What was he thinking, what was the city thinking?
The building is hugely intimidating with proportions of a city larger than the worlds capital and for robots with chromed skulls. A building for post-humans?

the architect of what it's wondered
roaming the playing fields
and stamping the corns
fighting for the urban corner
spreading the disease of the metropolis
overpoulated armies of flats and apartments soon to rise immune to non profit vaccinations
echoing the high rise blocks of an old decaying past
why are they building just round this corner
on a kids playground I ask
there seems such an abundance of better space
yet the architect decides and who am I to question his madness

I lived opposite this remarkable building for 6 years since 2007. Stupidly, it did not cross my mind to visit it and I only rarely photographed some of its outside views. The building boasts 34000 m2 (of which 15400 m2 are actually useable). Although "remarkable" (namely by its sheer size), I cannot pretend that I like it and this probably explains my lack of interest for it over these years. On the few occasions that it attracted me to photograph it, it was due to its interesting shadows and reflections of its white walls on the wet ground below.

The Toronto Eaton Centre is a shopping mall and office complex located in the heart of downtown Toronto. It was named after the Eaton's department store chain that once anchored it, but is now owned and operated by Cadillac Fairview.
The Toronto Eaton Centre is North America’s busiest mall, and attracts the most visitors of any of the city's tourist attractions. With nearly 49 million visitors in 2015 alone, the centre sees more annual visitors than Disneyland and Walt Disney World combined, the Las Vegas Strip, either of the two busiest malls in the United States (Mall of America and Ala Moana Center), or Central Park in New York City.

My take on architect Jean Nouvel’s “100” residential building on Eleventh Avenue in New York. The slightly different vertical angles of the windows create a wonderful variety of hues. Together with its curved surface the building altogether reminds of a sparkling river. A genuine jewel to the New York skyline.
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.

tingbjerg school, copenhagen.
architect: steen eiler rasmussen, 1964-1970
the ongoing vandalism in copenhagen and other Danish towns at the hands of groups of young muslims was provoked by the re-publication in all major Danish newspapers of the infamous jyllandsposten cartoons. every night sees new fires, yet none of them as serious as the press make them appear.
I had to go see the remains of last night's biggest fire, steen eiler rasmussen's tingbjerg school, for myself. at first, the newspaper web sites reported that half the school had burnt down. in fact, only a few rooms were destroyed. the photo shows the full extent of the damage, approximately 300 square meters according to the copenhagen fire department.
the re-publication of the cartoons - which could appear to some as the press producing their own news - was in turn provoked by the announcement from the Danish secret service that they had thwarted the assassination of one of the cartoonists.
apparently, the secret service intervened so early in the planning of the murder that very little evidence was secured. new draconian anti-terror laws mean that the accused men will not be brought to trial in denmark but instead simply extradited to their country of origin, in this case a north african nation with - according to amnesty international - a history of using torture.
the murder plans, quite correctly classified by the authorities as terrorism, are part of an international agenda that we have very little influence on in denmark, I believe, cartoons or no cartoons. but the fact that kids across the country might think arson the best way to express their beliefs and be heard is a real blow to the welfare state. denmark has never been richer or known less unemployment than today, yet here is a large group, entirely marginalized, whose actions seem rooted in the deepest hopelessness.
something rotten indeed.

Lorsque le contrat de donation entre Peter et Irene Ludwig et la ville de Cologne fut signé en 1976, le musée Wallraf-Richartz était déjà devenu trop petit pour présenter de manière appropriée toutes les œuvres d'art qui lui étaient confiées. Le conseil municipal et l'administration ont donc décidé de faire construire un nouveau bâtiment, le Musée Ludwig, pour abriter conjointement les collections d'art du XXe siècle des deux musées.
L'emplacement choisi pour le nouveau « double musée » était une zone située entre le chœur est de la cathédrale et le Rhin. Le site était délimité au nord par les voies ferrées et à l'ouest par le Römisch- Germanisches Museum (Musée romano-germanique) et la cathédrale. Le projet offrait l'occasion d'envisager à nouveau de relier la région au Rhin, longtemps isolée par une route nationale et une ligne ferroviaire très fréquentées, puisque le trafic ferroviaire à cet endroit devait être interrompu en 1978. Le trafic automobile devait également passer par le Rhin. Tunnel des Banques, achevé en 1982. Le centre-ville historique a ainsi pu à nouveau s'ouvrir sur le Rhin.
Une superficie de 260 000 mètres cubes a été aménagée pour la structure, soit un volume correspondant à celui de la cathédrale de Cologne. Si cet immense volume évite de paraître intimidant ou oppressant, c’est avant tout grâce aux éléments du complexe superbement agencés et élégamment combinés. Cela est évident dans les toits en appentis recouverts de zinc, qui contribuent de manière significative à l’apparence distinctive du bâtiment dans le paysage urbain. Les façades sont revêtues de briques dont les rangées verticales animent l’extérieur du bâtiment par leur modeste structure ornementale. Contribuant également à éviter une apparence intimidante, les architectes ont situé sous terre les parties du complexe qui ne nécessitent pas de lumière naturelle. Il s'agit notamment de la salle de concert de la Philharmonie ainsi que des espaces techniques et des parkings.
Initialement construit pour deux musées, le bâtiment abrite désormais uniquement le Musée Ludwig. Ses propriétés n’ont cessé de s’étendre, notamment grâce au mécénat soutenu des Ludwig. En 1994, le couple fait également don de son importante collection Picasso au musée. La liaison avec le Musée Wallraf-Richartz a été dissoute et en 2001 l'institution, rebaptisée Musée Wallraf-Richartz Fondation Corboud, a ouvert ses portes dans un nouveau bâtiment qui lui est propre. Conçu par Oswald Mathias Ungers, il est situé entre l'hôtel de ville et la salle des fêtes de Gürzenich.

When the donation contract between Peter and Irene Ludwig and the city of Cologne was signed in 1976, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum had already become too small to adequately present all the works of art entrusted to it. The municipal council and the administration therefore decided to build a new building, the Ludwig Museum, to jointly house the 20th century art collections of the two museums.
The location chosen for the new "double museum" was an area between the east choir of the cathedral and the Rhine. The site was bounded to the north by the railway lines and to the west by the Römisch-Germanisches Museum (Roman-Germanic Museum) and the cathedral. The project offered the opportunity to once again consider connecting the region to the Rhine, long isolated by a busy national road and railway line, since rail traffic there was to be discontinued in 1978. Automobile traffic was also to pass by the Rhine. Bank Tunnel, completed in 1982. The historic city center was thus able to open up onto the Rhine again.
An area of 260,000 cubic meters was provided for the structure, a volume corresponding to that of Cologne Cathedral. If this immense volume avoids appearing intimidating or oppressive, it is above all thanks to the superbly arranged and elegantly combined elements of the complex. This is evident in the zinc-clad shed roofs, which contribute significantly to the building's distinctive appearance in the urban landscape. The facades are clad in bricks, the vertical rows of which enliven the exterior of the building with their modest ornamental structure. Also helping to avoid an intimidating appearance, the architects located underground those parts of the complex that do not require natural light. These include the Philharmonie concert hall as well as technical spaces and car parks.
Originally built for two museums, the building now houses only the Ludwig Museum. Its properties continued to expand, notably thanks to the sustained patronage of the Ludwigs. In 1994, the couple also donated their important Picasso collection to the museum. The connection with the Wallraf-Richartz Museum was dissolved and in 2001 the institution, renamed the Wallraf-Richartz Museum Corboud Foundation, opened its doors in a new building of its own. Designed by Oswald Mathias Ungers, it is located between the town hall and the Gürzenich village hall.
