The (Fabulous) Forum
(AKA Great Western Forum, 1988-2003)
Charles Luckman, 1965-67

Luckman intended to evoke the Roman Forum. (Does that make Sam Yorty Numa Pompilius?)
Home to the Lakers, Kings, The Jackson 5, Elvis, Led Zeppelin; owned by the Faithful Central Bible Church since 2000, they are kind enough to let Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Madonna play there when in town.
Blandford Forum station looking south towards Bailey Gate on a dreary overcast day. The main station is beyond the overbridge, with the goods shed on the left. The station opened on 31st August 1863 as part of the Dorset Central Railway, later becoming part of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway. It was originally just 'Blandford', being re-named Blandford Forum on 21st Setpember 1953 and closed to passengers on that fateful day, 5th March 1966, but remained open for goods traffic until 6th January 1969. Today, the station has been wiped off the map, only the footbridge in the foreground linking Oakfield St. and Alexandra St. remains to remind you that a railway once passed underneath it's span. The trackbed northwards now forms part of a foot/cycle way known as the North Dorset Trailway.

Melbourne, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
The Forum, originally known as the State Theatre, is a landmark Melbourne entertainment venue opened in 1929. Designed by American architect John Eberson, it embodies the "atmospheric theatre" concept, evoking an outdoor setting. Its Moorish Revival exterior features a prominent copper-domed clock tower and minarets. Inside, the main auditorium creates the illusion of a Florentine courtyard, complete with a cerulean blue ceiling twinkling with 'stars'. It was once the largest cinema in Australia, seating over 3,000 patrons. Divided into two separate venues in the 1960s (Forum I and Forum II), it now primarily hosts live music, comedy, and film festivals. Forum I retains its unique cabaret-style booths, while Forum II offers tiered seating. This heritage-listed building underwent significant restoration in 2017, preserving its elaborate charm. The Forum remains a beloved and iconic part of Melbourne's cultural landscape.
Trajan's Forum (Latin: Forum Traiani; Italian: Foro di Traiano) was the last of the Imperial fora to be constructed in ancient Rome. The architect Apollodorus of Damascus oversaw its construction.

Io Saturnalia - Temple Saturnus, Forum Romanum
El nombre Saturnales viene del latín Saturnalia, nombre de una importante festividad romana asociada al fin del ciclo anual y al solsticio de invierno, dedicada al Dios Saturno.
Las fiestas empezaban el 17 de diciembre con unos rituales en el templo de Saturno, tras lo cual el Estado romano sufragaba un multitudinario banquete que se extendía por las áreas públicas y al que cualquiera estaba invitado. Entonces se adornaban las casas con plantas y figurillas y se encendían velas durante los siete días siguientes, que eran días seguidos de continuas celebraciones familiares y comilonas en que se intercambiaban regalos, celebrando la igualdad y fraternidad humana y los esclavos eran sentados a las mesas y servidos por sus dueños con los más exquisitos manjares, liberándolos de sus obligaciones habituales. La gente se felicitaba mutuamente con el grito de Io, Saturnalia, Acabada la fiesta, se empalmaba con la celebración del día del nacimiento del Sol Invicto el 25 de diciembre

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 …
Das Marx-Engels-Forum (ehemals: Park an der Spree) im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte ist eine Grünfläche, die anstelle des im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörten und danach abgerissenen Heilig-Geist-Viertels im Auftrag der DDR-Führung 1974/1975 entstand. Umgeben wird es von der Karl-Liebknecht-Straße im Norden, dem Park am Fernsehturm im Osten, der Rathausstraße im Süden und der Spree im Westen. In der Mitte der Grünfläche befand sich ein 1986 eingeweihtes Denkmalensemble, das 2010 wegen der Verlängerung der U-Bahn-Linie U5 an den nordwestlichen Rand versetzt wurde. Es besteht aus zwei Bronzeplastiken für Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels von Ludwig Engelhardt, einem Marmorrelief von Werner Stötzer, zwei Bronzereliefs von Margret Middell sowie vier Edelstahlstelen von Arno Fischer und Peter Voigt. Seit 1990 wird über die Zukunft des Marx-Engels-Forums diskutiert, wobei die Ideen vom Erhalt der Grünfläche bis zum Wiederaufbau des Heilig-Geist-Viertels reichen. (Wikipedia)

The Tokyo International Forum is a multi-purpose center in Tokyo, Japan.
One of its halls seats 5,000. In addition to seven other halls, it includes exhibition space, a lobby, restaurants, shops, and other facilities.
Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and completed in 1996, it features swooping curves of steel truss and glass; the outside is shaped like an elongated boat.
Standing between Tokyo Station and Yūrakuchō Station, its address is in Marunouchi, Chiyoda, on the site formerly occupied by the Tokyo metropolitan government (before it moved to Shinjuku).
Fiserv Forum is located in Milwaukee, WI, US and is home to the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Golden Eagles. The arena opened in 2018.
This is my first original build in over 18 months. The model uses 112 parts, though one brown curved slope is unconnected.
This was the first of the imperial forums that were constructed in Rome to relieve the overcrowded Roman Forum. Its construction started in 54 BC, on the order of Julius Caesar, and was completed in 46 BC, when Julius Caesar won a battle against his rival Pompey the Great. That is why the Forum of Caesar is also to the Temple of Venus Genetrix, a monument built to celebrate his victory. Visitors can still admire the columns and platform of the temple. However you need to know that these are not part of the original temple, who burnt down in 80 AD, but of a rebuilt version completed under the ruling of the Roman Emperor Trajan.
