Ulric Ellerhusen sculpted the Oregon Pioneer that rests atop the capitol dome's exterior.
Construction of the newest building began on December 4, 1936.[12] The third state capitol was completed in 1938 and is the fourth-newest capitol in the United States. The capitol was dedicated on October 1, 1938, with speeches from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Leslie M. Scott, Robert W. Sawyer, and Oregon Governor Charles Henry Martin. Chosen from 123 entries in a countrywide competition, the design of the new building deviated from the normal design of state capitol buildings. The design was labeled a combination of Egyptian simplicity and Greek refinement.[Overall it is Art Deco in style, and is one of only three state capitols in the United States constructed in that architectural style.
In April 2002, the building became the first state capitol in the United States to produce solar power through the use of 60 photovoltaic panels generating 7.8 kilowatt.

The Sporthallen in Linköping, Sweden.
"When Linköping was to get a new sports hall, architect Hans Westman designed a modernist building with clean lines, without intrusive decorations and in a form that would follow the function of the house. The most distinctive feature is perhaps the two beautifully arched arches that span the entire building and that support the hall's voluminous ceiling. On October 6, 1956, the sports hall was inaugurated by the Swedish Sports Confederation's vice-chairman Bo Eklund. The program included music by I4's music choir, singing by the Workers' Choir, a fencing demonstration and a performance by the Idla girls."
Our peaceful, Grade 1 registered garden is unlike any other with its romantic design and architecture, combining formality with nature and magnificent rural views across an unspoilt valley, whilst beautifully framed architectural gems and antiquities punctuate your visit throughout. Set on the last hill of the Cotswolds, within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we hope that all who visit leave here feeling relaxed and inspired.
From its origins in the wool industry, through Georgian gentrification, then Harold Peto’s Edwardian structures, and right up to the present period, the passion of Iford’s inhabitants and its history are inextricably bound up in the beautiful garden’s unique design.
Today, Iford’s story continues to be written in this secluded corner of ‘Olde England’ with a new generation of owners, William and Marianne Cartwright-Hignett, who are taking the garden forward. Their appointment of Troy Scott Smith as Head Gardener (previously Head Gardener at Sissinghurst, Bodnant and The Courts) ensures there is much of horticultural interest throughout the season, as well as architectural and design. The gardens will be expanded yet further over the coming years, whilst refreshing the planting and preserving the heritage within the main garden itself. There will therefore be something new to discover on every visit.
The structural design seen today was largely created by Harold Peto, who lived at Iford from 1899-1933. A man of exquisite taste, with a talent for placing objects sympathetically to their surroundings, he designed gardens for royalty and aristocracy around the world. Trained as an architect, working in partnership with Sir Ernest George, Harold Peto ‘discovered’ a real passion for plants when undertaking work at Gravetye Manor, then home to ‘the father of gardening’ William Robinson.
Learning much about gardening directly from Robinson, Peto subsequently travelled the world, including Japan, Canada, America, Egypt and across Europe, learning about garden design and bringing back plants from all over the world. His skill for garden design, planting and architecture meant that he was in demand, especially on the Cap Ferrat in France where many of the world’s most expensive houses are today. Peto was the architect for several of those villas and gardens, to the extent that the Cap Ferrat was nicknamed ‘Peto Point’ in Edwardian times. Working for royalty, aristocracy and tycoons, his main patrons were the then Countess of Warwick and Isabella Stewart-Gardner.
Influenced mainly by his love of Roman, Italian and Japanese design, he was a promoter of the renaissance period and had a strong influence on the Arts and Crafts period. Striking the balance between formal and informal gardening, between soft planting and hard structure, Harold Peto’s work was appreciated in writings by Gertrude Jeykll and William Robinson.
During the past 55 years, today’s owners, the Cartwright-Hignett family, have lovingly restored the garden (once thought 'lost' after WW2) and continued to develop it, saving the buildings therein, finishing the Oriental Garden area designed by John Hignett and redesigning areas of the garden as they age, 100 years after Peto’s original plantings

Architect: Santiago Calatrava
Bridge over Trinity River - under construction (scheduled to be open sometime 2011)
Dallas, Texas
"Calatrava got the commission in 1999, and in 2003 unveiled his final design, a steel and concrete span with a 300 foot parabolic arch in the center, costing an estimated $75 million. He described the bridge as a rare opportunity for Dallas to rediscover its river and to connect the developed and undeveloped parts of the city, specifically downtown and west Dallas. " ~ from article by David Dillon, R.I.P.

The author of the shelter is architect Jan Gałecki. The station is inspired by the architecture of the Art Nouveau, which is a historic element of the city. The shed above the four platforms of the stop is characterized by soaring white pillars. The roof, made of transparent EFTE membrane, imitates the stained glass technique in blue, yellow, purple and red, associated with the colors of the new Łódź logo. The side walls are made of plastic and a membrane. For safety reasons, the use of glass was abandoned. Before the material produced in Japan with a total area of 3000 square meters reached Lodz, it was colored in Italy - it is the world's largest roof of the building made in this technology
