The Golden Mile Complex is a commercial and residential development, providing offices, shopping, entertainment services and apartment living within its podium and stepped terrace structure. It houses 411 shops, 226 offices and 68 residential units.[2] The building was designed by Gan Eng Oon, William Lim and Tay Kheng Soon of the Singapore architect firm Design Partnership, now known as DP Architects.
Sited on 1.3 hectares and built to a height of 89 metres (292 feet),[5] the Golden Mile Complex is an exemplary type of "megastructure" described by architectural historian, Reyner Banham. It is one of the few that have been actually realised in the world. Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate Fumihiko Maki had called the Golden Mile Complex a "collective form". It successfully propagates high-density usage and diversity under a broad range of ideas advanced by the Japanese Metabolist Movement of the 1960s. The complex was designed as a "vertical city", which stands in contrast to homogenised cities where functional zoning restrains all signs of the latter's vitality.
Conceived as a prototype for a lively environment, the design of the Golden Mile Complex was intended to catalyse urban development along Beach Road by employing an extruded section that would stretch along the East Coast facing the sea. In terms of public transport and accessibility, the building is serviced from the rear on Beach Road, instead of its frontage with Nicoll Highway, with a continuous pedestrian spine linking all buildings in the Golden Mile of Beach Road. The design was influenced by the linear city concepts of Le Corbusier and Arturo Soria y Mata.[6]
The stepped profile of the Golden Mile Complex offers the occupants of the apartments on the upper floors a panoramic view of the sea and sky. All the apartments have balconies, and two-storey maisonette penthouses crown off the building. The narrowness of this sloping slab form enhances natural ventilation and shades a lofty communal concourse above the podium along Beach Road. The stepped design also reduces the impact of noise from the road traffic. The Golden Mile Complex preceded by several years avant-garde stepped-section buildings which were built in the United Kingdom and Europe.[6]
The lower floors contain offices and a retail mall, located within staggered atria to allow natural light into the heart of the building.
Centurion Drive, Delta Township, Michigan. Many years ago I spent a week meeting with a vendor in one of these offices. Couldn't tell you which building, though.
Not sure I could tell you much about the project, either. My job spent a lot of time in meetings....
Hmmm. My computer's spell checker's having a issue with the word week. Life is a mystery.

Workers demolish a facility at the Biology Complex at Y-12 National Security Complex, a 2010 accomplishment at Oak Ridge. The Recovery Act funded the demolition of four facilities at the Biology Complex, reducing the site’s footprint by 135,000 square feet.
The complex was comprised of two fires - the Saddle and Stud Fires - which merged on August 22, 2011 into one fire that burned more than 32,200 acres on the Salmon Challis (16,649 acres) and the Bitterroot (15,588 acres) National Forests in Idaho and Montana. Portions of the fire were within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. To see more fire photos visit www.inciweb.org/incident/2496
(65th Commemoration of D-Day on the Hillman site)
Hillman Fortress is located inland near Colleville-Montgomery, formerly known as Colleville-sur-Orne, on the British landingzone codenamed Sword Beach.
Built in 1942, this German occupying forces strongpoint (WN17) is a concrete set of 600 meters long where the headquarters of the 736th Regiment Grenadiers was established. It consists of 18 half buried blockaus connected by underground passageways.
On the evening of 6 June 1944, the British First Suffolk Regiment fought a costly battle to win the Hillman strongpoint, but the Germans had resisted long enough to allow the Wehrmacht 21st Panzer division regroupment and deny General Montgomery the advance into Caen.
On 9 June, Rommel is back on the front and the 21st Panzer division is grouped with two SS units.
The Allied Forces captured Caen after a month of fighting, including heavy Allied air raids.
Hillman site is being restored since 1990 by an association called "Les Amis du Suffolk Régiment".

The Qutb complex refers to an array of monuments and buildings at Mehrauli in Delhi, India, the Qutub Minar standing out as the most famous. Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty, and his successor Iltutmish (aka Altmash) first constructed the complex in their new city, called the Qila-Rai-Pithora, near Prithivraj Chauhan's older city. Many subsequent rulers, including Iltutmish and Ala ud din Khilji as well as the British added to the complex.
In addition to the most famous monument in the complex, Qutub Minar, other important buildings and structures stand in the complex, including the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, the Ala-I-Darwaza, the Alai Minar, and the Iron Pillar. Twenty-seven previous Jain temples had been destroyed and their materials reused to construct the minar and other monuments of the complex. That resulted in the creation of a unique, Indo-Muslim architecture, blending the gods of Jainism and Hinduism with the symbols and architectural designs of Islam.

LC-37B launched unmanned Saturn I flights and was modified and launched Saturn IB flights in the mid sixties, including the first (unmanned) test of the Apollo Lunar Module in space.[3] It is still in use today as the launch site for Delta IV, a launch system operated by United Launch Alliance.
The lighting I used is diffused which comes from the windows about his head. I wanted to show street wear fashion in our generation as teens and young adult. The pose I told him to do is to show confidence and to not let anyone tell you what to wear and what not to wear. I tried to bold and use colors that pop to show was the magazine is about. The text and his pose shows how bold he is.

Centre Georges Pompidou (constructed 1971–1977 and known as the Pompidou Centre in English) is a complex in the Beaubourg area of the IVe arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles and the Marais.
It houses the Bibliothèque publique d'information, a vast public library, the Musée National d'Art Moderne, and IRCAM, a centre for music and acoustic research. Because of its location, the Centre is known locally as Beaubourg. It is named after Georges Pompidou, who was president of France from 1969 to 1974, and was opened on January 31, 1977.
The Centre was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, the British architect couple Richard Rogers and Sue Rogers, and the British structual engineer Edmund Happold (who would later found Buro Happold) and Irish structural engineer Peter Rice. The project was awarded to this team in a design competition, whose results were announced in 1971. Reporting on Rogers' winning the Pritzker Prize in 2007, the New York Times noted that the design of the Centre "turned the architecture world upside down" and that "Mr. Rogers earned a reputation as a high-tech iconoclast with the completion of the 1977 Pompidou Center, with its exposed skeleton of brightly colored tubes for mechanical systems. The Pompidou 'revolutionized museums,' the Pritzker jury said, 'transforming what had once been elite monuments into popular places of social and cultural exchange, woven into the heart of the city. The characteristic piping is color-coded according to the contents: yellow for electricity, red for transport(elevators), blue for air, and green for water'"[1].
