Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.
Next to Museum Fatahillah, there is a Puppet Museum or Museum Wayang.
Before it is known as the Puppet Museum, this building was called the Oud Batavia Museum or the Old Batavia Museum (opened in 1939 by the last Dutch Governor General in Batavia, Tjarda van Starkenborgh Staachouwer). The building is located in Jalan Pintu Besar Utara No.27.
In the past, on the plot of land where this museum is built, there were two churches: the New Holland Church or Nieuwe Hollandse Kerk (1736) and the Old Holland Church or Oude Hollandse Kerk (1640-1732). The New Holland Church was damaged due to an earthquake. Therefore, a new building was erected and this building is what we know now as the Puppet Museum.
As its name suggests, the museum houses a vast collection of Indonesian traditional puppets (wayang) from different places in Indonesia and even from abroad. Currently, the museum has around 5,147 puppets.

The River Thames runs through the heart of the Richmond borough for 21 miles linking Hampton Court Palace, Teddington Lock, Richmond town centre and Kew Gardens with central London. Travelling by river is a great way to see many of the attractions in the area from a different perspective, including Marble Hill House, Ham House and Hampton Court Palace.
This building is still in use as a hotel but what not many people know is a church and cemetary sat on this spot. The church was gone by the time they wanted to put up the hotel in the late 1960s but the cemetary was still there. The graves were dug up and moved where i don't know. I have photos of the church yard when i find them i'll be sure to put them on.
The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1966, and was marked a National Historic Landmark later that same year. The renovated entrance building was designed by architect Renzo Piano in 2006.
More of the same: this should hopefully give a tiny flavour of the place.
During my time here (at a conference) I didn't meet anyone else who had anything good to say about the building. And, y'know, I'd be hard pressed to say it's a masterpiece of function. But who needs function with form like this? It's daring, it's different ... and, to me, it's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Elne Cathedral - Cathédrale Sainte-Eulalie-et-Sainte-Julie to give it its full name - is in the Languedoc-Roussillon region near Perpignan in south-west France. It was built in the 11th and 12th centuries. Its cloister was built in stages between the 12th and 14th centuries. It is an example of Catalan romanesque architecture.
This picture shows the marble columns in the south gallery which is the oldest part of the cloister.
The carved decoration on the column capitals is similar to that of the cloisters of St Michel de Cuxa and the Prieuré de Serrabone which are nearby in this same region.
