    Port of San Francisco Embarcadero Historic District Piers Request for Interest In this Request for Interest (RFI), the Port is seeking responses with public-oriented concepts for sites in the Embarcadero Historic District in two categories: (1) Full building(s) or "Master Tenant" Responses or (2) Less than full building or "Smaller Tenant" Responses. Respondents in the Master Tenant category have a vision for entire buildings, including one or more structures named in this RFI. Master Tenant respondents have the experience to execute a complex rehabilitation project for an historic structure over water and to operate such a facility under a long-term lease. Respondents in the Smaller Tenant category are experienced in operating the proposed use and in managing a tenant improvement construction project. Respondents should assume the facility will be in a cold shell condition in their response. Respondents who feel they qualify for both categories (a Master Tenant candidate that also operates a public-oriented use) are invited to respond to all information below. All answers are non-binding and will help the Port generate a better understanding of the possibilities for the future of the Embarcadero Historic District piers. View the RFI: http://bit.ly/sfport-piers-r. Learn more: https://sfport.com/historic-pier-opportunities-partnership.

  • Miniatur Wunderland Arriva Su Google Street View Di Redazione
    da News modellismo del 15 gennaio 2016 Miniatur Wunderland arriva su Google Street View di Redazione Anche il mondo dei treni in miniatura arriva su Google Street View. Da pochi giorni il grande plastico Miniatur Wunderland di Amburgo è "visitabile" virtualmente in ogni minimo particolare comodamente da casa attraverso la funzione Street View di Google. Per un anno intero lo staff di Google e di Miniatur Wunderland hanno sperimentato diversi sistemi per fotografare nel migliore dei modi il più grande plastico ferroviario al mondo, ospitato negli ex magazzini portuali di Amburgo, nella Germania del nord. Il risultato lascia a bocca aperta con immagini panoramiche a 360° che restituiscono visuali dell'impianto impossibili per il comune visitatore con prospettive da "Wunderlanders" in 1:87! L'interno del terminal aeroportuale di Knuffingen o ancora Las Vegas Boulevard svelano i dettagli più nascosti ed invisibili da fuori, ma non per questo riprodotti con minore dovizia di particolari; non sono da meno la stazione di Amburgo, gli angoli della Baviera, i paesaggi invernali della Scandinavia e della Svizzera, ma soprattutto le linee ferroviarie su cui è possibile "viaggiare", immagine dopo immagine, con la visuale del macchinista in H0!
