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.

The Roman district of Garbatella was designed in 1920 by famous architects and intended for the working class of the time. The style is the "Roman late baroque", with sinuous shapes that give life to neo-medieval buildings.
the whole district, with the fountains, the buildings, the balconies, the villas, the stuccoes and the green spaces, recalls this concept of the Garden City and can be considered a large open-air monument as well as an example of humanistic architecture

Détails de la façade du Jenners Department Store, 40 Princes Street, Édimbourg, Écosse. Une vue à partir de Princes street.
Maintenant connu sous le nom de Jenners, il a été le plus ancien grand magasin indépendant en Ecosse jusqu'à son acquisition par House of Fraser en 2005.
Surnommé le Harrods of the North, il fut fondé en 1838 par Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington mais, après un feu, dût en 1895 s’installer dans l’édifice actuel dessiné par l’architecte écossais William Hamilton Beattie. Celui-ci agrémenta la façade victorienne de nombreuses caryatides féminines en hommage aux femmes formant la principale clientèle du magasin.
New Town est un quartier du centre historique situé au nord de la Vieille ville. Chef-d'œuvre d'urbanisme, il a été construit par étapes entre 1767 et 1850 environ et conserve une grande partie de son architecture d'origine néoclassique et georgienne dans ses anciens hôtels particuliers aujourd'hui occupés en majorité par des bureaux. Sa rue la plus connue est Princes Street, face au château d'Édimbourg et à la Vieille Ville à travers la dépression géologique de l'ancien Nor’Loch.
La ville d’Édimbourg, capitale de l’Écosse depuis 1532, est construite sur des collines volcaniques. Alors que la Vieille ville (cité) s'est construite autour de l'imposant crag d’origine glacière (Castle Rock) et sa forteresse dont les fondations remontent au 7e siècle ainsi que de sa queue (Royal Mile), on dit souvent que la ville moderne est construite sur sept collines, à savoir Calton Hill, Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart Hill, Braid Hill, Blackford Hill, Arthur's Seat et Castle Rock, donnant lieu à des allusions aux sept collines de Rome.
Avec l’Old Town, la New Town a été désignée site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1995 (WHL-728). La ville est le siège du Parlement écossais depuis le rétablissement de celui-ci en 1999.

History
The construction of Baldwin Cottage, a small-dorm complement to stately Talcott which rose more or less simultaneously next door, began soon after the 1886 fire which destroyed the Second Ladies Hall. It was named for Elbert Baldwin, a Cleveland dry goods merchant from whom Adelia Field Johnston, Oberlin's leading woman administrator, extracted a gift of $20,000. The village paper announced that Baldwin would be done "in the Queen Anne style, with broken roof lines, with the effect of earlier colonial houses" -- language suggesting that wonderfully elastic range of "Queen Anne". Weary and Kramer's design reached for the informal intimacy of a cottage look through variety in massing, texture, and detail. The studied unexpectedness of Baldwin's shapes--its squat tower, its low double-arched entry porch, the broad and gentle slopes of its roof lines, the episodic placement of its windows and dormers--made it a local triumph in the art of organic irregularity popularized by Henry Hobson Richardson. The roofing material, a warm red diamond-shaped tile, introduced a theme that would govern the campus building projects for the next 45 years. Dark, rich woodwork helped carry a friendly "nook-and-cranny" mood through the interior, making Baldwin one of the most durably popular living places on the campus.
The master plan was created by BUSarchitektur under the guidance of the architect Laura P. Spinadel. The buildings of the campus are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria. The dominant element of the campus is the Library & Learning Center, which was planned by Zaha Hadid.
In the centre of the city, it was designed by architect Julián Otamendi and his brother in the Neo-baroque style and constructed from 1948 to 1953.
When it was finished it was the tallest building in Spain, and the tallest of Western Europe, with 25 floors and a height of 117 meters.

The Fram (‘Forward’) is a three-masted schooner (1892) designed by the Scottish-Norwegian naval architect Colin Archer.
The Fram is a three-masted schooner with an overall length of 39 metres (127 feet 11 inches) and a beam of 11 metres (36 feet 1 inch). The ship is both exceptionally wide and exceptionally shallow to better withstand the forces of the ice. The disadvantage of this design was that it rolled more than most ships in heavy seas.
She was used on three historic polar expeditions:
Nansen Arctic Expedition (1893-1896).
Sverdrup's Arctic expedition (1898-1902).
Amundsen's South Pole expedition (1910-1912).
No other expedition yacht has gone further north or south. It was a milestone in exploration.
Le Fram (« En avant »)'est une goélette à trois mâts (1892) conçue par l'architecte naval d'origine écossaise et norvégienne Colin Archer.
Le Fram est une goélette à trois mâts d'une longueur totale de 39 mètres (127 pieds 11 pouces) et d'une largeur de 11 mètres (36 pieds 1 pouce). Ce navire est à la fois exceptionnellement large et exceptionnellement peu profond afin de mieux résister aux forces de la glace. L'inconvénient de cette conception est qu'il roulait plus que la plupart des navires par mer forte.
Il a servit à trois expéditions polaires historiques:
Expédition arctique de Nansen (1893-1896).
Expédition arctique de Sverdrup (1898-1902).
Expédition au pôle Sud d'Amundsen (1910-1912).
Aucun autre yacht d'expédition n'est allé plus loin au nord, ni plus loin au sud. Il a franchi des étapes importantes en matière d'exploration.

A part of American history and local folklore meet at Singer Castle on Dark Island, located on the St. Lawrence River. Singer Castle is the only remaining/existing castle on our river to be completed, fully furnished and resided in during the heyday of the great builders and industrials in New York. Calumet and Castle Rest (Pullman) were both completed and lived in. (And both were prior to Towers.) The Castle remained in the possession of the original owners, the Bourne family, from its construction in 1905 until the mid 1960’s. Frederick Bourne was the fifth President of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which is where the name “Singer Castle” came from. When the Bourne family summered there, it was called “The Towers” which comes from the inspiration that Ernest Flagg, the architect whom designed this structure, had after reading the book Woodstock by Sir Walter Scott.

During my stay in Valencia last September I rented an AirBnb apartment close to the City of Arts and Sciences. I walked past the ROIG Arena on many occasions and whilst it looked quite shiny and new I didn't realise that it had only opened a couple of weeks before.
I liked it's undulating shape but the ERRE Architects / HOK designed building really came alive at night thanks to the way the facade was animated by lighting each of these panels individually to become a giant screen of everchanging, shifting colours.

From Wikipedia, "Roig Arena, previously proposed as Casal España Arena or Valencia Arena, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Valencia, Spain, that opened in September 2025.
The plot is located between the streets Ángel Villena, Bomber Ramón Duart and Antonio Ferrandis, next to La Fonteta; it was used as a parking lot for the attendants to the former venue and L'Alqueria. The arena is being funded by Juan Roig, who created the company Licampa 1617 S.L. to carry out the project. After a fifty-year concession, the facilities will revert to the municipality. It will host matches for the 2028 European Men's Handball Championship.
The venue has a capacity of 15,600 for basketball fixtures, of 18,600 for 180° concerts and of 20,000 for 360° shows. It also features around 1,300 parking spaces.
Building works started on 29 June 2020 and ended on 5 September 2025. In 2020 the arena was expected to open in 2023, but was later delayed to 2025, and it was finally opened on 6 September 2025. It is expected to replace La Fonteta as the main venue of Valencia Basket."

Designed in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed from 1882 to 1888 under the direction of civil engineer Reuben Lindsay Walker. A $75 million underground extension was completed in 1993. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
