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.

When I first saw this building I saw nothing but a building across the street from the Art Museum. When I came out and return to my car is when I really saw the building. First I saw the smoke glass windows with the different colors and then I saw the design. The building makes me think of Wine Bottles, there are ten of them, then I saw the clouds in two of the window, what a great abstract.

The defensive structure that was already present when the town was founded by the Romans was integrated over time with towers and bastions. The Rocchetta (small castle) built by Egidio Albornoz in the 14th century is still visible, together with the Rocca (castle) of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta that was added in 1450.
The current structure of the monument is due to Giovanni della Rovere, Prince of Senigallia, and son-in-law of Federico III da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino. It was the Duke Federico who offered Giovanni the best architects of the time: Luciano Laurana and Baccio Pontelli. The works started in 1478 with the purpose of adapting the castle to the new defensive needs. In 1503 the Rocca was conquered by Cesare Borgia, the author of the famous massacre carried out in Senigallia and described by Niccolò Machiavelli.
Rocca Roveresca is a unique monument because it was not only a fortress, but also a noble palace, and the seat of an artillery academy founded by Guidubaldo della Rovere in 1533. After the extinction of the ducal dynasty, when the town returned under the domain of the Church in 1631, the castle was used as a papal prison and an orphanage.
Today it hosts art exhibitions and prestigious cultural events.
architect Piet Blom; 38 cube-shaped stilt houses and 13 business cubes at the Blaak near the Oude Haven.
Conçu par les architectes Pierre Bossan et Wilhelm Léo, l'édifice est construit entre 1855 et 1876, puis consacré le 7 juillet 1889 par Joseph-Alfred Foulon, archevêque de Lyon. Il est dédié « à Saint Maurice et ses compagnons », comme le rappelle une inscription en latin sur le fronton.
Le bâtiment a une forme d'ensemble trapue, rectangulaire de la façade jusqu'au transept, à peine saillant à l'extérieur, avec une abside semi-cylindrique de hauteur presque égale. Il est construit en pierres de taille régulièrement alignées selon un agencement original : sur toute la hauteur, un niveau intercalaire de pierres calcaires ordinaires (blanc-gris) souligne deux niveaux de « pierres de Couzon », célèbres pour leur teinte dorée, ici quelque peu atténuée par l'âge. Un rang de pierres saillantes et décorées entoure l'ensemble aux deux-tiers de la hauteur.
La couverture est réalisée en tuiles « romanes » (tuiles canal), ce qui correspond à la tradition locale pour les maisons individuelles mais est rare pour un édifice de ce type. Le toit principal à double pente couvre les trois nefs sans discontinuité.
L'ornementation est d'inspiration néoromane. Le portail est encadré de colonnes à chapiteaux et surmonté d'un arc de plein cintre encadrant un fronton sculpté. Il est entouré de deux niches à colonnettes contenant les statues de Saint Laurent et de Saint Vincent. Les fenêtres sont d'un module unique, étroit et surmonté d'un arc, simples pour l'abside mais doubles ou triples sur la façade et les flancs, en harmonie avec le clocher, dont le style roman est d'origine. Le haut de l'abside est orné de mâchicoulis décoratifs, prolongés en festons le long du reste du bâtiment.
Le Tornado est la pièce maîtresse spectaculaire du Fenix. Composée d'acier inoxydable et dotée de deux escaliers en bois majestueux, elle est la dernière-née des constructions architecturales de Rotterdam. Conçue par Ma Yansong du cabinet chinois MAD Architects, la Tornado est à la fois une œuvre d'art et une plateforme panoramique. Située au cœur du musée, elle relie le rez-de-chaussée, le premier étage et le belvédère sur le toit. Au-delà de sa fonction pratique, les escaliers symbolisent le thème central du Fenix : la migration.

Python Bridge (Official name: High Bridge (located next to the Low Bridge)). Amsterdam-Oost, The Netherlands.
Design (200): Adriaan Geuze (West 8 Architects).
Edgar M. Lazarus, Portland architect and member of the Vista House Association, was selected to design Vista House in 1915.
Vista House is an example of German “Art Nouveau” architecture. Native Italian craftsmen built retaining walls and bridges for the Columbia River Highway and laid the rockwork surrounding Vista House.
Vista House is approximately 44 feet in diameter and 55 feet high. The floors and stairs in the rotunda and the wainscoting in the lower level are Tokeen Alaskan marble. Most of the interior of the rotunda is light cream and pink Kasota limestone (marble), including the hand-carved drinking fountains. The inside of the dome and its supporting ribs were painted to simulate the marble and bronze originally planned for the structure. The exterior is faced with light gray sandstone.
