Happy Sliders Sunday!
This image was created from two of my previous posts. I was going for an abstract pattern and "cheery" colors.
Aus einem Interview mit Calatrava
Welche Rolle spielt die Kunst für Sie?
Ich zeichne jeden Morgen. Für ein Gebäude mache ich 200 bis 300 Skizzen und Aquarelle. Das ist die direkteste Sprache, um mit meinen Mitarbeitern zu kommunizieren. Und meine Skulpturen bilden ein Vokabular, das ich in der Architektur anwenden kann. Baukunst ist die Summa artis, wie es in der Antike hiess. Sie ernährt sich von den anderen Künsten – von der Technik, von der Natur. Nichts prägt unser Leben mehr als die Baukunst. Aber Architektur umzusetzen, braucht Durchhaltevermögen, geschickte Mitarbeiter – und gute Bauherren.

Taken for the Macro Monday Theme "Opposites". Even if a real matematician might not agree...a circle and a line are opposites for me. HMM everyone!
Notre-Dame de Paris is a masterpiece of Gothic art.
The building of Notre-Dame extended over 150 years, during which all the various phases of Gothic architecture were reflected in its structure (from the great cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, and Amiens).
The interior exemplifies the grandeur of Gothic architecture with its space. It is 420 foot long, 157 foot wide and 226
foot high.
The ceiling is supported by ridged vaults, with multiple arches that come together at various points across the length of the building, covering more than 130 metres altogether.
O Palácio Real de Amesterdão (Koninklijk Paleis te Amsterdam ou Paleis op de Dam, em neerlandês), é um palácio da capital dos Países Baixos, localizado no extremo ocidental da Praça Dam, próximo da igreja Nieuwe Kerk. É um dos quatro palácios oficiais dos Países Baixos à disposição do Rei Guilherme.
Foi erguido entre 1648 e 1665 - durante o Século de Ouro dos Países Baixos, quando Amesterdão se encontrava no auge de seu poder - segundo um projecto do arquitecto e artista Jacob van Campen. O edifício, desenhado em estilo clássico holandês, foi construído para acolher a Stadhuis ("Câmara Municipal"). As esculturas vieram da oficina de Artus Quellijn. Foi inaugurado no dia 20 de Julho de 1655 por líderes da cidade. Os interiores, centrados no poder e prestígio de Amesterdão, foram concluídos mais tarde, principalmente por Rembrandt e Ferdinand Bol.
A partir de 1808, o edifício deixou de ser considerado como sede do município, ganhando o estatuto de palácio real. Desde 1939 é usado pela família real da Casa de Orange-Nassau, não como sua residência , mas com funções de representação e como casa de hóspedes para as visitas de Estado. Devido a obras de recuperação, o palácio esteve fechado ao público entre Setembro de 2005 e o Verão de 2008.
Desde 1856 eleva-se directamente em frente do palácio, no local onde antigamente se erguia a velha câmara municipal gótica, o memorial De Eendracht ("A Harmonia"), executado por Louis Royer, o qual, em 1914, teve que ser removido e instalado mais longe devido às recém colocadas linhas dos eléctricos. Em 1956 foi erguido na praça o Nationalmonument ("Monumento Nacional"). Ambos, formam um Rijksmonument

The Royal Palace in Amsterdam (Dutch: Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam or Paleis op de Dam) is one of three palaces in the Netherlands which are at the disposal of the monarch by Act of Parliament.
The palace was built as a city hall during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. The building became the royal palace of King Louis Napoleon and later of the Dutch Royal House. It is situated on the west side of Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam, opposite the War Memorial and next to the Nieuwe Kerk.

This horizontal-shaped building boasts a construction quite untypical for an urban hotel. Minimalist in many ways, it looks pretty cold for my taste, yet it neatly fits in its natural environment, smartly protected from the strong regional wind and the outside noise by glass and concrete walls, which are different in size to provide a unique perspective. // Este edificio horizontal exhibe una construcción bastante atípica para ser un hotel urbano. Minimalista en varios sentidos, tiene un aspecto bastante frío para mi gusto, aunque encaja muy bien en su entorno natural, inteligentemente protegido del fuerte viento regional y del ruido exterior por muros de hormigón y vidrio, que tienen tamaños diferentes para proporcionar una perspectiva única.

Résistez. Résistez aux séductions moutonnières de la médiocrité, à l'ignominie des retournements intéressés, aux murmures de la lâcheté qui ne recule devant l'effort que pour se trouver tout à coup, mais trop tard, acculée à la tragédie. Résistez. Résistez. Gardez par-dessus tout l'amour de la liberté et votre sens critique. Combattez par l'ironie des indignations trop légitimes. Combattez par l'espérance un pessimisme trop justifié.
