Architect : Richard Meier
(born Oct. 12, 1934, Newark, N.J., U.S.) U.S. architect. Educated at Cornell University, Meier's early experience included work with the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and with Marcel Breuer. Early in his career he executed a series of spectacular private residences. These houses typically feature refinements of and variations on classic Modernist principles — pure geometry, open space, and an emphasis on light — and they often display a crisp whiteness that contrasts sharply with the natural setting; the Douglas House, Harbor Springs, Mich. (1973), is a dramatically sited example. Building upon the success of his residences, beginning in the mid 1970s Meier began to receive large public commissions. These structures are characterized by geometric clarity and order, which is often punctuated by curving ramps and railings, and by a contrast between the light-filled, transparent surfaces of public spaces and the solid white surfaces of interior, private spaces. His Getty Center in Los Angeles (1984 – 97), with its terraced gardens, is a resplendent acropolis in travertine stone. Meier received the 1984 Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s iconic waterfront district, the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero boasts one of the city’s most awe-inspiring architectural gems—the stunning 17-story atrium. Designed by renowned architect John Portman, this soaring interior was once the world’s largest hotel atrium when it opened in 1973, setting the stage for Portman’s revolutionary concept of communal hotel spaces. The vast, light-filled atrium welcomes guests with its open design, featuring exposed glass elevators, futuristic lighting, and sweeping walkways that guide your eyes upward to the dramatic skylights. The atrium’s symmetrical lines and angular design create an almost sci-fi ambiance, perfect for fans of modern architecture. This cutting-edge design has also made the Hyatt Regency a favorite filming location, most notably featured in the 1977 thriller High Anxiety by Mel Brooks.
The atrium seamlessly blends with the waterfront energy outside, just steps from the Ferry Building, offering unbeatable views of the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge. Its proximity to the Embarcadero makes it ideal for both business and leisure travelers seeking luxury with a touch of history. In addition to its architectural flair, the hotel offers high-end amenities like a 24-hour fitness center, fine dining, and spacious, modern rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, all encapsulating the spirit of San Francisco’s vibrant waterfront district.

This small dish is from the Aluminia factory of Denmark, prior to the name converting over to Royal Copenhagen ca. 1969. It is hand-signed 142/2883 MJ (for Marianne Johnson) and a date code indicating it was produced in 1965. It was found in West St. Paul, Minnesota.
I wanted to follow my previous upload of the museum with something that continues the theme of modern design and I found this pic.
I took this shot at a temporary open air public art installation during my stay in Sydney, Australia.
It had been raining earlier that evening and the consequence of that was (1) the bad weather kept most people away and (2) I was able to capture this pleasing reflection off the wet pavement.
I'm surprised I never uploaded this before.
I hope you like it!
2021.01.11 - Presumably a reception Hall although there's no sign to indicate that. I guess during Covid this place is pretty quiet. However there is a pediatrist in there so I dunno.. maybe they're renting out to businesses until covid blows over.

During his first visit, Maciej has already knew that he has just found a place for living and for working. He has commissioned his friends from mode:lina™ studio to do an arrangement of the place. The task wasn't easy, because the designers has faced a challenge of making both a multifunctional design studio space and apartment for living on merely 37 m2 of area... what is more, they also needed to remember about “hiding-room” for a 6-years old son!
