric brolly in 80kmh winds

Visiting Senz - checkers, anyone?

Delft Technical University - one of the top

They must have really tall people here!

Pretty student housing - with your own canal

Early season Holly

Electrical Engineering building, sticking out like a sore thumb

Flanders Poppy (Papaver rhoeas)

Maritime Engineering - making the most of a canal

First signs of the largest architectural program in Europe - bins and bins of discarded models

Seen in the Architecture building - 1 (surrealist conversation)

Seen in the Architecture building - 2 (colorful cushions)

Seen in the Architecture building -3 (oversized designer lamps)

Seen in the Architecture building - 4 (the elegance of stereolithography)

Seen in the Architecture building - 5 (waaay too intricate!)

Seen in the Architecture building - 6 (abandoned summer studios)

Friend Sharon, in matching colors - Architecture Library

Fancy pretty lamps, Architecture Library

Coolest carpet ever! (click to zoom)

New found architect and designer friends

Delft canals 1 - don't step out the wrong door!

Delft canals 2 - lilies

Delft canals 3 - don't park too close to the edge!

Delft canals 4 - reflections

Delft canals 5 - Lilies and the New Church (sorta)

mesmerizing reflection

meow!

the Old Church

Fancy modern designer library

Mysterious miniature orange plant

old friends
