Model showing how the expansion of the Caldea complex will appear once building work ceases sometime in 2012.
The 'Caldea' at Escaldes Engordany, on the northeastern edge of Andorra la Vella. One of the most striking pieces of modern architecture I've ever seen.
It was built in 1994 and houses a complex of thermal baths and swimming pools, in addition to a shopping centre and restaurant, on three different levels. The central hub of the building is crowned by the gleaming 'silver' glazed spire, which contains a viewing gallery accessed by lift (unfortunately not operational by the time we got there).
The complex is currently in the process of being enlarged. We didn't get inside the main thermal pool rooms but at least got a taste of the ultra modern interiors from the areas still accessible.
Andorra la Vella, capital of the Principality of Andorra is a largely modern city surrounded by mountain ranges, reflected in the typography of it's street layout which is on several different levels. It was thus never a large city with so little room for expansion.
There are medieval monuments such as the ancient Casa de la Vall (the old council chamber) and the church of St Esteve (mostly rebuilt in more modern times) but the overall flavour is contemporary, owing to modern architecture and sculptures around the city.

Hampi (Kannada: ಹಂಪೆ Hampe) is a village in northern Karnataka state, India. It is located within the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Predating the city of Vijayanagara, it continues to be an important religious centre, housing the Virupaksha Temple, as well as several other monuments belonging to the old city. The ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed as the Group of Monuments at Hampi.[1] According to statistics of 2014, Hampi is the most searched historical place in Karnataka on Google.

More awesome architecture in Rome, Italy. Unfortunately I didn't record what this building is...probably a church.
The plaque at the base reads:
The World's Largest Pistachio
This monument is dedicated to the lasting memory of Thomas Michael McGinn (1929-2007), the founder of Pistachio Tree Ranch. This little slice of New Mexico desert was Tom's canvas to create his legacy. his tireless dedication to his dream made his farm the success it is today. Tom dreamed big, expected big and accomplished big things. He would have said this monument is not big enough! His legacy lives on.
Idea conceived by Timohy McGinn, son, 2008
Built by Bar-M Construction, Ernest Martinez

About ...
Buffalo Central Terminal had a flag pole adorned to it's eastern arc earlier this week - 30 years in the waiting. It served as a tribute to the thousands of military veterans who traveled through the building during times of peace and war.
This is a late tribute post to Veteran's Day, but better late than ever.
From the picture wall (now dismantled) of the (now dismantled) Bar in the (almost dismantled) Archiecture Faculty in Florence.
Not my shot, just taken from the wall before it will be really trashed.
Trace of light leak -- now repaired - visible on 220 film due to absence of paper backing on film

The ongoing redevelopment of the Regent Park neighborhood in downtown Toronto plays like a narrative that could happen anywhere.
The Toronto slums were bulldozed in the 1950s and redeveloped but by the mid to late 1960s these modernist buildings fell into disrepair.
The architect Peter Dickinson designed five fourteen story Maisonette Tower's. Appropriating ideas from Le Corbusier’s Unite d’habitation in Marseilles, Dickinson, then with Page and Steele Architects won the Massey Silver Medal in 1958 for these towers.
15 and 63 Belshaw Place are demolished, Three towers are still standing. The property at 14 Blevins Place is recommended for inclusion on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value and interest.
The temples of Hampi are divided into two levels - at the bottom, rock, and on top, in the spires and domes, brick and stucco. It's amazing that any of this plasterwork has survived five centuries of neglect...

Relaxing at the lighthouse Hotel of Galle, a fabulous piece of archiecture, drinking wine and listening to the roar of the sea, wind blowing into your face, is just an unforgettable experience...

This photo again park Guëll, which is in Spanish but more precisely in Barcelona. In the foreground we see the park with its very special archiecture and all its colours. In the background we see the city of Barcelona with its buildings and house as well as some plants like trees. Is finally in the background we see the sea that mixes with the sky.
