The red brick Gooderham Building (commonly referred to as the Flatiron Building) at 49 Wellington Street East in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is located on the eastern edge of the city's financial district (east of Yonge Street), on the north side of the Front Street (St. Lawrence) neighbourhood wedged between Front Street and Wellington Street, where they join up to form a triangular intersection. Although a prominent landmark both for its colour and shape, it is only five storeys high. It is also the first flatiron building in a major city.
It was built in 1892 by architect David Roberts, Jr. and originally cost $18,000 to construct for distiller George Gooderham, son of the founder William Gooderham. It was the office of the Gooderham & Worts distillery until 1952 and sold by the Gooderham Estate in 1957.
It is well-known both for its narrow wedge shape, and for the mural on its back wall, which uses a trompe l'oeil effect to not only make the wall appear to have more windows than it does, but to also give it a more mobile effect by having its edges 'fluttering' away where they are not 'tacked' down. The mural, called Trompe.d'oille, was created by renowned Canadian artist Derek Michael Besant. The mural is a picture of the Perkins Building, which is located directly across the street. Saved by David and Thomas Walsh, restoration took place in 1998 by the owners Michael and Anne Tippin. The building was declared a historic site in 1975.
The IAC Building, InterActiveCorp's headquarters located at 550 West 18th Street on the corner of Eleventh Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, is a Frank Gehry-designed building that was completed in 2007.
Reminiscent of several other Gehry designs, the building appears to consist of two major levels: a large base of twisted tower-sections packed together like the cells of a bee hive, with a second bundle of lesser diameter sitting on top of the first. The cell units have the appearance of sails skinned over the skeleton of the building. The overall impression is of two very tall stories, which belies its actual 10-story structure. Vanity Fair commented that the building is perhaps the world's most attractive office building.
Germany, Bavaria, Fürstenfeldbruck, the Fürstenfeld Abbey with west front of the abbey church of the Assumption. In 1256, Louis II. Duke of Bavaria Louis, “Louis the Severe” killed his first wife, Marie of Brabant on suspicion of adultery, which later turned out to be unfounded, the penance for which, as imposed by Pope Alexander IV, was the foundation of a monastery.
The first foundation at Seldental, at Tal near Aibling, in 1258, was afterwards moved to the present site near the town of Bruck in 1263. Papal permission for the new foundation to be settled by Cistercian monks from Aldersbach Abbey had been obtained as early as 1256, but was not confirmed by the Bishop of Freising until 1265, in which year the new abbey was at last settled.
The former Cistercian monastery was founded in 1266 by Louis II, Duke of Bavaria, sacked by Swedish troops during Thirty Years' War 1632/33. In 1691 the baroque monastery building was founded. The supervision of the construction, which did not properly begin until after the War of the Spanish Succession, was the responsibility of Johann Georg Ettenhofer, who probably introduced some alterations to Viscardi's plans. In 1723 the quire was completed & in 1741 the church was dedicated, but the remaining works lingered on until about 1780, in 1803 secularised to Bavaria & in 1816 the king of Bavaria acquired the property.
👉 The building facing the "Abbey" host one amongst the best authentic food Bavarian Restaurans & Beergarden called the "Klosterstüberl". The typical Weißwurst & other characteristic local specialities are made fresh every morning by the chef & owner, for him fresh regional products, good quality & taste is a question of pride, which is appritiated by the many critical lacal custumer eating here every day.

La Casa del Rey fue, desde el siglo XII, un edificio de madera donde se vendía el pan, de ahí el nombre que aún conserva en flamenco, broodhuis (casa del pan). Fue sustituido en el siglo XV por un edificio de piedra que acogía los servicios administrativos del Duque de Brabante, es decir, el despacho del recaudador general del Señorío de Brabante; por esta razón, se le llamó Casa del Duque, y cuando dicho duque fue coronado Rey de España, pasó a denominarse Casa del Rey. Carlos Quinto la hizo a su vez reconstruir en estilo gótico tardío, muy parecido al que podemos admirar hoy en día, aunque sin torres ni galerías. Debido al desgaste sufrido a lo largo de los siglos, sobre todo durante el bombardeo de 1695, la ciudad la hizo reconstruir en 1873 en estilo neogótico.
El edificio, renovado en 1985, acoge hoy en día el Museo de la Ciudad de Bruselas.

Un classico ...
Il Duomo di Milano , monumento simbolo del capoluogo lombardo, è dedicato a Santa Maria Nascente ed è situato nell'omonima piazza nel centro della città. Per superficie, è la quarta chiesa d'Europa, dopo San Pietro in Vaticano, Saint Paul a Londra e la cattedrale di Siviglia.
La sua storia è lunga, incomincia nel 1386... vi preciso solo che nel 1805, su istanza diretta di Napoleone, Giuseppe Zanoia avviò i lavori per il completamento della facciata, in previsione dell'incoronazione a re d'Italia. Il progetto venne finalmente concluso nel 1813 da Carlo Amati. Tra gli scultori che vi lavorarono nei primi anni dell'Ottocento, si può ricordare Luigi Acquisti.
Sorry, to me is very difficult to visit people that always only leave a fav without commenting...

Al lado de la Catedral Primada de Bogotá se encuentra la entrada a la Arquidiócesis con esta linda fachada coronada con sus campanarios. La Paloma fue un extra, aunque no es de extrañar, dado que la plaza está llena de ellas.

Blick auf das Rathaus von Riesa in Sachsen
Das Gebäude weist eine interessante Geschichte auf. Es geht auf ein um 1115 gegründetes Kloster zurück, welches im Zuge der Reformation 1540/42 aufgelöst wurde. Der Gebäudekomplex wurde danach als Rittergut genutzt. Dabei erfolgte um 1600 der Umbau des Südflügels zum Schloss. 1874 erwarb die Stadt Riesa das Anwesen und richtete hier das Rathaus ein. Im ehemaligen Klostergarten befindet sich seit 1965 ein kleiner Tierpark.
