دوباره یانون‌دیزاین

قریب به نه ماه از آخرین پست انتشاری یانون‌دیزاین می‌گذرد! و دقیق‌تر قریب به یک سال از کم فعالیت‌ شدن و خسته‌ شدن یانون‌دیزاین!

یانون‌دیزاین تا پیش از این یک سال، با جامعه بزرگ و علاقه‌مندی از حوزه طراحی ، معماری و هنر آمیخته شده بود. خیلی‌ها در سال‌های ۸۶ که فقط به فرستادن ایمیل‌های گاه‌به‌گاه دیزاین به صندوق ایمیلی معدودی از دوستان ورودی ۸۵ دانش‌گاه هنرم مشغول بودم تا همین آغاز سال ۹۶ ، کم کم روزانه با ایمیل روزنامه یانون‌دیزاین، سیر اینترنتی خودشان در جهان هنر و طراحی را شروع می‌کردند. خیلی‌ها ابراز لطف فراوانی را در این سال‌ها به تیم فعال یانون‌دیزاین ابراز کرده‌اند و همین خیلی‌ها و بسیاری که منتقدانه و تیزبین همیشه ما را مدنظر داشتند، عمده انرژی و انگیزه پیش‌برد حرکت یانون‌دیزاین بودند. 

واقعیت آن است که مسائلی شخصی برای یک‌سالی این حرکت را متوقف کرد... اما عمده انگیزه‌ای که این سال‌ها پشت یانون‌دیزاین بود و اتفاقات خوبی که پیرامون آن در سال‌های گذشته افتاده بود مانع آن می‌شد که به کل یانون‌دیزاین را فراموش کنیم....

ما به امید خدا از امروز یعنی ابتدای اردی‌بهشت ۹۷ دوباره با انگیزه شروع خواهیم کرد. با هم از جهان هنر و طراحی خواهیم دید.... روزانه و پابه‌پای تحولاتی که در پیرامون‌ ماست.

Magnificent & Weird Trees

پنجشنبه, ۳۰ تیر ۱۳۹۰، ۱۲:۰۰ ق.ظ
راستش شک داشتم و دارم که این پست خیلی مورد توجه تون قرار بگیره
حاوی عکس هایی جالب بود از درختان و گیاهانی که هرکدوم به نحوی با تجربه‌های مرسوم ما از درخت و گل و گیاه تفاوت داره. امید که براتون دیدنی باشن.
"هر کس در زیر درخت انگور و انجیر خود خواهد نشست....." (منسوب به میخای نبی)

"Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree" --Micah 4:4
By the end of this article you might reconsider sitting only under a "fig tree". There are some extremely fantastic trees in this world: exotic, fragrant, fruitful, and simply beautiful. It is summertime in most countries now, so let's pause in a shadow of some of these exceptional living beings (even if you do not believe in "Ents", you will agree that some trees will have incredible stories to tell...).
Probably the most otherworldly and mysteriously named of them all is the Dragon Blood Tree, which we discussed in our Socotra Island article The Most Alien-looking Landscape on Earth:

The red resin that the tree produces is used (predictably) in lipsticks, ritual magic and alchemy. In voodoo rituals it seems to attract either love, or money (it's never both, you know) or can simply be used as a breath freshener, or toothepaste. The aptly named Cannonball tree (common to northen parts of South America and Caribbean) often requires a warning sign under it:

The fruits will fall down once ripe, and since they are more than ten inches in diameter, they can easily kill you. So park planners try not to plant these trees close to sidewalks and paths.

Once you come closer, however (exercising extreme caution, of course), you can observe wonderfully-shaped flowers:

Another exotic tree with fantastic flowers is the Bombax Tree, also known as "Silk Cotton Tree":

(image via)
This tree belongs to a baobab family, originates from India and brings a lot of color to many streets in Middle East and Asia (especially in Israel and India). It has large red flowers (Bombax ceiba means 'Orange Glow') - so intensely colored that they seem almost made out of plastic:

Another flower variety for this tree (this time from Hawaii):

Apparently this magnificent tree can be grown in miniature, like a bonsai tree, out of a single planted seed (left). On the right is Bombax Ellipticum, shaped like a turtle's shell:

On the image below right is the strange bark of the Red Silk Cotton Tree (Bombax malabaricum):

(images via 1, 2)
The demon of death... enveloped in Bombax roots
One kind of the Bombax tree even has a sinister story associated with it:
"According to the folklore of Trinidad and Tobago, the Castle of the Devil is a huge silk cotton tree growing deep in the forest in which Bazil the demon of death was imprisoned by a carpenter. The carpenter tricked the devil into entering the tree in which he carved seven rooms, one above the other, into the trunk. Folklore claims that Bazil still resides in that tree."


(Angkor Wat, Cambodia - image via, and at Ta Prom Temple, via)
Here is a giant Bombax tree, obviously mighty and wise, at the Ta Prom temple in Cambodia (left) - and another huge bombax root in India (right):

(images by Katandewan, via; right image via)
Another incredible tangle of roots can be found at Lake Camecuaro, Mexico, in Michoacan area - these are massive cypress trees standing in water:

"Upside-Down Trees" and The Avenue of Baobabs
Speaking of baobabs... The Monkey Bread Tree can come in many weird shapes, like the bottle shape on the right (Teapot Baobab)... or it can reach to the sky with the bare root-like branches, creating the illusion of being planted "upside down" (left):

(right image credit: Giles Croissant)
Baobabs store water in their swollen trunks - as much as 31,700 gallon (120,000 l) of water. Some empty trunks were so big that they were routinely used as prisons in Western Australia. One such prison tree can fit up to 5 people inside:

So what about "monkey bread" name? The fruits of baobab are also called the "Judas Fruit" (the fruit has 30 seeds inside, like 30 "pieces of silver"). The beautiful creamy white flowers (right) are pollinated by bats:

These grand trees can be photographed the best at the Baobab Avenue, near Morondava, in Madagascar:

This spot is one of the most magical on Earth, and easily could be called One of the Seventh Wonders of Africa. It reminds me of some of fantasy landscape art, for example "The Renegades of Pern" by Michael Whelan - see it here.
The Most Sheltering Tree & The Walking Tree
We started by speaking about sitting under a fig tree. Well, there is a huge fig tree, with a wonderfully spread out shadow. It's the Banyan Tree (Ficus benghalensis), the National Tree of India, also called the Bengal Fig. Here it is in Hawaii:

(image credit: Billy Crafton)
In India people worship under this tree, wandering between the strands of mighty aerial roots - the tree can grow as large as the whole city block, for example the Great Banyan Tree, which is a forest in itself:

(image via)
At one point it was "the widest tree in the world in terms of the area of the canopy... A 330 m long road was built around its circumference, but the tree continues to spread beyond it."
This is not a forest, but a single tree with multiple aerial roots! -

(image via)
"The circumference of the whole complex of trees grown from the one central ancestor - still very much alive and all connected to it by the roots visible well over human height - is measured in kilometers."
Speaking of the aerial roots, or "legs" with which a tree can reach into the ground and thus "extend" itself - there is a Walking Tree (more info) equipped with the unusual "stilt roots", which supposedly make it more stable... or let the tree wander at night? (just kidding)

More trees to slowly grow on you and make your mind branch out in every direction
Jacaranda tree with beautiful purple flowers (A Jewel of Australia and New Zealand):

Very interesting Elephant Apple Tree (Dillenia Indica), found mostly in India:

(images via)
Some unusually shaped trees, found around the world: naturally shaped by wind and elements -





(original unknown)
- and shaped by humans as part of arboreal art (we wrote an article about such artists - Living, Growing Architecture):


(originals unknown)
Even dead trees can be incredibly expressive:

Probably the most enchanting tree image... so Tolkien-esque that you can almost hear the elves singing:

آن درخت های بزرگ را دیدید؟! و در میان آن ها بائوباب ها را؟! این موجودات شگفت آور تنومند. من یاد شازده کوچولو افتادم. خیلی نگران بود که بائوبابی در سیاره ی کوچکش بروید و رشد کند. زندگی بائوباب در آن کره ی کوچک مساوی بود با از هم پاشیدن سیاره ی شازده کوچولو. و مرگ گلش. الان دقیقا گفته های شازده کوچولو را به یاد ندارم. نمی دانم از بائوباب ها بدش می آمد. یا فقط می خواست آن جا نرویند. 
می بینید بائوبابی را که من و احتمالا شما این همه دوست داریم. یک نفر را چه قدر نگران می کند؟ بائوباب بد نیست. سراسر خوبی است. اگر شازده کوچولو از آن بدش می آید. یا نه  بدش نمی آید. فقط نگران می شود. به خاطر کوچکی سیاره اش است. بعضی موجودات هم برای ما مانند بائوباب هستند برای شازده کوچولو. مار. عقرب. رتیل. باکتری. ویروس. این ها هم همان قدر زندگی خود را دوست دارند. که بائوباب و گنجشک و شازده کوچولو. هیچ چیز مطلقا بد نیست..
