Cracking, horizontal and vertical displacement of the brickwork for the outer platform shelter structures at Malvern station. The station is of one of four similarly designed ones between Caulfield and South Yarra built as part of a large scale project to lower the rail lines to remove numerous level crossings and expand the section of line from two to four tracks.
The stations at Malvern, Armadale, Toorak and Hawksburn were built to a common design by James W Hardy and were completed in 1914 with the quadruplication work coming into service in October 1915. The stations consist of a central island platform with outer side platforms all linked by a pair of enclosed footbridges. A similarly designed example is located at Camberwell on the Lilydale/Belgrave lines.
In recent years the shelters on the outer platforms have had cracking in the brickwork and significant horizontal movement, particularly near the arch structures over the platform entrances - which themselves have all been supported by a steel insert pinned at multiple locations into the brickwork. In many cases there have been survey markers placed to monitor the progression of movement.

The cathedral is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.

Or is it? Years of paint, grime, and decay adorn the members of Front Royal's railroad trestle. The trestle links Norfolk Southern's Manassas Branch line west across the Shenandoah River towards Strasburg.

"...still maintained, sir."
debris looks like it is falling down at the moment i stopped time. in fact it is just hanging there on the steel reinforcements. still thinking a building like this is torn down easier than built up? :)
Senior Airman Steven Kazimer, a structural journeyman for the 60th Civil Engineer Squadron made a connection with Col. Joel Jackson, 60th Air Mobility Wing, commander, while demonstrating exactly what he does for the U. S. Air Force and Travis AFB, May 1, 2015. Kazimer, along with team members from 60 CES are constructing a new deck for building 1380, Fire Station No. 3, replacing a structure which was in bad repair and falling apart. Kazimer, who is from Middleburg Heights, Ohio, and the base commander measured, leveled, drilled, and sawed for over two hours working on the project. The "Works With Airman Program" allows Col. Jackson to accompany a junior Airman as he or she accomplishes their daily duties and Airmen to have the opportunity to gain a strategic-level perspective of the mission.

At a height of around 185 meters, the double tower, with its polygonal shape and east-west orientation, has a striking profile that is visible from all important reference points in Frankfurt’s city center, as well as from the river Main. Thanks to its form and presence, the double tower will become a characteristic feature of the Frankfurt skyline. The imposing form of the Grossmarkthalle (wholesale market), which so strongly characterizes Frankfurt’s skyline and the north bank of the river Main, unites with the vertical profile of the towers to form a significant ensemble that considers both the local urban design environment and the general urban spatial context, thus creating a tension between Frankfurt’s banking district and the Ostend area. By concentrating the ECB’s functions in the Grossmarkthalle, the south side of the premises, facing the Main, can be largely kept free of construction. The prominent view of the south side of the hall from the Main embankment with the clearly visible profile of the high-rise emphasizes its special position.
The tower ensemble is the result of a design process inspired by the urban links with the city of Frankfurt. Owing to its clear orientation towards the important urban perspectives, the ensemble enters into a dialogue with the important urban reference points in Frankfurt. Starting with the economical typology of a double-slab high-rise, a second design step combines the urban planning specifications with the geometric transformation of the towers, in order to generate a multi-faceted building structure while preserving its urban significance. The atrium between the office towers becomes a “vertical city”. Through platforms we are creating spaces, plazas and pathways between the towers, just as they exist in a city. The connecting and transferring levels divide the atrium horizontally into three sections of different sizes, with heights ranging from around 45 to 60 meters.
These connecting platforms, bridges, ramps and stairs form a network of links between the office towers. They create short paths between the individual office floors in each tower and thus enable larger, interconnected usable office spaces on one or more floors in both towers, thereby also promoting informal communication. This new typology supports a dynamic development of form and enables differentiated office spaces with different panoramic perspectives.
The design reinforces the Grossmarkthalle’s existing potential as an “urban foyer” housing a conference and visitor center, as well as a library and restaurant, through the incorporation of a building for the press center which traverses the structure of the Grossmarkthalle. This so-called entrance building, in which ECB press conferences will be held, occupies a special position in content, form and space and thereby marks the entrance to the ECB. Since the western parts of the Grossmarkthalle were reconstructed after being destroyed during the Second World War and do not, therefore, represent part of the substance of the original building – even in the way they are constructed – we propose, as agreed with the historic preservation authority, that the incision for the new entrance to the ECB be in this part of the hall. We continued to develop the concept of integrating the extensive functional areas into the Grossmarkthalle, as suggested during the Optimisation Phase. As before, the required new facilities are being placed in the spacious interior of the hall as independent building structures (the “house within a house” concept). The building structures, which are at diagonal angles to the Grossmarkthalle, allow the hall to be experienced along dynamic spatial sequences – and this not only in the public areas of the hall’s ground floor, but also on the upper levels, which, with their conference and restaurant facilities, are largely reserved for employees of the ECB. The restaurant structure, as a visible sign of the new functional areas in the hall, generously orients the employee restaurant and terrace towards the Main in the south.
