Ang lahok ko para sa LP sa linggong ito ay nailathala ko na sa aking food blog noong Mayo ng nakaraang taon.  Tamang-tama siya sa tema ngayong linggong ito ng LP kaya naman pinili kong ilathala siyang muli dito.  Hindi ko na isasaling ang kasalutan sa wikang Pilipino.  Ito na lang panimula ang isasa-Tagalog ko.

Alam niyo bang mga hiwa ng kahel ang isa sa mga naging inspirasyon sa disenyo ng isang sikat na gusali sa Australia?  Magenjoy sana kayo sa pagbabasa…

oOo

Once upon a time, I was a student of Architecture.  I loved learning about the world’s greatest architects, their works and the inspiration behind them.  It often surprised me that simple, ordinary, everyday objects were often the inspiration to numerous notable structures around the globe.  Like these…

What building do these oranges remind you of?  Nothing?  Maybe this will trigger something…

There.  How about that?  Any structure in mind?  Maybe it will help if I cut off a portion from each of the segments and arrange them a certain way…

Here’s another pic…

Believe it or not, mandarin segments, in addition to sails on a yacht and ribbed palm leaves served as inspiration to the design of the Sydney Opera House.

This marvel of architecture was designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon.  Ain’t he great?

By the way, don’t forget to rince your oranges before eating them, ok?  It doesn’t matter whether your sink has Moen faucets or another brand.

oOo
