Behind an anonymous building facade, American architect Frank Gehry covered the atrium with a splendid morphing glass and titanium roof.

Hyatt Regency San Francisco is a hotel located at the foot of Market Street and The Embarcadero in the financial district of San Francisco, California. The hotel is a part of the Embarcadero Center development by Trammell Crow, David Rockefeller, and John Portman.
The building was sold by its owner, Strategic Hotel Capital LLC, in January 2007 for close to US$200 million to Dune Capital Management and DiNapoli Capital Partners – roughly $250,000 for each of the hotel's 802 rooms.
The Regency Club Lounge was once the Equinox, a rooftop revolving restaurant, but is now a stationary elite club for certain hotel guests offering 360-degree views of the city and the bay.
The Hyatt Regency's atrium lobby served as the lobby of the Glass Tower in 1974's The Towering Inferno. Replicas of John Portman's trademark pill-shaped elevators were built for use in the film and are featured throughout, including in an extended sequence where one is lifted from the stricken tower by helicopter. The Hotel was also featured in the 1977 Mel Brooks Comedy High Anxiety, the film Telefon from 1977, and in Time After Time (1979 film), a tale of H.G. Wells chasing Jack The Ripper into the future of 1979.
As well as being a setting for numerous films, the lobby is itself inspired by a film. Architect John Portman has stated that its design was suggested to him by viewing the 1935 science fiction film Things to Come.

Day 25. This is the spiral pedestrian ramp in the town centre in Uxbridge. I photographed this at the beginning of the year and I wanted to revisit at the blue hour to get a different feel www.flickr.com/photos/hartwellphotography/16485021456/in/.... I like the way the yellow light makes the bridge look like its painted gold.
Ludwig Erhard Haus
Berlin
Architect: Sir Nicholas Grimshaw
"There are many places in Berlin, which are almost unknown, because the average tourist won't visit them.
Most of them are symbols of the ambitious construction programs initiated by the government of the reunified Germany in order to give to the city a new distinctive character and to launch Berlin into the third millennium.
The Ludwig Erhard Haus is a unusual and futuristic building located in the borough of Charlottenburg, just a few meters from the famous Zoolisches Garden and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.
It was designed by the English architect Nicholas Grimshaw in 1994.
Fifteen tremendous arches create the building’s signature ribbed structure that adapts to the slight curve in the irregular property at its base.
The Ludwid Erhard Haus was designed as a service center for the Chamber of Commerce and the Berlin Stock Exchange and it hosts many public and private offices as well as fairs, conferences and forums
Today, a vertical facade on the side of the building facing the Fasanen Strasse hides the actual round form of the structure. Due to his external structure, Berliners call the building "armadillo"."
The track for the CityCenter tram, reflected in windows at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas (formerly the Mandarin Oriental) as the Aria rises into the background at CityCenter, Las Vegas.
Constructed in 1894, the courthouse retains much of its original architectural detail includ- ing stained-glass skylights, decorative tilework, and even light fixtures, furniture, and telephone
booth (a la Superman). To commemorate the building’s centennial, the Auglaize
County Historical Society restored the Statue of Justice, which
formerly stood on top of the tower, but now graces the building’s lobby. You are
more than welcome to visit the courthouse during busi- ness houses—8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday--but please remember that this is a working building. Court may be in session

"A partir d'une figure simple et par la juxtaposition de cette même figure dans les différentes dimensions de l'espace euclidien, on arrive à créer un type de labyrinthe d'une grande complexité spatiale et dont le parcours laisse diverses alternatives: vers la droite et la gauche, vers le haut et le bas."
