The Triclinium Leoninum consists of a brick aedicule with an apse and a colourful apse mosaic. The mosaic dates from the 18th century. The whole edifice is a replica of the apse of the large dining hall built by Pope Leo III (795-816), hence the name Triclinium Leoninum, Leo’s dining hall. In 1731, when plans were in the making for a new façade for the cathedral of San Giovanni, Pope Clemens XII (1730-1740) decided that the remains of the [previous] Triclinium Leoninum were in the way and ordered it to be demolished. The mosaic was damaged beyond repair. In 1743, the architect Ferdinando Fuga (1699-1782) was hired by Pope Benedictus XIV (1740-1758) to build a new edifice, a project that led to the current Triclinium Leoninum being set up. The painter Pier Leone Ghezzi (1674-1755) received a commission to replicate the mosaic. Whether this is a faithful reproduction of the previous mosaic is hard to tell. Ghezzi may have used his imagination while laying some parts.
Architects: Richard Meier & Partners, Michael Palladino (2012)

San Diego's first building by Richard Meier is the new courthouse, just completed downtown.
Yes, that's me in the shot again. I took this with a timer because I thought it needed somebody for scale and there was nobody else around to ask...
axelborg, bank and office building, copenhagen 1920
architects: arthur wittmaack 1878-1965 og vilhelm hvalsøe 1883-1958
wittmaack and hvalsøe built a lot in copenhagen, but little of notice. they have their moments rather than masterpieces, such as this space in axelborg and the monumental facade of østerbro svømmehal, but on the whole they were a couple of heavyhanded architects.

The Grade II* Listed 78 Derngate a Georgian house built in 1815 and now a museum in the Cultural Quarter of Northampton, Northamptonshire.
It is noted for its interior, which was extensively remodelled in 1916 and 1917 by noted architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh for businessman Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke as his first marital home.
The rear elevation also features a striking extension with two elevated balconies which, in 1916, overlooked meadowland to the edge of Northampton. The design origins of this extension have been the subject of some scholarly debate and a myth of Mackintosh as a modernist pioneer in his late career has persisted. However, recent research suggests that Bassett-Lowke and Alexander Ellis Anderson (a Northampton-based architect who supervised the remodelling) may also have had a hand in the design of this structure as well as Mackintosh. In 1926 the Bassett Lowkes moved to New Ways, a pioneering modernist house designed by Peter Behrens close to Abington Park.
Between 1964 and 1993 the building was used by Northampton High School for girls, initially as offices but later as classrooms. In 2002 work started to restore the house to Mackintosh's original design. This work was under the direction of architects John McAslan + Partners and involved a team of specialist contractors for expert restoration, or replication of, the original features of the Mackintosh period scheme.
After eighteen months of restoration, the house was opened to the public in late 2003. Small group guided tours or self-guided visits are available and provide an insight into this stunning and unique example of a Mackintosh-designed house in England.
A supporting museum adjoins 78 Derngate and is housed in number 80. In 2003, the Discovery Channel aired a documentary series hosted by Eric Knowles titled The House That Mackintosh Built. The series followed aspects of the property restoration as it was in progress. In May 2007 a new visitors centre at 82 Derngate was opened to provide further facilities and exhibitions for visitors. This building, also restored by John McAslan + Partners, houses a restaurant, art galleries, meeting rooms, shop, visitor reception and administration offices. A regular programme of exhibitions and events is offered and an active 'Friends of 78 Derngate' group continues to raise funds for ongoing development of the project. On 3 October 2013, HRH Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester visited 78 Derngate to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its opening to the public.

sundholm laundry, copenhagen, denmark 1939-1941.
architect: hans christian hansen, 1901-1978, working for the copenhagen municipal architects department.
for an urban planning competition which we lost fair and square, I took a few photos of a neighbouring industrial building. it had an exterior so at odds with its great skylit central space that I can only describe it as willfully nondescript. I never suspected this building of having been designed by an architect, only an engineer would propose such a glorious and economical structure and do absolutely nothing to communicate it to the outside world.
but I was wrong and later discovered that I had visited a rare example of hans christian hansen's pre-war work. the dichotomy of hansen's design suggests an architect subscribing to an objective modernism in which traditional architectural values that could not be measured played little or no part, while the role of the engineer was revered.
this is guesswork, of course, we know so little about hansen, but perhaps you will allow his 1939 visit to russia as circumstantial evidence pointing to some degree of marxism in his thinking at the time. late 1930's visits to the soviet union took faith, after all.
the social aspect of his work here cannot be in doubt. sundholm was a fenced mental institution - originally, it even had a moat - where residents took care of the facilities, grew their own food, and in this room most likely washed their own clothes and linen. the dignity of the great concrete span and the skylights is undeniable, this space is attractive by any modern standards and has since, not surprisingly, been taken over by artists.
none of the work I saw matched the strength of the space in which it was being done, a cruel truth of so much of today's art. briefly, I entertained the idea that the artists were all delusional patients, but the sad fact is that these days we drug up our mental patients and send them into society, all in the name of saving money. perhaps, we should have sent the artists instead.
more words, yada, yada, yada.

the comments I have added to some of my photos can be read together as a kind of mangled, yet surprisingly brief essay on hansen. repetitious and opinionated, it reflects the writer above his subject, but until someone does some serious research on hansen, a complete lack of competition makes me immune to criticism. enjoy :)

The Alise water tower, which has a weather vane with a stylized globe, was designed by architect Wilhelm Bokslaff, built in 1910 in Agenskalns area of Riga, and cost 139,429 golden Russian rubles.
In 1937, when the tower could no longer perform its function, it had to be raised. Special recesses were dug in the wall under the tower head to allow jacks to be inserted. Lifting the roof up, at the same time the builders bricked the wall higher. Its tower was raised by about 7.5 meters. The thickness of the masonry is about 2 meters, the tower's height 40 m, volume 2000 m3.
The low-key approach seemed natural, given this was shot on a cold and drizzly day in winter.
This sphinx has stood in the northeastern corner of the Lund Botanical Garden since 1978. It is a remnant of the original decorations on the city's main university building.
In 1882, the Swedish architect Helgo Zettervall adorned the newly opened university building with cement sculptures, including griffins, urns, and four sphinxes. The poor-quality concrete, however, eroded over time, and the decorations were removed in 1959. Newly cast urns and griffins were quickly put in place, but the sphinxes got lost in storage. Some years later, the Uarda Academy found one of the missing sphinxes and saved it from destruction. It became the model for the mould used to create the new sphinxes - and the original was placed in the city's Botanical Gardens.
It happened again in 2021—the sphinxes on the university’s roof were weathering away and taken down, and replacements were installed in October 2024.
Zettervall’s sphinxes are mythological creatures in a Hellenistic style, quite different from their Egyptian origins. In this interpretation, they are almost androgynous, unlike the Greek female prototype.

Villa U is a two-storey single family home near Aarhus located in beautiful surroundings with scenic views. The house, which takes full advantage of the view and its proximity to nature on three sides, is organised around a tall double-height central space with sky-lights, accompanied by a sculptural staircase and brick fireplace offering ample space to exhibit works of art. This room is the heart of the house, tying together every room with open views spanning both floors of the home.
The ground floor and upper floor are designed as mirrored parallelograms, creating a vast array of open and covered terraces and niches on both levels, framed by a facade of dark patinated zinc with a warm-toned inner lining of hardwood mouldings.
The house is equipped for wheelchair use with a special residential elevator. The ground floor has a living room, kitchen and bedrooms with direct access to cast terraces in the surrounding landscape, as well as a foyer and utility room in extension of the integrated carport. The upper floor features a living room with terraces facing both east and west, as well as a large bedroom with its own bathroom, walk-in closet and morning terrace. The carport roof is home to a green roof garden.
Large tile floors, pigmented oak floors, handmade kitchen units and custom-fired brick provide a contrasting balance with the house’s light tones, forming textural surfaces that accentuate the ever-changing light. The home’s proximity to green surroundings is enhanced by the generous, floor-to-ceiling glass walls and flowing transitions between indoors and out.

Architect: James Miller
James Miller FRSE FRIBA FRIAS RSA (1860–1947) was a Scottish architect, recognised for his commercial architecture in Glasgow and for his Scottish railway stations. Quoted from Wikipedia
(Swedish: Bjertorp slott) Built: 1911-1914. Architect: Ferdinand Boberg (1860-1946). The first owner was Knut Henrik Littorin, born in 1860. He received his education at Gothenburg University Business Institute and was employed by Alfred Nobel's oil concern in Russia. Investing in Russian oil sources and companies, he created himself a respectable fortune.
The castle was owned by the family Littorin until 1956 when it became the domestic science school for girls. In 1980 a hotel and restaurant was established at the castle and so it is still today.

The view from the top of the Grade II Listed 105 feet (32 m) tall Cabot Tower, Brandon Hill Park, Bristol, Avon.
The tower stands on the site of a medieval chapel which may have belonged to St James' Priory. During the 16th century the chapel was replaced by a windmill.
The tower was constructed in memory of John Cabot, 400 years after he set sail in Matthew from Bristol and landed in what was later to become Canada. It was paid for by public subscription. The foundation stone was laid on 24 June 1897 by the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava and the tower was completed in July 1898. The architect was William Venn Gough and it was built by Love and Waite of Bristol. A lift was originally planned but never installed. The tower gives its name to the area and Council ward of Cabot.
After closure to the public in 2007, the tower reopened on 16 August 2011 following completion of repair works costing an estimated £420,000 to cracked stonework, caused by corroded reinforcing steel in the floor of the viewing platform, which had made the tower unsafe. Planning consent for the repairs was granted by Bristol City Council in November 2010. The final stage of the restoration was completed in 2014 when a light flashing the word "Bristol" in Morse code was turned back on.
The tower is built from red sandstone with cream Bath Stone for ornamentation and emphasis. It consists of a spiral staircase and two viewing platforms where balconies with wrought iron railings overlook the city, the higher of which is approximately 334 feet (102 m) above sea level. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. The top of the tower is supported by flying buttresses and surmounted by an octagonal spirelet topped with a ball finial and carved winged figure, which represents commerce.

In 1997, the owners of the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association, which then played in the eight-year-old, publicly financed Miami Arena, threatened to move to Broward County unless they were given the $38 million parcel of land for the new arena by Alex Penelas, then-mayor of Miami. The agreement provided that the county receive 40% of annual profits of the arena above $14 million.
Kaseya Center is a multi-purpose arena on Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida. The arena was previously named American Airlines Arena from opening in 1999 until 2019, FTX Arena from 2019 until 2023 following the bankruptcy of FTX, and Miami-Dade Arena during an interim period in 2023. Since April 2023, the naming rights to the arena are owned by Kaseya under a 17-year, $117.4 million agreement.
The arena has capacity for 19,500 people, including 2,105 club seats, 80 luxury suites, and 76 private boxes. Additionally, for more intimate performances, The Waterfront Theater, the largest indoor theater in Florida, is within the arena complex, seating between 3,000 and 5,800 patrons. The theater can be configured for concerts, worship events, family events, musical theatre shows and other stage productions. American Airlines, which has a hub at Miami International Airport, maintains a travel center at the venue.
The arena is known for its unusual scoreboard, designed by artist Christopher Janney and installed in 1998 as part of the original construction. Drawing on the underwater anemone forms, the scoreboard also changes colors depending on the atmosphere.
For concerts in an arena configuration, end stage capacity is 12,202 for 180° shows, 15,402 for 270° shows, and 18,309 for 360° shows. For center stage concerts the arena can seat 19,146.
WTVJ, the city's NBC owned-and-operated station in Miami, had their Downtown Miami Studios in the back of the arena from 2001 until 2011.
In 2013, the Miami Heat paid rent on the arena for the first time pursuant to the percentage rent agreement with the county; the payment was $3.32 million.
The arena is directly served by the Miami Metrorail at Government Center station via free transfers to Metromover Omni Loop, providing direct service to Freedom Tower station and Park West station stations, within walking distance. It is also within walking distance from the Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station.
The arena has 939 parking spaces, with those spaces reserved for premium seat and Dewar's 12 Clubhouse ticket holders during Heat games. Park Jockey manages the arena's on-site parking.

The Florida East Coast Hotel Company selected the architectural firm Schultze and Weaver, which later designed the Waldorf-Astoria, Pierre, and Sherry Netherlands hotels in New York City, to rebuild The Breakers. During an earlier trip to Rome, Leonard Schultze had admired the Villa Medici (1575) and decided to use this building, Italian Renaissance in design, as the architectural inspiration for The Breakers facade.
On December 4, 1925, the New York City-based Turner Construction Company signed a contract to build the new seven-story Breakers. Construction began in January 1926. More than 1,200 construction workers labored around the clock, while 72 artisans from Italy completed the magnificent paintings on the lobby ceilings. The immense structure was completed for $7 million in a scant 11½ months and opened on December 29, 1926, just in time for the start of the Palm Beach season.
Exceeding everyone's expectations, the hotel opened showcasing a 200-foot-long main lobby with an arched, hand-painted ceiling; a vast Florentine Dining Room, richly decorated with a beamed ceiling modeled after the Palazzo Davanzati (ca. 1400) in Florence; magnificent North and South Loggias; and shaded terraces and landscaped patios.
Far grander than its predecessor, The Breakers was more than America's greatest winter resort, it was an unrivaled masterpiece. The Architectural Forum praised The Breakers as “without doubt one of the most magnificent, successful examples of a palatial winter resort hotel,” (May 1927). The president of Turner Construction Company reported soon after the opening, “Those who know, say it is the finest resort hotel in America, and it is not likely that the circumstances of ownership, time, and place will produce its counterpart in years to come.”
Now in its second century, The Breakers continues the tradition of excellence started by Henry Morrison Flagler. Today it remains one of the few, privately-owned resorts independent of chain affiliation. The heirs to the original ownership have successfully maintained and revitalized the hotel, keeping with the Flagler tradition and spending millions on renewal and expansion. With their commitment, capital expenditures averaging $30 million a year continue to be reinvested, ensuring The Breakers remains energized and alluring to future generations.
