#business district

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was walking in a business district that was bizarrely empty except for a McDonald’s and an Argentine food truck with a line leading to it. I had a bocadillo sandwich and fries from it.

Also, the guy said he was from Argentina but the food truck had the Uruguayan Flag on it for some reason.

Valley Towers 

The building distinguishes itself in several ways: firstly, it combines offices, shops, catering, cultural facilities, and apartments in one building; secondly, unlike the closed-off buildings elsewhere in the Zuidas, the green valley that winds between the towers on the fourth and fifth floors is accessible to everyone via two external stone staircases. The building’s extensive planting, designed by landscape architect Piet Oudolf, hosts approximately 13,500 young plants, shrubs, and trees. As these mature over the coming years, they will give Valley an increasingly green appearance, making the building a manifesto for a greener city.

Valley is an attempt to bring a green and human dimension back to the inhospitable office environment of Amsterdam Zuidas. It is a building with multiple faces; on the outer edges of the building is a shell of smooth mirrored glass, which fits the context of the business district. Inside this shell, the building has a completely different, more inviting natural appearance, as if the glass block has crumbled away to reveal craggy rock faces inside replete with natural stone and greenery.

Book-shaped building to revive Busan's fading book street

BUSAN ― It's 10 a.m. on a sunny April day in Busan's Bosu-dong. Off the main road is the blink-and-you'll-miss-it entrance to Bosu Book Street. The narrow, 200-meter-long passage is lined on both sides with independent bookstores.

by Kwak Yeon-soo

The bookstore alley in Bosu-dong was formed when a refugee couple from North Hamgyong Province (now North Korea) started selling vintage magazines when Busan became the country's provisional capital during the 1950-53 Korean War.

By the 1970s, more than 70 bookstores were established in the area, giving the neighborhood a unique character and spirit. "Bosu Book Street is our beautiful cultural heritage that was born out of the most turbulent time in modern Korean history. Since then, the street has retained its old charms. People overcame despair and healed the wounds of war through books," Kim Eun-ho, the president of Hangilsa Publishing, writes in his latest book "Into the Forest of Wisdom" (literal translation). Since the 2000s, the number of independent bookstores on Bosu Book Street has fallen by more than half due to the expansion of chain bookstores and e-books. Now some 30 bookstores remain on the road.

This is a great example of how the entire community including other businesses and retailers can come together and support institutional booksellers. (click through to the article and watch the nice video outlining the building and the history of Bosu Book Street) ~ eP

the Business District’s largest skyscraper draws your eye almost immediately, as it’s the largest structure around for miles and miles.  it goes up so high, you can’t even see the top!

Typical girls night out 😌 anyways what I had in mind for this was (district era) Alaska trying to handle a land simply too lawless and dangerous. But he’s too bitter at the world to be taken out smh. Soapy Smith is gonna have to do a little more than that

Nvm he just threw up raspberry juice 💔 (he was jumped idk how he’s still walking)

#alaska stood on business from department to district to territory he wasn’t letting things slide he was most definitely a moose #nowadays he just takes a really good nap and life is okay. I don’t blame him #welcome to the statehouse #ben brainard #wttt fan art #wttt fanart #wttt headcanons #wttsh #wttt alaska #wttsh fanart #wttsh alaska #wttt #welcome to the table

are you kidding me, i knew that it was easy to get by in amsterdam with english, but i didn't want to be one of those presumptuous anglophones, so i practiced over and over what my coffee order would be. i got to the front of the line, and i ask with my best practiced accent "mag ik een kopje koffie, geen suiker, geen melk, alstublieft?" and the barista looks me dead in the eyes and says "sorry, i don't speak dutch, can you say it in english?" like??? we're literally in the netherlands and the barisita doesn't speak dutch??? how is that possible??? how did he get the job???

#i'm in the business district cause reasons but still #that just doesn't feel right to me... #linguistics #sociolinguistics #dutch #personal
