Roman Catholic Boniface Church Almere NL.
Architects Jurgen Boonstra and Freerk Hoekstra of Royal HaskoningDHV - 2021
Almere was built at a time when church attendance was declining sharply. That is why it was decided to opt for ecumenical places of worship that Protestants and Catholics would make joint use of. Completely against the national trend, however, the number of Catholics in Almere has increased in recent years. This is mainly due to the rapid growth in the number of inhabitants in Almere, as well as to newcomers from countries where the Catholic faith is still widely practiced. Because of this increase, the Boniface parish needed its own church, where its own tradition can be visibly present. After years of preparation, the church is now in use. The architects opted for a classic starting point: a nave with two aisles and an apse at the end. Daylight has been chosen to enter the church from above. This gives a calming, sacred effect. That light also shines on the 72-meter-long artwork by Théodore Stravinsky that the church has purchased. That work was taken from a church in Almelo that has since disappeared. This artwork is incorporated into the top of the facade walls. The materials used for the church are often left unfinished, such as rough concrete, a laminated timber structure, wood paneling and rough masonry walls. The imposing artwork by Stravinksy enriches the art experience in Almere, so that the new church may be included in the art route.

Whitehall is a 75-room, 100,000 square foot Gilded Age mansion open to the public in Palm Beach, Florida in the United States. Completed in 1902, it is a major example of neoclassical Beaux Arts architecture designed by Carrère and Hastings for Henry Flagler, a leading captain of industry in the late 19th century, and a leading developer of Florida as a tourist destination. The building is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It now houses the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, named after its builder.
The site of the home was purchased for $50,000 in 1893 (as of 2010 that would be $1,197,562.39) by Flagler. The site was later surveyed for construction in July 1900 and the home was completed in time for Flagler and his wife to move in on February 6, 1902. The architects were John Carrère and Thomas Hastings, who had earlier designed the Ponce de Leon Hotel and several other buildings in St. Augustine for Flagler. Whitehall was to be a winter residence, and Henry gave it to Mary Lily as a wedding present. They would travel to Palm Beach each year in one of their own private railcars, one of which was No. 91.
In 1959, the site was saved from demolition by one of Henry Flagler's granddaughters Jean Flagler Matthews. She established the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum non-profit corporation, which purchased the building in 1959, opening it as a museum in 1960. The upper ten stories of the hotel addition were demolished in 1963 in preparing the museum for the public.
Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, exhibits, and special programs. The museum offers several programs, many of which are seasonal, lasting only from October to January. In addition to an annual chamber music series, the Flagler hosts the Whitehall lecture series, which brings “experts and best-selling authors to discuss Gilded Age topics, events, and local history.” Past lecture series include historical talks about the dawn of the Progressive Era, World War I, Gilded Age presidents, engineering feats, and Metaphysical America: Spirituality and Health Movements During the Gilded Age. The Flagler also holds a special exhibition each year, often showcasing Gilded Age paintings, sculptures, glamour photography, or material culture, such as board games, jewelry, cartoons, Tiffany & Co. silver pieces (including ones displayed at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition), and women's fashion. It also hosts a variety of local galas and balls throughout the year. The Museum is located at Cocoanut Row and Whitehall Way in Palm Beach.
Flagler died of injuries sustained in falling down a flight of marble stairs at Whitehall in 1913, at the age of 83. Mary Lily died four years later, and the home was devised to her niece Louise Clisby Wise Lewis, who sold the property to investors. They constructed a 300-room, ten-story addition to the west side of the building, obliterating Mr. Flagler's offices and the housekeeper's apartment, and altering the original kitchen and pantry area. Carrere and Hastings were the architects of the 1925 reconstruction. In 1939 it was described as a $4,000,000 building and Palm Beach's second-largest hotel.
When it was completed in 1902, Whitehall was hailed by the New York Herald as "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." It was designed in the Beaux Arts style, meant to rival the extravagant mansions in Newport, Rhode Island.
Distinct from these northern homes, Whitehall had no outbuildings or subsidiary structures. Nor had it elaborately planned or cultivated gardens. Plants, flowers, trees and shrubs were allowed to grow unaided.
The mansion is built around a large open-air central courtyard and is modeled after palaces in Spain and Italy. Three stories tall with several wings, the mansion has fifty-five fully restored rooms furnished with period pieces. These rooms are large with marble floors, walls and columns, murals on the ceilings, and heavy gilding.
Officially opened February 4, 2005, the $4.5-million Flagler Kenan Pavilion is the first addition to the property since 1925. The 8,100-square-foot (750 m2) pavilion is named after the mogul and William R. Kenan Jr., Flagler's engineer, friend and brother-in-law. It was designed in the Beaux-Arts manner by Jeffery W. Smith of Palm Beach-based Smith Architectural Group, Inc. and took almost four years to build. The featured display in this pavilion is Railcar No. 91, Flagler's private railcar built in Delaware in 1886. According to the museum, the car was restored using “documentation from the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian, the Delaware State Archives, and the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware.” It also houses the seasonal Pavilion Café and tea service.

torpedohallen, conversion of naval shipyard building to housing, holmen copenhagen, 1953 / 2000-2003.
architects: tegnestuen vandkunsten.
after 14 years as an architect at vandkunsten, I recently decided to quit my job and thought these february photos of the torpedo boat hall conversion, the very first project I worked on, would be a good way to mark that rather momentous decision.
for now, I am going to be spending some time with my children, but if anyone hears of a job for an experienced architect in greater copenhagen, let me know :)
Brasilia, Brazil's inland federal capital, built from scratch 50 years ago, on a high plateau of the Central West, an extreme & extremely strange 20th century example of modern architecture & urban planning. Officially declared Brazil's new capital in April 1960, it was conceived by architect Oscar Niemeyer, urban planner Lucio Costa & landscape architect Burle Marx ( by commission of then president Juscelino Kubitscheck) & built with the labour of millions of poor peasants in only 3 years. A city of colourless monolithical federal buildings, dominated by Oscar Niemeyer's architecture, widely spaced along a broad relatively treeless avenue....and numbered blocks of identical apt buildings (called Super Quadras) branching out north & south, like aeroplane wings, from the base of the shaft that is Esplanada dos Ministerios. It seems designed to maximize efficiency without consideration for the heart & soul that constitutes human urban inhabitancy. Located beside a huge artificial lake, whereas the avenue of federal bldgs is a concrete wilderness with little shelter or shade from the hot sun, the residential Quadras are surrounded by ecological parks & green space & carry a calming air of tranqulity, stillness & silence. But on the streets & pathways that run through the Quadras.....no people. Feels a bit like a tropical ghost town of uniform towers.

Begun by Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin, followed by Bailey and Robb, circa 1966-70. 3-storey and attic former ambulance station and headquarters offices on prominent corner site with distinctive red glass and perspex emblematic cross. Previously 2 linked blocks, link now unobtrusively blocked. Squared and snecked bull-faced stone to ground floor, predominantly white tesserae to overhanging other floors. Bays mostly divided by simple concrete columns. Storeys divided by brown glass panels.
An extremely rare, striking and impressive building by the practice of Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin. Lubetkin (1901-1990), the celebrated pioneer architect of the Modern Movement in Britain, was principally involved in the design of the dominating cross and geometric staircase. One of only two buildings ever constructed in Scotland by Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin. The building displays an interesting use of materials, including: tesserae, concrete, stone and coloured glass.
Lubetkin founded the radical architectural practice Tecton in the 1930s and it was responsible for some of the decade's most outstanding buildings, including the Penguin Pool at London Zoo and Highpoint flats in London. Tecton was disbanded in 1948.
The contractor Logincon Ltd went into liquidation in 1970 and Drummond Lithgow were appointed to continue the work. The building was opened by HM the Queen Mother on the 26th June 1970 and the plaque then unveiled is located in the main hall.
Disused since 2010 this is now on the Buildings at Risk Register at category of risk rated low. The building is showing signs of deterioration because of its long-term vacancy. An area of cladding has been lost and there is localised damage to the exposed concrete 'ribs'. The signage is becoming increasingly rusted and is subsequently staining areas of the building.

Culture and Congress Centre – CKK Jordanki, Torún, Poland
The architecture firm Menis Arquitectos led by spanish architect Fernando Menis has designed the Culture and Congress Centre – CKK Jordanki a contemporary concert hall in Torún, Poland.
CKK Jordanki is located within a green ring around the historic city centre, overlooking the Vistula River. Therefore, special care was took in designing the orientation and height of the volumes so that the presence of the new building establishes a harmonious relationship with the natural and built environment. Thus the building occupies half of the plot, the other half being dedicated to park and the height is kept as low as possible, to avoid blocking the view over the river. The visual effect achieved is that of a natural object, a rock embedded in a gently sloping meadow.
On the other hand, the materiality refers Torun’s Gothic legacy, an UNESCO protected city, in which almost all the façades of the old town boast of red brick. CKK Jordanki’s outside is made of white concrete in contrast to the cuts in the skin that give a glimpse of the red inner lining, made of crushed brick. The use of brick in Jordanki CKK is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional brick, is a reference to Torun’s façades, and ultimately to its cultural heritage.
The program is characterized by a great flexibility at such extent that a building, which according to the client’s brief, was meant to be only a concerts hall, ended up being a space for all kinds of concerts and events, within the same initial budget. First of all, the theatre space is able to adapt easily to different capacities. For instance you may join two rooms to act as the main theatre by moving the walls and changing the number of the easily removable seats. It is possible to hold several separate and simultaneous events. Secondly, thanks to its dynamic ceiling, the building can be tuned to effectively absorb symphonic performances, chamber, theatre, opera, and film and meet any acoustic requirements the theatre designer requires. Finally, the concert hall can open to the outside, allowing to join the interior stage with the park outside for outdoor performances.
Picado, used in the entire building, is a mix of concrete and other materials. At CKK Jordanki, it was mixed either with reclaimed red bricks from a local factory (Ceramsus) for the sound reflection effect; either with a volcanic reddish stone from China, for its sound absorption effect. The picado is an innovative technique, conceived by Fernando Menis, consisting of mixing concrete with other materials and break it afterwards. Besides achieving a rough expression, the picado allows excellent acoustics results. The first time Menis used it, was for Magma Art & Congress (Tenerife, Canary Islands, 2005), by mixing concrete with local volcanic stones. For the CKK Jordanki, the technique has been researched further, tested and certified by the Spanish and the Polish Building Research Institute -ITB, respectively. The red brick is present almost on all the façades of the city and its use in CKK Jordanki is Menis’s contemporary reinterpretation of this traditional material while a clear reference to the town’s cultural heritage.
The definition of the auditorium space and of its shapes was made through an interactive process, always in relation to acoustics, until reaching the final shape. The plastic properties of concrete allows its use in concert halls in many different ways because it allows you to control the geometry (liquid stone) and adapt its shape to the formwork so that you can control the first sound reflections the listener received. In addition, the surface treatment of the crushed brick and concrete mix, allowed us a kind of diffusion, very difficult to achieve with other materials.
The moving parts of the auditorium have an area ranging from 80 to 140 m², having a weight that varies according to the piece, from 11 to 20 Tn. Each of the pieces can move independently from 3 to 5 m in height, allowing adjustment of the geometry and volume of the hall, depending on the needs of each moment, transforming a volume of 8,200 m3 with a time reverberation of 1.85 seconds, into a volume of 6,800 m3, with a reverberation time reduced down to 1.35 seconds. By adding additional absorption you could reach a reverberation time of 1.2 seconds, which covers the entire range of possible activities: 1.85 seconds for symphonic music, 1.6 seconds for opera and 1.2 seconds for theatre.

John Ballendine built this finely proportined Georgian house, Rockledge, circa 1760. William Buckland, a premier colonial Chesapeake architect reportedly designed it. Rockledge is a rare example of a Tidewater Virginia stone dwelling. Several entrepreneurs who sought to maximize Occoquan's potential as a port and commercial center resided here over time.
Occoquan, Virginia.
(Swedish: Bjertorp slott) Built: 1911-1914. Architect: Ferdinand Boberg (1860-1946). The first owner was Knut Henrik Littorin, born in 1860. He received his education at Gothenburg University Business Institute and was employed by Alfred Nobel's oil concern in Russia. Investing in Russian oil sources and companies, he created himself a respectable fortune.
The castle was owned by the family Littorin until 1956 when it became the domestic science school for girls. In 1980 a hotel and restaurant was established at the castle and so it is still today.

Sorry for the bad shot. I took it through the glass.
Conceived as an experiment in modern living, it was the personal residence of Bob and Helene Alexander (the developer who was responsible for building most of Palm Springs' mid-century modern tract homes). It was featured in a spread in Look magazine in 1962. The Alexanders were killed in a plane crash in 1965. Elvis rented this house for himself as a quiet place to get away, and had plans to hold his wedding here until word got out and the press turned it into a circus, so they ran off to Vegas, instead. But it is famous as the home where Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon.

The Merchandise Mart was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White to be a "city within a city". Second only to Holabird & Root in Chicago art deco architecture, the firm had a long-standing relationship with the Field family. Started in 1928, completed in 1931, and built in the same art deco style as the Chicago Board of Trade Building, its cost was reported as both $32 million and $38 million. The building was the largest in the world in terms of floorspace, but was surpassed by the Pentagon in 1943,and now stands thirty-sixth on the list of largest buildings in the world. Once the largest commercial space in the world, Dubai International Airport Terminal 3 is now recognized by Guinness World Records as holding the record
When opened in 1930, the Merchandise Mart or the Merch Mart, located in the Near North Side, Chicago, Illinois, was the largest building in the world with 4,000,000 square feet of floor space. Previously owned by the Marshall Field family, the Mart centralized Chicago's wholesale goods business by consolidating vendors and trade under a single roof.Massive in its construction, and serving as a monument to early 20th century merchandising and architecture, the art deco landmark anchors the daytime skyline at the junction of the Chicago River branches. With upper levels bathed in colored floodlight, the structure stands out against darker downtown buildings in night views. The building continues to be a leading retailing and wholesale destination, hosting 20,000 visitors and tenants per day.The Merchandise Mart is so large that it had its own ZIP code until 2008 (60654). In 2010, the building opened up its Design Center showrooms to the public for the first time.
