Originally built in 1930 as an auditorium & skating rink.
Anybody out there happen to know the original name. It is now advertised as Artist Lofts.
The dome is intricately decorated with mosaics. Visitors can climb to the dome's outer balcony, which is made easier by a wide stairwell, plenty of landings with historic photos and models, and even a couple of chairs.
The most historically significant feature of the Berliner Dom is the crypt, with more than 80 sarcophagi of Prussian royals. However, to the non-enthusiast the tombs can seem rather dull in apperance.
Other sights of interest include Sauer's Organ, the Neo-Baroque pulpit and the stained glass designed by Anton von Werner. The main altar, which was saved from the previous cathedral, dates from 1850.

The MAM recently gained international recognition with the construction of the white concrete Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava (his first completed project in the United States), which opened on May 4, 2001. The pavilion was engineered by the Milwaukee-based engineering firm, Graef. The structure contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil which opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The brise soleil has since become a symbol for the city of Milwaukee
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.
In February 2007 we were at the then recently opened new Bangkok Airport. I was impressed.
This is the inner (non public) yard which combines futuristic architecture with eastern aesthetics.

Met dank aan de bewoners van Tuinwijk, Hasselt
'Koterijen' zijn typisch Belgische, zelfgebouwde ruimtes die aan de achterkant van de woning in de achtertuin worden bijgebouwd door de bewoners. Gewoonlijk worden ze gebruikt als wasruimte, berging, uitbreiding van de woonkamer, atelier…
Delen van het huis worden aangepast aan de dagelijkse activiteiten van de bewoners; ze ontwikkelen zich en krijgen vorm volgens de behoeften en vaardigheden van de eigenaar. De omgeving ‘Tuinwijk’ in Hasselt vormde de ideale lokale context om de mogelijkheden en opportuniteiten van deze aanbouwsels te onderzoeken vanuit een sociologisch en antropologisch perspectief.
Co-terijen stelt een nieuwe inter-huiselijke gemeenschappelijke ruimte voor die meerdere ‘koterijen’ samenvoegt, gebouwd door groepen bewoners om zowel gezamenlijke activiteiten en menselijke ontmoetingen, als het uitwisselen van vaardigheden, ruimte en werktuigen te bevorderen.
‘Koterijen’ are typical Belgian, self-built spaces, attached to the back of the main house building, developing in the backyard. They are generally used as laundry room, storage, extended living room, workshop…
These are real open-social spaces, where parts of the resident’s home are modified to fit their daily activities. The spaces grow and are shaped according to the resident’s needs and skills. The neighbourhood of ‘Tuinwijk’ in Hasselt has been the ideal local context for researching community behaviours, possibilities and opportunities in relation to such spaces.
Co-terijen proposes a new intra-domestic communal space, connecting several ‘koterijen’ and built together by groups of residents to enhance shared activities and human encounters exchanging skills, space and tools.
