'The Lock at Pontoise' By Pissarro

Paul Durand-Ruel invested in Pissarro after the artist had lost almost his entire life's work, over 1,000 of his paintings, pillaged in the Franco-Prussian War. 'The Lock at Pontoise', painted when he returned to France from London can be seen in our exhibition 'Inventing Impressionism' which opens this Wednesday.http://bit.ly/1LifAfk

Google 矽谷新總部方案曝光，模塊化街區可隨時變形

2015 年 2 月 28 日 Google 公司矽谷新總部方案曝光，將現有的山景城總部重新設計建造，打造可變換、半透明的辦公設施，牆壁、天花板、地板都可以在數小時內調整重組，山景城將成為 Google 街區，Google 預期新總部有望在 2020 年完成首個街區的建設。

Google 矽谷總部的新方案是在山景城現有格局中進行大幅度的改造和升級，打造一個巨大的可移動半透明天花板，為所有的建築和綠植加了一個頂，外層設計有智慧型遮蔽系統，可保證光照和控制地面溫度。該總部不會新建大量的混凝土永久建築，而是使用機器人控制牆壁、地面，在數小時內就可調整地面建築結構，任何小的建造物都可以調整位置，模塊化組合。

Google 將變換的建築群稱為輕型街區，公司總部可根據產品工程師的需求不斷改變，每一處的光照和空氣流通速度都可以控制。隨著 Google 總部越來越大，矽谷山景城儼然變成了 Google 城，新總部也強化了對周圍社區的功能輻射作用，為本地居民創造了一個城市中心區，大量綠植和步行道可由Google 員工和山景城居民共享。

Google 新總部的方案能夠順利實施還需要等待山景城市議會的決定，由於該城市的土地開發資源不多，Google 需要與 LinkedIn 爭奪該地區的開發權，一旦市議會選擇了 Google 的方案，LinkedIn 公司的方案就會擱置，顯然山景城不急於決定哪家公司的方案會勝出。
