One World Trade Center (2014), de David Childs (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) y Daniel Libeskind. Nueva York, Lower Manhattan
The Renaissance Center (aka GM Renaissance Center) is a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers in Downtown Detroit, on the shore of the Detroit Rivers. The complex is owned by General Motors, which uses it as its world headquarters. The central tower, the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center with its curved glass-clad facade, is the second tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. It has been the tallest building in Michigan since it was erected in 1977. The principal architect was John Portman.

"St. Joseph's Church, Le Havre is a Roman Catholic church in Le Havre, France. From 1945 to 1954, the City of Le Havre commissioned Auguste Perret [(1874–1954)] and his studio to head the rebuilding of the entire city after it had been completely decimated by the British during World War II. St. Joseph's was built between 1951 and 1957/58 as part of this reconstruction. It acts as a memorial to the five thousand civilians fallen [...].
The church was designed by the chief architect for the reconstruction of Le Havre, Perret, who was the teacher and mentor to the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. A centrally-planned building, Saint Joseph's Church was envisioned as a beacon for the city. The church's single, central tower dominates the city skyline, easily visible from the city's port. Perret's vision created a building resembling a lantern, now fondly referred to as the “lantern tower” or the “lighthouse at the heart of the city.” Made of concrete, St Joseph's is a product of modern architectural innovation in Post-War France. The tower is 107 metres tall and acts as a beacon visible from out at sea, especially at night when illuminated.
Stained glass by Marguerite Huré
Perret brought in his previous colleague Marguerite Huré (1896-1967) for the stained glass in the new church. Their most notable collaborations were the Église Notre-Dame du Raincy and Saint Joseph's church in Le Havre. Huré contributed to the rebirth of sacred art in France in the early twentieth century through her introduction of abstraction into religious stained glass. She developed a style without images or words, using colour to convey her desired theme—much in the way music conveys feeling via sound. Huré and Perret shared a desire to reject decorative art in preference of constructive art that was collectively understated yet awe-inspiring and told a story or promoted further improvement/advancement.
The compact nave's architectural lines lead the eye to the altar and then up to a three-tiered, square base with triangular supporting structures. The triangular supports point the eye to the octagonal column that makes up the majority of the tower. A singular, chunky, spiral staircase rises from the base of the octagonal shaft to the bell room. Separated into 18 layers, each side of layers 2 to 17 exhibits an identical, geometric pattern made of wood and elongated stained glass. Revived in the nineteenth century, Huré used the “antique” glass making technique that involves mouth-blowing the coloured glass to achieve the desired shape. The repeated pattern reflects Huré's dedication to the symbolic power of colour and her rejection of iconographic representation. [...]"

A different take on the ziggurat's at UEA. Using the multi image but walking a step and taking a shot (repeat) the full length of one ziggurat. Layered, reducing opacity of each layer and cropping.
