Rem Koolhaas designed new addition for the school of architecture under construction on the Cornell campus.
Photographed looking north through the window of Sibley Hall. Difficult to photograph because of the large area cordoned off for construction.
Two large trusses bracket the studio area. Parking is to the left.
A Sunday morning visit getting interior shots first time with my Nikon.
The Church dates to the 15th-Century, the tower and it's distinctive pinnacles were built by Sir Thomas Cotton who's family were owners of nearby Conington Castle. The Castle has since disappeared but a stable block was left creating Conington House. The church was made redundant in the 1970's but is cared for by the CCT. Inside are Cotton memorials galore especially in the South Aisle Chapel.
The churchyard has a monument with a pilot's head dedicated to the American Airmen who served over here at the nearby airfield during WW II which became RAF Glatton.
Itu Aba Island，太平島因為位於南中國海的爭議圈中，所以將朝向和平國家公園的概念來規劃，目前相關單位正審議中。但是，根據立法委員的質詢資料，越南在太平島附近的敦謙礁早就架設雷達、建置軍隊，伺機挑釁台灣的主權，2011年間，更侵入太平島的禁限制水域，達106船次。台灣的防衛能力與決心要再好好加強了。
One hundred years ago, the south Texas town of Asherton was full of hope and promise. With the discovery of deep artesian wells and a temperate climate that allowed for year-round crops, the 'Winter Garden' region of in deep southwest Texas was booming. Asher Richardson saw an opportunity, and by the turn of the century he owned nearly a quarter million acres of land, and the town of Asherton was established in 1902. It developed quickly within a few short years, with the heralded arrival of the Asherton and Gulf Railway in 1910, which was the same year that he built his impressive Bel-Asher Mansion. The town prospered for some time, becoming the Bermuda onion capital of the world. But the underground aquifers were soon tapped out, the Great Depression took a heavy toll, and Asherton fell into a slow decline. Today, Asherton is a poor, blue-collar community where hard-scrabble workers travel to nearby farms; the downtown is completely deserted without any businesses remaining. On the edge of town sits the remnants of the Asherton High School, the hundred-year-old two-story building as its centerpiece, shut down over a decade ago in a funding scandal.

The church plans were established in an architectural competition in April 1854. The architect was Heinrich von Ferstel (1828–1883), who, at the time, was only 26. He chose to build the cathedral in the neo-Gothic style, borrowing heavily from the architecture of Gothic French cathedrals. Because of this concept, many people mistake this church for an original Gothic church. However, the Votivkirche has not become a servile imitation of a French Gothic cathedral, but shows a new and individual concept. Furthermore it was built by one single architect, supervising the whole construction, and not by several generations, as the cathedrals in the Middle Ages.
Construction began in 1856, and it was dedicated 26 years later on April 24, 1879, the occasion of the silver jubilee of the royal couple.
The church was one of the first buildings to be built on the Ringstraße. Since the city-walls still existed at that point, the church had no natural parishioners. At that time it was meant as a garrison church, serving the many soldiers that had come to Vienna in the wake of 1848 revolution. The church is not located directly on the boulevard but along a broad square (the Sigmund Freud park) in front of it. The Votivkirche is made out of white sandstone, similar to the Stephansdom, and therefore has to be constantly renovated and protected from air-pollution and acid rain, which tends to colour and erode the soft stone.
The church has undergone extensive renovations after being badly damaged during World War II.
Since its architectural style is quite similar to the Stephansdom, it often gets mistaken for it by tourists. In reality more than 700 years lie between the two churches.
The design of this church has been closely imitated in the Gedächtniskirche in Speyer, Germany and the Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk in Oostende, Belgium.
