George Rickey his kinetic sculpture on Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam. "Three Columns" from 1989 is a great wind play where elegant movements are created simply with a precise use of hinges. It made me think of the beautiful blue sculpture in Vienna.

A rainbow. Still miraculous how simple raindrops can break light up into its spectral 'rainbow' colors. Precise, isn't it? (spotted in Waldviertel from the "Himmelsstiege" during a summer weekend, [google maps link])

Found these images of the Bergpolderflat [see previous posting] still in my archive. It shows so nice the simplicity of its idea

The Bergpolderflat was the first gallery flat in the Nederlands build in 1933 / 1934. Architect is Willem van Tijen together with Brinkman en van der Vlugt. The construction method in steel was part of their prefabrication concept which should seduce developers to invest in public housing. See also (Architectenweb). It's still a miraculous building. Surrounded by the traditional urban planning of architect M.J. Granpré Molierè it is standing inside a courtyard in stead of around a courtyard. See Bergpolder, Rotterdam [map link]

Precision in the ordinary? A gas station below an office slab. (seen in Rotterdam [maps link])
