The tall and thin Victor Hotel was built in 1937. The asymmetrical hotel was one of the first to break away from the traditional Art Deco symmetry.
Long horizontal Moderne style windows and extended eyebrows counter the hotel's strong vertical element. The rows of windows end with porthole-like bosses.
To the left of the entrance is a massive square column that continues above the roof. It seems to act as a counterbalance to the building.
The Pinakothek der Moderne is a modern art museum, situated in the city centre of Munich, Germany. Together with the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek and Museum Brandhorst it is part of Munich's "Kunstareal" (the "art district"). The window in the background belongs to the Alte Pinakothek.
Designed by the German Architect Stephan Braunfels, the Pinakothek der Moderne was inaugurated in September 2002 after seven years of construction. The rectilinear facade, dominated by white and grey concrete, is interrupted by large windows and highrising columns, the latter supporting the extensive canopied roof. Each of the four corners of the building, connected by a central rotunda, is dedicated to a special collection.

This 1949 Ian Allan ABC covering British Railways Southern Region locomotives plus the recently nationalised system’s entire roster of diesel and electric locomotives seems to echo the Art Deco “Moderne” style that the old Southern Railway had embraced during the 1930s. Perhaps that was deliberate homage on Ian Allan’s part, as he had previously worked in the Southern Railway’s Publicity Department. The SR management had resisted Allan’s suggestion to publish a booklet for young train enthusiasts that listed the Southern’s locos. So the enterprising Ian Allan set out to do the job himself, and thus a renowned transport publishing empire was born.
The pen-and-ink depictions of a Southern Lord Nelson 4-6-0 and the LMS diesel prototype 10000 are unmistakably the work of A.N. Wolstenholme. He enjoyed a decade-long partnership illustrating Ian Allan’s ABC books. These “spotters’ bibles” expanded to embrace buses, aviation, shipping, cars and lorries.

Kunst-Aktion
Marten Dalimot sorgt für Farbtupfer in Duisburg-Laar
Der Graffiti-Künstler hat elf Stromkästen bemalt. Die Anregung kam vom Runden Tisch. Der konnte die Stadtwerke schnell von der Idee überzeugen.
Da sich in Sachen Wohnumfeldbesserung in Laar bislang nicht allzu viel getan hat – wir berichteten – hat der Runde Tisch Laar selbst die Initiative ergriffen. „Wir wollen ein bisschen Farbe nach Laar bringen“, sagen Sigrid Goetting-Schlitt und Martina Löcker, beide Sprecherinnen der vor zwölf Jahren gegründeten Bürgerinitiative.
Das ging schneller, als die beiden Damen geglaubt hatten. Man müsste die unattraktiven Stromkästen mit Kunstwerken versehen, dachten sich die Beiden – und sprachen im Februar dieses Jahres die Stadtwerke (Netze Duisburg) an.
Bürger wollten ein Zeichen setzen
Die ließen sich sofort überzeugen, waren bereit, ihre „Kästen“ für Graffiti-Aktionen zur Verfügung zu stellen und dem Runden Tisch zu helfen, „ein sichtbares Zeichen zu setzen“.
So machte sich Sigrid Goetting-Schlitt auf den Weg, suchte die unattraktivsten, schmuddeligsten Stromkästen. Und fand neun kleine Schränke und zwei große Stationen im Ortsteil.
Motive passen sich in die Umgenung ein
Schnell war man sich mit Netze Duisburg einig, freut sich die Laarerin: Der Graffiti-Künstler Marten Dalimot sollte den Auftrag bekommen, die Bauwerke zu verschönern.
Die Motive stellten die Mitglieder des Runden Tisches in Absprache mit Netze Duisburg und dem Künstler zusammen. „Wir haben uns immer an der Umgebung orientiert“, sagt Sigrid Goetting-Schlitt. Sprich: In Rheinnähe sind Schafe am Deich zu sehen, neben einem Wohnhaus ist die Mauer optisch „verlängert“ worden. Man entdeckt auch das Laarer Wappen, Blumen und die Industrielandschaft in der Nachbarschaft mit dem Kraftwerk Hermann Wenzel, an dem ein Papierschiffchen vorbeizieht.
Fotoschau Anfang Juli im Ewaldihaus an der Apostelstraße
Kaum waren die Motive ausgewählt und die Entwürfe gezeichnet, da legte Marten Dalimot auch schon los. Inzwischen sind alle Bilder fertig.
Dalimot reinigte die Flächen zunächst per Sandstrahl, grundierte sie und rückte dann mit rund 80 Farbdosen an. Kleinere Werke, wie sie auf den Schränken zu finden sind, entstehen in ein paar Stunden. Um die große Station an der Ecke Emscherhütten-/Florastraße rundum zu verzieren, brauchte es zwei ganze „Maltage“.
Komplettpaket: Fläche vorbereiten, Malen und Schutzanstrich
Hinzu kommen bei allen Werken Nachbereitungen, sprich: Die Kunst wird mit einem Schutzanstrich versehen, damit sie im Falle von Verunreinigungen durch Schmierfinken leicht zu reinigen ist. Schmierereien und Kritzeleien sind laut Marten Dalimot aber kein Problem: 90 Prozent seiner Werke – und davon gibt es viele in Duisburg – sind auch nach Jahren noch in tadellosem Zustand.
Am 5. Juli werden alle Werke in einer Fotoschau beim Runden Tisch im Ewaldi-haus, Apostelstraße, vorgestellt (18.30 Uhr). Gäste sind bei dem offenen Treffen willkommen.

Visited as part of Open House 2009.
In 1935, two doctors opened the Pioneer Health Centre to house the 'Peckham Experiment', a unique attempt to improve public health through education, community care and preventative medicine.
Drs Scott Williamson and Innes Pearse, the founders, were responding to worryingly low levels of health and fitness among low-income inner-city families. The husband and wife team believed that social and physical environment could have a direct affect on health and sought to prove it.
Nine hundred and fifty families signed up, paying one shilling a week to relax in a club-like atmosphere where physical exercise, games and workshops were all encouraged. Among the original facilities were a nursery, gymnasium, cafeteria and kitchens (serving food grown at the Centre's farm near Bromley) and swimming pool.
The families were constantly observed by Williamson and Pearse's team of doctors and attended thorough annual medical examinations with the emphasis on a preventative, rather than a curative approach to health.
To reflect the pioneering approach to healthcare, the building was designed as an equally bold example of 20th century Modernist architecture.
The Pinakothek der Moderne is the modern art museum in Munich - I visited it on a rainy Sunday in October 2009 (only one Euro on Sundays). Modern art museums always leave me wondering what I'm looking at - such as if something is an exhibit, unfinished construction, or the work of a six year old. What I really like is to walk by while people are discussing what the artist was trying to convey - my guess is the artist is sunning on some tropical island with all the cash he/she was paid for the painting. With that said, this is still a pretty interesting museum - especially on a rainy day!

A parade of 10 iconic figures from visual arts by Cledat and Petitpierre (France) march on at the Esplanade waterfront promenade.
In juni 2015 zien we de 801 op de Molenwerf als lijn 12- waar hij ook op 27 oktober zijn laatste inzet had.. Op de achtergrond de oude standplaats van lijn 12 en 14 bij het voormalige NS station in de Oude Lijn naar Haarlem. De situatie is hier sindsdien veranderd: het huis links is geheel gerenoveerd en tegenwoordig een repair café met ernaast een klassieke overwegboom en in de tuin een stationsbord "Sloterdijk Zuid" ,lijn 12 werd ingeruild voor 19 en de sporen verhuisden naar een plek rechts buiten beeld. De 801 werd in mei 2016 afgevoerd naar DDM in de Meern voor sloop.

In 1931 Sidney Myer (1878 – 1934) Russian émigré turned Melbourne businessman and philanthropist decided to reinvigorate his store the Myer Emporium by redeveloping his flagship Bourke Street store at 314-336 Bourke Street. Part of this included a new façade in the prevailing interwar style of the time – Art Deco and the addition of several more floors to what was already a very large department store. On the sixth floor a chic European style ballroom with soaring ceilings, sweeping stairs and parquet flooring was planned for use by the emporium’s patrons as a dining room by day and in which Myer could host Parisian fashion shows and hold exclusive Melbourne society events by night. The Myer Mural Hall, so called because of an impressive collection of ten murals by Australian artist Napier Waller, was the realisation of Sidney Myer’s dream.
The Mural Hall, a dining hall suitable for a sitting for one thousand people and a venue for fashion parades and performances, was completed in 1933 as part of the sixth floor which was set aside for dining. It is a large rectangular space with a decorative plaster ceiling and balconies and wall panels in a Streamline Moderne style. However, it is the decoration of ten murals by renowned artist Napier Waller (1893-1972) that are the Mural Hall’s claim to fame. The murals took a little over a year to complete and were painted at Napier Waller’s home at Fairy Hills in Ivanhoe before being transported to the department store where they were hung. Completed in 1934, just after Sidney Myer’s death, eight of the murals are almost floor to ceiling, whilst the remaining two are located over the two side entrances. All pay homage to the seasons and to women and their achievements through history in the areas of art, opera, literature, dance, sport and fashion.
The western wall features (running south to north) the full length murals; “Spring – The Dance Through the Centuries”, “Summer – Sports Through the Centuries”, “Autumn – Women in Literature” and the smaller mural “Modes of Transport by Land” above the door. The eastern wall features (running north to south) the full length murals; “Winter – Of Actresses and the Drama from Medieval Times to the Present”, “Pageant of Beautiful Women in History”, “Pageant of Women Famous in History”, “Revelation of Fashion” and the smaller mural “Modes of Transport by Sea” above the door.
At the north end of the hall, a pair of "mannequin stairs" lead down from two balconies and the change rooms to a common landing. A temporary catwalk or stage was installed at this landing level for fashion parades and performances. The balustrading of the stairs is formed from 'Staybrite' stainless steel in an abstract ribbon design and the handrail is polished timber. The original timber flooring was replaced by parquetry in 1960. The hall is lit by three large and elaborate chandeliers from the original decorative scheme which were designed to provide up to ten different lighting effects. The National Trust classified the Myer Mural Hall noting it as “one of the finest Art Deco interiors in Australia and… one of the most impressive with few parallels anywhere in the world”.
Napier Waller (1893 – 1972) was a noted Australian muralist, mosaicist and painter. He served in France from 1916, being so seriously wounded at Bullecourt that he lost his right arm. He was right-handed but learned to use his left hand while recuperating. Back in Australia, he established his reputation by exhibiting more paintings. He is perhaps best known for the mosaics and stained glass for the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, completed in 1958. However, Melbourne has been described as "a gallery of Napier Waller’s work". Pieces of Napier Waller’s works may be found in the Melbourne Town Hall (1927), the State Library of Victoria (1928), the T & G Life Building (1929), Newspaper House (1933), Florentino’s Restaurant (1934), the Wesley Church (1935) and the University of Melbourne (1940) as well as the Myer Mural Hall.
