This is what the atrium of an abandoned hotel looks during the autumn aura..
When the hotel atrium was not abandoned, there were pots with palm trees placed inside, and the walls were not covered with ivy(I've found old photos in hotel). Due to high humidity and great sunlight, the ivy grew throughout the whole atrium creating stunning scenery.

A favourite viewpoint for Liverpool Photographers, The Atrium at Central Library, this is my snap of this immense architecture.
Architect (for latest renovation): Frank Gehry (2004)
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Native son Frank Gehry was commissioned for injecting a bit of cohesion into what was a bit of a hodgepodge of successive additions and remodels to this gallery over the past century or so. In stark contrast to the ROM and Libeskind's effort there, this one is fairly muted from the street. But the interior is more successful, I think.
This spiral staircase that passes up through and continues above the enclosed glass ceiling of the atrium is one of the defining features of Gehry's remodel.
I cannot resist taking interior shots if I have the wide-angle lens in the bag. This is a handheld 6-image vertorma of the Chicago Cultural Center, one of the best places to shoot in Chicago. I took 2 sets of 3 bracketed shots at +2,0,-2 and used Photomtaix to create the flat file. Then used Photoshop to merge into a vertorama. One of the challenges shooting handheld bracketed shots is you have to watch the shutter speed for the +2 exposure. In this case my middle exposure being 1/40 sec, +2 exposure was 1/10. I was not very sure how it came out when I looked at the LCD screen. But when I opened on the monitor it did not look like a bad shot at all. I was a little amazed though. Anyways shooting at ISO 1600 meant I had to do some noise reduction using Topaz Denoise. Other than that regular Photoshop stuff including High-pass filter for selective sharpening.
Also, when it comes to shooting vertorama I do follow Klauss Herrmann's technique. Incase, anybody interested here is the link farbspiel-photo.com/learn/hdr-cookbook/interior-vertoramas. He is the best I have seen so far when it comes to interior vertoramas.

James R. Thompson Center, Chicago Loop. Atrium upshot. This architecturally decadent and much maligned building is quite polarizing in Chicago. Helmut Jahn, architect.
We stayed at the Beaumont Hotel and Spa in Ouray, Colorado, and we enjoyed the luxurious amenities of both the hotel and the spa. I took this from the third floor looking down to a seating area in the first floor lobby. There was a large atrium style window in the ceiling above me.
Back in Melbourne we visited the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) at Federation Square. This houses the finest collection of Australian art in the country (largely the result of several major bequests going back to the halcyon days of the Victorian gold rush in the 1880s).
The architecture of Federation Square is clearly post-modern, in so far as it seems to be an eclectic mix of radical styles based on geometric patterns. This atrium is a good example. It is through here that we enter the NGV (Federation Square).
The architects of Federation Square were Peter Davidson and Donald Bates from Lab Architecture.

in the XIX century, argentine president julio roca promoted the establishment of a penal colony for re-offenders - modeled after one in tasmania, australia - in an effort to secure permanent residents from argentina and to help establish argentine sovereignty over all of tierra del fuego.

The 1903 category An ex Caledonian Railway station at Wemyss Bay is an absolute gem. It is currently being refurbished and will be worth a revisit possibly by the end of the year. This is the booking office.
This brand new and still empty warehouse was built according to the French HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale, www.assohqe.org/) standard. It aims at fostering sustainable development through building practices respectful of the environment. Very much like the British BREEAM, the american LEED, the much more recent German DGNB and a good twenty other systems thoughout the world, HQE slowly expands its reach. Year after year, the association that governs the HQE standard adds new certifications. At the beginning of 2009, the new HQE-Afilog certification for logistics buildings was published. This warehouse built by the French company abcd in Marly-la-Ville, on the outskirts of Paris, was the first one to be certified. And besides, I rather like empty warehouses, there is an eerie quality to all that unused volume.
