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
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
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.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

Brug in de Noordelijke Randweg bij Nieuw-Vennep over de Hoofdvaart.
De brug is 143 m lang. Lengte pyloon: 82 m.
Hiermee is het de grootste Calatravabrug in Haarlemmermeer.
Niet alleen de bovenkant van de brug maar ook de onderkant van de brug, is een mooie constructieve ontwerp van de architect.

The bridge is 143 m long. Pylon length: 82 m.
This makes it the largest Calatrava bridge in Haarlemmermeer.
Not only the top of the bridge but also the bottom of the bridge is a beautiful structural design by the architect.

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.
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. :-)
Sledmere House is set within a park designed by Lancelot Brown, more commonly known with the byname Capability Brown, who was an English landscape architect. He is remembered as "the last of the great English 18th-century artists to be accorded his due" and "England's greatest gardener"
The house is a Grade I listed Georgian country house, containing Chippendale, Sheraton and French furnishings and many fine pictures, Located in the village of Sledmere, North Yorkshire, England
The house is built in Nottinghamshire ashlar on three storeys to an H-shaped plan and is the home of Sir Tatton Sykes, 8th Baronet. The present house was begun in 1751, extended in the 1790s, and rebuilt after a fire in 1911.
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.

Avec sa courbe spectaculaire et sa structure typique des années 20, ce magnifique escalier patrimonial situé au Printemps Haussmann qui répondent aux lignes rationnelles de l’Art déco
Il est né en pleines Années Folles, entre 1922 et 1924 sous la direction de l’architecte Georges Wybo
Il a été érigé 60 ans après la création du Grand Magasin à la suite des incendies des Nouveaux Magasins Printemps Haussmann de 1921
Après une restauration minutieuse, faisant suite à une fermeture de près de 40 ans, il retrouve un rôle d’honneur au Printemps Haussmann,
C’est la seule structure du Printemps Haussmann en béton armé.
Elle est unique dans le magasin et offre une grande légèreté grâce à la succession de miroirs le long des murs latéraux.
L'escalier flottant : Il se caractérise par l'absence de points d'appui visibles. Les rampes sont délimitées par des ferronneries aux motifs géométriques courant au centre de la cage.
La rambarde en forme de P : Cette caractéristique souligne l'attachement du Printemps à son identité et s'inscrit dans une approche moderne de la mise en valeur
With its spectacular curve and its typical structure of the 20s, this magnificent heritage staircase located at Printemps Haussmann that responds to the rational lines of Art Deco It was born in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, between 1922 and 1924 under the direction of the architect Georges Wybo It was erected 60 years after the creation of the Department Store following the fires of the New Printemps Haussmann Stores in 1921 After a meticulous restoration, following a closure of nearly 40 years, it returns to an honorary role at the Printemps Haussmann, It is the only structure of the Printemps Haussmann in reinforced concrete. It is unique in the store and offers great lightness thanks to the succession of mirrors along the side walls.
The floating staircase: It is characterized by the absence of visible support points. The ramps are delimited by metalwork with geometric patterns running through the centre of the cage.
The P-shaped railing: This feature underlines Printemps' attachment to its identity and is part of a modern approach to showcasing its heritage
This stadium, designed by landscape architect Edmond Galoppin and municipal architect Gaston Bertrand, was inaugurated on July 19, 1914. It was upgraded later and named after Schaerbeek's famous football team, the Crossing. In 2012, it underwent a complete renovation to become a modernized sports complex and was inaugurated on December 2, 2012 as the Municipal Stadium of Schaerbeek.
