The Old Polk County Courthouse (also known as the Imperial Polk County Courthouse) (constructed in 1908-09) is an historic courthouse in Bartow, Florida, located at 100 East Main Street. It was ostensibly designed in the Classical Revival style by noted architect Edward Columbus Hosford. On August 7, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Polk County Historical Museum is located in the courthouse.

"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.
As a photographer, a common theme I like to find is minimal geometry and patterns in nature or man-made objects.
This photo represents geometrical patterns and shapes created by the architecture and reflection of the Prudential Plaza in Jacksonville, FL. I walk past this building so many times, but one day managed to stand underneath it, and discovered this magic.
The architect is KBJ Architects from Jacksonville, FL, a firm responsible for shaping the incoming Jacksonville skyline we have today.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or comments on how I can improve this.

Architects Max Sippel / Bruno Trubert* / Rolf Klein / Manfred Oppmann / Otmar Nentwig, 1972–1976
Krefeld, Germany
"Angular geometric shapes like the hexagon seem to dominate the building of the event centre. Floors lie irregularly on top of each other and are supported by pillars. Projections and recesses alternate and create galleries. Concrete panels design the façade and their flattened edges make them almost round. Horizontal bands of windows design the individual floors and give the building a more tranquil appearance.
Scheduled for demolition, however there is a temporary extension to using the current building. There are plans for a new city hall on the site." (www.sosbrutalism.org/cms/15802395#15931369)
"Silk City Gallery
After almost five decades, the Seidenweberhaus has come to the end of the road: the days of the striking concrete block on Theaterplatz are numbered, the demolition is a done deal. But before heavy machinery rolls in, around 30 international street artists use the building as an impetus and inspiration for their work. From Tuesday 20th to Sunday 25th July [2021], they decorate it from all sides as "Silk City Gallery" with murals, graffiti and 3D art.
[...] The farewell to a building is celebrated that has accompanied the city society for a long time. The place lends itself to an artistic exploration, precisely because it so clearly calls for new impulses.
The artists come from Krefeld and the region as well as from countries such as Spain, Italy, Canada, Mexico and the Ukraine."

*Bruno Trubert, the photographer's grandfather, was about to retire at the time of the project and was not involved in the design, but only in the construction management.

Architecte : Jacques-Germain SOUFFLOT ( 1761)
Edifié depuis le moyen âge par une progression architecturale, ce lieu a une fonction d'hôpital. François RABELAIS y a été nommé (1532) médecin avec une vingtaine de religieuses. Soufflot réalise le bâtiment actuel qui en 2015 devient un hotel de luxe, une offre de bureaux et commerces ainsi qu'une cité de la gastronomie.
Ages by an architectural progression, this place has a hospital function. François RABELAIS was appointed (1532) doctor there with around twenty nuns. Soufflot is building the current building which in 2015 became a luxury hotel, an office and retail offering as well as a city of gastronomy.

The new building was designed by the British architect Norman, Lord Foster and civil & structural engineers Ove Arup & Partners with service design by J. Roger Preston & Partners, and was constructed by Wimpey International. From the concept to completion, it took seven years (1978–1985). The building is 180 metres high with 47 storeys and four basement levels. The building has a modular design consisting of five steel modules prefabricated in the UK by Scott Lithgow Shipbuilders near Glasgow, and shipped to Hong Kong. About 30,000 tons of steel and 4,500 tons of aluminium were used.
The original design was heavily inspired by the Douglas Gilling designed Qantas International Centre in Sydney (currently known as Suncorp Place).
The new Lobby and its 2-part Asian Story Wall were designed by Greg Pearce, of One Space Limited. Pearce was also the Principal Architect of the Hong Kong Airport Express (MTR) station. Conceived as a minimalist glass envelope, the new lobby is designed to be deferential to Foster's structure and appears almost to be part of the original.
The building is also one of the few to not have elevators as the primary carrier of building traffic. Instead, elevators only stop every few floors, and floors are interconnected by escalators.
The main characteristic of HSBC Hong Kong headquarters is its absence of internal supporting structure.
Another notable feature is that natural sunlight is the major source of lighting inside the building. There is a bank of giant mirrors at the top of the atrium, which can reflect natural sunlight into the atrium and hence down into the plaza. Through the use of natural sunlight, this design helps to conserve energy. Additionally, sun shades are provided on the external facades to block direct sunlight going into the building and to reduce heat gain. Instead of fresh water, sea water is used as coolant for the air-conditioning system.
All flooring is made from lightweight movable panels, under which lies a comprehensive network of power, telecommunication, and air-conditioning systems. This design was to allow equipment such as computer terminals to be installed quickly and easily.
Because of the urgency to finish the project, the construction of the building relied heavily on off-site prefabrication; components were manufactured all over the world. For example, the structural steel came from Britain; the glass, aluminium cladding and flooring came from the United States while the service modules came from Japan.
The inverted 'va' segments of the suspension trusses spanning the construction at double-height levels is the most obvious characteristic of the building. It consists of eight groups of four aluminium-clad steel columns which ascend from the foundations up through the core structure, and five levels of triangular suspension trusses which are locked into these masts.

the architect of what it's wondered
roaming the playing fields
and stamping the corns
fighting for the urban corner
spreading the disease of the metropolis
overpoulated armies of flats and apartments soon to rise immune to non profit vaccinations
echoing the high rise blocks of an old decaying past
why are they building just round this corner
on a kids playground I ask
there seems such an abundance of better space
yet the architect decides and who am I to question his madness

The Davenport Hotel is a hotel located in Spokane, Washington. Commissioned by a group of Spokane businessmen, the hotel is named after Louis Davenport, its first proprietor and overseer of the project. Architect Kirtland Cutter designed the building in 1914. The Davenport Hotel was the first hotel in the United States with air conditioning, a central vacuum system, pipe organ, and dividing doors in the ballrooms. It is also the place at which the first Crab Louis (named after Louis Davenport) was created and served. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Davenport Hotel was completely restored by developer Walt Worthy in 2002 and operates today under the name The Historic Davenport Hotel within The Davenport Hotel Collection brand along with its three sister hotels

Built in 1947, the Sabine Theatre is most likely the 1947 project for the Southern Amusement Company that is found in this list of drawings by Lake Charles, Louisiana, architect John M. Gabriel. It was acquired by the town of Many in the mid-1990’s and is now used for live theatre by the Sabine Parish Players, as well as musical performances, occasional movies, and other community events. It was also featured in the “downtown scenes” in the movie The Man in The Moon.
