The Zollverein Coal Mine is the unique structural expression of the industrial modernity of the 20th century. It was constructed between 1928 and 1932 by the architects Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer on behalf of the United Steelworks Inc. according to the maxim of ‘form follows function’. The coal mine had a daily output of 12,000 tons of coal. For decades, it was the coal mine with the greatest output in the world. Since its closure in 1986, the Zollverein Coal Mine has been a listed building and was placed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 2001 together with the Zollverein Coking Plant as a “representative example for the development of heavy industry in Europe”.
Otis in fhe Technik Museum Speyer. It sort of looks like he is inside a large machine. Fitting with the theme. I tried to frame it as if it were a large machine. Imperial walker anyone?

This railroad trestle located adjacent to Highway 70 just east of Crab Orchard, TN connects Franklin Industrial Minerals Quarry and Crusher Plant railroad to the rest of the country's railroad system. The entire structure is made of timbers and is a very interesting sight...especially for a Structural Engineer!!

HMVS Cerberus (Her Majesty's Victorian Ship), shown here in silhouette, is a breastwork monitor that served in the Victoria Naval Forces, the Commonwealth Naval Forces (CNF), and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) between 1871 and 1924. Built for the colony of Victoria under the supervision of Charles Pasley, Cerberus was completed in 1870, and arrived in Port Phillip in 1871, where she spent the rest of her career. The monitor was absorbed into the CNF following Federation in 1901, and was renamed HMAS Cerberus when the navy became the RAN in 1911. By World War I, Cerberus' weapons and boilers were inoperable; the ship served as a guardship and munitions store, while carrying the personnel of the fledgling Royal Australian Naval College on her paybooks.
In 1921, the ship was renamed HMAS Platypus II, and tasked as a submarine tender for the RAN's six J-class submarines. In 1924, the monitor was sold for scrap, and was sunk as a breakwater off Half Moon Bay, which is about 19 km south east of Melbourne. The wreck became a popular site for scuba diving and picnics over the years, but there was a structural collapse in 1993. There have been several campaigns to preserve the ship (one of which is ongoing), as she is one of the last monitors, the only surviving ship of the Australian colonial navies, and one of only two surviving ships in the world with Coles turrets.

Through this tight composition, I wanted to emphasize the pure interplay of color and geometry. The diagonal arrangement creates a dynamic flow, while the carefully balanced color palette - from vibrant oranges and turquoises to subtle grays - transforms an architectural element into a striking abstract canvas. The controlled lighting enhances the depth and dimensionality of the geometric pattern.

No almost abstract play with perspective, angle and form today, but a ferris wheel capture that’s aligned with the reason the wheel was there – to enable the public to see the way Rotterdam was reconstructed after WW2 and the permanent transformation of the city that followed.
Only one building in this panorama predates WW2 . It’s the art nouveau ‘Witte huis’ (Willem Moenbroek, 1898) in the BG near one of the red pylons of the Willems-brige. And all the others buildings were constructed in the 80s and after that! Change as permanent urban condition.
The most notable buildings are: from left to right: the functionalist municipal library (Jaap Bakema, Hans Boot, 1983) with its Centre Pompidou like external pipes, the structuralist Blaakse Bos (38 cubic homes) and ‘Het Potlood’ (The Pencil) housing complex, both by Piet Blom (1984) , the neo-modernist underground ‘Blaak’ railway station (Harry Reijnders, 1993) with its characteristic big metal/lexan ‘lid’ (diameter: 35 m, the lid (structural engineer: L. Válkár), isn’t flat but curved – it’s in fact the top section of a virtual mega globe). This station is by he way the second one with the name 'Blaak'. The first one was part of the Luchtspoor the 2,2 km long elevated railway that bisected Rotterdam from 1877 to 1993. Like the station it’s demolished and replaced by the underground ‘Willemsspoortunnel (1993) .The market stalls in the FG are placed on the elongated square (Binnerotte) where the ‘Luchtspoor’ used to be.
In the background is the aforementioned red Willems bridge (Gemeentewerken-C.Veerling, 1983) crossing the river Maas.

Milky skies where i live - I shot this just ten minutes from where I currently reside in a relatively light polluted area near Brisbane.
To my surprise i was able to capture clear structural detail toward the galactic core.
With the naked eye the dark and elusive dust lanes were barely visible, brought out by a contrasting backdrop of hazy, ghostly light produced by the billions of distant suns that spanned out in front of me. It resembled an eerily glowing white cloud hanging across the sky, cold and distant. But with the camera, such beautiful detail...
The light from those stars travelled for up to thirty - thousand years before happening to collide with my tiny camera. When we look into the Milky Way we see thousands of years into the past across unimaginably vast expanses of space and time toward the dense core of our ancient spiral galaxy.
Can't wait to get out into the bush away from the lights to see it in all its glory.

Florence (Italian: Firenze; Tuscan: Fiorenza) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with 383,084 inhabitants in 2013, and over 1,520,000 in its metropolitan area.
Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of that era. It is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". Its turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy (established in 1861). The Florentine dialect forms the base of Standard Italian and it became the language of culture throughout Italy due to the prestige of the masterpieces by Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini.
The city attracts millions of tourists each year, and UNESCO declared the Historic Centre of Florence a World Heritage Site in 1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics. Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, Forbes has ranked it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Florence plays an important role in Italian fashion, and is ranked in the top 15 fashion capitals of the world; furthermore, it is a major national economic centre, as well as a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008 the city had the 17th-highest average income in Italy.

Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (English "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower"), is the cathedral of Florence, Italy (Italian: Duomo di Firenze). It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence.

Albatros D Va (reproduction)
The aircraft on exhibit in the Museum is in the markings of Joachim von Hippel of Jasta 5, the third-highest scoring German Jasta (squadron). It illustrates well the flamboyant and famous german “Flying Circus” coloring system. The green, red-outlined tail, green wheel covers, and red propeller spinner were the markings used on all aircraft in the squadron. These colors were well-known to the British, who called them “The Green Tails.” The gray fuselage with the red lightning bolt was von Hippel’s personal marking which distinguished his fighter from other aircraft. He named his aircraft “Blitz” (Lightning). Also noteworthy are the purple and green wing colors painted at the factory as part of a standard camouflage pattern.
The Albatros fighter series consisting of D. I through D. Va models were the primary German fighter aircraft of World War I. The D. I model was introduced in September 1916, just as the first German fighter squadrons were being formed.
The D. V and D. Va types, the most produced and widely used of the Albatros fighters, were put into service in May and October 1917. More than 2,500 D. V/Va’s were made. Their use was so extensive that in April 1918, at the time of the great German spring offensive, almost 50 percent of all German fighter aircraft were Albatros. Although replaced in the summer of 1918, the type remained in wide service until the Armistice on November 11, 1918. Virtually all German aces flew the Albatros at some time in their careers. Aerodynamically designed and especially noteworthy was its unique rudder and horizontal stabilizer configuration. This feature was readily identifiable from great distances.
The aircraft also had two important structural characteristics: the fuselage was of plywood semimonocoque construction and the lower wing was of smaller chord than the upper wing, resulting in greater maneuverability and better downward visibility. The difference between the V and Va models was minor, consisting of a change in aileron control wire configuration.
It was an unpretention structural operation and now it seems clear, but at that time it was difficult to understand the problem.

The Quadracci Pavilion was created by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava in the year 2001. The Quadracci Pavilion contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil that opens up to a wingspan of 217 feet (66 m) during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The pavilion has received the 2004 Outstanding Structure Award from the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering.

Part two in Amazo's raid on Metropolis!
Originally, Amazo vs Superman had the intent for just a one-off shot, but through my indecision over what would be a image visually and esthetically pleasing, I had happened to shoot many different poses and positions with the two characters. Ergo... A classic Andrew Cookston three parter :)
