I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
Cause I'm still here
Altamont, 10 stories of massive brick and limestone, overwhelmed its predecessors. The $1 million structure was part of a two-decade trend of spectacular hotels that opened throughout the region, including Wilkes-Barre’s Hotel Sterling (1898), Scranton’s Hotel Casey (1909), Tamaqua’s Majestic Hotel (1924) and Pottsville’s Necho Allen (1927). In terms of elegance and accessibility, the Altamont beat its downtown competitors, located just over a block from the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station and along a highway that ended at Philadelphia’s footsteps.
The Altamont was a tribute to Thomas’ modern convictions. The shining red edifice commanded its street corner, confidently standing above church steeples and Victorian storefronts. Guests could access the hotel at its formal entrance on Broad Street or its arguably more expansive opening on North Church Street. Iron marquees extended over the building’s sidewalks, protecting guests from Hazleton’s typically unpredictable weather.

New York-New York Hotel & Casino is a hotel and casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip at 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada. It is one of the largest casinos owned by MGM Mirage.
New York-New York uses the New York City theme of its name in many ways. Its architecture creates an impression of the New York City skyline; the hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City skyscrapers, such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. In front of the property is a pool representing New York Harbor, with a 150 ft (46 m) tall (half-scale) replica of the Statue of Liberty, a roller coaster, and replicas of the Brooklyn Bridge, Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Grand Central Terminal, among other well-known structures. Within the resort, particular gambling areas, bars, eating areas and meeting rooms are named after New York City neighborhoods or landmarks. The main casino area, for example, is named after Central Park, while the "Village Eateries" food court is modeled after New York City's Greenwich Village, even including real menus from New York Chinese takeout restaurants taped to the doors of the mock apartment buildings. New York-New York uses the trademarked slogan "The Greatest City in Las Vegas".
The resort is located on the northwest corner of Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection. At street level, pedestrians are blocked from crossing by concrete barriers. Instead, New York-New York is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos to the south (the Excalibur, across Tropicana Avenue) and to the east (the MGM Grand, across the Strip).

I'll have to admit being obsessed with these window variations lately. Especially the arched ones. The initial idea was to use SNOT techniques to better integrate these car fender parts when using them for details on buildings. The one shown here is similar to those in part one and two, but with some tricky building to achieve the thin part between the windows.

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (PPFMOS, formerly known as the Miami Science Museum) is a science museum, planetarium, and aquarium located in Miami, Florida, US. Originally located in Coconut Grove, the museum relocated to Museum Park in the downtown area adjacent to the Perez Art Museum Miami in 2017.
In March 2011, Miami native Phillip Frost and his wife, Patricia, donated $35 million to the construction of a new science museum in Downtown Miami. The museum was designed by London-based Grimshaw Architects, and Miami’s Rodriguez & Quiroga Architects Chartered played an executive role.
The new 250,000 sq ft (23,000 m2) Philip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (PPFMOS) opened on May 8, 2017 in Museum Park in downtown Miami. The new museum includes: the Frost Planetarium, a 250-seat full-dome screen with a diameter of 67 feet (20 m) and a 16-million-color, 8K projection system; a three-story, cone-shaped, 500,000-US-gallon (1,900,000 L) aquarium with a 31-foot (9.4 m) diameter oculus lens at the bottom for viewing the fish and sharks; and the Knight Learning Center with four classrooms.

Hong Kong Polytechnic University“The fluid character of the Innovation Tower is generated through an intrinsic composition of its landscape, floor plates and louvers that dissolves the classic typology of the tower and the podium into an iconic seamless piece. These fluid internal and external courtyards create new public spaces of an intimate scale which complement the large open exhibition forums and outdoor recreational facilities to promote a diversity of civic spaces.” - Zaha Hadid, Architect, Innovation Tower
