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
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

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“.

Commande de la Commune d'Andrézieux-Bouthéon
Au début des années 1970, Total commande à l'architecte et ingénieur Jean Prouvé une centaine de stations-service modulaires. 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. Car ces stations « Prouvé » sont devenues collector.
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. :-)

The Avant is a multi-use tower occupying an entire city block between Elmwood Ave and Delaware Ave in Buffalo, New York. It houses class A office space, and the Embassy Suites hotel, and luxury residential condominiums on the top three floors. When it was completed in 2009, the building housed the most expensive group of condominiums ever built in the Buffalo metropolitan area. The building's remodeling is the largest recycling project in Western New York history.
Originally called the Thaddeus J. Dulski Federal Building, it was sold in April 2007 for $6.1 million and began renovated for $83 million. It is the 22nd tallest building in Buffalo.

Arquitecto :Martin de Carrera
Architect: Martin de Carrera
El ayuntamiento de Oñati es Monumento Histórico Artístico de la Provincia de Gipuzkoa desde 1964, y su obra es considerada como una de las más importantes del Barroco Civil en todo el País Vasco. Si la Universidad de Oñati realizada bajo el mecenazgo de Mercado de Zuazola se puede comparar con las más importantes universidades renacentistas del momento, el Ayuntamiento aunque cronológicamente no es el primero de estas características, es motivo de referencia constante, por su factura, ubicación y belleza.
El edificio municipal construído entre los años de 1764-1783 fue diseñado por Martín de Carrera, colaborando con el proceso constructivo Francisco de Echánove quien se encargó de la cantería y Francisco de Cortaberría y Miguel de Sarazíbar de la carpinteria. La más que notable labor de herrería la llevaron a cabo José de Labroche, Joaquín de Arbe y Ventura Jubiondo, correspondiento el diseño de la sillería de la sala principal Manuel Martín de Carrera . A pesar del fallecimiento del arquitecto Martín de Carrera el 31 de agosto de 1768, la obra se desarrolla con normalidad, entregándose en los plazos establecidos.
La Casa Consistorial de Oñati es una construcción exenta de finales del Barroco que está ubicada en uno de los extremos de la plaza, entre las calles Zumalacárregui y Barria, poseyendo un fuerte sentido urbano. Edificio de piedra sillar, tiene planta rectangular, acceso por soportales más dos alturas y cubierta a cuatro aguas. Su fachada principal tiene una composición simple y una primorosa decoración con destacada obra de cantería y talla que da al edificio un valor añadido. Cuatro pilastras gigantes elevadas sobre unas pequeñas basas, van desde el suelo hasta prácticamente la cornisa y recorren verticalmente dicha fachada ordenando simetricamente la composición en tres alturas. Al nivel del suelo se abren los soportales que dan acceso al pórtico por medio tres arcos carpaneles, algo retranquedados con respento a las pilastras, lo que aumenta el movimiento en fachada. Los pisos superiores poseen seis vanos moldurados, tres por cada altura que corresponden con los balcones, en torno a los cuales se concentra la riquísima decoración: rocallas, orejeras, frontones curvos partidos, florones, cartelas, molduras, hojarasca, elementos vegetales, veneras, ménsulas, guirnaldas caídas, decoración menuda…. Por otra parte la labor de forja de los balcones y la escalinata son de magnífica factura, a base de de rocallas, flores de chapa recortada, formas geométicas con juegos ondulados y líneas redondeadas en movimiento. La abundancia decorativa continúa en el tramo central con el escudo, que rompe el alero dejándolo a modo de frontón. Finalmente cinco pináculos sobre el tejado coincidiendo con las bandas de fachada, aumenta todavía más la faceta decorativa. Eli nterior es conglomerado y se accede mediante los arcos cubiertos de bóveda de arista enyesados. Bajo ellos se encuentra la puerta principal que conduce a una gran escalera de un tramo, que tras el descansillo se convierte en escalera doble. La caja de esta escalera está cubierta con un pequeño tambor ciego y un cupulín con gajos. El gran salón de sesiones tiene tres puertas de entrada, coincidentes con los balcones de fachada. Las fachadas laterales son de piedra sillar en la primera planta y el resto de mampostería revocada. La variedad de usos; juzgado, vivienda, archivo, alhóndiga, cárcel… parece que caracterizó los primeros años de actividad de este singular edificio, cuya popularidad hace olvidar otros ayuntamientos de similar composición que carecen de su elegancia
The town hall of Oñati has been a Historic Artistic Monument of the Province of Gipuzkoa since 1964, and its work is considered one of the most important of the Civil Baroque in the whole of the Basque Country. If the University of Oñati, built under the patronage of Mercado de Zuazola, can be compared with the most important Renaissance universities of the time, the Town Hall, although chronologically not the first of these characteristics, is a constant reference point for its workmanship, location and beauty.
The municipal building, built between 1764 and 1783, was designed by Martín de Carrera, with Francisco de Echánove collaborating in the construction process, who was in charge of the stonework, and Francisco de Cortaberría and Miguel de Sarazíbar in charge of the carpentry. The more than notable ironwork was carried out by José de Labroche, Joaquín de Arbe and Ventura Jubiondo, with the design of the seating in the main hall corresponding to Manuel Martín de Carrera. Despite the death of the architect Martín de Carrera on 31 August 1768, the work was carried out normally and was delivered within the established time frame.
The Town Hall of Oñati is a free-standing building from the late Baroque period, located at one end of the square, between Zumalacárregui and Barria streets, with a strong urban feel. The ashlar stone building has a rectangular floor plan, access through arcades and two floors and a hipped roof. Its main façade has a simple composition and exquisite decoration with outstanding stonework and carving that gives the building added value. Four giant pillars raised on small bases, go from the ground to practically the cornice and run vertically along the façade, symmetrically arranging the composition in three floors. At ground level, the arcades open out and give access to the portico through three basket-shaped arches, slightly set back from the pillars, which increases the movement of the façade. The upper floors have six moulded openings, three for each height, corresponding to the balconies, around which the rich decoration is concentrated: rocailles, lancets, split curved pediments, rosettes, cartouches, mouldings, foliage, plant elements, scallops, corbels, hanging garlands, small decoration... On the other hand, the wrought iron work on the balconies and the staircase is of magnificent workmanship, based on rocailles, cut metal flowers, geometric shapes with wavy interplays and rounded lines in movement. The decorative abundance continues in the central section with the coat of arms, which breaks the eaves leaving it as a pediment. Finally, five pinnacles on the roof coinciding with the façade bands, further increase the decorative aspect. The interior is made of conglomerate and is accessed through the arches covered with plastered groin vaults. Below them is the main door leading to a large one-flight staircase, which after the landing becomes a double staircase. The stairwell is covered with a small blind drum and a small dome with segments. The large assembly hall has three entrance doors, coinciding with the balconies on the façade. The side façades are made of ashlar stone on the first floor and the rest of plastered masonry. The variety of uses; court, residence, archive, market, prison… seems to have characterised the first years of activity of this unique building, whose popularity makes us forget other town halls of a similar composition that lack its elegance.

I took a class at the Photocentrum Kreuzberg in the very building on the right. What more to do during the break, than grabbing the camera and make some pictures in the neighborhood?
