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.

This magnificent 20,000-square-foot mansion was built in 1899-1901 for self-made millionaire and Senator George Taylor Fulford I (1852-1905) and his family. The house was designed by noted American architect Albert W. Fuller, with landscaping design by the prestigious Olmsted Brothers firm.
Fulford Place and its collection were donated to the Ontario Heritage Trust by the Fulford family in 1991. Many items from the family’s collection are exhibited in the house just as they were over 100 years ago. The Ontario Heritage Trust’s extensive restoration of Fulford Place brings to life the glamorous lifestyle of the early 20th century’s new aristocracy: the business tycoon

The Roman district of Garbatella was designed in 1920 by famous architects and intended for the working class of the time. The style is the "Roman late baroque", with sinuous shapes that give life to neo-medieval buildings.
the whole district, with the fountains, the buildings, the balconies, the villas, the stuccoes and the green spaces, recalls this concept of the Garden City and can be considered a large open-air monument as well as an example of humanistic architecture

10 Hudson Yards NYC - 2016 - Architect: Kohn Pederson Fox
895-foot, 52-story futurist office building completed in 2016. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, it was the first tower in the Hudson Yards complex to have been completed, because it is the only Hudson Yards tower not on the artificial platform over the tracks of the West Side Yards.
The prism-shaped building is clad mostly in silver glass, with a base of glass, silver metal paneling, and grey granite. The southern facade cantilevers over the 30th Street spur of the High Line, where one of the building's entrances is located. The tower bridges over the elevated park to create a dramatic 60-foot public passageway extending through the structure. Above this rises a dramatic 15-story atrium incorporated into the tower, spanning Coach's floors. The glass southern wall of the atrium serves as a visual anchor for the High Line.
10 Hudson Yards is connected to its taller sister tower, 30 Hudson Yards, by a glass enclosed, 7-story retail podium, home to The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards. At the east end of 10 Hudson Yard's south facade, four enormous, granite-clad columns shaped at various angles support the cantilever over the High Line. At the west end, another structural element, this one with the glass cladding extending all the way down the street level, supports the opposite end of the tower, and together these frame the glass atrium. Five more granite columns, narrowing at their bases, form the east facade, with glass infill between them that narrows toward the top, in opposition to the stone of the piers. Above the High Line, the southeast-facing facet of the tower forms a wedge that narrows as it rises, angling slightly outwards before abruptly turning vertical as a narrow strip at the upper floors. The rest of the east and south facades have a serrated look, with the glass at each floor angling outward and overlapping the next floor.
The west facade sloped inward at the upper floors, giving the tower a leaning effect. The roof forms a slanted wedge, with two opposing triangles tilting down in opposite directions.
Firstly, good wishes to all my Canadian contacts; hope you enjoy Canada Day. I remember my visits to Canada very well. In the times we live in Canada is a beacon of light and decency .
This was taken early on our first morning in Stockholm. We got there very late the previous evening, so no opportunity to see anything . We were staying just across a canal from Stockholms Stadshuset (Town Hall ), so we saw it frequently. It’s impressive from the outside, particularly its tower, but the interior is extraordinary. It stands on the eastern tip of Kungsholmen Island, next to Riddarfjärden's northern shore and facing the islands of Riddarholmen and Södermalm. It houses offices and conference rooms as well as ceremonial halls. It is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet and is one of Stockholm's major tourist attractions. It is not an old building but was built in 1911. Ragnar Östberg was the architect.
This photo, like many others I took, includes water and a bridge, which is not surprising. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. The islands are connected by 58 separate bridges and metro tunnels.

The Caldwell County jail was built in 1908-1909. Designed by architect T. S. Hodges, this castellated brick structure served as the county's jail until 1982. Hodges is also known for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart shown previously in this short series.
The jailer's quarters occupy the ground floor, over a storage area in the basement. The upper floor contain fifteen cells of concrete and steel, with one cell rising from the center of the building. Gallows are said to have been removed from this jail in the 1930s.
Now a museum, the jail also hosts exhibits relating to the history of Caldwell County and the State of Texas. The former jail is not a Texas Historic Landmark.
Lockhart is the seat of Caldwell County, and is located 30 miles (48 km) south of Austin. The estimated population of Lockhart in 2019 was 14,133. Known as the Barbecue Capital of Texas, Lockhart also has played host to many film sets. The 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape were filmed partially in Lockhart, including the historic courthouse and the town square.

The cathedral was erected in 1795-1801 in the classic spirit by the project of the Moscow architect E. S. Nazarov and the serf architects Sheremetev Mironov and Dushkin. The temple is a columnless, huge dome rests on strongly protruding pylons, decorated with two pairs of pilasters made of artificial marble. The cathedral is very light due to the windows of the altar, high side windows and oblong windows of the drum
A scenic view of the Main Building (known colloquially as The Tower or UT Tower) as seen from the marble benches at the intersection of University Ave. and Martin Luther King Blvd. on south side of the University of Texas campus.
The Main Building is a structure at the center of the University of Texas at Austin campus just north of the State Capitol Building and Downtown Austin. The Main Building's 307-foot (94 m) tower has 28 floors and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the university and the city.
Designed by Paul Philippe Cret, the Beaux-Arts style building was constructed between 1934-1937, replacing an earlier Victorian-Gothic style Main Building that stood on the campus from 1882 to 1934. The 28-story building, including an outdoor observation deck, rises to a height of 307 ft (94 m). At the top of the Tower is a carillon of 56 bells which is played daily. The building now mainly contains administrative offices, along with a three-floor life sciences library and the Miriam Lutcher Stark Library of early and significant editions of English Romanticist works.
The University of Texas at Austin, shortened to UT Austin, UT, or Texas, is a public research university and the flagship institution of the University of Texas System. Founded in 1883, the University of Texas is composed of over 50,000 undergraduate and graduate students and over 24,000 faculty and staff.
A Public Ivy, it is a major center for academic research. The university houses seven museums and seventeen libraries, including the LBJ Presidential Library and the Blanton Museum of Art.
Louis XIV's magnificent chateau evolved in three major phases. The Sun King first intended Versailles to be a retreat from the responsibilities of government. Between 1661 and 1668, the architect Louis Le Vau (1612–1670), the gardener AndréLeNôtre (1613–1700), and the painter Charles Le Brun (1619–1690) collaborated to create a palace suitable for the Sun King to entertain favoured courtiers. When Louis XIV decided in 1668 that Versailles was to become a royal residence, able to house his full court for months at a time, he ordered extensive additions.
The Fram (‘Forward’) is a three-masted schooner (1892) designed by the Scottish-Norwegian naval architect Colin Archer.
The Fram is a three-masted schooner with an overall length of 39 metres (127 feet 11 inches) and a beam of 11 metres (36 feet 1 inch). The ship is both exceptionally wide and exceptionally shallow to better withstand the forces of the ice. The disadvantage of this design was that it rolled more than most ships in heavy seas.
She was used on three historic polar expeditions:
Nansen Arctic Expedition (1893-1896).
Sverdrup's Arctic expedition (1898-1902).
Amundsen's South Pole expedition (1910-1912).
No other expedition yacht has gone further north or south. It was a milestone in exploration.
Le Fram (« En avant »)'est une goélette à trois mâts (1892) conçue par l'architecte naval d'origine écossaise et norvégienne Colin Archer.
Le Fram est une goélette à trois mâts d'une longueur totale de 39 mètres (127 pieds 11 pouces) et d'une largeur de 11 mètres (36 pieds 1 pouce). Ce navire est à la fois exceptionnellement large et exceptionnellement peu profond afin de mieux résister aux forces de la glace. L'inconvénient de cette conception est qu'il roulait plus que la plupart des navires par mer forte.
Il a servit à trois expéditions polaires historiques:
Expédition arctique de Nansen (1893-1896).
Expédition arctique de Sverdrup (1898-1902).
Expédition au pôle Sud d'Amundsen (1910-1912).
Aucun autre yacht d'expédition n'est allé plus loin au nord, ni plus loin au sud. Il a franchi des étapes importantes en matière d'exploration.
