Renovation of the Civil Engineering building, located on the old Val-Benoît Campus in Liège. This is the place where I studied, some 25 years ago. It was a great experience to re-discover the place once entirely redesigned...
The architects, Arlette Baumans and Bernard Deffet, have really done a great interpretation of the building, transforming it while keeping the strength of its structure..
A shot across the Millennium Bridge towards the London Eye at the tail-end of a days photowalk in London. In the shadows at the bottom is the Millennium Bridge, dwarfed by the modern office blocks. Canon EOS 6D & Canon EF 80-200mm f/2.8L
Trying to stay out of the Cycle lane took a bit of effort. With the passage barely wide enough to handle the pedestrians, the cyclists had to frequently stop and dodge people not paying attention.
Brooklyn Bridge looks really good for 135 years old.

From the Petrusse valley you look from below at the imposing Passerelle bridge in Luxembourg city. The miracle of destruction is one of the landmarks of Luxembourg. In 2018 I had the chance to see the iconic viaduct.
Another photograph of a Forth Bridge in the fog.
We're all hoping that this bridge is more reliable than the present structure.
I was hearing the other day that the Golden Gate Bridge (now 78 years old) has only been closed for a period measurable in hours during it's entire history.
Ogden Point Breakwater
Sunset at the Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria, BC.
Completed in 1916, the breakwater is a 762-metre (2,500-foot) long granite and concrete wall. Over one million cubic yards of locally-quarried rock was dropped into deep water (up to 27 m [90 ft.]) to support the breakwater’s main structure of more than 10,000 granite blocks. Each block, quarried on nearby Hardy Island, weighing up to 15 tons was stacked in a nine course pyramid. Attesting to the sound engineering and meticulous construction, the breakwater has not required any major upgrades since it was built, and only 136 blocks have ever required repositioning over the intervening years.
In 2001 the breakwater and its protected docks were named a National Historic Civil Engineering Site.
In 2009, to honour the traditions and history of the Salish Nations, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) sponsored phase I and II of the Unity Wall Mural, a project that transforms the breakwater into an enormous canvas upon which established First Nations artists, and the young artists they mentor, share their stories with the world. In 2013, the GVHA also sponsored the creation of the mural’s third phase and the painting of related designs along the outer breakwater.

Wedged between the Blackfriars bridge and the present Blackfriars railway bridge, a little London history.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, colour on the canal!!
It was a busy afternoon at the Aqueduct.
We went across on a boat, but delayed a little as lots of boats trying to access both ways
Costing 12 million it will provide a pedestrian link between Hull City Centre and Hull Marina...Weighing 150 tonnes it will span the A63 which is one of Hulls busiest roads..It is due to be opened and in use by Spring.
Parts On The Fullagar Engine
Napier Faraday Centre
Ahuriri / Aotearoa
Only A Few Fullagar Engines Remain, With One Notable Example Operating At The Napier Faraday Museum In New Zealand.
A construction site scene captured from a low angle against a vivid blue sky. The boom of a yellow tower crane extends diagonally across the upper portion of the frame, while a large concrete wall panel dominates the right side. Dark steel I-beams frame the lower left, creating strong geometric lines. The bright midday light creates sharp contrasts between the industrial elements and the cloudless sky, giving the image a clean, modernist aesthetic.

[ Cross the stream in the sky ]
UNESCO has described this World Heritage Site as a " Masterpiece " of creative genius.
It Spans the Dee Valley in Wales, at 307m [ 1,007 ft ] long and 38m high, supported by 19 hollow masonry pillars.
It was one of the first projects to use cast iron on such a large scale, and the height of the construction was a significant engineering challenge
Cogitur (Latin): "It is assembled / compelled into shape")
(EN) Steel meets sky over Ibi. A tower crane sweeps its diagonal ambition across a cotton-wool afternoon while workers on a cherry picker attend to the emerging skeleton of what will become an extension to AIJU — the toy and childhood innovation centre, part-funded by the European Commission.
The rebar stubs reach upward like unfinished sentences; the structural steel frames an architecture that exists, for now, only as geometry and intention. Cumulus clouds oblige with the drama.

Acero y cielo sobre Ibi. Una grúa torre traza su diagonal ambiciosa sobre una tarde de nubes de algodón, mientras operarios en plataforma elevadora atienden el esqueleto emergente de la futura ampliación del AIJU — el centro de innovación del juguete y la infancia, cofinanciado por la Comisión Europea.
Los espigos de armadura apuntan hacia arriba como frases inacabadas; la estructura metálica perfila una arquitectura que existe, por ahora, sólo como geometrÃa e intención. Los cúmulos hacen lo propio con su dramatismo.
