Das Caixa Forum im futuristisch anmutenden, vom Architekten Santiago Calatrava entworfenen Ágora-Gebäude in València ist Teil des Gebäude-Ensembles in der Stadt der Künste und Wissenschaften. Der Name Caixa ist ident mit der gleichnamigen spanischen Bank, die die Caixa Foundation gegründet hat. Diese Stiftung verwaltet nicht nur das Caixa Forum in València, sondern auch Foren-Gebäude in anderen Städten wie z.B. in Barcelona. Im Ágora-Gebäude werden Ausstellungen über antike Zivilisationen, technologische Entwicklungen wie künstliche Intelligenz und Kunstausstellungen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen gezeigt. Das Auditorium im Ágora-Gebäude fasst mehrere hundert Personen und wird auch für musikalische Darbietungen genutzt.
The Caixa Forum in the futuristic Ágora building in València, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, is part of the ensemble of buildings in the City of Arts and Sciences. The name Caixa is identical to the Spanish bank of the same name, which established the Caixa Foundation. This foundation not only manages the Caixa Forum in València, but also Forum buildings in other cities such as Barcelona. The Ágora building hosts exhibitions on ancient civilisations, technological developments such as artificial intelligence and art exhibitions from various disciplines. The auditorium in the Ágora building can hold several hundred people and is also used for musical performances.
S'étendant entre le Capitole, le Palatin et l'Esquilin, le Forum à l’origine était un vallon marécageux. A la fin du VIe siècle av. J.C., le roi étrusque Tarquinius Priscus (dit Tarquin l'Ancien) assainit la vallée en construisant l’un des premiers systèmes d’égout au monde : la Cloaca Maxima. Le Forum (de l’adjectif forus, signifiant "à l'extérieur" : dans les premiers temps le forum était situé en dehors de la ville) Romanum ou Forum Magnum est construit à partir du VIIème siècle av. J.-C sur une ancienne nécropole et il subira continuellement des aménagements et des modifications. Selon Vitruve, le forum romain est rectangulaire avec une proportion entre longueur et largeur de 3 pour 2, contrairement à l'agora grecque qui est carrée. Il est pendant plus de douze siècles la place publique où les citoyens romains se réunissent pour traiter d'affaires commerciales, politiques, économiques, judiciaires ou religieuses. Se trouveront ici entre autres, le sénat (Curie), la tribune aux harangues (Rostres), le temple de Saturne, de Castor et Pollux, de la Concorde et plusieurs basiliques …
Stretching between the Capitol, Palatine and Esquiline, the Forum originally was a marshy valley. At the end of the 6th century BC J.C., the Etruscan king Tarquinius Priscus (known as Tarquin the Elder) cleans the valley by building one of the first sewage systems in the world: the Cloaca Maxima. The Forum (adjective forus, meaning "outside": in the early days the forum was located outside the city) Romanum or Forum Magnum is built from the 7th century BC. J.-C on an old necropolis and it will continually undergo adjustments and modifications. According to Vitruvius, the Roman forum is rectangular with a proportion between length and width of 3 to 2, unlike the Greek agora which is square. It is for more than twelve centuries the public place where Roman citizens meet to deal with commercial, political, economic, judicial or religious affairs. Will be found here among others, the senate (Curie), the tribune with the harangues (Rostres), the temple of Saturn, Castor and Pollux, the Concorde and several basilicas …

Forum is the unique eye-catcher of Wageningen Campus. Here, educational facilities, restaurant facilities and the Wageningen UR library are brought together on a grand scale.
Forum houses the main part of all educational facilities. All BSc and MSc courses of Wageningen University use this beautiful building. A part of Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences is also located in Forum. Forum offers lecture halls, teaching labs, and the library.
The heart of this castle-like building contains a restaurant, a grand café and various shops centred on the central courtyard called ‘Agora’. An ideal place to work, study, use the internet and meet colleagues and friends.
Quist Wintermans Architects compares Forum to a castle. This castle is square and monolithic from the outside. On the inside however, the building is complex, containing courtyards and a large diversity of functions and activities. At the stairwells, large slots have been created that emphasize the separate parts of the building. On the top floor all parts are connected and the roof is the same height everywhere. This way, the building doesn’t separate into its different sections, but remains a monolith when seen from the outside.
The students of Wageningen University and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences are the main users of Forum. The building also houses the Student Service Centre (SSC), the International Office, the Student Deans, the Library, Language Services (formerly CENTA), Wageningen Futurepoint (contact point for students and alumni of Wageningen University), the Biology Office, a number of student associations and the Wageningen Student Union (WSO).
The offices and research laboratories of Wageningen UR are not located in Forum. They can be found in other buildings of or off-campus, within walking or cycling distance of Forum.

Seen is one of the buildings in the Roman Forum, aka (in Latin) Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), a forum/plaza of ancient building ruins in the center of the city of Rome, Italy.
Arch of Septimius Severus (Arco di Settimio Severo) at Roman Forum in Rome, Italy
Info: 'Starting in 66 BC, the Romans engaged in a series of battles with the Parthian Empire (ancient Iran) known as the Roman-Parthian Wars. When peace was declared in 202, this triumphal arch was erected at the Roman Forum the following year. Its namesake was Septimius Severus. He was a Roman emperor from 193 until 211. The monument measures 75.5 feet tall and 82 feet wide. Years later, the conflicts with Parthia were renewed until the empire was finally destroyed in 226.'

The building to the right of the church is the Curia, the meeting place of the Roman Senate (rebuilt in 80 BC).
From left - Church of Santa Maria di Loreto, Trajan Column and the church of Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano.
Rome, Forum, view towards the Via Sacra, the Colosseum and San Giovanni in Laterano. One of the most fascinating places in all Rome, the forum, the beating heart of the ancient city, now blends several layers of history: you can actually see how the christian churches grew out of the ancient pagan temples. Better be warned, though, the via sacra can be a via dolorosa, visiting the forum in mid-summer is entering a furnace where shade is rare.
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum. (2/26/2019)
