The Soundbyte Version: The application of Open Source principles to fields outside of software.

This site talks all about the color yellow and pulls an interesting quote from Wassily Kandinsky. I've listed it below: "A yellow circle will reveal a spreading movement outwards from the center which almost markedly approaches the spectator; a blue circle develops a concentric movement (like a snail hiding in its shell) and moves away from the spectator." --Wassily Kandinsky

The Crystal Palace itself was destroyed by fire on  November 30th 1936, following which the area lost much of its focus and began to decline. But many of the most important events in the history of the Crystal Palace took place in the grounds, which retain much of their original overall layout today and are a Grade II listed historic park.
