Built in 1930 the Marine building is a great example of art deco architecture in Vancouver. Towering from the background is the architecture of today; the new 36 floor MNP building. The two landmarks are a contrast in style and design that can spark a lot of discussion when comparing architecture today to that of yesterday.

The Neville Bonner Building on William Street was named after Senator Neville Bonner (1922–1999), the first Indigenous Australian to be elected to the Federal Parliament.
The building of the Riverside Expressway in the 1970s divorced the land and government buildings along William Street from the Brisbane River. Completed in December 1998, the Neville Bonner Building was the first major government building constructed in what had become an unused area.
The building’s architects, Davenport Campbell with Donovan Hill and Powell Dods Thorpe, had to manage a challenging site, bounded on two sides by the Riverside Expressway and the Margaret Street off ramp, with their attendant noise and fumes. On the upstream side was the former Department of Agriculture and Stock (later DPI) building, which had opened in 1866 as an Immigration Depot. To contend with also was a drop of nine metres between William Street and Queen’s Wharf Road.
At the time of its construction, the Neville Bonner Building was considered to be architecturally intelligent and original, with its related spaces establishing new and demanding standards for future government developments. The architects collaborated with artists Barbara Heath, Ron Hurley, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott and Yenda Carson so that pieces of their art could be included in and around the building. The most visible of these is The Net by Barbara Heath. It hangs outside the entrance and references related themes of the area’s original Indigenous inhabitants, including connections between the land and river, and their associated fishing practices. Hence the idea of a net.
Writing for Architecture Australia, Professor Michael Keniger (then head of the Department of Architecture at the University of Queensland) noted that, ‘The simplicity of the planning is masked by the complexity and staccato tactility of the elevations, which are enlivened by an interplay between the inner layer of glass cladding and suspended external screens of precast concrete panels and metal mesh blades’. Not everyone agreed. Jim Soorley, then Brisbane’s Lord Mayor, described it as ‘ugly’.
The building, however, won two architectural awards for design:
• The RAIA (National) Commercial Award 1999 and the
• RAIA (Queensland) F.D.G Stanley Award & Regional Commendation 1999.
At a cultural closing ceremony held in the building in August 2016 it was announced that the yet-to-be-constructed bridge between Queen’s Wharf and Southbank would be named the Neville Bonner Bridge. The artwork from the building will be distributed between Parliament House and 1 William Street.

O Theatro Municipal surgiu para a cidade de São Paulo com incentivos fiscais e investimentos dos próprios barões do café, o arquiteto Ramos de Azevedo e os italianos Cláudio Rossi e Domiziano Rossi iniciaram a construção em 1903 e, em 12 de Setembro de 1911, o Theatro Municipal foi aberto diante a uma multidão de 20 mil pessoas que acompanhavam a chegada dos ilustres convidados.
A luxuosa construção, fortemente influenciada pela Ópera de Paris, foi considerada ousada para a época, com traços renascentistas e barrocos na fachada e, em seu interior, muitos adornos e obras de arte: bustos, bronzes, medalhões, afrescos, cristais, colunas neoclássicas, vitrais, mosaicos e mármores. São Paulo integrava-se, finalmente, ao roteiro internacional dos grandes espetáculos.

This place used to be a public school... Now it has gone through a huge restoration and will become a museum...
Sheets of flame emanate from temporary construction site buildings just north of Beijing's Central Business District. Fire broke out on one structure and spread very quickly to two others before being brought under control.

I will probably never stop liking winter but for real it's -3F right now and I already spent 20 minutes scraping the snow and ice off my car that piled up while I was gone.
Also middle right-ish on the screen...what is that red streak from?

I was stuck here for 3 nights in bad weather. Not bad place to get stuck. The river crossing was hard as it was high in the storm when i arrived and the route to in was tricky in the storm to.
