The Great Western Staircase is one of the Capitol’s most impressive features. Its stair well measures approximately 77 by 70 feet, and is 119 feet in height. Yet, it is also graceful and intricate, and a paradise of stone carving. Known in Albany as the Million Dollar Staircase, it was designed by H. H. Richardson, but transformed into an elaborately carved work of art by Isaac Perry. Governor Grover Cleveland called Perry out of retirement to become Commissioner of the Capitol in 1883. He was the last architect to work on the building and his involvement resulted in a dramatic increase in stone carving. At times he employed hundreds of stone carvers and cutters, paying them five dollars for a ten-hour day – twice the wage of a common laborer. The majority of the carvers were from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Iconic in Kuala Lumpur is this view of the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers. At the junction is the famous Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque built in 1909. Its architect was British Arthur Benison Hubback (1871-1948), who was much taken by Indo-Saracenic aesthetics, albeit in his own interpretations.
This entire area was until a few years ago quite a mess but it has now been very nicely revamped with the name River of Life.

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.

Le Grand-Théâtre de Bordeaux, commandé par le maréchal de Richelieu, gouverneur de Guyenne, et édifié par l'architecte Victor Louis, a été inauguré le 7 avril 1780 avec la représentation de l'Athalie de Jean Racine.
Classé monument historique en 1899 , réminiscence de l'Antiquité par son péristyle, l'ouvrage de 88 mètres sur 47 de style néo-classique, s'inscrit dans l'opulent urbanisme bordelais hérité du siècle des Lumières. Il abrite une salle de spectacle d'un millier de places, exemple parfait de théâtre à l'italienne.

Walter Schrempf's blueprint of the building was the winner of an architecture competition in the year 1963. Then, he invited Otto Herbert Hajek to reshape his draft artificially to overcome the comtemporary paradigmatic sobriety of the 1960's. The realisation of the building started in 1966, after Hajek had presented his version to the commission of the university.
The result of the architect’s and sculptor’s collaboration is a functional modern architecture, which opens up to the technical age and uses new materials, and is also a space sculpture at the same time. Naked concrete contrasts with a vivid coloration through yellow, red and blue surfaces. Geometric elements, which are arranged like a box, determine the spatial effect. The interior is divided by plastic concrete elements in various large levels and units.
The building has been built as a "Student House" in which all services for the students are included: dining hall, administration for the students services like financial support, recreational facility, theatre hall, café, event room. All these functions are still existing today.
The building is a historical monument.

The Lafayette Apartments is a 62-unit building completed in 1920 that sits on the northwest corner of Washington and McLean streets, just a few blocks east of downtown Bloomington. The building is the design of architect A. T. Simmons, probably best known for his more than 71 Carnegie libraries in Illinois and a dozen other states, along with numerous courthouses, schools, churches and other public buildings. Simmons also designed most of the houses in the Cedar Crest Historic District of Normal, Illinois, the other half of the twin municipalities of Bloomington and Normal.
Constructed at a cost of $250,000, the building is a mix of architectural styles. The limestone columns and carved details, as well as the rooftop urns, are French Renaissance-inspired, while other elements, such as the inclusion of a sunroom in each apartment, is common to Amercan Arts and Crafts design.
Advertised during construction in 1919 as being modern and fireproof, each apartment included an icebox connected to a centralized refrigeration unit in the basement. There also was a centralized vacuum cleaner system.
On the roof of the building is an apartment, and atop the rooftop apartment is an observation tower. The roof apartment was once planned as a solarium or winter garden, and legend holds that it served as a Prohibition-era party house.
The Lafayette Apartments building underwent major renovations in the 1990s, and looks much like it did back in 1920.
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 home to State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and Beer Nuts. Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. 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 source of this information comes from a July 29, 2007 article in the Pantagraph newspaper written by Bill Kemp, archivist/librarian for the McLean County Museum of History.

The White Rose (De Witte Roos) is a 13 story social housing project in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, designed by 25H Architects. Its organic shapes look different from all angles and is beautiful to its tiniest details. It never ceases to intrigue and inspire. I photographed its four corners and brought them together in this composition as a tribute to the design of this sparkling jewel of Dutch architecture.
The United States Post Office and Courthouse, also once known as the Federal Building, is located at 200 N. 8th Street in Quincy. Completed in 1887, the post office occupied the first floor of the building, with the Federal Courtroom on the second floor.
Quincy is a city of exceptional architectural variety and quality. Styles ranging from Greek Revival to designs influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright can be seen. Somewhat unusual in style for Illinois at the time is this French Renaissance Revival style post office building which features a limestone exterior, arched entrances, and an ornate roof with pointed gables and dormers. Prepared in Washington by the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Mifflin E. Bell (1846-1904), its modified early French Renaissance design is reminiscent of the chateaux of the Loire Valley. In fact, Bell's inspiration for the structure came from the William K. Vanderbilt House in New York City, designed by Richard Morris Hunt.
While the structure has not been used as a federal courthouse since the late 1970s, it continues in use as a post office station. In 1996, the post office was renamed the Orville H. Browning Station. Browning (1806-1881), a resident of Quincy, was a distinguished attorney, state legislator, congressman, United States Senator, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. He also served as Secretary of the Interior under President Andrew Johnson.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
Built in 1947, the Sabine Theatre is most likely the 1947 project for the Southern Amusement Company that is found in this list of drawings by Lake Charles, Louisiana, architect John M. Gabriel. It was acquired by the town of Many in the mid-1990’s and is now used for live theatre by the Sabine Parish Players, as well as musical performances, occasional movies, and other community events. It was also featured in the “downtown scenes” in the movie The Man in The Moon.

Architecte : Jacques-Germain SOUFFLOT ( 1761)
Edifié depuis le moyen âge par une progression architecturale, ce lieu a une fonction d'hôpital. François RABELAIS y a été nommé (1532) médecin avec une vingtaine de religieuses. Soufflot réalise le bâtiment actuel qui en 2015 devient un hotel de luxe, une offre de bureaux et commerces ainsi qu'une cité de la gastronomie.
Ages by an architectural progression, this place has a hospital function. François RABELAIS was appointed (1532) doctor there with around twenty nuns. Soufflot is building the current building which in 2015 became a luxury hotel, an office and retail offering as well as a city of gastronomy.
The Scottish architect John Baird was responsible for the design. At that time, he ran a joint architectural office with Alexander Thomson. After the partnership broke up in 1856, Thomson continued the construction which had begun the previous year. On March 22, 1857, the church was opened. The total cost was about £8000.[2]
Caledonia Road Church as built.
In 1963 the church use of Caledonian Road Church ended and the city of Glasgow took over the building. In October 1965, the church burned down after arson and was subsequently partially demolished. Since the 1990s, there have been various plans for the restoration and further use of the building, but these have not been implemented, and only necessary work to stabilise the building was carried out. The risk to the ruin is classified as high.[3]

La station de métro Villejuif–Gustave Roussy, inaugurée le 18 janvier 2025, a été conçue par l'architecte Dominique Perrault, renommé pour des projets tels que la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Située à Villejuif, cette station sert de point de connexion entre la ligne 14 récemment prolongée et la future ligne 15 Sud du Grand Paris Express.
L'architecture de la station se distingue par son toit en verre strié, offrant une luminosité naturelle aux espaces souterrains. Dominique Perrault a collaboré avec l'artiste chilien Iván Navarro, connu pour ses sculptures lumineuses, intégrant des œuvres d'art qui enrichissent l'expérience des voyageurs. Conçue pour accueillir jusqu'à 100 000 passagers quotidiens, la station est équipée de 32 escalators et 16 ascenseurs, garantissant une accessibilité optimale pour tous les usagers.
The Hôtel Biron is an hôtel particulier in the rue de Varenne, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, that was built from 1727 to 1732 to the designs of the architect Jean Aubert. Since 1919 it has housed the Musée Auguste Rodin.
The Musée d'Orsay is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900. The museum contains the largest collection of impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world, by painters such as Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
The building was originally the Gare d'Orsay, a railway station constructed for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans and finished in time for the 1900 Exposition Universelle to the design of three architects: Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux. The building was repurposed by architects Pierre Colboc, Renaud Bardon, and Jean-Paul Philippon and the museum debuted in December 1986.
