UP TO eight residential tower blocks once owned by Wirral Council are to be closed.
New owners Wirral Partnership Homes says bringing the towers up to standard, coupled with low occupancy rates, means they are no longer viable.
The blocks earmarked for the axe over the next one to three years are Melrose, Sandbourne, Thornridge (all Moreton), Flambards (Woodchurch) and Thorsway (Rock Ferry).
Five high rise blocks are to be refurbished: Sunningdale (Moreton), Liscard House (Liscard), Brackendale (Woodchurch) and The Towers (Tranmere) with Knowsley Court (Rock Ferry) and Neston Gardens (Birkenhead) being subject to minor remedial work and further review.
Council's cabinet member for housing, Cllr GD, said that times have changed and the desire for high rise living has dwindled.
"Some of these blocks used to have long waiting lists for tenants. Now they can hardly fill them," he said.

Le palais des papes, à Avignon, est la plus grande des constructions gothiques du Moyen ge. À la fois forteresse et palais, la résidence pontificale fut pendant le xive siècle le siège de la chrétienté d'Occident. Six conclaves se sont tenus dans le palais d'Avignon.
Le palais, qui est l'imbrication de deux bâtiments, le palais vieux de Benoît XII, véritable forteresse assise sur l'inexpugnable rocher des Doms, et le palais neuf de Clément VI, le plus fastueux des pontifes avignonnais, est non seulement le plus grand édifice gothique mais aussi celui où s'est exprimé dans toute sa plénitude le style du gothique international.

The Palais des Papes is a historical palace in Avignon, southern France, one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. One time fortress and palace, the papal residence was the seat of Western Christianity during the 14th century. Six papal conclaves were held in the Palais.
The Palais is actually made up of two buildings: the old Palais of Benedict XII which sits on the impregnable rock of Doms, and the new Palais of Clement VI, the most extravagant of the Avignon popes. Not only is the final combination the largest Gothic building of the Middle Ages, it is also one of the best examples of the International Gothic architectural style.

La cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms est une cathédrale catholique romaine située à Avignon, à côté du Palais des papes d'Avignon. De style roman provençal, elle date de 1150, puis fut agrandie aux xive et xviie siècles par des chapelles latérales.
La Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms d'Avignon est située sur la partie nord d'Avignon intramuros. Elle a été construite sur une protubérance rocheuse au nord de la ville, le rocher des Doms, surplombant la rive gauche du Rhône.
Sa position sur le rocher, sa flèche imposante surmontée d'une vierge et sa proximité du Palais lui permettent à la fois de dominer la ville et d'être vue de très loin.

Avignon Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms d'Avignon) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, located in Avignon, above the Palais des Papes. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Avignon.
The cathedral is a Romanesque building, mainly of the 12th century, the most prominent feature of which is the gilded statue of the Virgin Mary which surmounts the western tower. Among the many works of art in the interior, perhaps the most beautiful is the mausoleum of Pope John XXII, a masterpiece of Gothic carving of the 14th century.

This once thriving theater in downtown McMinnville, built in 1939, by Cowan Oldham, held 1,000 people, with one screen. This building was shut down in 1986, due to a contract with the Cumberland Amusement Company. The building is closed, but was bought out by a private group, and is currently being renovated to be a live entertainment center, and multi-use facility. The Theater is located along Main St., which is also old US70S (and TN1)
In 1825, the young landscape painter Charles Mozin discovered Trouville, a little fishing port in Normandy. In Paris, he exhibited his Trouville paintings to other artists who later followed him to the new found paradise : Isabey, Monet, Corot, Boudin, Proust, Dumas, Flaubert. During the Second Empire, from 1852 to 1870, Trouville became a very famous seaside resort. It was during this glorious period that villas, splendid hotels and casinos were built along the beach. Quiter and less expensive than its neighbour town Deauville, Trouville is since the 19th century a much appreciated tourist destination for Parisians and other French and international travellers.

In 1825, tânǎrul pictor de peisaje Charles Mozin a descoperit Trouville, un mic port pescǎresc din Normandia. La Paris, şi-a expus picturile având ca subiect Trouville altor artişti, care ulterior l-au urmat pentru a descoperi noul paradis: Isabey, Monet, Corot, Boudin, Proust, Dumas, Flaubert. In timpul celui de-al doilea Imperiu (1852-1870), Trouville a devenit o foarte cunoscutǎ staţiune maritimǎ. In aceastǎ perioadǎ de glorie s-au construit splendidele vile şi hoteluri, dar şi cazinourile din lungul plajei. Mai liniştitǎ şi mai puţin scumpǎ decât staţiunea învecinatǎ, Deauville, Trouville a devenit încǎ din secolul al XIX-lea o destinaţie turisticǎ foarte apreciatǎ pentru parizieni, ca şi pentru cǎlǎtori din toatǎ Franţa şi din alte ţǎri.

Holy Cross Church, Seend, Wiltshire.
The Church of England parish church of the Holy Cross is a grade I listed building in Seend, Wiltshire, it is built of rubble stone faced with ashlar. The oldest part may be the low west tower, which predates the late-15th-century Perpendicular Gothic nave. The Perpendicular Gothic north aisle is also late 15th century, paid for by the clothier John Stokes (died 1498). There are memorial brasses to Stokes and his wife in the north aisle. Over the chancel arch are traces of either a carved rood or a wall painting of the Crucifixion. Holy Cross has a west gallery that was built early in the 18th century. It bears two dates: 1706 and 1726. The chancel was rebuilt in 1876 to designs by the architect A.J. Style. The font is Perpendicular Gothic. It was dug up and restored to the church in 1939. By 1553 the tower had three bells; it now has a ring of six. Four of the bells, including the treble, were cast in 1636 by Roger I Purdue of Bristol. The fifth bell was cast in 1793 by Robert and James Wells of Aldbourne. In 1880 Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the present tenor bell and recast one of Purdue's 1636 bells. In 1912 W. & J. Taylor of Loughborough recast Purdue's treble bell.
A Brief History of Architectural Model Making - Part 1
Model making is a key facet of any successful architectural programme. People may think that architectural model making only began when the technological revolution gave us the ability to build accurate and exact replicas, but actually architectural model making has a rich tradition stretching back through the ages.
Quite simply, where there has been architecture there has been architectural making. Building a scale model of a proposed building is one of the best ways to bring a building to life. The main function that an architectural model serves these days is a selling one - an architectural model is presented to a potential financial backer or client.
The idea behind a model is to further assist the financial backer or client to understand exactly what the building is intended to offer and will therefore enlighten them further as to whether it may be something they are interested in.
