The seated Buddha, in the Earth Witness posture, facing north, on the porch next to the upper floor entrance of Wat Rajamontean, as mentioned in the previous photo. (there's also more information there if you check out the description)
"A mudra in Buddhist iconography is a body posture or gesture with special meaning. The earth witness mudra is also called the Bhumi-sparsha ("gesture of touching the earth") mudra. This mudra represents unshakability or steadfastness. The Dhyani Buddha Akshobhya also is associated with the earth witness mudra because he was immovable in keeping a vow never to feel anger or disgust at others.
The mudra also symbolizes the union of skillful means (upaya), symbolized by the right hand touching the earth, and wisdom (prajna), symbolized by the left hand on the lap in a meditation position." -https://www.thoughtco.com/earth-witness-449958

Noted for exquisite 'terracotta' (burnt clay) works, the 'Ananta vasudev' temple is quite a treat to explore. One can see such carvings form the entire external surface (walls and pillars) of this temple. The full structure of this temple can be seen here...

TWA Flight Center

Architect: Eero Saarinen, 1962; Restoration, Beyer Blinder Belle, Ongoing
One of the most famous icons of mid-century modernism, the TWA Flight Center, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The global is but the local on world tour. On this tour the local is not preserving identity – be that cultural, political, or social, but it is (re-)inventing itself, as art, activism, or enterprise. The local even aims at becoming a global subject, without knowing what forces – be that swarm, viral, or whatever, this depends on. The local is more or less ignorant about the www processes, but it is ready to get itself into anything – be that souvenirs, ruins, folklorisms, vernaculars, clichés, promises, romanticisms, naturalisms, exotisms. Junk Jet N°6 is crazy about things of local time and place, in the form of objects, images, gifs, videos, sounds, architectures, or reflecting texts. Junk Jet comes with works from your localhost, or your local wifi kebab shop ...

MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology Lisbon Portugal by Amanda Levete Architects
The MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, which opened its doors to the public in 2016, presenting itself as a new cultural centre in the city of Lisbon. The MAAT represents an ambition to host national and international exhibitions with contributions by contemporary artists, architects and thinkers. A space for debate, critical thinking and international dialogue, which offers an intense and diverse programme conceived for all audiences and ages.
The MAAT also represents the EDP group’s intent to help revitalise the riverfront of Belém’s historic district. Designed by the prestigious British architecture firm Amanda Levete Architects, the project involves approximately 3.000 m2 of exhibition space plus 7.000 m2 of public space. The new building rises on the riverfront with an architectural narrative that is sensitive to the city’s cultural heritage and future, offering, among other features, a pedestrian roof that offers a privileged view of Lisbon and the Tagus, and which immediately became an iconic location. With this proposal, the EDP Foundation has created a unique space in the city: a campus measuring 38,000 m2 where the new building, with its cosmopolitan design, coexists with the iconic Tejo Power Station dating back to the early 1900s.The Tejo Power Station has been modernised, maintained its dedication to science and provided four galleries for the MAAT programming. The two buildings are united by an outdoor park, conceived by landscape architect Vladimir Djurovik, offering an outstanding leisure space along Lisbon’s riverbank.
The pedestrian route on the riverfront now includes the roof of the new building, creating an undulating movement which merges with the surrounding landscape. In this way, the pedestrian roof, which also has a garden area, becomes both a crucial element of the local route, and a public space with a privileged view of the city and the river. The vast south facade is the building’s most iconic feature and it works as a large reflector interacting with the light coming from the river. The angle and position of the tiles were planned in order to create specific luminous effects according to the time of the day and year. The north facade, built in glass, includes a system with different levels of transparency which can be adapted to the different uses of the space. Inside, the building holds four exhibition spaces: the Oval Gallery, the Main Gallery, the Video Room and the Project Room.
