The Forum, a community building in Norwich, Norfolk.
It stands opposite the St Peter Mancroft Church. Designed by Michael Hopkins and Partners, the Forum was built as a millennium project for the East of England and finished in October 2001. Built on the site of the previous Norwich Library which burnt down in 1994, the Forum is visited by more than 2.5 million people every year. The building is home to the Norfolk & Norwich Millennium (NML) library, the local Tourist Information Centre, and the BBC East offices and studios, where the regional television news bulletin BBC Look East and local radio station BBC Radio Norfolk are based.
Since The Forum opened, the amphitheatre-like steps at the front have provided a venue for many different functions such as: amateur theatrical performances, outdoor opera, musical competitions, art exhibitions, processions, celebrations and a real-ice skating rink.
Because the forum is funded partly by lottery grants, they hold certain events which are free of charge for people to attend. For example, Retro Arcade 2: Megablast in which Fusion (a digital gallery) is transformed into a vast array of gaming machines.
The Forum is also perfectly placed for people to meet and have certain social events safe in the knowledge that others from the area will know where it is. It is seen as a very social spot and is notorious for attracting skaters and free runners who parade their skills to the crowds surrounding them. In keeping with its image of being a notorious meeting place within the city, gamers have chosen the forum as the place to hold their first 3DS streetpass event within the city.
The Forum is part of Norwich 12, a collection of notable buildings in Norwich spanning the Norman, medieval, Georgian, Victorian and modern eras.

The Lower East Side neighborhood of Loisaida is known for its famed murals and the artists who create them. It’s also the birthplace of Thrive Collective and our School Murals program at PS/MS 34 in 2007. We were delighted to return with a second mural project in 2016 — this time exploring the neighborhood’s cultural identity on the focal wall behind the stage in the auditorium.
Thrive Collective’s first school mural project, before we were known as Thrive Collective, was the Dream Walls in the schoolyard of PS/MS 34.
Eingangstor
Im gigantischen Gemeindebau Karl-Marx-Hof in Wien Heiligenstadt, der 1930 eröffnet wurde, gab es zwar den für die damalige Zeit noch seltenen "Luxus" von Fließwasser und WC innerhalb jeder Wohnung, aber noch keine Badezimmer und Waschmaschinenanschlüsse. Als Gemeinschaftseinrichtung wurden in zwei Innenhöfen sogenannte Waschsalons errichtet, wo Körper und Wäsche gewaschen werden konnten. Nach und nach verloren diese Waschsalons ihre Bedeutung und Funktion. So wurde schließlich einer davon in ein Museum umgewandelt, das immer wieder sozial bedeutende Ereignisse der Vergangenheit thematisiert. Allein der Name Waschsalon ist für das Museum geblieben.
Entrance gate
In the gigantic municipal housing complex Karl-Marx-Hof in Vienna Heiligenstadt, which was opened in 1930, there was the "luxury" of running water and a toilet in every flat, which was still rare at that time, but there were no bathrooms and washing machine connections. As a communal facility, so-called wash houses were built in two inner courtyards where bodies and laundry could be washed. Gradually, these wash houses lost their importance and function. Eventually, one of them was converted into a museum, which always focuses on socially significant events of the past. Only the name Wash house has remained for the museum.

Major General William Starke Rosencrans
W.S. Rosencrans, soldier, engineer, architect and inventor, was born in Kingston Township in 1819. After graduation from West Point in 1842, he served in the Engineering Corps then taught at West Point. As a civilian, he engineered a river lock system and perfected lamp oil. During the Civil War, Rosencrans commanded Union Armies of the Ohio, the Cumberland and the Missouri, and developed a popular war- time ambulance. "Old Rosy" led his troops to victory at Luka, Corinth, Stones River and Tullahoma. He helped raise $789,000 for soldiers' relief and designed St. Joseph's Cathedral in Columbus. He later served as Minister to Mexico, Registrar to the U.S. Treasury and as a Congressman from California. He died in 1898 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Sunbury was an Ohio stagecoach town from 1820 – 1873.
From its beginning in 1816, Sunbury was destined to be a stagecoach town. Anticipating large numbers of stagecoach travelers, the town's founder, Lawrence Myers, built an inn at the intersection of two major stagecoach routes (the old Walhonding Trail and the Delaware Newark Pike). In 1820, the first stagecoach arrived in Sunbury from Mt. Vernon. Famous stagecoach travelers who stopped in Sunbury included William Henry Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes, Henry Clay and Johnny Appleseed. Railway travel became more prevalent, and consequently, the last stagecoach rolled out of Sunbury in 1873.

www.thrivecollective.org/portfolio/i-am-longwood/
In June, the Longwood section of the Bronx became a little brighter and more colorful. Students from PS 333 and 335 worked together on a shared schoolyard mural that offers a glimpse into how they see their neighborhood and how it shapes their identity. For six weeks, students from six classes in the building — three classes from each school — joined us in the yard to help paint the mural, along with dozens of volunteers on Saturdays. The results were fantastic.
www.thrivecollective.org/portfolio/welcome-ps-236/
How do you welcome someone into your house and in your neighborhood? This is the question that elementary students from PS 236 wrestled with and explored while creating this mural.
As you can see their imagination is boundless and the result is a fantastical land where a pink elephant, a purple octopus, a monkey and several other characters along with students and adults live together in harmony.
The mural was graciously sponsored by Councilman Cabrera who was present for the ribbon cutting celebration. So, if you ever walk into PS 236 in the Bronx, feel welcomed.
Lois' section of a group mosaic project -- a bench outside the movie theatre in Davis, California. This mosaic used ceramic tile, stone tile, glass baubles, and some of my hand-made ceramic bits.
Well-known mosaicist Donna Billick led the team, collected all the "stripes", built the flying carpet structure, and grouted the work.

I know it's not perfect, but it's the best design I could come up with considering the dark red parts I had available.

Neighbors in East Tremont section of the Bronx have something great to brag about: the I Am East Tremont school mural at PS 58x.
The mural highlights the diversity of the neighborhood, the various activities the students enjoy doing in school, and noteworthy people in the community such as the Coquito Lady and firefighters.
If you find yourself on Washington St. and East Tremont, don’t forget to stop by and admire the mural.
For extra credit: can you identify Mrs. Gunn the principal?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimont,_Minnesota
Trimont is a small community nestled in south central Minnesota. Trimont was once two different towns, platted by competing railroads. The two towns were Triumph, to the east, and Monterey to the west. These towns joined, using the first letters in each town's name, to form what is today known as Trimont. This gives Trimont the unique characteristic of two separate Main Street business districts which are on the same street, yet placed about a half-mile apart.
