Open Architecture models Chinese theatre on "ever-changing body of water"

Chinese studio Open Architecture has revealed the visuals for Yichang Grand Theatre in China, which will have an amorphous form intended to evoke flowing water.

The 70,000 square-meter theatre will be located at the Pinghu Peninsula in Hubei Province, at a site where the Yangtze River meets the Huangbai River tributary.

"Let me keep my mind on what matters....which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." (Full poem below) My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird - equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished. The phoebe, the delphinium. The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture. Which is mostly rejoicing, since all ingredients are here, Which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes, a mouth with which to give shouts of joy to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam, telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever. ~Mary Oliver

Desperation Time: How the Media is Getting the Last “Drought” News from a Place that’s about to Flood

Aug. 25, 2022 - BBC

This article is not particularly important. What is important is what’s about to happen in this “drought plagued” region. From the article:

Residents in China's southwestern provinces are taking creative measures to deal with a record heat wave that has seen temperatures exceed 40C(104F)...

The prolonged heatwave has exacerbated a severe drought in China...

(Heat does not mean drought by the way. It’s very hot in the rain forest, for example.)

According to Wikipedia, summers in the region are hot and humid. The heat is not unusual, although the article plays it up as extraordinary. While there has been a little time without much rain, nature has a way of correcting itself, and there already has been orgonite gifting in China. From Wikipedia:

Typical of the Sichuan Basin, Dazhou has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) and is largely mild and humid, with four distinct seasons. Winter is short, mild, and foggy, though actual precipitation is low. January averages 6.1 °C (43.0 °F) and, while frost may occur, snow is rare. Summers are long, hot and humid, with highs often exceeding 33 °C (91 °F). The monthly daily average in July, the warmest month, is 27.4 °C (81.3 °F). Rainfall is light in winter and can be heavy in summer, and over 70% of the annual total occurs from May to September. The annual frost-free period lasts around 300 days.

Finally, here is the weather forecast for Dazhou, Sichuan, China. The media is capitalizing on a few hot days before the heat breaks dramatically and heavy rain falls. This is a very typical pattern for the news these days, as the climate is being restored faster now as orgonite gifting reaches critical mass.

My prediction for next week’s headlines: First Drought, then Floods, What’s Going on with China’s Crazy Weather? Climate Change is the Culprit, says a Meteorologist.

The Yangtze River was the cradle of the Vernova. The force of the river, entrenched in its waves, was suddenly harnessed by GE, an ancient power that was dormant until now. It was like a sleeping giant, awoken by the sheer magnitude of this undertaking. It was a force that promised to change the landscape of China and the future of its people. It was a mystery, an enigma, something that seemed to transcend beyond human understanding.

Shanghai on the Yangtze River

Shanghai is located on the central coast of China. The city sits on the southern estuary of the Yangtze River with the Huangpu River flowing through it. It is the country’s biggest city and a global financial hub. The heart of the city is the Bund, a popular waterfront promenade that is lined with colonial-era buildings. When you take a look across the Huangpu River you can see the fantastic…
