Yesler Terrace, completed in 1941, was Washington State's first public housing development, and the first racially-integrated public housing development in the United States. Integration here did not, however, include the Japanese, many of whom lived in "Japantown" (or Nihonmachi) on this site, before being forcibly relocated to internment camps, and their homes and businesses demolished under eminent domain for the construction of these rowhouses. Plans are afoot to redevelop this area as mixed-use commerical, with the status of current residents in question.

Day 7: The Admiralty Tower, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Admiralty Tower, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Admiralty building is the former headquarters of the Admiralty Board and the Imperial Russian Navy in St. Petersburg, Russia and the current headquarters of the Russian Navy. With its gilded spire topped by a golden weather-vane in the shape of a small sail warship (Korablik), is one of the city's most conspicuous landmarks and the focal point of old St. Petersburg's three main streets - Nevsky Prospect, Gorokhovaya Street, and Voznesensky Avenue - underscoring the importance Peter I placed on Russia's Navy.

Masjid Shah Alam
large mosque complex capped by a dome which is fabricated from aluminium tubes using a lightweight triangular module space-frame. Externally, the dome is clad in Islamic patterned vitreous enamelled steel "tiles" while a complementary pattern of wooden ceiling panels hangs from a separate self-supporting inner dome. Four towering minarets rise over 450 ft. to complement the majestic size of the dome. They are built in in-situ concrete using an advanced slip-form construction. Toughened glass pyramids diffuse sunlight through the pre-cast concrete funnels that roof the verandahs surrounding the building. The verandah walls are of cast aluminium in intricate Islamic patterns. The design is an attempt to creatively blend Islamic and Malay traditions.
