#蛇型藝廊夏日展亭
位於倫敦肯辛頓公園內的蛇型藝廊Serpentine Gallery，從2000年開始，每年夏天都會邀請建築師設計為期三個月的臨時展亭建築 - Serpentine Gallery Pavilion，作為派對、展覽或演講使用。
而邀請的建築師必須從未在英國已有其他建築作品，意即受邀的建築師所設計的蛇型藝廊夏日展亭是該建築師在英國的第一件作品。
2019年獲邀的建築師是日本近期相當收到矚目的石上純也。
擅長以反映自然現象、重新詮釋傳統建築元素的石上純也，以「屋頂」為發想，運用大量的板岩為主要媒材，打造出一座彷彿從草坪上長出來的小山丘。
由輕質的支柱支撐、堆疊層層石板的展亭令人訝異地呈現一種獨特的輕盈感，並與周圍的環境完美融合，充分展現石上純也一貫地「自然空間」理念。
炎炎夏日，從海德公園漫步至此，不僅感受濃蔭綠意，還能見到熟悉的亞洲建築師作品，開心的勒～～💕

【關於Emoji在英國人心目中的重要地位】
有了智慧型手機後
Emoji就成爲英國人心目中
在聊天時ㄧ定要附加的表情符號
在台灣大家都用Line
似乎已經很少人使用what's app
但在英國的大家
卻始終如一的用了六年
不管是從同學 朋友到同事們
每個人ㄧ定都有what's app
而且非常喜歡建立群組
在我的what's app裏
就有ㄧ群朋友聊天的
有同學互相討論課業的
有同事間討論工作的各種群組
然而很多不瞭解英國人的朋友
可能會覺得他們很冷酷
但其實相處過後
他們驕傲卻不高傲
還非常有禮貌及友善
而且從每次聊天的Emoji符號
當發出訊息的各式各樣可愛表情
總讓我覺得他們根本和小孩一樣
😄😃😀😊☺️😉😍😘😚😗😜😜😛😛😳
不過當我給他們看Line的貼圖時
英國人的反應卻是覺得那太可愛了
他們不喜歡太誇張會動的Stickers
內心裏還是偏向這剛剛好的Emoji
因為這些圖案
已經足夠讓他們表達ㄧ切的心情故事
由於Emoji實在太紅了
最近還有用Emoji Quiz
來猜猜倫敦地名 地標和街道
其實就算是倫敦人
或在倫敦住過好多年的人
不一定每個地方都去過
更不見得能聯想到
有些單字更是很英式的用語
還是很難全部猜對
大家可以來試試看
很多題都非常有趣
下面為答案公佈
你們猜對了幾個?

Munich. Long bonnet, short overhangs, low centre of gravity, soft top: the sporty two-seater doing its laps at the BMW test centre in Miramas in the south of France is instantly recognisable as a purebred roadster. The new BMW Z4 is currently undergoing another particularly important stage of the process towards serial production maturity, in this case involving driving dynamics testing of a heavily disguised prototype. This will provide key insights into the performance properties of the new model, whose genuine roadster characteristics, pure driving pleasure and captivating sporty flair will soon go out on public roads.
Trials at the Autodrome de Miramas are focusing on fine-tuning of all drive and suspension systems – the basis for the sporty driving experience offered by the new BMW Z4. The most intense form of new dynamic roadster performance is embodied by the BMW Z4 M40i. A new, extremely powerful in-line 6-cylinder engine, a lowered sports suspension with electronically controlled dampers, a newly developed front axle, M light alloy wheels with mixed tyres, an M sports brake system and an electronically controlled lock in the rear axle differential create an overall package that sees the BMW M Performance model setting a whole new benchmark for driving pleasure in the roadster segment.
"The vehicle concept of the new BMW Z4 is geared consistently towards agility and driving dynamics," explains Jos van As, Head of Application Suspension. "The high level of body stiffness and the very rigid suspension attachment provide the perfect basis for a set-up that guarantees the performance qualities of a genuine sports car in terms of steering precision as well as longitudinal and transverse acceleration."
Like the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the Miramas test centre offers perfect conditions for the new BMW Z4 to demonstrate its driving dynamics potential. Used by BMW to develop and test new models for more than 30 years, the centre comprises a long asphalt oval and a motorway ring road for high-speed tests as well as slalom, serpentine and circular tracks and a number of handling courses and circuits featuring highly diverse types of surface. These are currently being used for detailed analysis and optimisation of the roadster's acceleration, steering and brake response. For example, the final form of the adaptive M suspension as it interacts with the rear axle limited-slip differential is developed on a circuit that is also used for testing purposes by BMW Motorsport.
This intense testing process already indicates that the new version of the roadster concept will offer a tangible increase in sporty flair in the new BMW Z4. The new generation will particularly introduce effective enhancements in terms of agile handling, spontaneity and precision when changing direction and accelerating in dynamic style out of bends – without losing out in the comfort disciplines.
