i'd titled this Falling Water, and immediately thought of the house designed by F. L. Wright, so amended the title.
This isn't that Falling Water.
One of the few shots with which I'm happy, taken from this side of the waterfall. Most of my shots from this side of the waterfall have blown out highlights as I shoot into the sun. I can't remember why three years ago I was able to get a better angle.
There is a color toning in Nik Silver Efex that I like and I'm experimenting with trying to find it using only Photoshop. I'm getting closer. This with a gradient map of amber - ultramarine.
Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe. In front of and behind the manor, the original design of the gardens was carefully restored. That is why you won't see any animals in this part of the enormous premises of the Animal Park. But you'll find plenty of them at a short distance.
Friedrichsfelde Manor house, designed in the early neo-Classical architectural style, is located in the Berlin Animal Park in the Friedrichsfelde district of Berlin. It was built in 1685 as Rosenfelde Manor by the Electorate of Brandenburg's Director General of the Navy, Benjamin Raule. This first five-axes building was probably constructed in the Dutch country house style according to plans by Johann Arnold Nering. In 1698, Benjamin Raule fell from grace and was imprisoned and expropriated. The castle fell to the Prussian Elector and later King Frederick I and was renamed Friedrichsfelde. After the king's death, the property was transferred to his half-brother Margrave Albrecht Friedrich von Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1717. In 1719, court architect Martin Heinrich Böhme enlarged the palace by three axes each to the east and west to its present width and added a three-winged Baroque staircase made of oak.
The castle survived the Second World War relatively undamaged. After the expropriation in the course of the land reform, both the building and the surrounding manor park fell into disrepair. When the decision was made in 1954 to create a separate zoo for East Berlin, the palace served for a few years as the headquarters of the organisers of the garden's conversion; parts of the building were used as stables for the zoo. It was not until the period between 1970 and 1981 that the castle was renovated on the initiative of Tierpark Berlin. The director of the Animal Park at the time, Heinrich Dathe, campaigned massively for the preservation of the manor house and prevented plans to demolish it.
L’île de Versailles est une île artificielle de 1,7 hectare, créée en 1831 et occupée à l’origine par des tanneurs et des charpentiers de marine, a été transformée en jardin japonais à partir de 1983. La composition des rocailles et des cascades s’y articule autour de 3 bâtiments inspirés de l’habitat traditionnel nippon. Parmi eux, la Maison de l’Erdre, qu’entoure un jardin zen, sert de cadre à des expositions consacrées à la rivière et son environnement aquatique. Située au cœur de l'île, la Maison de l'Erdre s'inspire d'un pavillon de thé japonais dans lequel le maître de maison reçoit ses hôtes : La conception s'inspire des réalisations des architectes nippons et reconstitue un paysage de nature. Les érables et les pins sylvestres taillés en arbres nuages structurent le jardin. Les massifs de bambous recréent une ambiance asiatique. Azalées, rhododendrons, cerisiers et merisiers annoncent le printemps par leur floraison, en écho avec ce que la nature exprime au Japon. La maison de l'Erdre, conçue comme un pavillon de thé, accueille des aquariums. L’île de Versailles, située sur l'Erdre à Nantes, est une île artificielle qui a été réalisée avec des matériaux de terrassements et de dragages lors du creusement du canal de Nantes à Brest. Le paysage recréé et structuré par des rocailles, cascades et pièces d'eau est richement planté de végétaux exotiques tels que bambous, cyprès chauves, rhododendrons, camélias et cerisiers du Japon.
The island of Versailles is an artificial island of 1.7 hectares, created in 1831 and originally occupied by tanners and shipwrights, was transformed into a Japanese garden from 1983. The composition of the rock gardens and waterfalls are structured around 3 buildings inspired by traditional Japanese housing. Among them, the Maison de l'Erdre, surrounded by a Zen garden, serves as a setting for exhibitions devoted to the river and its aquatic environment. Located in the heart of the island, the Maison de l'Erdre is inspired by a Japanese tea pavilion in which the master of the house receives his guests: The design is inspired by the achievements of Japanese architects and recreates a natural landscape . Maple trees and Scots pines cut into cloud trees structure the garden. The bamboo beds recreate an Asian atmosphere. Azaleas, rhododendrons, cherry trees and cherry trees herald spring with their flowering, echoing what nature expresses in Japan. The Erdre house, designed as a tea pavilion, houses aquariums. The island of Versailles, located on the Erdre in Nantes, is an artificial island that was made with earthworks and dredging materials during the digging of the Nantes-Brest canal. The landscape recreated and structured by rockeries, waterfalls and ponds is richly planted with exotic plants such as bamboos, bald cypresses, rhododendrons, camellias and Japanese cherry trees.

Hügelpark
The Villa Hügel is a 19th-century mansion in Bredeney, now part of Essen, Germany. It was built by the industrialist Alfred Krupp in 1870–1873 as his main residence and was the home of the Krupp family until after World War II. More recently, the Villa Hügel has housed the offices of the Kulturstiftung Ruhr (Ruhr Cultural Foundation), an art gallery, the historical archive of the Krupp family and company, and a concert venue.
Hügel simply means "hill", as the villa sits atop a hill. It was sometimes named Villa Krupp, after the family.
History
In 1864 Alfred Krupp purchased the Klosterbuschhof on the heights above Bredeney and had it rebuilt as a residence for his family. Over the following years, Krupp bought additional land around the estate and in 1869 placed an advertisement in Deutsche Bauzeitung looking for an architect who would turn his designs for a "large villa" into a viable blueprint. In the event, a number of architects worked on the project over the following years. Krupp himself continually intervened in the work with new ideas. His focus was very much on a modern and efficient house: design elements were secondary to him and he deemed most ornamental architectural features superfluous.
The foundations were laid in April 1870 and up to 800 people worked on the construction project at a time. Since Alfred Krupp wanted a very modern home, the villa was intended to be fire-proof and well insulated from sun, wind, cold and heat. It featured double-paned windows, water heating and an early form of air conditioning. The temperature was intended to be independently adjustable for each room. A large complex of support buildings was erected nearby, including private water and gas works.
Krupp pushed for a speedy completion, although the Franco-Prussian War and collapsing mining tunnels underneath the edifice slowed construction. On 10 January 1873, the family moved in; some of the technical features did not work as expected, however, so work continued after that.
Alfred Krupp died in 1887. The family continued to use the Villa Hügel and Friedrich Alfred Krupp and his wife Margarethe made some significant changes to the house, adding sumptuous ornamentation. Among other heads of state and monarchs, Emperor Wilhelm II stayed at the Villa Hügel seven times and visited 9 times. The current appearance of the villa is mostly due to the next generation of Krupps, Friedrich Alfred's daughter Bertha and her husband Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, who hired Ernst von Ihne to work on the building after 1912. He added wooden paneling to the interior and the owners furnished the villa with numerous works of art.
An annex called the Little House (Kleines Haus) containing sixty rooms was used to confine Alfried Krupp in the aftermath of the Second World War. Some parts of the villa were used to house members of the British post-war Control Commission, Germany (CCG) during 1946.
Description
The house has 269 rooms and occupies 8,100 m2 (87,000 sq ft). It is situated in a 28-hectare (69-acre) park that overlooks the River Ruhr and the Baldeneysee.
The main complex consists of the three-storied Wohnhaus ('residence') – topped by a belvedere, which originally contained the air conditioning ducts – and a three-storied Logierhaus ('lodging house'). The two were linked by a winter garden, now a two-storied building. The construction is supported by an iron framework, which was very modern for the time. The overall style of the original building was a very austere example of a late-Neoclassical villa; later changes added more ornamentation. The interior of the main building's ground and second floors is dominated by the main hall of over 400 m2 (4,300 sq ft). By contrast, the rooms of the first floor (which is not open to the public) were kept relatively simple.
Today
In 1953 the Krupp family opened their former residence to the public. Exhibitions have been held here since then. The Villa Hügel also served as a place of representation for the Krupp Group. In 1984, Berthold Beitz set up the Ruhr Cultural Foundation, which organizes major art and cultural exhibitions in the villa. The main building with many historical rooms can be visited today. The Krupp historical exhibition is housed in the adjoining building, the so-called Little House. The Krupp archive has also been located in the villa since 1905.
The hall is also the regular concert venue of Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen, a chamber orchestra.

Der Hügelpark ist die zur Villa Hügel gehörige, 40 Hektar große Parkanlage im Essener Stadtteil Bredeney, die der Industrielle Alfred Krupp ab 1869 plante und errichten ließ.
Geschichte und Charakter
Ursprünglich war bei der Anlage des Parks eine Zusammenarbeit mit einem renommierten Gartenarchitekten vorgesehen. Im Gespräch waren Joseph Clemens Weyhe und Johann Heinrich Gustav Meyer. Mit keinem der beiden kam ein Vertrag zustande. Stattdessen wurden die Vorstellungen Alfred Krupps durch seinen Obergärtner Friedrich Bete umgesetzt.
Es war eine Verbindung zwischen dem Angenehmen und dem Nützlichen vorgesehen. So sollte er auf der einen Seite der Repräsentation und der Erholung dienen, auf der Anderen war geplant, das Personal mit landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnissen zu versorgen. Von dem ursprünglich 127 bis 153 Hektar umfassenden Areal der Villa waren rund 13 bis 15 Hektar für die Landwirtschaft vorgesehen.
Unmittelbar um die Villa waren, mit Ausnahme des nördlichen Bereiches, Garten- und Parkanlagen vorgesehen. Die Nutzflächen sollten sich an diese anschließen. Nach den Vorstellungen von Alfred Krupp sollten sich im Park Wohnungen, Stallungen, Grotten, Treibhäuser, Brunnen, eine Reitbahn, Höfe, Gartenanlagen, ein Wasserdruckwerk, Springbrunnen, Kaskaden, Fischteiche, ein Wildpark, Viadukte, Brücken, Pferde- und Viehweiden befinden. Nachdem Krupp Brachewitz die Verantwortungen für die Planung der Villa immer mehr entzog, sollte er die Planungen für die Gebäude im Außenbereich übernehmen. Für die Ausführung war er nicht vorgesehen. Krupp sagte dazu, dass er: „nicht aber mit der Ausführung, weil das gar nicht sein Fach ist, wie ich mich vollständig überzeugt habe und wovon ihm gegenüber auch kein Hehl zu machen ist.“ Ihm zur Seite sollte Johann Heinrich Gustav Meyer gestellt werden, von dem allerdings nur drei Zeichnungen für das Gewächshaus angefertigt wurden.
So entstanden nach den Ideen von Alfred Krupp und Brachewitz sowie Bete Skizzen für eine Parkanlage südlich des Hauptgebäudes. Er bestand aus zwei Ebenen, welche von einem Park umgeben waren. Die obere Terrasse entstand aus dem Bodenaushub, welcher beim Bau der Villa anfiel. Diese Ebene war von einer Futtermauer eingefasst und sollte mit geometrisch angeordneten Baumpflanzungen und einem Teich gestaltet werden. Anfängliche Skizzen dieser Mauer hinterließen, besonders durch die beiden Wehrtürme an den Ecken, den Eindruck einer Festungsmauer. Der zweite Entwurf wurde mit einer Pergola und dem Eingang zum Weinkeller einschließlich Sitzgelegenheit aufgelockert.
1869 fertigten Brachewitz und Bete die erste Planung für diese beiden Terrassen an. Die Flächen bestanden zu weiten Teilen aus Rasen und wurden durch geschwungenen Wege mit Nischen für Statuen und Sitzbänke durchzogen. In der Mitte der Quermauer befand sich das Stibadium. Dahinter schloss sich der die obere Ebene umfassende Laubengang an. Unterhalb des Stibadiums war eine Grotte vorgesehen.
Ein weiterer Entwurf wurde 1870 angefertigt. Der Erholungsbereich war hier, entgegen der des ersten Planes, auf den unteren Bereich beschränkt. Der obere Bereich wurde geometrisch gestaltet und enthielt drei rechteckige Beete.
Der endgültige Entwurf beinhaltete ebenfalls die Aufteilung der oberen Ebene in drei rechteckige Teile. Jedoch wurden diese jetzt von einem breiten Weg gequert. Der geplante Teich entfiel aufgrund der hohen Kosten und des schlechten Untergrunds.
Zum Zeitpunkt des Baus der Villa Hügel war das Areal eine kahle Anhöhe mit Wiesen, Weiden und Ackerflächen. Dies entsprach allerdings nicht den Vorstellungen Alfred Krupps von seinem künftigen Wohnsitz. Um den Eindruck eines Waldes noch zu seinen Lebzeiten zu bekommen, wurden zahlreiche größere Bäume eingepflanzt. Krupps Wunsch war es „etwa 50 jährige … große, ältere Bäume … zuvörderst Buchen, Eichen, Linden, Platanen, Tannen, Fichten“ anzupflanzen. Zu diesem Zweck schickte er einen Angestellten nach Paris, um sich über den Bau eines neuen Boulevard zu informieren, wo erfolgreich Bäume diesen Alters eingepflanzt worden waren. Krupp ließ rund einhundert Bäume aus Mülheim an der Ruhr und Gelsenkirchen einpflanzen. Heute noch erhalten sind der Platanenhain am westlichen Hang unterhalb der Terrasse, die Buchen am ehemaligen Reitweg und die Rhododendren in der Schlucht.
Auf der oberen Terrasse war ein Quadrat mit 7 mal 7 Linden vorgesehen. Diese ersetzten das Arrangement von 4 mal 5 Linden, welche den ursprünglich geplanten Teich umschlossen. An diese Fläche schlossen sich beidseitig Beete an. Westlich schloss sich dann eine Rasenfläche an, welche mit kugelförmigen Buchsbäumen und Araukarien eingefasst wurde. Der Laubengang, welcher die obere Terrasse umfasst, wurde von Nadelgehölzen, Buchsbäumen, Lebensbäumen und Eiben umschlossen. Die untere Terrasse bestand zu weiten Teilen aus Rasen, Ziergräsern und Laubbaumbeständen. Bei den Bäumen handelte es sich um Buchen und Linden.
Die Wege waren ausschließlich als Kieswege ausgeführt. Zudem befanden sich zahlreiche Sitzmöbel, Skulpturen, Lampen und Vasen über den gesamten Bereich des Parks verteilt. 1883 war der Park in dieser Form fertiggestellt.
Während unter Alfred Krupp hauptsächlich einheimische Pflanzen den Weg in den Park fanden, änderte sich dies nach seinem Tod 1887. Unter seinem Sohn Friedrich Alfred Krupp, und später Bertha Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, wandelte sich ab 1888 der Park mehr und mehr zu einem Repräsentationsobjekt. So wurden zunehmend seltene und exotische Pflanzen eingesetzt, wie die Anlage einer Orchideenzucht unter dem Nachfolger Betes, Friedrich Veerhoff, zeigt. Bis zur Versetzung nach Shanghai war im Park ab 1896 das Li-Hongzhang-Denkmal aufgestellt.
Der heutige Hügelpark befindet sich nicht mehr in seinem ursprünglichen Zustand. Zum 150. Jubiläum der Friedrich Krupp AG 1961 wurde die Anlage umfassend nach Vorbild eines Englischen Gartens umgestaltet. Die zwei unterschiedlichen Ebenen im Bereich südlich der Villa sind heute nicht mehr zu erkennen. Dieser Bereinigung fielen auch die künstlichen Wasserläufe und Quellen zum Opfer. Von den insgesamt über 50 Gebäuden auf dem Gelände der Villa Hügel sind neben dem Haupthaus nur noch die drei Portiergebäude, das Gäste- und das Spatzenhaus erhalten geblieben.
Die Parkanlage, verwaltet von der Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung, ist eingebunden in das European Garden Heritage Network. Sie ist heute öffentlich zugänglich. Seit 2008 wird eine generelle Eintrittsgebühr erhoben, die auch den Besuch der Villa Hügel einschließt.

Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935, situated in Pennsylvania, 70 km south of Pittsburgh in the Laurel Highlands.
The house was built over a waterfall on Bear Run and is surrounded by enchanting grounds and wonderful forest. It is truly integrated within its natural surroundings.
For me, the passion for Japanese architecture that Wright held is strongly reflected in the design of Fallingwater, particularly in the harmony between the exterior and interior spaces and then also, the strong emphasis placed on harmony between man and nature.
The house was designed as a weekend home for Edgar J Kaufmann Sr and his wife Liliane and their family.

This week you guys get three photos. I finished two houses now I only have one for to go and then the water tower:) I'm so close to being done. I bought the last parts needed to finish a few days ago so my roadmap of finishing by mid June seems to be coming together.
Credit to Elliot A for the house design, I used his original as the basis for mine.
Off Fifth Avenue, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The building in the photograph is the Harry F. Sinclair House. Designed in the French Renaissance style by renowned architect C.P.H. Gilbert, it was built between 1897 and 1899. The building is a National Historic Landmark. It now houses the Ukrainian Institute of America.
The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed in Wright's Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building inspired an architectural revolution. Its sweeping horizontal lines, dramatic overhangs, stretches of art glass windows and open floor plan make it a quintessential Prairie style house. Although it was designed one hundred years ago, the building remains a masterpiece of modern architecture.

The Sonneveld House, designed by architects Leendert van der Vlugt and Johannes Andreas Brinkman, for Albertus Sonneveld, director of the Van Nelle Factory, is a clear example of the principles of the House Machine theorized by Le Corbusier and represented in the Netherlands by the Nieuwe Bouwen, the Dutch branch of functionalism. It is a comfortable house as a machine, designed around its inhabitants, efficient and hygienic, thanks to new materials can provide light, air and needed to live in complete psychophysical wellbeing space, thus responding to the five principles that Le Corbusier stipulated in his book “Towards a New Architecture” in 1921.
Sonneveld House illustrates how the influence of the new trends in architecture were received by the upper middle class.

Mountain House
The first hotel built on the mountain was designed and built by 1833 as interest in tourism in the area increased. The structure was built with the intention to expand it, but was unable to compete effectively with the Catskill Mountain House.[4] The Overlook Mountain House, designed by Lewis B. Wagonen, opened in 1871. At 2,920 feet (890 m), it was at a higher elevation than the nearby Catskill Mountain House or other hotels in the area.[2] The hotel had capacity for 300 guests, and was destroyed by fire in 1875. The hotel was rebuilt by the Kiersted Brothers in 1875, and faced increasing competition from the Grand Hotel, Hotel Kaaterskill, and Laurel House. In 1921 was the site of a secret organizational meeting of what was to become the Communist Labor Party of America. The hotel again burned down in 1923, and architect Frank P. Amato was hired by owner Morris Newgold to redesign and rebuild it. This design was never completely built, as the hotel's elevation and lack of rail transportation made it difficult for customers to reach the site, compounding owner Newgold's financial difficulties. The State of New York acquired much of the land, and the hotel was boarded up in 1940. Further fire damage in the mid-1960s brought down a roof-top tower which had remained standing until that point. The ruins of the hotel are accessible from the main trail.
Duff House is a Georgian estate house in Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Now in the care of Historic Scotland, it is part of the National Galleries of Scotland and houses a range of art treasures and superbly furnished rooms. It also hosts a programme of artistic events and is used as a base for artists and writers.
The house and associated fishing temple and mausoleum are designated as Category A listed buildings.
Within the Deveron Valley lies Duff House, designed by William Adam, built between 1735 and 1740, and widely thought to be one of the world's finest Georgian houses. Duff House was built for William Duff of Braco, who became Earl Fife in 1759.
In the twentieth century Duff House was in turn a palm court hotel, a sanatorium and a prisoner of war camp. Since 1995 Duff House has been part of the National Galleries of Scotland and houses a range of art treasures and superbly furnished rooms. It also hosts a programme of artistic events and is used as a base for artists and writers.

Fallingwater or the Kaufmann Residence is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The home was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. The house was designed as a weekend home for the family of Liliane Kaufmann and her husband, Edgar J. Kaufmann, owner of Kaufmann's department store.
Time cited it after its completion as Wright's "most beautiful job"; it is listed among Smithsonian's "Life List of 28 places to visit before you die". It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named the house the "best all-time work of American architecture" and in 2007, it was ranked 29th on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.

The German architects Becker & Baedecker designed this house in Huai Hai Road. I need to check but roughly at 1912.
King Garden - ‘Back Lake’ - 264 Wiggins Rd, Scotsburn.
Designed to reflect its time and place, ‘Back Lake’ was conceived as a complete ‘landscape’ rather than a ‘garden’. Designed and largely constructed by architect owners Anne and Berry King the layout was developed at the house design stage, and detailed landscaping and plant selection decided before any work commenced. The dry-stone walls, ponds, raised vegetable beds, orchard and general planting & mulching were mostly completed in 2010. .
Strong winds limit plant selection. Planting includes 4 Prunus ‘Shirotae’ (white flowering cherry) creating an outdoor ‘room’, Pistacia chinensis (Chinese Pistachio), Angophora Costata (Smooth barked apple), together with swathes of euphorbias, echiums, acacias, agapanthus, correas, miscanthus and pennisetum grasses combining for immense effect. Sculpture collection. Bird life is prolific on and around the water and views are magical. Paradise found !

This is the Guangzhou Opera House designed by Zaha Hadid. There is certainly a lot of new and interesting architecture in the new area of Guangzhou known as the Zhujiang (Pearl River) New City. Other world renowned architects who have designed buildings here include Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Wilkinson Eyre and Rocco Yim.
A quick pen sketch of Hartland House, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and built between 1937 and 1972, transformed with a bit of watercolour. I started the sketch on my way to breakfast on the last day if the "Understanding Historic Buildings" course, finishing it off later from memory.
Wulperhorst is a country house located between Utrecht and Zeist in the Netherlands.
Even before 1700 there seems to have stood on this site, as part of estate Stoetweghe. The next house was built by W.N. de Pesters van Cattenbroek (1717-1794).
This is as of the Huysen Wulperhorst on a map from 1772. There was also a grand canal built to the river Kromme Rijn, part of which still exists.
In 1858 began the construction of the current house, designed by the architect SA van Lunteren, who also furnished the garden.

The city of Barqa is one of the most significant trade hubs in Historica. It is located where the mighty Arkbri river meets the sea, after providing an artery of trade from the mountains of Mitgardia through much of central Historica. Barqa sits in the middle of the southwest coast, making it a great place for trade between Avalonia, Varlyrio, and the southern parts of Historica. Sometimes, traders from the eastern side of the continent or the islands in the Great Southern Ocean also bring their goods here.
All this trade passing through the city gives Barqa's authorities a chance to collect a small portion of the wealth. They do this at the city's grand toll houses, designed to impress travelers used to more modest towns.
My part of the haunted house design is complete! From here Tomas will be taking my design, building it IRL and motorizing it :D I can't wait to see the final result, it will be epic!
In total the dimensions are 79.9cm x 56.3cm x 55.5cm. It is comprised of 21500 pcs. at this point, but I would guess the final count will be closer to 25000. So far the design has taken about nine weeks.
There are plenty of details shots in my Flickr feed if you wish to see more of the design :)
Thanks to all who followed along my progress, as always I appreciate all the comments and critiques I get on my work!
