The Liège-Guillemins train station, designed by the Spanish architect Calatrava, was recently colourfully decorated by the French artist Daniel Buren. For this temporary art installation, 7 colours were used to cover the 10,000 square metres of the building's roof.

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.

From a distance it looks like a cathedral, but however it is the former long-distance transmitter "Radio Kootwijk" that maintained the radio traffic between the Netherlands and their former colony of Indonesia.
The "Cathedral" consists of concrete in which no iron or steel has been processed, so as not to disturb the radio signal.
The architect Julius Luthmann was inspired for the design by the German "Telefunken" broadcasting station and the Giza Sphinx, which can bee seen from the "front legs" that formed the entrance.
The "pond" in front of the building was the cooling water reservoir that the immense transformers and generators had to cool.

The Caldwell County jail was built in 1908-1909. Designed by architect T. S. Hodges, this castellated brick structure served as the county's jail until 1982. Hodges is also known for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart shown previously in this short series.
The jailer's quarters occupy the ground floor, over a storage area in the basement. The upper floor contain fifteen cells of concrete and steel, with one cell rising from the center of the building. Gallows are said to have been removed from this jail in the 1930s.
Now a museum, the jail also hosts exhibits relating to the history of Caldwell County and the State of Texas. The former jail is not a Texas Historic Landmark.
Lockhart is the seat of Caldwell County, and is located 30 miles (48 km) south of Austin. The estimated population of Lockhart in 2019 was 14,133. Known as the Barbecue Capital of Texas, Lockhart also has played host to many film sets. The 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape were filmed partially in Lockhart, including the historic courthouse and the town square.
L'église Saint-Véran est située sur la commune de Saint-Véran dans le département des Hautes-Alpes en France. Elle porte ce vocable en raison de Saint patron de Cavaillon qui fit fuir un dragon du Vaucluse. Celui ci tomba de fatigue sur le territoire du village. Il y a un os de relique dans l'église. Détruite pendant les guerres de religion, l'église de Saint-Véran a été reconstruite au XVIIe siècle. Deux colonnes finement sculptées reposant sur deux lions stylophores (que l'on retrouve à Guillestre et Abriès) soutiennent son porche en bois. Son décor intérieur est riche en sculptures et en statues. Elle est inscrite au titre des Monuments historiques depuis le Construite au XVIIe siècle en forme de temple (son architecte était protestant), sans abside, ni clocher, au lendemain de la destruction du précédent édifice par les huguenots,
Elle fut dotée 1838 du clocher actuel.
A noter que s'il y a une horloge(non visible ici sur le cliché) il y a un un cadran solaire sur le chevet de l'église

History
The construction of Baldwin Cottage, a small-dorm complement to stately Talcott which rose more or less simultaneously next door, began soon after the 1886 fire which destroyed the Second Ladies Hall. It was named for Elbert Baldwin, a Cleveland dry goods merchant from whom Adelia Field Johnston, Oberlin's leading woman administrator, extracted a gift of $20,000. The village paper announced that Baldwin would be done "in the Queen Anne style, with broken roof lines, with the effect of earlier colonial houses" -- language suggesting that wonderfully elastic range of "Queen Anne". Weary and Kramer's design reached for the informal intimacy of a cottage look through variety in massing, texture, and detail. The studied unexpectedness of Baldwin's shapes--its squat tower, its low double-arched entry porch, the broad and gentle slopes of its roof lines, the episodic placement of its windows and dormers--made it a local triumph in the art of organic irregularity popularized by Henry Hobson Richardson. The roofing material, a warm red diamond-shaped tile, introduced a theme that would govern the campus building projects for the next 45 years. Dark, rich woodwork helped carry a friendly "nook-and-cranny" mood through the interior, making Baldwin one of the most durably popular living places on the campus.

Vancouver House is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Construction of the skyscraper began in 2016 and was expected to be finished by the end of 2019, but completion was postponed to summer of 2020.[2][3]
Design
Vancouver House was designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and structural engineers Buro Happold and Glotman Simpson. The design is based on a triangle that rises from the ground and gradually transitions into a rectangle as it ascends to the top.[5] The design reflects the constraints of developing the triangular-shaped plot of land immediately east of the Howe Street on-ramp of the Granville Street Bridge.[6] The east and west facades of the building feature box-shaped balconies, giving the building's exterior a honeycomb texture.[7]
Spinning Chandelier, a public art piece, was installed near the skyscraper as part of the city's rezoning requirement.
Splendid Ugliness – Blurb photo book
Atarim square that was built in the mid-1970s, designed by architect Yakov Rechter, to reflect the style of brutalist architecture in Israel. However, the project turned out to be a failure. It was named Israel`s ugliest square and considered as a white elephant. Today the square is up to be demolished and a new project is planned to take its place. The photographs in this book were taken between the years 2013-2016. They reflect the ugliness, the splendor and decay of this square.

Bâtie en 1885 sur l’emplacement d’édifices antérieurs l’église est de style roman-rhénan et reflète dans son architecture et mobilier la prospérité que connaissait la ville de Spa à la fin du XIXe siècle. Elle est le principal lieu de culte de la paroisse catholique de Spa.
L’église actuelle est construite en 1885 suivant les plans de l’architecte Eugène Charpentier. De style roman-rhénan, resté populaire dans l’ancienne principauté de Liège, elle fut consacrée le 2 octobre 1886 par Mgr Doutreloux, évêque de Liège.
La semi-coupole de l’abside est décorée d’une large fresque, à la mode byzantine. Le Christ en gloire, avec le Père et le Saint-Esprit, a à ses côtés la Vierge Marie avec les saints Pierre, Jean-Baptiste et Remacle le désignant comme source de vie.
Le maître-autel, la chaire de vérité, et les autels des chapelles du transept – en marbre de Botticino - sont œuvre du sculpteur anversois Pierre Peeters.
Built in 1885 on the site of earlier buildings, the church is in the Rhenish Romanesque style and reflects in its architecture and furnishings the prosperity enjoyed by the town of Spa at the end of the 19th century. It is the main place of worship for the Catholic parish of Spa.
The current church was built in 1885 according to the plans of the architect Eugène Charpentier. In the Rhenish Romanesque style, which remained popular in the former principality of Liège, it was consecrated on October 2, 1886, by Bishop Doutreloux of Liège.
The semi-dome of the apse is decorated with a large fresco in the Byzantine style. Christ in Glory, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, is flanked by the Virgin Mary with Saints Peter, John the Baptist, and Remacle, who designate him as the source of life.
The high altar, the pulpit of truth, and the altars of the transept chapels – in Botticino marble – are the work of the Antwerp sculptor Pierre Peeters.
