Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum - the humanities part of the library of Humboldt university, opened on October 12th, 2009. Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 1/3, 10117 Berlin/Germany, district of Mitte (Dorotheenstadt).
Architektonisch ist der Eindruck schon sehr hinreißend, zumindest beim ersten Durchstreifen der verschiedenen Ebenen und Räume. Auch die Aussicht von der obersten zugänglichen Ebene (7. OG) auf die Stadt lohnt sich.
Aus der Sicht des (Historiker-) Nutzers ist das neue Konzept aber mindestens eine halbe Katastrophe, da mit der Einweihung der neuen Zentralbibliothek die geisteswissenschaftlichen Zweigbibliotheken ersatzlos aufgelöst wurden. Die Bestände wurden - zersplittert - auf verschiedene Etagen dieses Blocks verteilt, einige der bisherigen Freihand-Altbestände (vor allem Mittelalter) verschwanden unzugänglich im Magazin. Auch andere Details des Bibliotheksbetriebs - Zeitschriften müssen weiterhin mit Leihschein bestellt werden - lassen daran befürchten, daß hier der Form der Vorrang vor der Funktion gegeben wurde. Die konzentrierte Arbeitsatmosphäre der Zweigbibliothek Geschichte läßt sich in diesem Großkasten nicht wiederfinden. Die Lesesaalplätze sind auch nur auf der obersten Ebene angenehm - unten fühlt man regelrecht zerquetscht.
Fazit: Ein unbedingtes Muß für den Architekturinteressenten, ein deutlicher Verlust für den Bibliotheksnutzer.
I think, besides the pool deck, this was my favourite part of the cruise ship. It had just been decorated for Christmas when I boarded. Below here was a lovely large Christmas tree centrepiece and behind the tree a fabulous gingerbread village.

The Eaton Centre today
The complex was designed by Eberhard Zeidler and Bregman + Hamann Architects as a multi-levelled, vaulted glass-ceiling galleria, modelled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy. At the time, the interior design of the Eaton Centre was considered revolutionary and influenced shopping centre architecture throughout North America.
Despite the controversy and criticisms, the centre was an immediate success, spawning many different shopping centres across Canada bearing the same brand name of Eaton. The mall's profits were said[who?] to be so lucrative that it has often[who?] been credited with keeping the troubled Eaton's chain afloat for another two decades before it finally succumbed to bankruptcy in 1999. Today, the Eaton Centre is one of North America's top shopping destinations, and is Toronto's most popular tourist attraction.
Eaton Centre Galleria
[...]
The mall contains a wide selection of 330 stores and restaurants.[8] The mall is served by two subway stations, Queen and Dundas, located at its southernmost and northernmost points respectively.
With the demise of the Eaton's chain, the department store space at the north end of the mall is now occupied by Sears Canada, which is the chain's largest store in the world at about 817,850 square feet (75,981 m2), though they have converted the uppermost floors to corporate offices and the lowest floor was converted to mall space. Shortly after Sears' acquisition of Eaton's, the Timothy Eaton statue was moved from the Dundas Street entrance to the Royal Ontario Museum.[9] The complex retains the Eaton Centre name, representing an ongoing tribute to Timothy Eaton and the small shop he once opened at this location.

Architectural details of atrium of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
When I visit museums I often photograph them. I don't usually photograph the displays, but I do photograph the architecture, people, and sometimes the structural abstractions I can locate. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a favorite museum — for its collection, its temporary installations (Right now go see William Kentridge's "The Refusal of Time!")
The museum was recently remodeled and expanded, with a new wing added to the original structure. The original centerpiece of the interior architecture was the atrium, a tall central open space topped by a "turret gallery" with a catwalk. The atrium remains following the remodel, and the light in this space is often spectacular, ranging from shade to bright sunshine. During this visit the light was softened by rainy conditions outside, and the colors ranged from the warmth of electrical lighting to the cool blues of the cloud-muted light coming in through the windows.
