AMP Centre.
When it was built in 1976 it boasted 45 floors with the sole purpose of providing commercial office space all of which were contained within the concrete, steel and glass enclosure.
At the time of its completion the Peddle Thorp & Walker designed Mainline built structure had a roof height of 188 metres (617ft) which made it Sydney’s tallest building where from 2011-2017 the Port Authority of NSW positioned a radar on the top of the building to monitor commercial shipping in Sydney Harbour.
In 2013 BVN Architecture Pty Ltd (trading as Bligh Voller Nield) designed a masterplan for the Quay Quarter Sydney project which involved a new tower.
BVN in conjunction with AMP Capital and the City of Sydney conducted a design competition for Quay Quarter Tower which saw the winning design entry submitted by 3XN a Danish architectural practice headquartered in Copenhagen and with offices in Stockholm, London, New York and Sydney.
BVN were appointed as the Executive Architect to work with 3XN and develop their design for construction.
Construction began in early 2018 following the approvals of the project in 2015.
The appointment of the lead contractor for the project was Multiplex and they were tasked with a rebuild and reclad of the building’s exterior along with a height increase and the incorporation of the existing floor space.
Overall the building would be transformed with a complete modernisation of its external appearance and design.
On completion the redevelopment phase the height of the building was increased to a height of 216 m (709 ft) and now boasted a new floor level of 54 floors with a completely revamped interior and a100% increase in total floor space.
Today the AMP Centre is known as Quay Quarter Tower and was topped out in 2021 (In building construction, topping out (sometimes referred to as topping off) is a builders' rite traditionally held when the last beam (or its equivalent) is placed atop a structure during its construction.
Nowadays, the ceremony is often parlayed into a media event for public relations purposes. It has since come to mean more generally finishing the structure of the building, whether there is a ceremony or not. It is also commonly used to determine the amount of wind on the top of the structure).
It was finally completed in early 2022.
The International High-Rise Award in November 2022 paid the ultimate recognition outstanding contribution of 3XN and BVN injected into the project.
But the greatest honour was bestowed in December 2022 when the architects were awarded the World Building of the Year Award announced at the World Architecture Festival held in Lisbon, Portugal.

Often called "Gothic Bridge" because of its reference to Gothic design, it is officially known as Bridge No. 28. It was designed in 1864 and made of cast iron and steel. Spanning the bridle path between northern Reservoir and the tennis courts, it is one of the most impressive bridges designed by Calvert Vaux.
In 1892, on a picturesque climbing cliff - a red rock - at an altitude of 400 m above sea level, the foros church was laid. A church was built on the means of owner of the estate of the form, "Tea King" A.G. Kuznetsov in memory of "wonderful" events on October 17, 1888 at the Kursko-Kharkov Bil Station railwayWhen, during the crash, the royal family remained unharmed.
The place for the construction was chosen the most picturesque: the church was built on the red color of a sheer cliff, ripped away from the main array, surrounded by the greens of the forests. She seems to soar between heaven and earth.
The project developed an architect N.M. Chagin. The church was built in the Byzantine temple style, which is distinguished by a special technique of masonry from wide flat brick-dlinges and using numerous domes by type of Russian wooden temples. With her silhouette church reminds Moscow Churches of the late XVIII century.
Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена после железнодорожной катастрофы на станции Борки, в которую попал император Александр III со своей семьёй. К счастью, никто из членов императорской семьи не пострадал. Такое чудесное спасение стало поводом для возведения нового храма. Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена в 1892 году. Для ее возведения понадобилось четыре года. Оба яруса Церкви Воскресения Христова возведены в стиле византийских построек, а материалом послужил белый инкерманский камень. Девять куполов имеют разные размеры, что очень напоминает российские церкви ⅩⅦ столетия. Украшает церковь крыльцо, расписанное узорами, и стремящаяся высоко вверх колокольня. Использованный в строительстве каррарский мрамор, а также разноцветные витражи, придавали храму торжественность и нарядность.
European starlings (Common starling) are native to Europe and Asia and were introduced to North America in the late 1800s. They are now found throughout BC, especially around cities and agricultural landscapes. They nest in trees and human-built structures and are very aggressive when looking for nesting sites. Starlings will easily out-compete native birds and can even kill larger birds when competing for nesting sites.

I was drawn into the mesmerizing symmetry of these vaulted arches. Each line and shadow seemed to weave a silent rhythm, creating a pattern that felt both intricate and infinite. There’s something almost hypnotic about the way the light touches the edges, casting soft contrasts that give depth to the design. It’s as if the architecture whispers stories from centuries past, yet remains timelessly serene.
As I strolled along the limestone path that has been bathed by sun and rain for 1,000 years, I felt I entered a world like fantasy that came to life, that took me back in time a thousand years.

The Hsinbyume Pagoda (also known as Mya Thein Tan Pagoda) was built in 1816 by prince Bagyidaw, the son of King Bodawpaya. The prince built this impressive white pagoda to commemorate Princess Hsinbyume his late wife (whose name means the White Elephant Queen) who had passed away during childbirth. One hundred thousand emeralds were used to fund the construction of the white pagoda which can explain its other name Mye Thein Tan (Mye= emerald, Thein Tan = 100,000).
The pagoda’s architectural style is very different from other pagodas in Myamar. The base of the structure shaped like circular terraces is a representation of the seven mountain ranges surrounding Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Buddhist cosmology. The pagoda on top is said to be built after the Chulamanee pagoda in the center of the universe on top of Mount Meru. The pagoda that is topped with a gold spire enshrines a Buddha image. The seven tiered concentric base shaped like waves contains niches, some of which contain small statues of mythological figures.

The cathedral was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1908, and rebuilt in a modern eclectic style with Romanesque and Gothic elements. The initial design was by the engineer P. Carmelo Umberto Angiolini and then modified by the engineer Mariano Francesconi. The new church was consecrated in 1928. В результате войн, крупных землетрясений собор разрушался неоднократно и в результате этого его перестраивали. Последняя реконструкция, инициатором которой стал епископ Ринальдо Камило Руссо, началась в 1917 году, т.к. после землетрясения 1908 года собор сильно пострадал. Реконструкция продолжалась до 1928 года, когда восстановленный собор заново освятили в честь Успения Пресвятой Девы Марии.
