to the belmont journal your source for hyper local news and community updates i'm my crowley your host this week just a reminder you can participate in early voting until november nd at belmont town hall it's really easy i did it myself so you can too and if you miss the early voting no problems just get out and vote on november th when adam dashes personal hobbies is collecting memory historical memorabilia from belmont's past recently he stumbled across a trove of materials photos dating to world war one from one belmont veteran memorabilia as i sometimes do in my free time just to see what's out there and i came across an antique store online in arizona these private collection of well one memorabilia from private leroy man of belmont on seven tool for the end of the war that's why we want to do it now to give the society enough time between now and november th when the anniversary is to create boards or present whatever they want to do with it but the good news is they're going to display it in some fashion and don some post cards and there's a lot of memorabilia paper a family and it's great that's coming back to belmont after one hundred years of this week in the citizen herald belmont's online and print news source and welcome back joanna jubal us senior multimedia journalist with the citizen herald make you make of really happy to be here so i debt exclusion vote is getting closer november th i thought it would be a good idea to do a story about the features of the new building that the current building does not have or the number one thing that's going to be very much improved is the security of this new for sound that's important to so many parents so many parents i went through the plans with superintendent john failon and he showed me how the the upper school and the lower school each have their own entrance but it exterior doors when they do open will send a signal to the main office as well as the school resource officer or this office that's important i think so the school will also be bigger and have more flexible almost double the size of the current building you know hope you know with the capacity for two thousand five hundred students it's well i think in the future part of that is also because it's two schools exactly and they were they had so many meetings with parents and educators and students as they even went to new schools or other i'm sorry other schools exactly they visited other schools because they wanted to make this a school that will serve belmont for fifty or more years and hance teaching and learning right all the goals that they have so the big thing is flexible spaces which means the classrooms will have many of the class as can be made bigger or smaller with movable furniture and lots of areas for kids to spread out and do group projects that's that's important because current labs are very much out of date and the other big thing i would say is a lot of natural light if anyone's who seen the interior plans see that there's a lot of glass everywhere a lot of outdoor views very different from the current building which were very dark dark very dark the brand new auditoriums worth mentioning you know more ripped chairs they'll still have a little theater as well i think it will mean i know that more bicycle racks for students to encourage them to bike to school and i think the big thing too is this net zero energy design so it's going to be geothermal i believe and and and ultimately by net zero it means that you know we're not drawing electricity for heating and cooling we're not using natural gas exactly very green and over time we'll save the town money or we're not paying any more energy exactly so i hope you know people will pick up a copy of the paper it's also online read read more about it and then you'll be a more educated voter on november th all that's important well thank you so much joanna and we'll talk with you next time thank you now it's time for

similar to other installations i've done in the past using architectural structures that look like they're in the midst of creation or collapse so in this particular piece the architecture looks like it's rolling toward a structure back here almost as if it's about to collapse into that structure behind it my use of color is very cartoon like and very bright i use a lot of pattern in my work and that's a way of creating architecture that looks like it's a cartoon exaggeration  and causes them to ask questions and really be a part of creating the meaning of the word and now it's time for
