New York è (quasi) come la immagini. Arrivi e ti sembra di averla già vista. Pensi: ma io qui ci sono già stato. E invece no. Allora provi a farti sorprendere. Devi farti sorprendere.

 

New York fa male al collo, perché sei costretto a tirarlo indietro per guardare in alto. E non sei abituato. Ti fa inciampare nell'avvenirismo più assurdo, spericolato, tracotante e nello squallore più inimmaginabile.Empire State Building È una città che sta sempre in piedi, non dorme mai New York.

 

I taxi gialli, a ogni ora del giorno e della notte, basta chiamarli dalla strada e si fermano. E i tassisti hanno facce diverse e inquiete, di messicani, cinesi, indiani

 

Poi New York,NY dall'alto invece, eccola. Con la forma che immaginavi (sapevi) potesse avere, visto da lontano, il grumo di grattacieli di Manhattan. Con lo scintillio futurista e insieme curiosamente domestico di fronte a cui ricordi d'esserti stupito

The new parliament building is just inside the new city gate, it's behind schedule and over budget.

 

It was designed by Renzo Piano who also designed the Scottish parliament building (which was also late and over budget - if memory serves me well).

The West Side Market, located at West 25th Street and Lorain Avenue in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood, is the city's oldest still operating public market in the city. The market can trace its roots to 1840, when the first market house for the then-independent City of Ohio was built across West 25th Street on the current site of Market Square Park, which saw the construction of a one-story wooden market house in 1868, known as the Pearl Street Market, and was a center of activity on the near west side for decades. Due to massive population expansion during the late 19th Century, the old market house became inadequate for the needs of the enlarged population, and thus in 1902, a larger tract of land was purchased across West 25th Street, and plans were set in motion for the current market house. In 1912, the current market house, designed by local architecture firm Hubbell and Benes, opened to serve the near west side's population. Constructed in the Neoclassical and Byzantine Revival style, the Market consists of two structures, a large concourse building with 100 market stalls for sellers of various goods, and an L-shaped 85-stall produce market building that wraps around the side and rear of the building away from the street. The building quickly became a major landmark in the city, and features a large and highly visible and iconic clocktower that towers over the intersection of Lorain Avenue and West 25th Street. The West Side Market Tenants' Association was formed in 1915 to maintain the market and provide resources for upgrades and renovations, which still is in existence today. The building has been renovated several times, most notably in 1953, 1973, the 1990s, and 2004. Today, the market is a hub of activity and one of the city's most notable and iconic sites, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, owing to its architectural significance and cultural importance to the city.

I was able to visit the synagogue in Florence that Sabbath morning and found the gate forbidding. I did however get to go inside and worship for a while. Then on leaving I asked a pedestrian to shoot me in front of this massive and dramatic building. The building was more awesome than the worship.

This building houses the Cold War Exhibition at RAF Cosford.

I visited the Integratron building for a sound bath in Joshua Tree, California, for my birthday, September 2018. It was the most incredible experience and I highly suggest EVERYONE go for this deep and expanding cleansing.

This nice building can be found just behind the Museum of Contemporary art. But this square turned out to be less crowded, the beauty isn't less though.

I refer to this as Samsung Cathedral, because there is a huge ad for the company draped over the front of the building. Samsung is helping restore the church.

The workers in the picture help give a scale to the size of the building. The light brown material in the picture is 4'x8' Hardie panel with shadow line reveals. The Tyveked geometric shape is the Master Bathroom. This will be sheeted in galvanized corrugated metal.

The Dominion Observatory building was completed in 1905 with the main instrument, the refracting telescope, observing for the first time on April 17th. The telescope was open to the public every Saturday night, with almost 3000 names recorded in the "visitor's book" during the summer of 1905. Public viewing continued until the telescope was moved to the Canada Science and Technology Museum in 1974, where it is still in use.

It is good that the city takes care of its buildings, however, it has a melancholic look to it.

The Luma Building is a rare example in Glasgow of an art deco building and was built to coincide with the Empire Exhibition that same year and held in the nearby Bellahouston Park.

 

Its designer Cornelious Armour was a house architect for the SCWS who worked on a number of their factories and shops. Not a lot is known about his original work although he is credited with extensions to the SCWS linoleum factory, a listed building still in Falkland, in Fife. Interestingly, the same Swedish cooperative also had an interest in this factory. The fact is that Cornelius may simply have been a project architect working to a given design, for the Luma building is strikingly similar to the Luma building in Stockholm designed by Artur von Schmalensee and Eskil Sundahl in 1930. Like Luma in Glasgow, the Lumafabrikens buildings in Stockholm, now called Luma Park, are listed and preserved as offices and housing.

Ratu Boko is an archaeological site known to modern Javanese as Kraton Ratu Boko, believed built in 8th - 9th AD. The original name of this site is still unclear, however the local inhabitants named this site after King Boko, the legendary king mentioned in Loro Jonggrang folklore. In Javanese, Ratu Boko means "Stork King". Ratu Boko displays attributes of an occupation or settlement site, although its precise functions is unknown. Probably the site was a palace complex which belongs to the kings of Sailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also build temples scattered across Prambanan Plain. The argument was based on the fact that this complex was not a temple nor building with religious nature, but a fortified palace instead which evidence in the remnant of fortified walls and the dry moat as defensive structures. The remains of settlements also founds in Ratu Boko vicinity. Since the pillars, walls, and the roof were made from easily decayed material such as wood, sirap (wooden shingles roof) or ijuk (fibers collected around the trunks of Areng palm, Arenga pinnata). Only the stone base still remains while the organic wooden material of the building is gone.
