dictionary: "An architect is a person who plans, designs and oversees the construction of buildings"
That's like saying Picasso put paint on canvas...
Where once there was only sky we now have 'The Sky'. - Not just a building occupying space, but an entity becoming part of that space.
In the architect's imagination they envisioned the direct relationship between the physical sky and clouds to the reflected clouds. The soft sky to the Euclidean lines of their structure. - together through their relationship they each achieve presence.
photo: a matter of gradation. As a raging storm approached from behind I aimed toward the tranquil blue sky before me. Capturing the east and west, blues turned gray, the air cooled as the breeze angered to a wind.
In reality all credit for this photo goes to the architect. I just saw what they wanted me to see.

Cabot Tower a historical landmark located on Signal Hill a National Historic site in the City of St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Cabot Tower is a tower in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, situated on Signal Hill. Construction of the tower began in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cabot Tower is now the centre of the Signal Hill National Historic Site of Canada,] with walking trails and an interpretation centre.
Located at the highest point of Signal Hill, overlooking the city and the ocean, Cabot Tower is an example of late-Gothic Revival style. Built of irregularly coursed red sandstone, it is composed of a two-story, 30 foot, square structure with a three-story, 50 foot octagonal tower that stands on the southeast corner of the building. The corners are buttressed at the first floor level and further emphasized through the use of heavier blocks of stone. On the main body of the building, at the top of the second storey level, is a line of repeating pattern like an exaggerated dentil row or inverted crenelations. The attached tower, which houses the main entrance, is very plain with a double string course marking the divisions between second and third storeys and heavy corbel tables marking the eight corners of the turret at the flared upper level. The windows on both the corner turret and the body of the tower proper are rectangular and set under heavy stone lintels.
The architect of Cabot Tower, William Howe Greene, was a prominent St. John's architect and an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Wikipedia

These little streets are wonderful feature of old towns. They do not do much for the flow of traffic and many were eliminated in the name of progress. This one is actually called Shortcut (Pruchodni), just near Bartolomejska street famous (pre 1989) Police station. It is a centuries old street, but it was not named on the maps until 1905. Originally named Karel Bendl street, in honour of composer (1838-1897) who lived there.

The building is intentionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed in the 1890s from Colorado white granite, and opened for use in November 1894. The distinctive gold dome consists of real gold plate, first added in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush. The building is part of Denver's Civic Center area.

Rotterdam
Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.

Das Kubushaus (auch Kubuswohnung, Baumhaus) ist ein Entwurfsmuster für Wohngebäude, das von dem Architekten Piet Blom auf der Basis von würfelförmigen, auf einer Ecke stehenden Baukörpern entwickelt wurde. In Helmond und Rotterdam wurden zwei Gebäudekomplexe errichtet, die modular aus diesen Baukörpern zusammengesetzt wurden.
Der Kubus mit der Kantenlänge von 7,5 Metern ist gekippt und steht auf einer Ecke, so dass drei Seiten nach unten und drei nach oben zeigen. Blom sprach von „Straßenhaus“ und „Himmelshaus“.

Certaines sont encore en fonctionnement en France et en région parisienne (dont trois en Essonne), d'autres ont même été inscrites aux monuments historiques, et quelques-unes ont été vendues aux enchères.

A view of the entrance to the Louvre via the Louvre Pyramid designed by the Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei. Where I was standing to take the photo was as near as possible to get to the building. I liked the two black cubes either side of the photo but I can't remember what they were for? Bins perhaps? You can also see to the right the red metal things. They had what appeared to be powerful lights on the top. Again, not sure what that was all about, perhaps floodlighting? I appreciated the touch of red. :-)
