THE BLACK EAGLE COMPLEX is probably the most monumental architectural accomplishment in Oradea
( Varadinum ) and in Transylvania, as far as the Secession building style is concerned. The contest to build this architectural complex was won by architects Komor Marcell and Jakab Dezső. Its construction, on the old location of the “Black Eagle” Inn, begins in 1907, under the supervision of construction engineer Sztarill Ferenc, and in December 1908, the edification is complete.
Black Eagle Palace has an interior passage covered with glass element that it singles secession architecture in the context of our country and also attract the attention of tourists. The palace is “Y” shaped with three entrances dominated by one eagle, emblem of the building. Part of the passage entrance from the V. Alecsandri street and from Union square is shaped like an eagle’s beak.
On the facade that is situated at Union square, you can see the features and the beautiful secession style clock tower. Note the ground ornaments (floral and zoomorphic), combined with other styles of baroque or rococo, and a mixture of elements is that make Black Eagle Palace an architectural monument special and a unique expression of artistic thinking from the early twentieth century.
And it is the largest and most representative architectural ensemble Secession style in Transylvania.
Complexe funéraire de Djéser. Égypte 1983.
Il est, dans l'histoire de l'architecture égyptienne, le second ouvrage édifié en pierre de taille. Il marque une évolution importante de l'architecture monumentale.
En effet, le tombeau du roi prend, pour la première fois et après de multiples modifications, la forme d'une pyramide. Cette innovation marque la naissance d'un nouveau type de sépulture.
Bien que l'appartement royal ait été complètement pillé dès l'Antiquité, le mobilier archéologique dégagé lors des fouilles de cet ensemble funéraire n'en est pas moins d'une importance exceptionnelle.
Des milliers de vases et de coupes gisent encore au fond des galeries, attendant d'en être extraits. Deux sarcophages d'albâtre, dont l'un contient encore le squelette d'un enfant, sont encore placés au sein des galeries de la famille royale.
Le complexe fut conçu par l'architecte Imhotep. Il est l'aboutissement d'une architecture évoluant depuis la IIe dynastie.

The buildings in this historic mill complex date from 1850 till about 1890. They were used to manufacture wool, cotton, paper bags, and then, finally, chocolate from the early 1900s till World War II. More recently the old mill buildings have been renovated and repurposed as retail, dining and office space. Ballston Spa, New York.

[ENG] The citadel of the Alhambra, located on the hill of al-Sabika, in Granada (Spain), is one of the most important architectural complexes of the Middle Ages and the greatest exponent of Islamic art in the West. Its history begins in the ninth century with military purposes, it was gradually expanding and in the thirteenth century, with the arrival of the first Nasrid monarch Mohamed ben Al-Hamar, the construction of the palaces that marked his time of greatest splendor began. The Alhambra was officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1984. Other pictures in Nasrid palaces.
[ESP] El Salón de Embajadores está situado en la Torre de Comares y era el centro simbólico del poder nazarí, donde se ubicaba el trono del rey desde el que presidía el gran consejo en presencia de todos los grandes del reino, y donde se celebraban las recepciones oficiales. Presenta planta cuadrada, es la sala más espaciosa y majestuosa del palacio, se accede desde la Sala de la Barca por una puerta de doble arco, y en cada una de los otros tres muros se abren tres cámaras, todas iguales excepto la situada frente a la puerta que es mayor y más ricamente decorada. Los paramentos están íntegramente revestidos de decoración, en su parte inferior conserva los zócalos alicatados originales en los que predomina la decoración geométrica de lacería o arabescos, y sobre estos se desarrolla la rica decoración de yesería con ataurique de hoja larga y fina, que da lugar a la figura de lirio sobre fondo rojo, con lazos, y con inscripciones epigráficas.
La ciudadela de la Alhambra, asentada sobre el Cerro de al-Sabika, en Granada (España), es uno de los complejos arquitectónicos más importantes de la Edad Media y máximo exponente del arte islámico en Occidente. Su historia comienza en el siglo IX con propósitos militares, fue paulatinamente ampliándose y en el siglo XIII, con la llegada del primer monarca nazarí Mohamed ben Al-Hamar, se inició la construcción de los palacios que marcaron su época de mayor esplendor. Tras la conquista de Granada por los Reyes Católicos en el siglo XV se hicieron reformas y Carlos V inició la construcción del palacio que lleva su nombre. En el siglo XVIII quedó abandonada. Durante la dominación francesa parte de la fortaleza fue volada, y hasta el siglo XIX no comenzó su reparación y restauración, que aún se mantiene. Más fotografías en el álbum Alhambra.

The Bass Maltings complex at Sleaford was completed in 1907 to the designs of the company’s chief engineer, Herbert Couchman. The planning of the development dated back to 1880, when Bass, Ratcliffe and Gretton Ltd proposed the development of sixteen new malthouses in the Sleaford area of Lincolnshire. The area was a major producer of English barley, and was well-served by the rail network, which made possible the bulk transportation and distribution of both barley and the finished malt. Construction on the scale proposed dwarfed other centres of malt production, and was driven by the need to reduce production costs by increasing the scale of production, and by locating the malting process close to the source of the barley, rather than at Burton-on-Trent at the site of the Bass brewery. Bass’s requirement for malted barley had increased after it became a public company in 1888 in order to provide the capital for the development of its own public houses. The company identified a suitable source of water in Sleaford by boring an artesian well in 1892, and in 1901, purchased 13.3 acres of land around the well site. Plans for the development were submitted in 1901, work on site began in the same year, and malting began in 1906. Only eight maltings were completed rather than the sixteen originally envisaged, and the complex was finally completed in 1907.
The Sleaford maltings were traditional floor maltings, with soaked or ‘steeped’ barley spread over the several germinating floors before being kilned to produce the finished malt. This linear process replicated on a massive scale the traditional design of floor maltings found in farmsteads and small breweries throughout England, and continued to be constructed until the mid-C20, despite the development of pneumatic malting in the late C19.
From 1907 until the outbreak of the Second World War, the Sleaford maltings operated at full capacity, producing malt more cheaply than could be achieved at the company’s Burton maltings. However, in the post-war era, production was reduced and vacant space in the maltings ranges was let to local businesses. The closure of the maltings in 1959 was precipitated by Bass’s installation of a new automated pneumatic-mechanical malting system in four of its Burton-on-Trent maltings. This system allowed the malting process to be carried on throughout the year with a very small labour force, making the process far more cost efficient than could be achieved at Sleaford.
Following the cessation of malting on the site, various parts of the complex were occupied by other businesses. Partial occupation and a lack of maintenance made the site vulnerable to damage, fires breaking out in 1969, and again in 1976, this time resulting in the far greater loss of original fabric when the central range’s barley store and screens, and parts of three malthouses were severely damaged. The complex was added to the statutory List in November 1974, and various parts of the complex remained in use until 2000, when the site was closed.

One of Wawel's two artillery towers, Sandomierska Tower was built around 1460 to defend the castle against attack from the south. A small chamber on the third floor would have served as either a guard's lodging or a prison for nobles, whereas common criminals were held in the dungeons.
The Wawel Royal Castle is a castle residency located in central Kraków, Poland, and the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the world. Built at the behest of King Casimir III the Great, it consists of a number of structures from different periods situated around the Italian-styled main courtyard. Wikipedia
The castle is part of a fortified architectural complex erected atop a limestone outcrop on the left bank of the Vistula River, at an altitude of 228 metres above sea level. The complex consists of numerous buildings of great historical and national importance, including the Wawel Cathedral where Polish monarchs were crowned and buried. Some of Wawel's oldest stone buildings can be traced back to 970 AD, in addition to the earliest examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Poland.[5][6] The current castle was built in the 14th-century, and expanded over the next hundreds of years. In 1978 Wawel was declared the first World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Centre of Kraków.
For centuries the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood, Wawel Castle is now one of the country's premier art museums. Established in 1930, the museum encompasses ten curatorial departments responsible for collections of paintings, including an important collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles, among them the Sigismund II Augustus tapestry collection, goldsmith's work, arms and armor, ceramics, Meissen porcelain, and period furniture. The museum's holdings in oriental art include the largest collection of Ottoman tents in Europe. With seven specialized conservation studios, the museum is also an important center for the conservation of works of art.
