Skopje University, three almost identical faculty buildings face each other across a large open space
nrhp # 72000475- John F. Rague is credited with designing the Territorial Capitol Building, he had previously designed the 1837 capitol of Illinois and was supervising its construction when he got the commission to design the new Iowa capitol in 1839. He quit the Iowa project after five months, claiming his design was not followed, but the resemblance to the Illinois capitol suggests he strongly influenced the final Iowa design.[4] One surviving 1839 sketch of the proposed capital shows a radically different layout, with two domes and a central tower. The cornerstone of the Old Capitol Building was laid in Iowa City on July 4, 1840. Iowa City served as the third and last territorial capital of Iowa, and the last four territorial legislatures met at the Old Capitol Building until December 28, 1846, when Iowa was admitted into the United States as the 29th state of the union. Iowa City was declared the state capital of Iowa, and the government convened in the Old Capitol Building.
The Iowa constitution was crafted in the Old Capitol Building. The first governor of the state of Iowa was inaugurated there, and the first six Iowa general assemblies met in the building. 59 days after being admitted into the union, the state of Iowa passed legislation in the Old Capitol Building authorizing the formation of the state's first public university, the State University of Iowa, which is known today as The University of Iowa.
After ten years of housing the government in Iowa City, the state decided to move the state capital to Des Moines, a city located more toward the center of the state. When the state government moved to Des Moines in 1857, the Old Capitol Building became the first permanent building owned by the University of Iowa.

The architecture in Washington DC is remarkable. Everywhere you turn there is an interesting structure. I didn't get a chance to identify this building, but the lines created at this angle caught my eye.
My favorite building in Japan. The Tokyo International Forum was designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects of New York, Charles Blomberg being the project Architect. This is the steel structure at the top of the glass hall. To see more of this building please visit my places set.
Ehemaliges Palais Bartolotti-Partenfeld
Objekt ID: 30727 Dorotheergasse 2–4
Katastralgemeinde: Innere Stadt. Dieses bemerkenswerte barocke Stadtpalais wurde um 1720, wahrscheinlich von Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt erbaut. Die Fassade ist mehrfach geknickt und auf die Dorotheergasse ausgerichtet, während am Graben nur vier Achsen zu sehen sind. Oberhalb eines genuteten Sockels mit zwei von Hermenpilastern eingerahmten Korbbogenportalen befinden sich die durch ein Kordongesims geteilten Obergeschoße. Die Fensterdachungen sind rhythmisiert angeordnet und aufwändig gestaltet. Im ersten grabenseitigen Obergeschoß befindet sich in einer Rundnische die Steinskulptur einer Madonna mit Kind.

The Hugh O'Neill building, restoration and conversion to loft apartments nearly complete. This fine building was once a big department store.
Detail of modular ornamental geometric soffit over north entrance. This is characteristic of the ornament found in George Grant Elmslie's later work in the midwest.
Mehrere tausend Menschen beteiligen sich am 22.09.2018 in Berlin an dem jährlich stattfindenden, fundamental-christlichen "Marsch für das Leben". Die Teilnehmer fordern ein völliges Verbot von Abtreibungen und setzen sich für die Wahrung christlicher Werte aus fundamentalistischer Sicht ein.
Der Marsch wird über die gesamte Wegstrecke hinweg von lautstarken Gegenprotesten linker, feministischer Gruppen begleitet. Diese setzen sich für die Entscheidungshoheit von Frauen über ihren eigenen Körper, sowie aktuell die Abschaffung des Paragraphen 219a ein, der es Ärzten untersagt, für Schwangerschaftsabbrüche zu werben.
