Newport: Towards City Spires 2010.
This photo led to a comment - see below - on the City Spires project for Newport (completion is planned for 2010).
See notes below for compartative skyscraper proposals in Cardiff and Swansea, plus a historical glance back to Llandaff Cathedral (1867) and Cardiff Castle (1869) and Cardiff City Hall (1905) tower schemes.
The tower is of course an outstanding architectural type, a signifier of temporal power and authority.
A historical reflection, therefore.
In the case of nineteenth century Industrial South Wales, we see the passage of power and authority from the ecclesiastical (- Llandaff Cathederal restoration), to the secular and industrial capitalist (- even if dressed in historicist garb: Bute's Cardiff Castle restoration scheme and Clock Tower, a patron-architect partnership in the Renaissance tradition; Bute is held by architectural historian Mark Girouard to be the single most important secular patron of architecture in British history; Bute's wealth coming from the land assets and industrial enterprise of the Bute estate), to the civic (Cardiff City Hall Clock Tower, symbolising the triumph of the municipal sphere; Cardiff Civic Centre was the UK's first planned civic centre -- typically "American Wales", its inspiration can be traced back to the 1893 Chicago Exposition, hence the Beaux Arts flavour). (-Note, cf also "Pallas Athena"; a riposte to Bute's indulgent Clock Tower).
In the C21st, we see "post-industrial" urban redevelopment strategies and their "post-modern" architectural monuments placing a new emphasis on height as a sign of desire, prestige and power.
A new matrix of property investment, spectacle, and desire. The market. The shift from social polity to consumption and "lifestyle".
New research suggests that ’likes’ and clicking links online are not enough to ensure long-term sales. Brands need to get people typing comments and more involved with content if they are to turn them into actual customers.The consumers who most actively use branded social media content are the ones most likely to maintain a relationship with those brands in future, claims new research for Marketing Week.
Seventy-eight per cent of people visiting and interacting with a brand’s Facebook page are likely to continue the relationship by visiting its website or considering it for purchase. Just thirty-four per cent of the people who say they are unlikely to interact with a brand’s social media presence on Facebook are likely to do the same.With the role of social media under question, Starcom MediaVest Group’s strategic development director Jim Kite explains: “The deeper the interaction with social media, the greater the likelihood of moving the consumer from enquiry to brand preference.”
The research draws on a study using a representative sample of 6,000 regular Facebook, YouTube and Twitter users in June. They were asked to spend several minutes interacting with content on brands’ Facebook and YouTube pages in product categories where they had already registered an interest. Respondents were asked to participate in activities requiring a range of involvement, from watching videos, posting comments, playing games and following brands on Twitter or tweeting about them.
The study claims that it is not just being aware of brands on social media platforms that leads people to continue that relationship or buy goods. It is the level of interaction or “doing something” with branded content that has a bearing.

The Hare Krishna mantra, also referred to reverentially as the Maha Mantra ("Great Mantra"), is a sixteen-word Vaishnava mantra which first appears in the Kali-Santarana Upanishad, and which from the 16th century rises to importance in the Bhakti movement following the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. According to Gaudiya Vaishnava theology, this higher consciousness takes the form of pure love of God (Krishna). Since the 1960s, the mantra has been made well known outside of India by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of Sanskrit names in the vocative case: Hare, Krishna, and Rama. It is an anustubh poetry stanza:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare (wikipedia)

Nadat de Martinskirche op 22 oktober 1943 door een bombardement bijna volledig vernield werd en afbrandde, werd ze 1954-1958 terug opgebouwd in een sterk gewijzigde vorm. Zo ontstond de huidige driebeukige hallenkerk. Het koorgedeelte werd van het middenschip gescheiden door een glazen doksaal, en doet nu dienst als kleine parochiekerk.
Beide kerkgedeelten kregen een nieuw orgel. De Fa. Hammer uit Hannover bouwde het kleine koororgel met 10 registers op één manuaal. Voor het grote orgel tekende de Orgelbauwerkstatt Werner Bosch uit Kassel.
Nachdem die Martinkirche 22 oktober 1943 durch Fliegerbomben schwer zerstört wurde und bis auf die Grundmauern abbrannte, wurde sie reconstruiert 1954-1958. Der Form veränderte dabei sehr stark, in eine dreischiffige Hallenkirche.
Einen verglasten Lettner trennt die Kirche. So enstand im Chorraum eine kleine Gemeindekirche und im Mittelschiff die Großkirche.
Beide Raume erhielten ein neues Orgel. Die Fa. Hammer aus Hannover erbaute dass kleine Chororgel mit 10 Register auf ein Manual.
Die Orgelbauwerkstatt Werner Bosch aus Kassel erbaute dass Grosse Orgel.
