The Thiepval memorial commemorates 72,000 British and South African forces who died in the Battle of the Somme, and have no known grave.
The memorial is the largest Commonwealth war memorial in the world, and was designed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. It was unveiled in August 1932 by Edward, Prince of Wales, who a few years later abdicated his right to inherit the English throne..
The Anglo-French cemetery, adjacent to the monument, contains the graves of 300 soldiers.
On the south side of the island of Van Brienenoord in the Maas Rivier in Rotterdam, NEXT architects and H+N+S landscape architects have designed the first point in the Maaspoints series: special places along the Maas to strengthen the relationship between city and river and between people and nature. Water Woods, the first viewing point in the series, is designed as a forest of steel pipes that together form a contrast: the stairs going up lead to a panoramic view over the river and the skyline of Rotterdam, the stairs going down bring the visitor in close contact with the specific cyclical tides of the water.

Aan de zuidkant van het eiland Van Brienenoord in de Rotterdamse Maas ontwerpen NEXT architects en H+N+S landschapsarchitecten de serie Maaspoints: bijzondere plekken langs de Maas om de relatie tussen stad en rivier en tussen mens en natuur te versterken. Water Woud, het eerste uitkijkpunt in de serie, is ontworpen als een woud van stalen pijpen die samen een contrast vormen: de trap omhoog leidt naar een panoramisch uitzicht over de rivier en de Rotterdamse skyline, de trap omlaag brengt de bezoeker in nauw contact met de specifieke cyclische getijden van het water.

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

Architecture & landscape: C.F. Møller Architects, 2015
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.

Last weekend Jeff and I went to Armand Bayou Nature Center -- I wanted to take photos of frogs. We walked up to the information center right by the parking lot and were greeted by a number of these slightly intimidating creatures. We paid the kind gentleman at the front, after which I asked about how many of the spiders were hanging around at the center. He responded that they were everywhere and told us that they were harmless and that if one were to fall on us -- just brush him off.
End of story: We got free passes for a return visit.
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.

Sorry for the bad shot. I took it through the glass.
Conceived as an experiment in modern living, it was the personal residence of Bob and Helene Alexander (the developer who was responsible for building most of Palm Springs' mid-century modern tract homes). It was featured in a spread in Look magazine in 1962. The Alexanders were killed in a plane crash in 1965. Elvis rented this house for himself as a quiet place to get away, and had plans to hold his wedding here until word got out and the press turned it into a circus, so they ran off to Vegas, instead. But it is famous as the home where Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon.

[EN] Limoges-Bénédictins is the main railway station of Limoges. It is situated on the Orléans–Montauban railway. It was named Bénédictins due to the presence of a Benedictine monastery closed during the French Revolution.
On 21 November 1918, the Limoges city council and CF du PO signed an agreement regarding the construction of a new station. Work lasted from 1924 and 1929. The station was inaugurated on 2 July 1929.
Bénédictins station was designed by architect Roger Gonthier. A particularity of the station is that it was built over the ten railway lines as opposed to next to them. A large 90 by 78 metre platform was built over the line to support the station building.
The building is made of a concrete bone structure, filled in with limestone. The dome which covers the passenger concourse is made of a metallic framework, covered in copper.
On the Southwest corner is a 67-metre-tall (220 ft) clock tower composed of thirteen levels. It is mounted by a dome itself mounted by a five-metre-tall (16 ft) vase. Below these are four 4-metre-wide (13 ft) clocks.
__________________________________________________________
[FR] La gare de Limoges-Bénédictins est une gare ferroviaire française, la principale des deux gares de la commune de Limoges, dans le département de la Haute-Vienne, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Principal nœud du Limousin avec 1,6 million de voyageurs annuels, elle est située au cœur d'une étoile ferroviaire à huit branches, au carrefour de quatre lignes la reliant à Paris via Châteauroux et Orléans, Toulouse via Brive et Montauban, Poitiers via Le Dorat, Angoulême et Périgueux. Elle est également une gare routière régionale.
Ouverte en 1856 par la Compagnie du Paris-Orléans, à la mise en service du prolongement vers le sud de la ligne venant d'Orléans au-delà d'Argenton-sur-Creuse, une première gare demeure en service plus de soixante-dix ans. Elle est remplacée par le bâtiment actuel, inauguré en 1929. Chef-d’œuvre éclectique d'architecture régionaliste et symbole de la ville, l'esthétique de celui-ci emprunte autant à un Art nouveau tardif, qu'à l'Art déco et au néoclassicisme, et à ce titre fait l’objet d’une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 15 janvier 1975.
La gare de Limoges-Bénédictins est aujourd'hui une gare de la Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) desservie par les trains des réseaux Intercités, TER Centre-Val de Loire et TER Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Architect: Alvar Aalto
Built in: 1955
Client: Alvar Aalto
“ Alvar Aalto designed the building at Tiilimäki 20 in Munkkiniemi as his own office in 1955. Because of a number of large commissions, the office needed more space to work in. The building is only a short walk from Aalto's own house, where the office had previously been located. Studio Aalto is one of the best of Alvar Aalto's 1950s buildings.
The white-rendered, wall-like, closed-in mass of the building conceals a garden shaped like an amphitheatre in its inner courtyard. The office staff could sit on the slate steps of the amphitheatre, listen to lectures or watch slide shows projected on the white wall.
The principal space in the building is the curving studio which has a view opening onto the courtyard. Horizontal battens fixed to the high walls of the studio allowed drawings to be displayed there. The rear wall is covered with climbing plants reaching up to the high-level windows and prototypes of light fittings designed by Alvar Aalto are hung in front of the wall. The slanting bay window of the conference room with its rooflight creates the perfect conditions for examining models and drawings.
The building is designed to be used as an architect's office. On the upper floor there is a drawing office on a narrow plan, beautifully encircled by natural light from a band of high-level windows. In 1962-1963 the building was extended by building a dining room for the staff, the 'Taverna', in the courtyard behind the high brick wall, with an office above it.
Alvar Aalto ran the office until his death in 1976. After that, the office continued under the leadership of Elissa Aalto until 1994. The building came into the custodianship of the Alvar Aalto Foundation in 1984 and today it houses the Alvar Aalto Foundation, the Alvar Aalto Academy and the Alvar Aalto Museum Architectural Heritage.”

Modernist architecture fans will have a hard time in Charleston. This is about the extent of it right here. This building is across the road from my office in Charleston, near the airport. I just did a quick shot of this from my car window, as I was driving by, because I liked the light. I'm sure the other side of the building would be a better angle without the drive-through teller windows there. But I didn't have time to do a proper shoot. Will try the next time I'm in town.
If anyone has any information about the architect or the building's history, would love to know more. Thanks.

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 Grade I Listed Salisbury Cathedral, (formally known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary), one of the leading examples of Early English architecture. The main body of the cathedral was completed in only 38 years, from 1220 to 1258. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Salisbury and seat of the Bishop of Salisbury. In Salisbury, Wiltshire.
As a response to deteriorating relations between the clergy and the military at Old Sarum Cathedral, the decision was taken to resite the cathedral and the bishopric was moved to Salisbury. The move occurred during the tenure of Bishop Richard Poore, a wealthy man who donated the land on which it was built. The new cathedral was paid for by donations, principally from the canons and vicars of southeast England who were asked to contribute a fixed annual sum until it was completed. A legend tells that the Bishop of Old Sarum shot an arrow in the direction he would build the cathedral but the arrow hit a deer that died in the place where Salisbury Cathedral is now. The cathedral crossing, Old Sarum and Stonehenge are reputed to be aligned on a ley line, though Clive L.N. Ruggles asserts that the site, on marshland, was chosen because a preferred site several miles to the west could not be obtained.
The foundation stone was laid on 28 April 1220. Much of the freestone for the cathedral came from Teffont Evias quarries. As a result of the high water table in the new location, the cathedral was built on only four feet of foundations, and by 1258 the nave, transepts and choir were complete. The only major sections built later were the cloisters in 1240, the chapter house in 1263, tower and spire, which at 404 feet (123 m) dominated the skyline from 1320. Because most of the cathedral was built in only 38 years, it has a single consistent architectural style, Early English Gothic.
Although the spire is the cathedral's most impressive feature, it has proved to be troublesome. Together with the tower, it added 6,397 tons (6,500 tonnes) to the weight of the building. Without the addition of buttresses, bracing arches and anchor irons over the succeeding centuries, it would have suffered the fate of spires on later great ecclesiastical buildings (such as Malmesbury Abbey) and fallen down; instead, Salisbury remains the tallest church spire in the UK. The large supporting pillars at the corners of the spire are seen to bend inwards under the stress. The addition of reinforcing tie beams above the crossing, designed by Christopher Wren in 1668, arrested further deformation. The beams were hidden by a false ceiling, installed below the lantern stage of the tower.
Significant changes to the cathedral were made by the architect James Wyatt in 1790, including replacement of the original rood screen and demolition of a bell tower which stood about 320 feet (100 m) north west of the main building. Salisbury is one of only three English cathedrals to lack a ring of bells, the others are Norwich Cathedral and Ely Cathedral. However it does strike the time every 15 minutes with bells. In total, 70,000 tons of stone, 3,000 tons of timber and 450 tons of lead were used in the construction of the cathedral.
Swiss architects office Herzog & de Meuron built the concept of this work, making the stadium an icon for all their projects, which was a major challenge since more than one team used it as a local field.
It is well known that supporters of soccer teams make their home stadium an icon that reflects the character and personality of the team and its fans.
How can two teams will feel identified with a single stadium? The solution the Swiss architects Herzog & deMeuron arrived at was as effective as it was ingenious: Light up the stadium with the colors of each team during respective games, which changes the appearance of the stadium altogether.

Tower 23 Hotel
Architect: Graham Downes (2005)
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Stopped by this hotel again tonight on the way home (after taking a quick phone cam shot of it the other night). The guy in the stairwell happened to be walking by on the sidewalk out front, so I asked him to go inside and stand there for me for a second. (I figured everyone was getting tired of seeing me).

Point Hyllie will be an important part of the new urban space around Hyllie station square. The development consists of four tower blocks rising up from a column-supported base.
The tallest building will be approximately 95 m high, the next-tallest 49 m, and the final two between 29 and 23 m high. The two tallest buildings, the twin towers, will according to the architect symbolize a gateway to Sweden.
The project will encompass 300 homes as well as offices and shops, and will form a distinctive landmark in the area.
