WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2001-2022
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Ghost: You’re an architect. So tell me: Does that addition seem safe? Why? There are some engineering concepts in that “corner office” that I do not understand. Would you have an office in such an addition?
Could be safe Mike, don’t have enough information from that pik.
The part that is sticking out in midair is called a “cantilever condition”.
The part that was there all along is called the span, but we can’t tell from the pik how long the span is. The basic rule of thumb is, you can cantilever up to 1/3 of the span.
Just a guess, that the lowest level cantilever protrudes out from the wall about 20 feet.
So, the floor joists that support that cantilever must go back into the existing span at least 60 feet. 1/3 of 60 = 20.
The hovering one is a little bit different, but still doable.
In architecture all things are possible, if you have enough money.
What we have right here is an illustration of government policies solving the homeless problem.
sorry to burst your bubbles…
it’s not photoshopped;
it’s trompe-l’oeil.
do you see the link under the pic?

“Shozy, whose real name is Danila Shmelev, was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1989.
From childhood, he felt an urge to draw. Upon discovering the first graffiti in Moscow, he felt a wild energy in this artistic and visual manifestation.
In 2000, Danila produced her first work.
For three years he studied graphic design at MHPI, Moscow, Russia, after which he spent 3 years in the fine arts studio of Ilykhin Boris.
In 2010, Shozy found his unique and hyperrealistic 3D style, always taking an interest in various aspects of graffiti culture.
In 2015, he tried his hand at street art for the first time. Since 2016, he has participated in many street art festivals in Russia.
In 2017, he participated for the first time in a street art festival abroad – in Dubai, where he received the second place among the great artists present. Since then he has participated in many graffiti festivals as a participant and judge.
Shozy works in a hyperrealistic way, using the elements of the’anamorphosis and trompe-l’oeil, by studying the possibilities of’3d art and geometry.
Over the years, Shozy has painted murals in Russia, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy and the United Arab Emirates. He has also participated in group exhibitions of urban art in Italy and France.
Like that dood that does the sidewalk art, these things only work from one specific spot. If you step to the side a foot the whole illusion is blown.
