Terraced paddy farming in Sikkim , India

Terrace is a multi-utility place in Indian Houses... i am not sure if the terrace is used in this fashion in any other part of world.. let me know if you do in any other part of world

A dozen or so terraced streets running between King Street and Window Lane have been or will be cleared in preparation for a forthcoming development which will be over seen by South Liverpool Housing Corporation. It is hoped that a development on such a grand scale will benefit future generations of Garston and turn its fortunes around. Weather it does or not is yet to be seen.

Another, and probably the last, from my now not so recent trip to Wanganui...

Outstanding in every way, Bethesda Terrace, located mid-Park at 72nd Street, is the artistic culmination of the 1858 “Greensward Plan,” that designers Olmsted and Vaux conceived of for Central Park. This architectural achievement defines the heart of the Park as it seamlessly joins the Mall with a Terrace overlooking the Lake and the wooded Ramble beyond.

It is built of New Brunswick sandstone in a mixture of styles, Romanesque, Gothic and Classical with decorative elements designed by Mould. His amazingly intricate carvings reflect upon nature’s significance, as it features birds and seasonal plants that appear along the stairways and also on the Terrace’s main posts. On the upper Terrace facing the Mall, he represented symbolic carvings of daytime and nightfall including a crowing cock for day and a witch on broom for night. This magnificent split-level Terrace creates a heavenly atmosphere with its upper terrace and grand stairways on either side topped with flower filled stone vases that descend to the grand walkway below. The floor consists of red tile panels bordered with strips of bluish granite, completely installed in 1910.

Many visitors stand on the Upper Terrace and gaze out toward the famous Bethesda Fountain at its center while the Lake and the shoreline of the Ramble are in clear view.

As you descend the stairways, you can sit on stone benches built into the lawn’s Terrace walls and watch the tranquil drama of people rowing, a wedding unfold or visitors taking photos from every conceivable location. One can access the lower level by the stairways, or use one of the four paths that symmetrically surround the area, yet the most traveled walkway is from the Mall.

Beneath the Terrace Bridge and the 72nd St. Drive you will arrive at the seven arches of the Arcade, a columned passageway with walls on either side in blind arcades adorned with trompe l’oeil paintings.

Very reminiscent of Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night

Bute Terrace: The John Lewis store, the Radisson Blu, and new apartment blocks.

A whole new commercial and residential high-rise zone of the city has sprung up here in recent years, which includes the flag-ship John Lewis apartment store, the new Cardiff Central LIbrary with a Wagamama on the ground floor, and a number of residential tower blocks.

As Cardiff joined the British high-rise revival, two previously nondescript streets have now established their presence. With no cause to know their names previously, Bute Terrace and Hayes Bridge Road now provide a locus for Cardiff's recent spate of post-modern architecture, with unprecedented height in the new apartment tower blocks and iconic commercial and public buildings in the flag-ship John Lewis apartment store and the new Cardiff Central Library.

This new area replaces the buildings of the earlier commercial property and urban redevelopment phase of the 1980s, which were demolished to make way for today's new development. Amongst the buildings that were demolished are the National Ice Rink, the flagship Toys R Us store, and the "new" St David's Link Cardiff & South Glamorgan Central Reference Library. The Cardiff International Arena remains.

I am particularly struck by the fact that the "new" Central Reference Library at St David's Link (which replaced the Victorian "Old Library" building on the Hayes), the brave new library building of the mid 1980s, has been demolished and replaced by a new building. In this recent phase of urban redevelopment we have seen the demolition of new-ish buildings which were trumpeted as the successes of new investment and development in the '80s. And to illustrate this pretty surreal succession of new buidlings by new buildings, I just happened to come across MSN Bing Maps which still shows most of the "old" new buildings still there: see photo below, which includes the National Ice Rink site now occupied by the John Lewis store.

Hence we see a speeded-up cycle of some 25 years or so in the city-centre property investment market and the lifespan of a building. This wholesale spatial transformation highlights the "creative destruction" of the city through the changing dynamic of land and capital. It's a pretty common pattern across British cities, and new cultural buildings - and new public library buildings especially - have been prominent landmarks to city centre regeneration.

Terraced rice fields in February on Teshima, Kagawa Prefecture

On the road from Bhaktapur to Nuwokot, we saw some amazing landscapes. The terraces are very steep and must be worked by hand which is all very labour intensive. The weather was misty for most of the time we were there.

Beautiful terrace of 12, Queen Anne Style houses with gabled end blocks by the renowned architect Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, 1886-1887.

Hermitage Terrace formed part of the development of the Braid estate from 1880 onwards with Wardrop Anderson and Browne as the main architects, Rowand Anderson remained feuing architect of the extended scheme south of the railway line until the early 1900s. The Braid estate was Edinburgh's answer to Bedford Park, London. George Washington Browne who had returned from London after working with J J Stevenson (about to start the Queen Anne development of Kensington Court in 1883) brought the Queen Anne style to the Braid estate and with Rowand Anderson developed its Scottish, masonry-based variant. The development was featured in the British Architect in 1884 and praised for their 'artistic furnishing' and high standard of sanitary plumbing and drainage. The houses were described as having '... met special acceptance among the younger artists.'

By the eminent William Henry Playfair, designed 1820-4; not completed until c1857. Part of an extremely long and imposing 121-bay palace front terrace of townhouses of varying heights, some with Corinthian columns, some Ionic. 2-storey balustraded sections to outer left and right; basements to all houses.

Royal Terrace forms part of the showpiece of Playfair's Calton scheme, and as such is an important example of the work of one of Scotland's leading early 19th century architects. Playfair was one of the major driving forces of the Greek Revival in Edinburgh and his public commissions such as the National Monument, the Royal Institution and the National Gallery gave strength to Edinburgh's reputation as the Athens of the North. The Calton Scheme was one of his few domestic commissions, and the variety of designs, different for each street, demonstrates Playfair's expertise with the Grecian style and his characteristic attention to detail. The railings are important as their design features distinctive elements which Playfair repeated in large areas of the Calton scheme. The massive scale of Royal Terrace, in conjunction with Playfair's characteristic attention to detail (for instance the decision to site houses on one side of the Terrace only, in order to capitalise on the spectacular views), make this one of his most impressive schemes. When designing Royal Terrace, Playfair also rejected the conventional palace front with its distinctive central pavilion; he instead chose a more subtle distribution of pavilions, creating a discreet accumulation of emphasis towards the centre of the terrace through the use of attic storeys and Ionic and Corinthian Orders.

However, demand for the feus faltered severely, due to the growing popularity of new properties being built to the west of the New Town. This had a particularly bad effect on Royal Terrace, where construction stopped for 20 years, leaving 2 large gaps in the Terrace and a further 3 unbuilt feus to the west end. The fate of the whole Calton scheme was sealed in 1838, when it was decided that feuars should pay poor-rates to both Edinburgh and Leith. This virtually halted development for the next thirty years. The result of all these problems was that very little of Playfair's original scheme was ever built.

TERRACE WOOD, COCKEN.

The Terrace Wood incorporates Terrace Walk and Nun's Walk. This is an interesting tract of Ancient Woodland that hugs the road. Diving past in April you will be greeted with a fine display of bluebells. There are some interesting botanical features here. There are a few huge sweet chestnut stumps. Old Hornbeam coppice, small leaved lime, fly honeysuckle and patches of monkshood.

Mediterranean Revival Semi-detached House (1924)

1–5 N. Daniels Ave.

Architect: George W. Kelham

Bay Terrace

Vallejo Heights

Vallejo, Solano

Architect George W. Kelham designed residences as part of the Mare Island Industrial Housing project planned in 1915 and built in 1918–24 to provide civilian workers' housing for the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The district was originally called Georgetown but re-renamed Bay Terrace in 1920. The houses had varying exterior styles but were limited to about five floor plans. This is an example of two five-room semi-detached houses.

George W. Kelham (1871–1936) came to San Francisco in 1906. He organized the plan for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 and designed numerous major buildings in San Francisco and elsewhere.
