I like doors and I like countryside buildings. They both bring some kind of relaxing feelings: the fact that on the other side of the door there is a shelter and the quietness that the countryside gives.
Hội An, formerly known as Fai-Fo or Faifoo, is a city with a population of approximately 120,000 in Vietnam's Quảng Nam Province and noted since 1999 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Old Town Hội An, the city's historic district, is recognized as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century, its buildings and street plan reflecting a unique blend of influences, indigenous and foreign. Prominent in the city's old town, is its covered "Japanese Bridge," dating to the 16th-17th century.

The Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens were completed in 1880 for Melbourne’s first international exhibition, a product of the optimism, enthusiasm and energy of the people of Melbourne in the late-19th century. Melbourne was a prosperous city, basking in the wealth from the richest gold rush in the world. How better to publicise the achievements and opportunities in the colony of Victoria than by hosting an international exhibition?
Today, the Royal Exhibition Building flourishes as one of the world's oldest exhibition pavilions, symbolising the great 19th-century international exhibition movement.
Het huidige stationsgebouw werd in 1875 opgetrokken in eclectische stijl naar plannen van architect Henri Fouquet. Het gebouw lag toen aan de rand van de stad. Het plan en de symmetrisch opgestelde gebouwen - een ruim ingangsgebouw tussen zijvleugels en hoekpaviljoenen - zijn typisch voor een groter station voor doorgaand reizigersverkeer. De voorgevel kreeg een stijlvol gevelfront als eindperspectief van de Bondgenotenlaan. De plechtige inhuldiging volgde op 7 september 1879.

Construction on the Capitol began in February 1882. Originally, the exterior was to be limestone, but the stone that was quarried streaked when exposed to air. Granite, a harder, more expensive stone, was proposed. The debate delayed construction for almost two years. Finally the decision was made to use "Sunset Red" granite donated by its owners in what is now Marble Falls, Texas. The state gave the stone to the contractor along with 1,000 convicts to quarry it. When, in 1885, the granite cutter's union objected to the use of convict labor and boycotted, the contractor responded by importing experienced stonecutters from Scotland.
