From Wikipedia, "The Francis Crick Institute is located in a state-of-the-art building, opened in 2016, built next to St Pancras railway station in the Camden area of Central London. It consists of four reinforced concrete blocks up to eight storeys high plus four basement levels. The total internal floor area is 82,578 m2 (98,762 sq yd) including 29,179 m2 (34,898 sq yd) of laboratories with 5 km (3.1 mi) of laboratory benching and 21,839 m2 (26,119 sq yd) of associated write up space.
As well as state of the art scientific equipment, much of it extremely sensitive to vibration and electromagnetic emissions, and requiring advanced methods of air handling, over a third of the building is given over to plant rooms and services distribution. The facility incorporates a combined heat and power plant in order to provide low-carbon onsite power. Solar panels installed in the roof provide extra renewable power and all light fittings are energy-efficient. The roof also hides the heating and cooling units. A third of the building is below ground to reduce its visible size and provide further protection to sensitive equipment."

Le Corbusier, also known as the father of modern architecture designed one of the iconic buildings of the 20th century (Unite D'habitation), while living in a tiny wooden cabin in the cost line of Cap Martin in the south of France. He died there in a swimming accident at the age of 77. There is a coastal promenade from Cap Martin to the outskirts of Menton which has been renamed to the Promenade Le Corbusier. His statue was installed on the same promenade somewhere near Menton.
Hello dears,
I really strive for making a home what it can become, first of all, a home isn't complete without its the owner and I never really had a home. If you have followed me for a while, on social media platforms besides Flickr, I have always sighed for not having a home yet as an Interior Designer, you'd think I would. With the help of a creator, I was able to put some inspirational designs together which was then compiled into a house, by me adding my personal touches I was able to complete the home. It's a small single bedroom, 2 baths, living and kitchen space, perfect for myself since I don't live with anyone else but I. My last actual home was the Victorian desert house which I built myself out of prims, which I'll be selling soon, I think.. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my photos of my home. The home will also be located on a friends community where I'll be living, I suppose what's great about Second Life is you can take your home pretty much anywhere possible.

Suroikaku Aqueduct, Nanzen-ji Temple, Kyoto, Japan.
"Suirokaku at Nanzen-ji Temple was built in 1890. It’s a high-rise architectural canal that bridges over the Biwakososui River and is 93.2-meters long by 4-meters wide. For its modern architectural design, it was designated as a historical site in Kyoto in 1983. The bridge reminds us of Roman structures, but was designed by a Japanese, Sakuro Tanabe in the 1890s. Tanabe was only 22 years old at the time. This aqueduct brings water from Lake Biwa to the temple."
One Kleomenous on the Lycabettus hill of is the first building in the portfolio of Omniview by the architect Dimitrios Tsigos. It is a revolutionary new concept of a living space created to showcase his team’s development capabilities, based on cutting edge design and construction techniques and technologies and it carries the strength, beauty and functionality of high quality.
The choice of Travertino marble was in fact very rational is in hamony with the colour characteristic beige stones which are the main building block for all of lycabettus’s retaining walls. From the beginning of the project, the intensity of the building’s visual relatioship with the Acropolis had marbles on moodboard. Marble is a stone in its self, just one that allows more flexibility in its manipulation. Travertino was a perfect match in colour, but also a material that communicates very intensly its non artificial status due to its porous nature. Moreover, it is a very popular material in the sourrounding areas 70’s modernist style condo developments; in fact its also used inour adjuscent building, the one that tie us to the urban tissue.

The Pudong skyline with the Garden Bridge over Suzhou Creek in the foreground. The skyline is dominated by the Pearl of the Orient TV Tower (东方明珠电视塔) - short also known as "Pearl Tower" or in Chinese 东方明珠塔. During Chinese New Year the tower's center is illuminated red instead of the usual cooler tones.
The Garden Bridge (Chinese name: 外白渡桥 waibaiduqiao) is the oldest and most famous bridge in downtown Shanghai. Completed in 1907, it crosses Suzhou Creek from the Huangpu to the Hongkou districts. Length 106.7m.
Photo taken from the Zhapu Road Bridge (乍浦路桥, a monument in it's own, built 1927).
For those interested in the rapid growth of Pudong: DvYang has a photo from 1993 in his stream - the Pearl Tower just under construction and no skyscrapers at all.
Photo is SOOTC, no PP. This is only possible for a very short time, when the lights just are turned on, otherwise the People's Hero Memorial (pyramidal tower right of the Garden Bridge) will turn out as an overexposed white blob because it's lit way too bright. It takes about 4 to 5 minutes for the halogen lights to come to full power, so that's the time frame.View on a black background.

Glasvasen offices located behind Malmö Central Station in Inre Hamnen, a district of Malmö the capital of Scania, in Øresund, Sweden.
The Veidekke company were commissioned by Jernhusen to build Glasvasen, a new office building with unique architecture. The building has one of Malmö's best office locations alongside the Central Station.
It is in the form of an organic sculptural glass vase, designed in a very modern architecture designed by Kanozi Architects.
One of the challenges was to get the relatively small volume of concrete walls around stairwells and elevators to cope with the structural stability of the building. The solution was to mix cast-in-place constructions with Prefab and clamp these together with several tie rods and high requirements for waterproofing in the foundation.
The glass façade hangs in the arch edges outside the building and the fastening is specially developed for the project. The glasses are a combination of different glasses, some with sun protection blinds, and many fins that protrude from the facade. These have LED lighting that shines through the fins. The challenge was also the architect's idea of how the façade should be designed to meet energy requirements and sun protection.
The project included a six-storey office building that contains 6,000 square meters of office space and almost 1,000 square meters of retail space on the street level, as well as a parking garage. The flexible office floor plan can, depending on the tenants' wishes, accommodate a total of up to 600 workplaces. At street level, shops, restaurants, and a café are planned.
Glasvasen is also an environmentally smart building with a focus on low energy consumption and sustainable material selection. It contains several high-tech innovative solutions ensuring environmental certification.

Also known as "The Water Cube", this modern architectural design is one of the most dramatic and exciting venues to host sporting events for the Olympics 2008.
Personal note: The array of polygonal and hexagonal main components of this structure have reminded me so much of my Organic Chemistry subjectS (as in plural with capital S)... Arrrgh!! I hate looking back.

Apologies to regular visitors to my photostream that have already seen and uncropped as well as a flipped version of this Science Museum shot but I think the sq format version is probably my favourite.
This curvaceous structure at the opened Winton Gallery at the Science Museum might be very eye-catching and photogenic but does rather use up quite a lot of the floor space.......

From the Science Museum website : "Mathematics: The Winton Gallery is the first permanent public museum exhibition designed by Zaha Hadid Architects anywhere in the world. The gallery is also the first of Zaha Hadid Architects’ projects to open in the UK since Dame Zaha Hadid’s sudden death in March 2016. The late Dame Zaha first became interested in geometry while studying mathematics at university. Mathematics and geometry have a strong connection with architecture and she continued to examine these relationships throughout each of her projects; with mathematics always central to her work. As Dame Zaha said, 'When I was growing up in Iraq, math was an everyday part of life. We would play with math problems just as we would play with pens and paper to draw – math was like sketching.'"

The Sydney Opera House is Australia's most recognisable building and is an icon of Australia's creative and technical achievement. Since its completion in 1973 it has attracted worldwide acclaim for its design and construction, enhanced by its location on Bennelong Point within a superb harbour setting.
The design of the building, with its soaring white roof shell shaped sails atop a massive red granite platform, has been internationally acclaimed as an architectural icon of the 20th century. As a dominant sculptural building that can be seen and experienced from all sides, it is the focal point of Sydney Harbour and a reflection of its character.
It is placed right at the end of Bennelong Point, juxtaposed to the harbour and completely to scale in relation to the Harbour Bridge, the sandstone cliff face, Macquarie Street and Circular Quay. Viewed from a ferry, from the air, or by approach on foot, the vision is dramatic and unforgettable.
