The Roman district of Garbatella was designed in 1920 by famous architects and intended for the working class of the time. The style is the "Roman late baroque", with sinuous shapes that give life to neo-medieval buildings.
the whole district, with the fountains, the buildings, the balconies, the villas, the stuccoes and the green spaces, recalls this concept of the Garden City and can be considered a large open-air monument as well as an example of humanistic architecture
dictionary: "An architect is a person who plans, designs and oversees the construction of buildings"
That's like saying Picasso put paint on canvas...
Where once there was only sky we now have 'The Sky'. - Not just a building occupying space, but an entity becoming part of that space.
In the architect's imagination they envisioned the direct relationship between the physical sky and clouds to the reflected clouds. The soft sky to the Euclidean lines of their structure. - together through their relationship they each achieve presence.
photo: a matter of gradation. As a raging storm approached from behind I aimed toward the tranquil blue sky before me. Capturing the east and west, blues turned gray, the air cooled as the breeze angered to a wind.
In reality all credit for this photo goes to the architect. I just saw what they wanted me to see.

This Greenhouse was built between 1892 and 1905 by the architect Alfonse Balat for King Leopold II. It has the shape of a church. The iron construction elements are decorated with Art Nouveau floral motifs. The central part is dug with three meter deep pits (1945 and 1987) to accommodate fan palms that have grown too big.

NL: Palmenserre in het Koninklijk Domein
De ''Palmenserre'' werd gebouwd tussen 1892 en 1905 door de architect Alfonse Balat voor Koning Leopold II. Die heeft de vorm van een kerk. Sommige spanten van het metalen gebinte zijn versierd met platen met vegetale motieven in art-nouveaustijl. In het centrale gedeelte zijn drie meter diepe kuilen gegraven (1945 en 1987) om te vermijden dat het gebladerte van de palmen het dak zou doorboren.

Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.

Das Kubushaus (auch Kubuswohnung, Baumhaus) ist ein Entwurfsmuster für Wohngebäude, das von dem Architekten Piet Blom auf der Basis von würfelförmigen, auf einer Ecke stehenden Baukörpern entwickelt wurde. In Helmond und Rotterdam wurden zwei Gebäudekomplexe errichtet, die modular aus diesen Baukörpern zusammengesetzt wurden.
Der Kubus mit der Kantenlänge von 7,5 Metern ist gekippt und steht auf einer Ecke, so dass drei Seiten nach unten und drei nach oben zeigen. Blom sprach von „Straßenhaus“ und „Himmelshaus“.

Glanmore was completed in 1883 for John Philpot Curran Phillips. The building was designed by Thomas Hanley, a Belleville architect who was born in Read.
This impressive yellow brick house reflects the architectural style of the eclectic Second Empire. It features an irregular shape, with bay windows and projections; iron cresting outlining the main roof; a coloured, fish-scale pattern of slates on the concave mansard roof; wide eaves supported on carved brackets, and the original wooden eavest roughs. Stone trimmed windows and doorways have semi-circular and elliptical heads, and wood trim ornaments the semi circular heads of the dormers windows

Conçu par les architectes Pierre Bossan et Wilhelm Léo, l'édifice est construit entre 1855 et 1876, puis consacré le 7 juillet 1889 par Joseph-Alfred Foulon, archevêque de Lyon. Il est dédié « à Saint Maurice et ses compagnons », comme le rappelle une inscription en latin sur le fronton.
Le bâtiment a une forme d'ensemble trapue, rectangulaire de la façade jusqu'au transept, à peine saillant à l'extérieur, avec une abside semi-cylindrique de hauteur presque égale. Il est construit en pierres de taille régulièrement alignées selon un agencement original : sur toute la hauteur, un niveau intercalaire de pierres calcaires ordinaires (blanc-gris) souligne deux niveaux de « pierres de Couzon », célèbres pour leur teinte dorée, ici quelque peu atténuée par l'âge. Un rang de pierres saillantes et décorées entoure l'ensemble aux deux-tiers de la hauteur.
La couverture est réalisée en tuiles « romanes » (tuiles canal), ce qui correspond à la tradition locale pour les maisons individuelles mais est rare pour un édifice de ce type. Le toit principal à double pente couvre les trois nefs sans discontinuité.
L'ornementation est d'inspiration néoromane. Le portail est encadré de colonnes à chapiteaux et surmonté d'un arc de plein cintre encadrant un fronton sculpté. Il est entouré de deux niches à colonnettes contenant les statues de Saint Laurent et de Saint Vincent. Les fenêtres sont d'un module unique, étroit et surmonté d'un arc, simples pour l'abside mais doubles ou triples sur la façade et les flancs, en harmonie avec le clocher, dont le style roman est d'origine. Le haut de l'abside est orné de mâchicoulis décoratifs, prolongés en festons le long du reste du bâtiment.

Dumbarton Central railway station serves the town of Dumbarton in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. This station is on the West Highland Line and the North Clyde Line, 15 3⁄4 miles (25.3 km) northwest of Glasgow Queen Street. Quoted from Wikipedia
Since I began this McLean County series on March 2 of this year, the name of the Bloomington architect George H. Miller (1856-1927) has been mentioned countless times. Miller was the first architect to practice for any substantial period in Bloomington. He designed many public buildings, churches, office buildings, and private homes in Bloomington and the surrounding area, He also served as Superintendent of U.S. Buildings and designed many federal buildings throughout the midwest.
Many of the buildings Miller designed are now listed in the National Register of Historic Places or have achieved local landmark status. Between 1880 and 1910, it can be argued Miller had a greater impact on the appearance of Bloomington than any other single individual. This is particularly true in the period following the Great Fire of 1900 that, in a matter of eight hours, reduced 45 buildings and 4-1/2 blocks in the core of downtown Bloomington to little more than smoking rubble, including the 1868 McLean County Courthouse.
Miller's major works in downtown Bloomington that previously been posted in this McLean County, Illinois series includes the Central Fire Station, Chatterton Opera House, Corn Belt Bank Building, Livingston Building, H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works (a.k.a. Jung & Kleinau Building), George Brand Building, and the Elder Building.
This view shows Miller's house on W. Market St., five blocks northwest of the old McLean County Courthouse. Miller built this home in 1890 three years after his marriage to Rose Stautz, and lived here for the remainder of his life. The house is representative of a grander west side Bloomington home where many wealthier German Americans lived.
The Miller House is an eclectic variation on the Queen Anne design. Some have labeled the style as being Victorian Gothic, but the house does not rest well in any formal category. It is in a very real sense an expression of the architect's own personality, eclectic in detail but unified in overall conception.
The house features a hexagonal tower on its southeast corner and a conical dormer projecting from the front of the multi-component roof. The front entrance is arched and flanked by columns; small recessed porches are located above the entrance and on the east side of the house. The house also has several stained glass windows. The property was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 20, 1978.
It is disappointing to see how the George H. Miller House has been neglected. It is in need of substantial work to restore it to its historic appearance and, so far at least, I have come across no evidence that this is happening or is planned.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is home to State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and Beer Nuts. Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring twin city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

"Crescent House"
- Charred cedar, stained cedar, stained spotted gum, timber framing, steel beam, aluminium plate, micaceous iron oxide.
Looking back from whence we entered the "Crescent House" we see how the architect has played with darkness, light and geometry. Unfortunately the charred cedar is easily marked, but those little holes create the impression of starlight against a night sky.
