christians kirke (formerly frederiks tydske kirke), christianshavn, copenhagen 1754-1759.
architect: nicolai eigtved (1701-1754). completed by georg david anthon (1714-1781).
I am finding it a little difficult to let go of hans christian hansen and thought I'd take you to a church hansen himself mentioned as an inspiration for his work on tagensbo. christians kirke was the final building by nicolai eigtved, one of the finest architects in copenhagen history - a man who came from nothing, the orphaned son of a serf, to become architect to the crown, a brilliant one at that, even organising the new royal academy of art shortly before his death.
in terms of style eigtved's buildings are best described as tempered, northern rococo, though I suspect a lack of funds was occasionally to blame for their simplicity. in christians kirke, built for the german community, that was certainly the case, but its plain brick walls hide one of the city's more haunting interiors.
this chilly space, in colours so restrained you can barely determine if a photo is black and white, was built according to the protestant church type of the querkirche, which had the congregation facing their preacher across the short side of its rectangular plan - this to break down traditional ecclesiastical hierarchies and to support a liturgy in which the devout were equal to anyone but the example set by the son. significantly, outside hierarchies were still respected as seen in the royal box on axis with the altar.
the grey, wooden boxes, stacked in three galleries along three sides of the church, were sold to wealthy local families to fund construction. they add a sense of the theatre, but also - and, I believe, of equal importance - they make an urban square of the interior, oddly out of scale, but all the more moving for its strangeness.
the pietists, the protestant fundamentalists of the day whose values are reflected in eigtved's ascetic interior, could have gone much further, many of them having lost faith in the role of the church altogether, reformed or not. their resistance to institutions was such that the state deemed it necessary to ban private religious gatherings only a decade before christians kirke was built, the fear of fundies being nothing new.
yet, for a Dane these particular fundies are our parents, our ancestors. they were part of that truth-seeking aspect of christianity which had to question any authority that might stand in the way of truth and the promise of salvation. as nietzsche has taught us, it was this strain of thought which led christianity, after 2000 years, to finally face the godhead itself and for many to dismiss it. our two churches, christians kirke by eigtved and hans christian hansen's tagensbo kirke, are part of this critical tradition in christianity and contain in their very layout and design both the fanaticism of our past and clues to our current godlessness.
hansen took much from eigtved's church - the building type, of course, the intensity of the relationship between preacher and laity, the three floors, the economy of means - and added a measured warmth and an intimacy, I would call almost strict, one you cannot easily turn away from.
no-one would challenge the importance of eigtved's church, but the fact that one of our present architects to the crown has called its 20th century offspring, hans christian hansen's tagensbo church, ordinary and without religious solemnity, advising that a deconsecration would leave nothing worth protecting, still strikes me as wrong. these spaces are, on the contrary, our most profoundly religious, and what they offer by example is to make the play of power and the sentimentality of our more conventional churches plainly and painfully obvious.
Groundbreaking for Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1 occurred in 1971, and the building was completed in 1973. The campus itself first opened in 1970, with classes initially held in downtown storefronts while its permanent facility was being constructed.
Hilario Candela was the architect of Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1. As a Cuban-born American architect, he designed key Brutalist-style buildings for several of the college's campuses, including Wolfson.
Candela was a key member of the architectural firm Pancoast, Ferendino, Grafton & Skeels, which designed the initial buildings for the North and Kendall campuses in the 1960s.
His signature "tropical Brutalist" style, with its use of raw concrete, is a defining feature of the Wolfson Campus architecture.
In addition to his work for Miami-Dade College, Candela is also known for designing the iconic Miami Marine Stadium.
Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1 was designed in the Brutalist style, specifically a regional variant referred to as "tropical Brutalism".
Elements of this architectural style as seen in the Wolfson Campus include:
Raw concrete: The buildings prominently feature exposed concrete, emphasizing the material's raw, unadorned nature.
Massive, geometric forms: Brutalist buildings are known for their blocky and monolithic appearance. Architect Hilario Candela, who designed the Wolfson Campus, referred to his vision as "a small city of interconnected geometric masses".
Function over form: In keeping with Brutalist ethos, the building's design emphasizes its function as a modern educational institution.
Adaptation to the Miami climate: In this "tropical Brutalist" interpretation, the buildings use covered walkways and strategically placed open spaces to provide constant shade and cover from the rain.

Completed in 1895. Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), described by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time".
Rebuilt (after a fire) in 1923.
By locating a similar grouping of buildings in Seattle in both color and materials, I find this lends itself to an artistic approach. Using a vertical perspective, you can feel the architecture soaring high into the sky.

The Palau de la Música Catalana (English: Palace of Catalan Music) is a concert hall in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed in the Catalan modernista style by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, it was built between 1905 and 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a choral society founded in 1891 that was a leading force in the Catalan cultural movement that came to be known as the Renaixença (Catalan Rebirth). It was inaugurated on 9 February 1908.
Thorncrown Chapel was designed by world renowned architect E. Fay Jones. Fay was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in 1921. He studied at the University of Arkansas, Rice University, the University of Oklahoma, and finally under his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright at the Taliesin Fellowship.
Jones’ awards include the 1981 American Institute of Architecture National Honor Award for Thorncrown Chapel and the AIA Gold Medal (1990). Thorncrown was listed fourth on the AIA’s top ten buildings of the 20th century. When alive, Mr. Jones was recognized as one of the top ten living architects of the 20th century.
The inspiration for Thorncrown Chapel was Sainte Chappelle, Paris’ light filled gothic chapel. Fay affectionately labeled Thorncrown’s style as “Ozark Gothic.” The chapel rises 48 feet into the sky with over 6,000 square feet of glass and 425 windows. Its dimensions are 24 feet by 60 feet. The chapel is made with all organic materials to fit its natural setting. The only steel in the structure forms a diamond shaped pattern in its wooden trusses. The building has a native flagstone floor surrounded with a rock wall which gives the feeling that the chapel is part of its Ozark hillside.
In order to preserve Thorncrown’s natural setting, Fay decided that no structural element could be larger than what two men could carry through the woods. The building materials are primarily pressure treated pine 2x4s, 2x6s, and 2x12s. The larger elements of the building such as the trusses were assembled on the floor and raised into place.

LEGO recreation of Architect Arthur Erickson's Eppich House 2 in West Vancouver B.C.
This model was created for my 2023 Bricktacular West Coast Modern Show that was hosted by the West Vancouver Art Museum.
The Eppich House 2 was built for Hugo and Brigitte Eppich in the late 1980's. It's unique appearance is due to the steel beams that the Eppich's Ebco Industries fabricated for Arthur's original design.
The LEGO model has two removable floor sections to reveal the 1st and 2nd floors. The design relies on the LEGO arch 1x6x3 1/3 Curved Top to achieve the streamlined shaping of the home.
This model is now in possession of the home owners.

The atrium of the Henning Larsen Architects / Olafur Eliasson designed Harpa Concert Hall is full of great angles. I would've liked longer to explore it but on this trip I only had one full day in Reykjavik so couldn't hang around too long.
You can see more of my Iceland photos here : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/sets/72157650886963062
From Wikipedia : "Harpa is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The opening concert was held on May 4, 2011.
Harpa was designed by the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects in co-operation with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. The structure consists of a steel framework clad with geometric shaped glass panels of different colours. The building was originally part of a redevelopment of the Austurhöfn area dubbed World Trade Center Reykjavík, which was partially abandoned when the financial crisis took hold. The development was intended to include a 400-room hotel, luxury apartments, retail units, restaurants, a car park and the new headquarters of Icelandic bank Landsbanki.
The completion of the structure was uncertain until the government decided in 2008 to fully fund the rest of the construction costs for the half-built concert hall. For several years it was the only construction project in existence in Iceland. The building was given its name on the Day of Icelandic Music on 11 December 2009, prior to which it was called The Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre (Icelandic: Tónlistar- og ráðstefnuhúsið í Reykjavík). The building is the first purpose-built concert hall in Reykjavík. It houses the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and the offices of The Icelandic Opera."

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 :)

From Wikipedia:
Elsie Stephen Meighen - born January 22, 1872, Perth, Ontario - and Robert Wilson Reford - born in 1867, Montreal - got married on June 12, 1894.
Elsie Reford was a pioneer of Canadian horticulture, creating one of the largest private gardens in Canada on her estate, Estevan Lodge in eastern Québec. Located in Grand-Métis on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, her gardens have been open to the public since 1962 and operate under the name Les Jardins de Métis and Reford Gardens.
Born January 22, 1872 at Perth, Ontario, Elsie Reford was the eldest of three children born to Robert Meighen and Elsie Stephen. Coming from modest backgrounds themselves, Elsie’s parents ensured that their children received a good education. After being educated in Montreal, she was sent to finishing school in Dresden and Paris, returning to Montreal fluent in both German and French, and ready to take her place in society.
She married Robert Wilson Reford on June 12, 1894. She gave birth to two sons, Bruce in 1895 and Eric in 1900. Robert and Elsie Reford were, by many accounts, an ideal couple. In 1902, they built a house on Drummond Street in Montreal. They both loved the outdoors and they spend several weeks a year in a log cabin they built at Lac Caribou, south of Rimouski. In the autumn they hunted for caribou, deer, and ducks. They returned in winter to ski and snowshoe. Elsie Reford also liked to ride. She had learned as a girl and spent many hours riding on the slopes of Mount Royal. And of course, there was salmon-fishing – a sport at which she excelled.
In her day, she was known for her civic, social, and political activism. She was engaged in philanthropic activities, particularly for the Montreal Maternity Hospital and she was also the moving force behind the creation of the Women’s Canadian Club of Montreal, the first women club in Canada. She believed it important that the women become involved in debates over the great issues of the day, « something beyond the local gossip of the hour ». Her acquaintance with Lord Grey, the Governor-General of Canada from 1904 to 1911, led to her involvement in organizing, in 1908, Québec City’s tercentennial celebrations. The event was one of many to which she devoted herself in building bridges with French-Canadian community.
During the First World War, she joined her two sons in England and did volunteer work at the War Office, translating documents from German into English. After the war, she was active in the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Montreal Council of Social Agencies, and the National Association of Conservative Women.
In 1925 at the age of 53 years, Elsie Reford was operated for appendicitis and during her convalescence, her doctor counselled against fishing, fearing that she did not have the strength to return to the river.”Why not take up gardening?” he said, thinking this a more suitable pastime for a convalescent woman of a certain age. That is why she began laying out the gardens and supervising their construction. The gardens would take ten years to build, and would extend over more than twenty acres.
Elsie Reford had to overcome many difficulties in bringing her garden to life. First among them were the allergies that sometimes left her bedridden for days on end. The second obstacle was the property itself. Estevan was first and foremost a fishing lodge. The site was chosen because of its proximity to a salmon river and its dramatic views – not for the quality of the soil.
To counter-act nature’s deficiencies, she created soil for each of the plants she had selected, bringing peat and sand from nearby farms. This exchange was fortuitous to the local farmers, suffering through the Great Depression. Then, as now, the gardens provided much-needed work to an area with high unemployment. Elsie Reford’s genius as a gardener was born of the knowledge she developed of the needs of plants. Over the course of her long life, she became an expert plantsman. By the end of her life, Elsie Reford was able to counsel other gardeners, writing in the journals of the Royal Horticultural Society and the North American Lily Society. Elsie Reford was not a landscape architect and had no training of any kind as a garden designer. While she collected and appreciated art, she claimed no talents as an artist.
Elsie Stephen Reford died at her Drummond Street home on November 8, 1967 in her ninety-sixth year.
In 1995, the Reford Gardens ("Jardins de Métis") in Grand-Métis were designated a National Historic Site of Canada, as being an excellent Canadian example of the English-inspired garden.(Wikipedia)

LES JARDINS DE MÉTIS
Créés par Elsie Reford de 1926 à 1958, ces jardins témoignent de façon remarquable de l’art paysager à l’anglaise. Disposés dans un cadre naturel, un ensemble de jardins exhibent fleurs vivaces, arbres et arbustes. Le jardin des pommetiers, les rocailles et l’Allée royale évoquent l’œuvre de cette dame passionnée d’horticulture. Agrémenté d’un ruisseau et de sentiers sinueux, ce site jouit d’un microclimat favorable à la croissance d’espèces uniques au Canada. Les pavots bleus et les lis, privilégiés par Mme Reford, y fleurissent toujours et contribuent , avec d’autres plantes exotiques et indigènes, à l’harmonie de ces lieux.
Created by Elsie Reford between 1926 and 1958, these gardens are an inspired example of the English art of the garden. Woven into a natural setting, a series of gardens display perennials, trees and shrubs. A crab-apple orchard, a rock garden, and the Long Walk are also the legacy of this dedicated horticulturist. A microclimate favours the growth of species found nowhere else in Canada, while the stream and winding paths add to the charm. Elsie Reford’s beloved blue poppies and lilies still bloom and contribute, with other exotic and indigenous plants, to the harmony of the site.

Architecture & landscape: C.F. Møller Architects, 2015
Villa U is a two-storey single family home near Aarhus located in beautiful surroundings with scenic views. The house, which takes full advantage of the view and its proximity to nature on three sides, is organised around a tall double-height central space with sky-lights, accompanied by a sculptural staircase and brick fireplace offering ample space to exhibit works of art. This room is the heart of the house, tying together every room with open views spanning both floors of the home.
The ground floor and upper floor are designed as mirrored parallelograms, creating a vast array of open and covered terraces and niches on both levels, framed by a facade of dark patinated zinc with a warm-toned inner lining of hardwood mouldings.
The house is equipped for wheelchair use with a special residential elevator. The ground floor has a living room, kitchen and bedrooms with direct access to cast terraces in the surrounding landscape, as well as a foyer and utility room in extension of the integrated carport. The upper floor features a living room with terraces facing both east and west, as well as a large bedroom with its own bathroom, walk-in closet and morning terrace. The carport roof is home to a green roof garden.
Large tile floors, pigmented oak floors, handmade kitchen units and custom-fired brick provide a contrasting balance with the house’s light tones, forming textural surfaces that accentuate the ever-changing light. The home’s proximity to green surroundings is enhanced by the generous, floor-to-ceiling glass walls and flowing transitions between indoors and out.

(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.

Bruges, Belgium - Concert Hall by Robbrecht & Daem Architects
Being the cultural capital of Europe in 2002 was an ideal opportunity for Bruges to proof that it evolves in time despite its historical, preserved character. With this glorious year in sight, some architectural fireworks were realised in the centre. Paul Robbrecht and Hilde Daem were commissioned for the construction of the concert hall, after winning a design competition in 1999. The design criteria related to openness and adventure, innovation and a modern image but also to safety and functionality. The result is a sometimes surprising and creative ode to Bruges and the city's dreams. The building has an overall size of 120 metres by 50 metres. An eye-catching feature is the so-called 'Lantern Tower', which is slightly separate from the main volume and is 28 metres and eight storeys high and overlooks the Zand. In this tower is a chamber music hall with seats for 300.

Tower 23 Hotel
Architect: Graham Downes (2005)
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Stopped by this hotel again tonight on the way home (after taking a quick phone cam shot of it the other night). The guy in the stairwell happened to be walking by on the sidewalk out front, so I asked him to go inside and stand there for me for a second. (I figured everyone was getting tired of seeing me).
