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.

Bâti entre 1631-1662, par les familles Spinola et de Gavre, le château a été acquis en 1715 par le Prince de Mérode.
Restauré maintes fois aux XIX ème S. et XX ème S., il a la particularité notamment de compter des jardins dessinés par Le Nôtre, architecte des jardins du château de Versailles.
Le blason des Spinola, une épine fichée dans le milieu de l'écu, est entouré du collier de la Toison d'or en récompense des services politiques et militaires rendus à la cause des Pays-Bas et de l'Espagne.
En effet, la Belgique actuelle n'est indépendante que depuis 1830. Auparavant, elle fut espagnole, française et hollandaise à des époques différentes.
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“.

The defensive structure that was already present when the town was founded by the Romans was integrated over time with towers and bastions. The Rocchetta (small castle) built by Egidio Albornoz in the 14th century is still visible, together with the Rocca (castle) of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta that was added in 1450.
The current structure of the monument is due to Giovanni della Rovere, Prince of Senigallia, and son-in-law of Federico III da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino. It was the Duke Federico who offered Giovanni the best architects of the time: Luciano Laurana and Baccio Pontelli. The works started in 1478 with the purpose of adapting the castle to the new defensive needs. In 1503 the Rocca was conquered by Cesare Borgia, the author of the famous massacre carried out in Senigallia and described by Niccolò Machiavelli.
Rocca Roveresca is a unique monument because it was not only a fortress, but also a noble palace, and the seat of an artillery academy founded by Guidubaldo della Rovere in 1533. After the extinction of the ducal dynasty, when the town returned under the domain of the Church in 1631, the castle was used as a papal prison and an orphanage.
Today it hosts art exhibitions and prestigious cultural events.

Basílica de Santa María la Real, Asturias, España.
La basílica de Santa María la Real es un sitio de culto católico situado en Covadonga, Principado de Asturias (España), declarado basílica menor el 11 de septiembre de 1901.
El templo fue ideado por Roberto Frassinelli y levantado entre 1877 y 1901 por el arquitecto Federico Aparici y Soriano, de estilo neorrománico, construido íntegramente en piedra caliza rosa.
La basílica presenta una gran unidad estilística dentro de los cánones del estilo románico en el que fue concebida, aunque incluye elementos propios de la arquitectura gótica. El edificio se asienta sobre una gran terraza. Presenta tres naves, la central notablemente más alta que las laterales, con transepto y cabecera rematada por tres ábsides escalonados; las naves se cubren por bóvedas de arista. La fachada principal llama la atención por las esbeltas agujas que rematan las torres y la presencia de óculos. El acceso se forma por un pórtico adelantado a la nave, con tres arcadas de medio punto y rematadas por un pretil. En todo el edificio destaca la tonalidad rosácea por el tipo de piedra caliza que contrasta con el verde del paisaje.
En el interior, destaca la imagen de Nuestra Señora, que recibe culto en el altar mayor, obra del escultor decimonónico Juan Samsó. Debemos destacar la puerta del sagrario, obra del diseñador Alfredo Miranda Fernández(1911-2009)y realizada en Barcelona en los talleres de Modest Morató (1909-1993).
The Basilica of Santa María la Real is a Catholic cult site located in Covadonga, Principality of Asturias (Spain), declared a lower basilica on September 11, 1901.
The temple was devised by Roberto Frassinelli and raised between 1877 and 1901 by the architect Federico Apartici and Soriano, in a neo -Romanesque style, built entirely in pink limestone.
The basilica has a great stylistic unit within the canons of the Romanesque style in which it was conceived, although it includes elements of Gothic architecture. The building sits on a large terrace. It has three ships, the plant remarkably higher than the sides, with transept and header topped by three staggered apses; The ships are covered by edge vaults. The main facade draws attention to the slender needles that finish the towers and the presence of oculos. Access is formed by a porch advanced to the ship, with three half -point arcades and topped by a prestile. Throughout the building, rosacea tone stands out for the type of limestone that contrasts with the green of the landscape.
Inside, the image of Our Lady stands out, which receives cult at the main altar, work of the nineteenth -century sculptor Juan Samsó. We must highlight the Gate of the Tabernacle, the work of the designer Alfredo Miranda Fernández (1911-2009) and held in Barcelona in the workshops of Modest Morató (1909-1993).
(Architect: Dominique Perrault,1992)
The building was designed by French architect Dominique Perrault and holds up to 12,000 people. The arena is famous for its steel roof construction - with a diameter of 142 meters, it has Europe's largest steel roof. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velodrom

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.

L'hôpital a été dessiné en 1901 par l'architecte catalan Lluís Domènech i Montaner et il a été terminé en 1930. Le fils de l'architecte, Pere Domènech i Roura, y travailla également1.
Il remplace l'hôpital de la Sainte-Croix (hospital de la Santa Creu, aujourd'hui bibliothèque de Catalogne), situé dans le Raval et datant du XVe siècle, peu adapté à la croissance de la ville au XIXe siècle.
Une partie du financement provient du banquier Pau Gil Serra (es) à la suite d'un legs remontant à 1892.
L'hôpital déménage dans de nouveaux locaux entre 2003 et 2009. En 1991, il reçoit la Creu de Sant Jordi, distinction décernée par la Généralité de Catalogne.
The hospital was designed in 1901 by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner and completed in 1930. The architect's son, Pere Domènech i Roura, also worked on it1.
It replaced the fifteenth-century Hospital de la Santa Creu (now the Library of Catalonia) in the Raval, which was ill-suited to the city's growth in the nineteenth century.
Part of the funding came from the banker Pau Gil Serra (es) following a bequest dating back to 1892.
The hospital moved to new premises between 2003 and 2009. In 1991, it was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
(Dutch: Markthal) The building is a residential and office building with a market hall underneath. The ceiling is adorned with an 11.000 m2 artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, named Hoorn des Overvloeds (Horn of Plenty). The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects.
The work was made using digital 3D-techniques. This enormous file needed special servers, which are also used for making animated movies. The digital 3D-animation was separated in 4000 pieces and then printed on perforated aluminum panels. The 4000 aluminum panels are now on the inside of the hall.

"Crescent House"
- Charred cedar, stained cedar, stained spotted gum, timber framing, steel beam, aluminium plate, micaceous iron oxide.
Looking back from whence we entered the "Crescent House" we see how the architect has played with darkness, light and geometry. Unfortunately the charred cedar is easily marked, but those little holes create the impression of starlight against a night sky.
St George in the East
Situated in Cannon Street Road, Whitechapel, London E1 0BH.
It was built between 1714 and 1729 with the funding from an Act of Parliament. It is one of the six London churches designed and built by famous architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
The church was very expensive to build, at the cost of nearly £20k, it was designed to seat over 1,000 people.
In and around 1800, major work was done on the entrance steps. In 1820 a new vault was added, also the churchyard was drained. In 1829 the church was re-roofed. In 1871, box pews were removed in order to install new seating.
In 1880, 5 Venetian glass mosaics were installed in the apse, illustrating passion and resurrection scenes. The organ which was in poor state had to be rebuilt and between 1881-1886 this was completed by the firm Gray and Davidson.
In 1941 during the blitz the church received a direct hit from a bomb. The interior was destroyed by a severe fire that swept through the building. Fortunately the walls and towers survived intact. The mosaics were also saved but had to be restored.
A new interior was completed in 1964, designed by Arthur Bailey. The design, a much more simple plan.
Scenes from the film ‘The Long Good Friday’ were filmed in and around the churchyard.
