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...
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.
Late-seventeenth- or early-eighteenth century group of brown brick houses with red dressings. Doorcase with flat hood on elaborately carved scroll brackets, the frieze with winged cherubim and deeply-carved festoons.

It's not obvious from the previous photos that, Argigento being built on a hill, the "Palazzo delle Poste di Agrigento" is constructed on ground hollowed out in the hillside.
So on the opposite side to the grand entrance, a staircase winds up the hill following the form of the circular building.

The epic nature of Detroit, Michigan's long abandoned train station is one of misfortune, greed, and the downward economic plight of city's industrial sector. Not exactly news in today's consumer economy of the United States (specifically in the North East where industry was king since the late 1880s - i.e. Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Detroit, etc), but it doesn't make me any less appreciative of Detroit's cultural and industrial significance in its desire to re-invent itself into a butterfly in the shadow of a caterpillar alter-ego of the last 50 years.
I don't believe this is the last chapter of the once 4th largest city in the United States, but rather new beginnings to the model of survival of post-apocolypitic industrial America.

The demolition of Cabrini Green in Chicago plays like a narrative that is happening elsewhere, highlighting a trend towards mixed-income developments.
I have been documenting the demolition of Regent Park in downtown Toronto.

State Prison Hollow Rd, Starksboro, Vermont USA • Also known as the Knight House Complex. By 1799 the Hoag family had harnessed the power of the Great Falls of Lewis Creek, building this stone grist mill to grind wheat and corn for farmers from Starksboro and neighboring towns.

Au Bon Pain, considered the nation's leading urban French bakery, is located on the fifth floor of Fountain Place.
Avanti Café is located in the Plaza overlooking many of the building's soothing fountains.
This location is a branch of the original, Avanti Ristoranati , located on the McKinney Avenue Trolley Line. The Uptown location offers an intimate dining room with a bistro atmosphere. Northern and Southern Italian dishes are served.
I've eaten at the McKinney Avenue location location numerous (more than I can count) times. The food is fantastic! If you're out late, I highly recommend stopping in for the Moonlight Breakfast menu. Avanti is open until 3 AM on Friday and Saturday nights.
Some incredible soft organic/mineral material. handheld ambient

The mosaic inside the stoa - the colonade (see previous photo) - intrigues me, in that as well as invoking Fascist virtues, it also acknowledges St Christopher (parcel post?!!). The mosaics represent (from top to bottom):-
Agrigento town crest
Radio Telegraphy
Aerial post
Sea transport
Land transport
St Christopher.
Architect: Angiolo Mazzoni but I don't know who designed the mosaics.
The statue on the left front is a war memorial but the framing of that was difficult to acquire.
