L'architecte japonais Takayuki Inoue a été invité à Hasselt pour y choisir l'emplacement du jardin. C’était devenu clair que ce ne serait pas un petit jardin comme d'abord pensé, mais un jardin japonais de 2,5ha à l'endroit où une fois n'était rien qu’un pâturage.
Les contributions financières et matérielles ont été fourni par Itami. Cette ville a cherché et trouvé des partenaires dans le monde des affaires japonais. Pour les coûts restants, la ville de Hasselt a pu compter sur une contribution importante du Fonds Européen de Développement Régional. Et pour la partie non subventionnée, ils ont trouvé des partenaires aux institutions japonaises, aux entreprises flamandes et aux filiales de sociétés japonaises en Belgique.Puis la construction du jardin a commencé. La plantation d'origine dans le jardin a été maintenue autant que possible, ce qui souligne le respect pour la nature des Japonais. En outre, beaucoup d'arbres et de buissons ont été plantés, des pierres ont été apportées d'Autriche à Hasselt et ils ont été soigneusement placés dans le jardin. Aussi des ponts ont été construits, des rivières et des chutes d'eau ont été faites et un certain nombre de bâtiments japonais traditionnels ont été construits. Pour ces derniers bâtiments, tous les matériaux ont été apportés en provenance du Japon, à l'exception des lignes électriques, le système d'alarme et le sanitaire. La réalisation complète du jardin, depuis les premières excavations jusqu'à l'inauguration du 20 novembre 1992, a duré 250 jours ouvrables.
Casa Loma (Spanish for Hill House) is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. Casa Loma was constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914. The architect of the mansion was E. J. Lennox, who was responsible for the designs of several other city landmarks. 221
Le Harpa est situé au Austurbakki 2, près de l'intersection des rues Lækjargata et Kalkofnsvegur, à Reykjavik, capitale d'Islande. Une vue à partir de la Sculpture & Shore Walk qui longe la route 41 le long du rivage de la baie Faxaflói.
Cet immense complexe est d'abord salle de concerts et centre de congrès, hébergeant aussi restaurants, bars et disquaire, est le fleuron de la geste architecturale islandaise et le symbole de la revitalisation du front de mer de la ville. L'orchestre symphonique d'Islande et l'opéra d'Islande y sont rattachés.
Inauguré en mai 2011, l'Harpa a été conçu par la firme danoise Henning Larsen Architects et somptueusement habillé par le designer islandais Ólafur Elíasson. Etonnant, selon le jour, l'heure et l'état du ciel, sa carapace aux multiples écailles se métamorphose. À l'intérieur, le regard glisse sur les murs lisses et noirs comme de la lave, puis s'arrête sur le plafond couvert de miroirs en 3D.
Central hall of Arnhem CS.
Arnhem CS is the central station of the city of Arnhem, the capital of the Dutch province of Gelderland. The design for Arnhem Centraal uses the natural differences in height in the city. Station Arnhem CS is designed by Architect Ben van Berkel.
Glanmore was completed in 1883 for John Philpot Curran Phillips. The building was designed by Thomas Hanley, a Belleville architect who was born in Read.
This impressive yellow brick house reflects the architectural style of the eclectic Second Empire. It features an irregular shape, with bay windows and projections; iron cresting outlining the main roof; a coloured, fish-scale pattern of slates on the concave mansard roof; wide eaves supported on carved brackets, and the original wooden eavest roughs. Stone trimmed windows and doorways have semi-circular and elliptical heads, and wood trim ornaments the semi circular heads of the dormers windows
view of the Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd (Zamek Krzyżtopór w Ujeździe) from the south
Krzyżtopór is a castle located in the village of Ujazd, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It was originally built by a Polish nobleman and Voivode of Sandomierz, Krzysztof Ossoliński (1587–1645). The castle was partially destroyed during the Swedish invasion known as The Deluge in 1655, and then reduced to ruins during the war of the Bar Confederation by the Russians in 1770.
Even though extensive research has been carried out through the years, historians have been unable to fully explain all aspects of the complex. No documents have been preserved that have enabled the determination of either the date of commencement of the castle's construction or the date of its completion. The name of the architect is also unknown. Krzysztof Ossoliński was enamoured with magic. while the unique symmetry of the castle is evident even in its ruined state, the hidden meanings that may have been incorporated into virtually every part of the castle are not obvious.
The very name of the complex is a mysterious one. Krzysztof Ossoliński officially named it Krzysztofory, which is derived from Latin word Christophoros. Later, the name changed to Krzyżtopór, which is a compounding of two Polish words – krzyż ("cross", a symbol of the Catholic faith and Ossoliński's policies) and topór ("axe", the charge from the family's coat of arms). Both symbols can be seen on the gate of the castle. Also, above the gate there is the date 1631, but to what this date refers has not been firmly established.
The castle, built by Swiss engineer Wawrzyniec (Lawrence) Senes (probably born in Sent, Switzerland), is a typical example of the so-called palazzo in fortezza – an intermingling of both palace and fortress. The total size of the complex is 1.3 hectares; the length of the perimeter walls is 700 meters; the total area of all interior rooms is around 70 000 square meters. The basic design was based on the palace of Cardinal Alexander Farnese, located in the Italian village of Caprarola. Reportedly, the castle once had 365 windows (as many as days of the year), 52 rooms (as many as weeks of the year), 12 ballrooms (as many as months of the year) and also 4 towers (as many as 4 seasons of the year). For defensive purposes, the castle was erected upon a rocky hill, making it impossible for an enemy to organize an underground attack.
Krzyżtopór was furnished with amenities that were rarely seen in the 17th century, such as ventilation and heating system, and unique waterworks that provided all rooms with fresh water. Allegedly, the ceiling in one of dining rooms was made up of an aquarium containing exotic fish. Additionally, a system of dumbwaiters carried food from pantries to the upper floors.
The castle, without convenient proximity to main roads and rail connections, is visited by relatively few tourists. However, as walls, bastions and moat are relatively well-preserved, its magnitude is still very impressive. Though it is regarded as a permanent ruin, since around 90 percent of the walls have been preserved, reconstruction has been planned several times. Currently, efforts have been underway to roof the entire complex; however, this ambitious project lacks sufficient funding.

L S I have admired the exterior of James Gibbs’ eighteenth-century church, St Martin-in-the-Fields, for many years . I recently posted a shot of the church, which can be seen at the top of the comments . Many of you will have listened to concerts or recordings from St Martin-in-the-Fields.
It was only on this most recent trip that I finally had a look at the interior. It’s a wonderfully simple and uncluttered church, which is also surprisingly light . The image was taken with my Iphone.
I was particularly impressed with the relatively new East window.
The window designed by Shirazeh Houshiary, in collaboration with architect Pip Horne, was installed above the altar of St Martin-in-the-Fields in 2008. The glass, held within a stainless steel framework, is made of mouth-blown clear glass panels etched on both sides with a subtle, feathery pattern, a recognisable hallmark of Houshiary’s paintings. The glass panels graduate from a periphery of more transparent glass to a denser, whiter centre. The central ellipse itself is lightly etched and lit in such a way as to form a focal point of light visible internally and externally.
The artist wrote : “We needed to create a design that would resonate with people of different faiths, both secular and faithful, rich and poor. We needed to be in harmony with Gibbs’ vision and sensitive to his architecture and yet propose contemporary vision and materials. What is important to us is that the image has a universal dimension and everyone can find something in experiencing it. “. In a world of increasing religious intolerance, the window is like a fresh breath of air.

Bloomington architect George Miller designed this beautiful Queen Anne style house for Edward & Ora Gridley in 1885. Edward Gridley was the son of Asahel Gridley, a local land developer and attorney. The house was preserved by Alice Light McTurnan, whose family lived here from 1904 to 1996.
The Edward & Ora Gridley House is a contributing property in Bloomington's East Grove Street District. This residential historic district includes 43 houses and apartment buildings, 25 of which are considered contributing buildings. The houses in the district were built between 1855 and 1915 for many of Bloomington's upper middle class residents. Due to a building boom between 1880 and 1900, the then-popular Queen Anne style is the most prevalent in the district. Other popular architectural styles in the district include Greek Revival homes from the 1850s, Italianate homes built between 1860 and 1880, and Arts and Crafts homes built in the 1900s. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

The Litchfield Public Library is situated in the center of Library Park in the heart of downtown Litchfield. The block on which the library sits forms the center of the downtown square.
The Classical Revival-style library was designed by Bloomington architect Paul Moratz and was constructed in 1904-05 at a cost of just under $16,000. Funds in the amount of $15,000 were obtained from the Andrew Carnegie Library Trust. In return, the City of Litchfield promised to maintain a free public library at the cost of not less than one-thousand dollars a year. Litchfield's contribution exceeded this amount.
Known as the "Patron Saint" of libraries, Andrew Carnegie spent the first 66 years of his life building a great fortune and the last 18 years giving it away. Between 1886 and 1919 his library benefactions world-wide surpassed $56M dollars. The Litchfield Public Library is just one of 105 Carnegie grants in various amounts made to Illinois communities between 1900-1916.
A new, larger Litchfield Public Library building opened in 2017. The building shown in this photo is now owned by the City of Litchfield where it is open to the public and home to the Litchfield Tourism Office.
Litchfield, a city in Montgomery County, is located in South Central Illinois and is part of the Metro East of St. Louis. Forty-six miles to the north of Litchfield is the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. Two separate alignments of historic U.S. Route 66 (1930-1940 and 1940-1977), aka the Mother Road, run through the city. Litchfield had a population of 6,605 at the 2020 Census.
The Litchfield Carnegie Public Library was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1999.

Paradigm, one of London's largest sculptures outside the Francis Crick Institute scientific research building. Architects: Hok; Sculptor: Shawcross
architect Piet Blom; 38 cube-shaped stilt houses and 13 business cubes at the Blaak near the Oude Haven.
Conçu par les architectes Pierre Bossan et Wilhelm Léo, l'édifice est construit entre 1855 et 1876, puis consacré le 7 juillet 1889 par Joseph-Alfred Foulon, archevêque de Lyon. Il est dédié « à Saint Maurice et ses compagnons », comme le rappelle une inscription en latin sur le fronton.
Le bâtiment a une forme d'ensemble trapue, rectangulaire de la façade jusqu'au transept, à peine saillant à l'extérieur, avec une abside semi-cylindrique de hauteur presque égale. Il est construit en pierres de taille régulièrement alignées selon un agencement original : sur toute la hauteur, un niveau intercalaire de pierres calcaires ordinaires (blanc-gris) souligne deux niveaux de « pierres de Couzon », célèbres pour leur teinte dorée, ici quelque peu atténuée par l'âge. Un rang de pierres saillantes et décorées entoure l'ensemble aux deux-tiers de la hauteur.
La couverture est réalisée en tuiles « romanes » (tuiles canal), ce qui correspond à la tradition locale pour les maisons individuelles mais est rare pour un édifice de ce type. Le toit principal à double pente couvre les trois nefs sans discontinuité.
L'ornementation est d'inspiration néoromane. Le portail est encadré de colonnes à chapiteaux et surmonté d'un arc de plein cintre encadrant un fronton sculpté. Il est entouré de deux niches à colonnettes contenant les statues de Saint Laurent et de Saint Vincent. Les fenêtres sont d'un module unique, étroit et surmonté d'un arc, simples pour l'abside mais doubles ou triples sur la façade et les flancs, en harmonie avec le clocher, dont le style roman est d'origine. Le haut de l'abside est orné de mâchicoulis décoratifs, prolongés en festons le long du reste du bâtiment.

Photographed the reflection of the McIntyre Gold Mine No. 11 Shaft Headframe on Pearl Lake located in the Town of Schumacher in the Township of Tisdale located in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Standing at 53.34 metres (175 feet) in height, the No. 11 shaft headframe is the sole remaining building of the McIntyre mine, which finally ceased operations in the 1990s after 90 years of continuous extraction. A headframe serves as the top of an elevator shaft, supporting the machinery that allows miners to travel deep into the mine and carry ore and waste rock to the surface. Sitting below No. 11 is a mineshaft 2.5 km deep that gives access to the ore below.
The No. 11 McIntyre Headframe consists of a sturdy steel frame, sheathed in B.C. fir tongue-in-groove planks, and clad with galvanized corrugated iron. Inside, the headframe once housed two ore skips and three-man cages. In its heyday, it handled about 80 per cent of the material extracted from this landmark mine.
Though no longer in operation, the No. 11 headframe continues to be a much-loved city icon, with images occasionally projected onto its large flat surface to mark special occasions.

The wonderfully restored West Theater.
"The West Theatre first opened on Christmas Day in 1937, the brainstorm of J.B. Clinton and Clarence Kaake. As designed by architect Perry E. Crosier of Minneapolis, it is a streamlined modern variation of Art Deco and originally seated 595 people. Unfortunately, in the mid 1950s the theatre closed. Subsequently the space housed several operations until the early 1980s when it ultimately became vacant for over a decade. The building got new life in 1997 when it reopened as a quilt shop, then David Orman purchased the building and operated Raven and Associates Screen Printers until 2014. Orman put the building up for sale in 2015, but when he learned that Robert Boone had an interest in restoring the building to its original use as a theater, Orman pulled the property off the market. Nearly three years later, at an overall cost of $1.5 million dollars, The West Theatre had its Grand Opening on June 21, 2019."
Completed in 1962, the building is one of a very few state-sponsored buildings designed by Wright. Government buildings always seem to demand your attention to their skyward thrust; Wright's design here eschews that for the long, low and horizontal curve that embraces the ground and melds with the hills to the east.

The National Wallace Monument (generally known as the Wallace Monument) is a tower standing on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking Stirling in Scotland. It commemorates Sir William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish hero.
The tower was constructed following a fundraising campaign, which accompanied a resurgence of Scottish national identity in the 19th century. In addition to public subscription, it was partially funded by contributions from a number of foreign donors, including Italian national leader Giuseppe Garibaldi. The foundation stone was laid in 1861 by the Duke of Atholl in his role as Grand Master Mason of Scotland with a short speech given by Sir Archibald Alison.
It was completed in 1869 to the designs of architect John Thomas Rochead at a cost of £18,000, the monument is a 67-metre (220-foot) sandstone tower, built in the Victorian Gothic style.
