Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset say Powerless Structures, Fig 101 questions "monuments predicated on military victory or defeat".
“Wind turbines turning steadily in the breeze, the mighty Delta Works standing tall along the Oosterschelde, and the stunning Zeeland Bridge stretching toward Zierikzee — a perfect afternoon in the Netherlands.”
Structure 26 is a pyramid and temple that was constructed in layers between 480 and 755 CE. Its most distinguishing feature is the Hieroglyphic Stairway (Escalinata Jeroglífica) on its western side. It is part of the last layer added in 755 CE. It is the longest pre-Columbian hieroglyphic inscription in the Americas.
This house along Bayou Pointe aux Chenes was designed by Mennonite missionaries to be able to withstand both the winds and storm surge of a so-called 100 year storm.
The Mennonites' approach to disaster relief (and imho a compelling one) is to show up for the first 3 months after a disaster with the purpose of instilling a sense of hope in the community. After 3 months, they leave the long term reconstruction work to others.

Saturday's monsoon theater began with a downburst falling on the northern White Tank Mountains.
It's odd to me how little lightning I've seen from the storms this year. This storm rolled west for almost a solid hour and didn't produce a single bolt.

Burj Khalifa est la plus grande tour du monde (en arabe : برج خليفة, tour de Khalifa). Appelée Burj Dubaï jusqu’à son inauguration, c'est un gratte-ciel situé à Dubaï aux Émirats arabes unis, devenu en mai 2009 la plus haute structure humaine jamais construite. Sa hauteur finale, atteinte le 17 janvier 2009, est de 828 mètres. Elle doit former le cœur d’un nouveau quartier : Downtown Burj Khalifa. Son inauguration et ouverture partielle ont eu lieu le 4 janvier 2010.
À noter que celle-ci sera dépassée par la Kingdom Tower de Djeddah en Arabie saoudite d'ici 2018.
Burj Khalifa fait partie d’un vaste projet urbanistique, immobilier et architectural couvrant une superficie de 2 km2. Il s’agit de créer un nouveau quartier, Downtown Burj Khalifa, un peu au sud du centre historique de Dubaï, et à côté du quartier côtier de Jumeirah (en), mais situé quelques kilomètres à l’intérieur des terres. Ce quartier doit comprendre, outre le gratte-ciel du même nom, un lac artificiel et de nombreux bâtiments de grandes dimensions. En tout, il prévoit un ensemble de 30 000 résidences, neuf hôtels dont The Address Downtown Burj Dubaï achevé en 2008, au moins 19 tours résidentielles, le plus grand centre commercial du monde, le Dubaï Mall qui y a ouvert ses portes en 2008, trois hectares de parcs et le lac artificiel de douze hectares (Lac de Burj Khalifa). Sur ce dernier, la fontaine de Dubaï offre un spectacle aquatique.
Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة, "Khalifa Tower", pronounced English /ˈbɜːrdʒ kəˈliːfə/), known as Burj Dubai before its inauguration, is a megatall skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the tallest artificial structure in the world, standing at 829.8 m (2,722 ft).[4][9]
Construction of Burj Khalifa began in 2004, with the exterior completed in 2009. The primary structure is reinforced concrete. The building opened in 2010, as part of the new development called Downtown Dubai. It is designed to be the centerpiece of large-scale, mixed-use development. The decision to build the building is reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil-based economy, and for Dubai to gain international recognition. The building was named in honor of the ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan; Abu Dhabi and the UAE government lent Dubai money to pay its debts. The building broke numerous height records.
Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith then of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), whose firm also designed the Willis Tower and the One World Trade Center. Hyder Consulting was chosen to be the supervising engineer with NORR Group Consultants International Limited chosen to supervise the architecture of the project. The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, incorporating cultural and historical elements particular to the region such as the spiral minaret. The Y-shaped plan is designed for residential and hotel usage. A buttressed core structural system is used to support the height of the building, and the cladding system is designed to withstand Dubai's summer temperatures. A total of 57 elevators and 8 escalators are installed, with the elevators having a capacity of 12 to 14 people per cabin.
Critical reception to Burj Khalifa has been generally positive, and the building received many awards. However, the labor issues during construction have been controversial, since the building was built primarily by workers from South and East Asia, who earned low wages and were reportedly housed in poor conditions. The center of gravity is in the bottom because it stops it from moving from earthquakes.
The pneumatic structures were designed and built by 43 students in Architecture 235, a second year design studio course, to be pop-up galleries that on the inside display the work of a project.

Port House Antwerp, Belgium by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The Port House combines a new beam-shaped structure and a former fire brigade building into a new headquarter building for the Port Authority. The project is strategically located between city and harbour, with magnificent views over both the centre and the port from behind the articulate glass walls – some transparent, others reflective – in reference to the Antwerp diamond trade.
In early September 2012 Zaha Hadid gave the official order to begin construction work on Port House, the new headquarters for Antwerp Port Authority on the Kattendijk dock. The new Antwerp Port Authority headquarters will house approximately 500 staff in a single new location that comprises both a former fire station and a new extension. Together, these two entities form an impressive new landmark as the headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority, overlooking both the city and the harbour. Staff and visitors arrive in the central atrium from where public counters, offices and meeting rooms in the existing building are directly accessible. The offices, meeting rooms, auditorium and panoramic restaurant in the new extension are accessible via panoramic lifts just off the central courtyard. Two underground levels of car and bicycle parking, the restoration and renovation of the existing building and the exterior landscaping of the site also form an integral part of the design. The new extension is positioned asymmetrically over the central courtyard, allowing light to enter the heart of the building. Leaving the existing structure untouched, it is supported by two sculpted concrete pillars that house stairs and lifts as well as a series of carefully placed steel columns that land in the courtyard. The new volume is enclosed by articulated surfaces of triangular glass panels which are slightly rotated with respect to one another to achieve ever-changing reflections that enhance its diamond shaped geometry. From the new building visitors will have a truly impressive view over the city as well as the port, so further strengthening the dialogue between the people of Antwerp and their port.
Total Floor Area: 12,800m2 (Gross); 114m Length; 24m Width; 46m Height (4 Extra Floors) Site Area: 16,400 m2 Date: 2008-2016.
