Votivkirche (9, Rooseveltplatz, the provost parish church "To the Divine Savior").
History
Archduke Ferdinand Max after the rescue of his brother Franz Joseph I (assassination attempt of Johann Libenyi on 18 February 1853), suggested by an appeal the construction of a memory church, which was built from 1856 to 1879 according to the plans of Heinrich Ferstel (who at the beginning of construction was only 28 years old) together with the parsonage behind it in the style of French cathedral gothic of the 13th century on the Glacis in front of the (gate) Schottentor. Since the Glacis had not yet been released for development, the church had to be erected on the outer edge of this one and thus a few years later it stood distant from the Ring Road. Around the construction of the church there were a number of unrealized projects: the planned in a semicircular shape University of Vienna behind the church respectively a Hall of Fame (Viennese Acropolis, realized in the Arsenal) and the Tegetthoff monument in front of the church.
The site was definitively established on 25th October 1855; on 24th of April, 1856, the foundation stone was laid by Cardinal Archbishop Rauscher (commemorative plaque); on 18th of August, 1868, the completion of the tower was celebrated. The consecration was carried out by Cardinal Archbishop Kutschker on the occasion of the silver wedding of the Imperial couple on April 24, 1879 (commemorative plaque). The Votivkirche was in the monarchy (catholic) garrison church for Vienna (imperial decision of 1862). Here, too, all military funerals commenced. The Votivkirche is one of the most outstanding examples of historic architecture.

Exterior
Double tower facade with three figures portals and window rose.
Main portal
Main portal with rich figural decoration by Johannes Benk (Christ-King statue in the midst of the apostles, surrounded by models from the Old Covenant [Abel, Noe, Melchizedek, Isaak, Samson, Aaron, Moses]; in the gable above the Holy Trinity (by Josef Gasser), on the side four evangelists and Austro-Hungarian provincial patrons (Koloman [Lower Austria], Vigilius (South Tyrol), Aegius [Carinthia], Josef [Steiermark], Leopold [Lower Austria], Wenzel (Bohemia), Spiridion (Dalmatia), Michael (Galicia), Georg (Krain), Rochus (Croatia), St. Nicholas of Bari (Veneto), Ladislaus (Transylvania), Justus (Trieste), Hedwig (Silesia), Ruprecht (Salzburg), Johannes Nepomuk (Bohemia) by Franz Melnitzky and Peter Kastlunger) above the rosette "Coronation of Mary" by Gasser.

Entrance portals
The entrance portals into the transept are devoted to God the Father and the Holy Spirit. There are eight prophets, or church fathers, on the arcade arrows. The church received a new roof of Eternit-plates in 1967.
Interior
Three-aisled, ribbed vaulted basilica, with four flat side chapels on each side; three-aisled transept; choir with 7/12 closing; chapel ambulatory and apse chapel. The wall and ceiling paintings stem from Joseph von Führich, A. von Wörndle, Carl Jobst and Josef Matyáš Trenkwald. On the vault of the central nave, the Christ's Family Tree by Franz Jobst and Carl Jobst. The organ (1874-1878) by E. F. Walcker & Co. (Ludwigsburg) is the only mechanical work of this size (3,762 pipes) in Europe (Anton Bruckner has also played here).
The glass paintings of the church windows, to which Trenkwald had supplied the designs, were destroyed during the Second World War and replaced by figural windows (mostly by designs by Christine Feldmann, with the exception of the "emperor window" which was renewed according to old pattern, thus in the replacement windows there are also topics that fall into the time after church building).

Geschichte
Erzherzog Ferdinand Max regte nach der Errettung seines Bruders Franz Joseph I. (Attentat von Johann Libenyi am 18. Februar 1853) durch einen Aufruf den Bau einer Gedächtniskirche an, die 1856-1879 nach den Plänen von Heinrich Ferstel (der bei Baubeginn erst 28 Jahre alt war) samt dem dahinterstehenden Pfarrhaus im Stil französischer Kathedralgotik des 13. Jahrhunderts auf dem Glacis vor dem Schottentor erbaut wurde. Da das Glacis damals noch nicht zur Verbauung freigegeben war, musste die Kirche am äußeren Rand desselben errichtet werden und stand damit einige Jahre später fern der Ringstraße. Rund um den Bau der Kirche gab es eine Reihe unrealisierter Projekte: die halbkreisförmig hinter der Kirche geplante Universität Wien beziehungsweise eine Ruhmeshalle (Wiener Akropolis; realisiert im Arsenal) und das Tegetthoffdenkmal vor der Kirche.
Das Areal wurde am 25. Oktober 1855 definitiv festgelegt, am 24. April 1856 fand die Grundsteinlegung durch Kardinal-Erzbischof Rauscher statt (Gedenktafel), am 18. August 1868 feierte man die Turmvollendung. Die Weihe nahm Kardinal-Erzbischof Kutschker anlässlich der Silberhochzeit des Kaiserpaars am 24. April 1879 vor (Gedenktafel). Die Votivkirche war in der Monarchie (katholisch) Garnisonskirche für Wien (kaiserlicher Entschluss von 1862). Hier nahmen auch alle militärischen Leichenbegängnisse ihren Ausgang. Die Votivkirche ist eines der hervorragendsten Beispiele historisierender Architektur.

Studio Suite
Utilizing tools that the director has at hand, the Studio Suite is the system that can run a full production show. Utilizing some of the same software as the Filmer's Suite but adding the ability to synchronize video feeds from different camera sources, automatic color correction between cameras with video sync, works with virtually any camera, WIFI compatibility with audio and video sources and/or direct network, connection to other video sources over the Internet, can be used for presentation displays, record up to 3 HD sources at one time per server, clear slo-mo playback expansion packs depending on camera specs, adaptable to any type of usage, and works with Office 365 SharePoint or any SharePoint setup by using custom templates that can be installed and work with this suite.
Low Cost
Software for server should be low, no more than $99 per server and license, $299 for pro pack expansion (to be decided later).
Mobile phone software should be free, but cannot be used with the main software or access to the Office 365/SharePoint account. FREE
AnyCam Amateur Rack - connects any camera or video sources, transmitting via WIFI or network to the server. $99
GUEST Smartphone video can be synced with file-name entries and time code. FREE
- a separate mobile phone download can be used for this setup if a guest smartphone cam is used. FREE
Remote Tripod will connect to the AnyCam Amateur Rack or SereDev compatible cameras. $129 for amateur, $299 for pro.
SereDev cameras can cost anywhere between $399 and $10,000 depending on feature, manufacturer, and cost.
AnyCam Pro Rack can connect to the camera controls for remote camera use. $199
A mic can be instantly wireless via WIFI with WIFI Audio connectivity.
A/D inputs can be used with use of third party devices, we will help set this up if needed.
Lights
Compatible with DMX controllers.
Music
If there is a band who uses USB keyboards and devices, no need to mic the instruments. MIDI wireless and USB wireless can be used to control just about any sound pack available. The performer can use a tablet or smartphone to change sound, voice, pitch, and effect, or it can be programmed to follow a beat that can be preset to change automatically for concert venues.
Compatibility
Even though Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 tablets will be the selling point for this, the software utilizing HTML5 can be used on iOS devices and Android.
Smartphones
Limited control to the entire studio depending on the permissions settings in Office 365/SharePoint site.
Tablets
Full controls utilizing the touch screens to control audio, lights, video switching, etc. Depending on budget, multiple tables can be used as switch boards.
Analog Control Feel
Also USB controlled mixing boards and light boards can also be used for those who are into knobs and levers.
Venues
Churches, concerts, live events, studios, etc.
WIFI
Settings up a chain of WIFI nodes may be needed for large venues making sure that the WIFI is covered. Traditional WIFI should be okay. Commercial WIFI will be provide more security. For smartphone broadcast and sharing from guest, a separate WIFI can be setup for open WIFI to capture guest video live.
Guest Smartphone - for live events, this will be a cool feature. If a user is directed to an app store, utilizing Microsoft Tag app link, it will direct the user to the downloads page to their OS app store. It will be a Guest Smartphone App. After installing the app, there will be a prompt asking the user to remind of uninstall in a set amount of hours. On a large sign at the live venue, all the user has to do is connect to the local WIFI. It will be recommended that the WIFI is connected to the Internet so to not cut off the users normal data. If the public WIFI is not available, then a QR Code can then be used to direct the users to a launch file that will launch the app. The video is then recorded into the phone's SD card where the default location for storing video is set and transmitted to the server. The server can record all video coming from the camera directly. If the director chooses, the director can place the video live in the feed.
In editing, because three HD feeds can be recorded at the same time, the director can always edit out the footage without pain because of the synced time code within the video file itself.
The long road to development is accompanied by these nude Pillars of Progress. The lone auto rides amidst dust, where trees and forests once stood!

A followup to my photo during the interesting loading of these vessels destined for scrap. The Development Way is a semi-submersible -- the floating cargo is nudged into position, then she lifts back out of the water and everything is welded and secured in place for the trip to China.
Something I hadn't noticed until I shot this closer detail is that the Straits Logger has another three small vessels loaded on top of her.

The community participation was impressive. In addition to having made reservoirs and fountains they had dug a six kilometer one meter deep trench leading from where the source was capped to the last of a half dozen fountains.
Three villages had worked together for three months, each village working two days a week. They call this way of working together Salongo. Nearly all the villagers work on communal projects until 11h00, in the afternoon going about their own business. Teachers are excused and should a villager not which to work he can pay an exemption per day of 400 Francs Congolais, about 75 US cents.
Villagers contribute 200 Francs Congolais for the maintenance of the project. We were told that this was the same cost as two bottles of banana beer and therefore was affordable.
I suspect that the participation was particularly successful because of the help of the diocese and the lack of fighting in the village. For the villagers the diocese is credible, it supports the villagers on a variety of issues and has been doing so for years. The lack of damage from war or displacement means that villagers do not have to spend their timer repairing what has been lost and broken and hence have more time to spare for community work.
I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.
