Despite the government's efforts to create many green spaces, Singapore looks like a concrete city from some perspectives.
Acropolis Museum, Athens
Bernard Tschumi Architects
"Designed with spare horizontal lines and utmost simplicity, the Museum is deliberately non-monumental, focusing the visitor’s attention on extraordinary works of art. With the greatest possible clarity, the design translates programmatic requirements into architecture."

Jacques Herzog (Herzog & de Meuron):
"Wir suchen Materialien, die so atemberaubend schön wie die Kirschblüten in Japan sind oder so verdichtet und kompakt wie die Felsformationen der Alpen oder so rätselhaft und unergründlich wie die Oberflächen der Ozeane. Wir suchen Materialien, die so intelligent, virtuos und komplex wie Naturerscheinungen sind, also Materialien, die nicht nur die Retina des erstaunten Kunstkritikers kitzeln, sondern auch wirklich effizient sind und alle Sinne ansprechen - nicht nur die Augen, auch die Nase, die Ohren, den Geschmacks- und Tastsinn."
Es ist ihnen hier vortrefflich gelungen, wie ich finde! ;-))

Let me breath you in and breath the words in your mouth
Inside your shivering, the silence shouts so loud
I just want to, I just want to stay around
And while my heart beats,
I promise I won't let you down
If I'm somewhere else it doesn't mean that I don't see
That you don't trust yourself,
That's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy,
When you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me,
But what you know is just skin deep
If you keep building these walls,
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all, until the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start,
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all,
Until the concrete angel falls www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFz10R529g&ab_channel=Gareth...
In the 1970s cities in Germany fell for the credo "concrete is good for you". In my hometown, much of the historically grown was sacrificed for efficiency, and with it the soul many a place once had. Here's my attempt to make it at least look interesting...
Another shot of the basement car park at the University of Melbourne. It is an unusual design, quite contemporary at the time, both in terms of aesthetic as well as design. The car park was used in the filming of Mad Max.
The large (up to 2.5 metres in diameter) sandstone boulders at Red Rock Coulee are concretions - formed undersea, in this case the shallow "Bearpaw Sea" that covered much of the North American interior when the dinosaurs still roamed. Eighty million years old, give or take, they now sit on the Alberta prairie like gigantic, misshapen cow pies.
I wondered what I could do with a fish eye lens here, so when the sun emerged from a cloud bank very late in the evening, I got out the Rokinon 8mm. Keeping the camera level produces a straight horizon; any tilt and there is a pronounced curve. The limitation lies in its extraordinary 180° field of view: if I shifted to the right, the sun would be in my frame; to the left and I have to deal with my own shadow. And the photo op turned out to be brief; I had time for half a dozen shots and then the light faded.

This momumental building, former head office of the Rotterdamsche Cementsteen Fabriek ("Rotterdam Concrete Brick Co.") was build in 1898, and can be found in the southern part of Rotterdam, Netherlands. It is the last building standing on this former factory terrain (now a park). Although it is a listed building, it has been neglected for years and is still awaiting renovation. The unique facade ornaments and large parts of the building are made of concrete, making it one of the first houses in the Netherlands using this material extensively.
