The Shepherd's Calendar, August
Harvest approaches with its bustling day
The wheat tans brown and barley bleaches grey
In yellow garb the oat land intervenes
And tawney glooms the valley thronged with beans
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.
Schaumburg Towers = 1400 American lane, Schaumburg, Illinois
Paul De Santis of the Chicago architectural firm Goettsch Partners
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

La Radcliffe Camera, au centre de Radcliffe Square, Oxford, comté de l'Oxfordshire, centre-sud de l'Angleterre. Une vue à partir de l'intersection sud de Catte Street et Radcliffe Square.
La Radcliffe Camera a été dessinée par l'architecte James Gibbs (1682-1754), également auteur de l'église St Martin-in-the-Fields à Londres. Gibbs adopta le style palladien anglais notamment pour la forme circulaire de l'ensemble. Le bâtiment fut édifié entre 1737 et 1749. Il sert aujourd'hui d'annexe à la Bodleian Library.
Oxford, centre administratif du comté de l'Oxfordshire, s'articule autour de sa prestigieuse université fondée au 12e siècle. L'architecture de ses 38 universités dans le centre médiéval de la ville a conduit le poète Matthew Arnold à la surnommer « the city of dreaming spires » (la ville aux clochers rêveurs). Les bâtiments d'Oxford sont un exemple de toutes les périodes de l'architecture de l'Angleterre, depuis l'arrivée des Anglo-Saxons jusqu'à l'époque actuelle.

Les vitraux ont été réalisés par Antonin Léglise, maître-verrier à Auch.
garden of the Medici Riccardi Palace, Florence
Il palazzo è un'opera del Michelozzo, commissionata dal patriarca delle fortune dei Medici, Cosimo il Vecchio.
L'architetto realizzò un palazzo cubico dall'aspetto esterno imponente, ma sobrio ed austero (1444-1452 o 1460), intorno ad un cortile centrale quadrato con colonne corinzie, ispirandosi in parte al recupero di elementi classici operato da Leon Battista Alberti.

Staircase at Museum Arnhem, Arnhem, The Netherlands.
Once a society building, designed by Cornelis Outshoorn (1873), now a restored museum, designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects (2017).
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.
The Tornado is the spectacular centerpiece of the Fenix. Made of stainless steel and featuring two majestic wooden staircases, it is the latest architectural addition to Rotterdam. Designed by Ma Yansong of the Chinese firm MAD Architects, the Tornado is both a work of art and a panoramic platform. Located in the heart of the museum, it connects the ground floor, the first floor, and the rooftop observation deck. Beyond its practical function, the staircases symbolize the central theme of the Fenix: migration.
In the centre of the city, it was designed by architect Julián Otamendi and his brother in the Neo-baroque style and constructed from 1948 to 1953.
When it was finished it was the tallest building in Spain, and the tallest of Western Europe, with 25 floors and a height of 117 meters.

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a five-diamond luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States, on the site of the old Sands Hotel. Designed by KlingStubbins, the hotel tower contains 36 stories and rises 475 feet (145 m). The Venetian is owned and operated by Las Vegas Sands. The Venetian also serves as the seat of the corporate headquarters for its parent company.
The Venetian resort complex is (together with the adjacent Sands Expo Convention Center and The Palazzo Hotel and Casino Resort) the world's second-largest hotel, with 4,049 rooms, 3,068 suites ranging in price from $169 to $10,000 per night and a 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) casino. Since its opening, The Venetian Macao is now the largest casino in the world, beating The Venetian, Las Vegas.
In April 1996, Sheldon Adelson announced plans to create on the property the largest resort on the Strip. This project would be situated on the former Sands property. On November 26, 1996, eight years after it was purchased by the owners of The Interface Group—Adelson, Richard Katzeff, Ted Cutler, Irwin Chafetz and Jordan Shapiro, the Sands Hotel was imploded to make way for The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino. Groundbreaking for the hotel began on April 14, 1997.
The resort opened on May 3, 1999, with flutter of white doves, sounding trumpets and singing gondoliers, with actress Sophia Loren joining The Venetian Chairman and Owner, Sheldon G. Adelson, in dedicating the first motorized gondola. Built at a cost of $1.5 billion, it was one of the most expensive resorts of its kind when it opened.
On June 27, 2003, the 1,013-room Venezia Tower opened. It was built on top of the garage parking lot.
in 2010, it was announced that it will be affiliated with InterContinental Hotels Group.[2]
In October 2011, the Cantor Race & Sportsbook opened, which was the only Las Vegas sportsbook that was open 24 hours a day. On June 11, 2012, the Venetian opened Carnevale, a summer-long festival that is anchored by a nightly 3-D projection show on the clock tower. In September 2012, The Blue Man Group show closed and relocated to the Monte Carlo, after being at the Venetian for six years.
The hotel uses Venice, Italy, as its design inspiration and features architectural replicas of various Venetian landmarks, including the Palazzo Ducale, Piazza San Marco, Piazzetta di San Marco, the Lion of Venice Column and the Column of Saint Theodore, St Mark's Campanile, and the Rialto Bridge. The design architects for this project were The Stubbins Associates and WAT&G
Légère inondation du Tidal Basin du National Mall, Washington DC, la capitale des USA.
Une vue à partir de la rive ouest du bassin près du Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial.
Au loin, on remarque le Thomas Jefferson Memorial au milieu des cerisiers Yoshino en fleurs sur la rive sud du Tidal Basin du National Mall. Situé à l'extrémité sud du bassin et de la 15th Street SW, ce monument qui ressemble à un temple, avec sa rotonde ouverte entourée de colonnes ioniques et surmonté d'un dôme, offre l'une des images les plus célèbres de Washington. Ces colonnes protègent une statue de Jefferson (1743-1826), le 3e président américain haute de 6 m entouré par des passages gravés de la Déclaration d'Indépendance. Construit en 1934, le style du bâtiment rend hommage à la demeure de Jefferson, architecte de profusion, située en Virginie.
Le Tidal Basin est un bassin artificiel d'eau douce qui a été créé à la fin du 19e siècle, entre le fleuve Potomac et le Washington Channel. L'été, on peut le parcourir en pédalo. Au printemps, de la fin mars au début avril, dans le cadre du National Cherry Blossom Festival, on y profite de la floraison des cerisiers Yoshino en fleurs qui furent offert aux USA par le Japon en 1912. L’édition de 2023 avait été programmé du 20 mars au 16 avril. Il s'agit d'un hommage annuel à l'amitié de longue date entre le Japon et les États-Unis. En effet, plus de 3 000 arbres sont arrivés à Washington en 1912 après une coordination entre les gouvernements des deux pays. Lors d'une cérémonie simple le 27 mars 1912, la première dame Helen Herron Taft et la vicomtesse Chinda, épouse de l'ambassadeur du Japon, ont planté les deux premiers arbres du Japon sur la rive nord du Tidal Bassin dans le West Potomac Park.
Le National Mall est une grande esplanade verte, un parc ouvert au public du centre-ville de Washington, D.C qui fait office de rue principale et de square municipal. Il s'étend du Lincoln Memorial jusqu'au Capitole des États-Unis et marque la limite entre deux des quatre quadrants partageant la ville : Northwest (NW) et Southwest (SW). On y inclut communément les zones qui font officiellement partie du West Potomac Park et les Constitution Gardens à l'ouest. Son plan est originellement dessiné par Pierre Charles L'Enfant mais celui-ci ayant été remercié de ses services avant même la construction de la ville, il fallut attendre plus de 110 ans avant que le projet ne soit réalisé par le National Park Service qui l'adopta.
Le Mall et ses pelouses forment l'un des lieux touristiques les plus connus de la ville et est souvent utilisé pour les manifestations en raison de sa signification civique et historique. Aujourd'hui cette grande allée de 3.5 km de long est bordée par de nombreux musées dont ceux de la Smithsonian Institution, monuments et mémoriaux.

Architect Santiago Calatrava, was the lead designer of the Samuel Beckett Bridge. He was assisted with the civil and structural aspects of the design by Roughan & O'Donovan consulting engineers.
This was the second bridge in the area designed by Calatrava, the first being the James Joyce Bridge, which is further upstream.
The bridge is named for Irish writer Samuel Beckett and it was officially opened to pedestrians on 10 December 2009 by Dublin Lord Mayor, Emer Costello.

The Church of Edward the Confessor
Situated in the Market Place, Romford, RM1 3AB. The earliest known house of worship was built in 1177 and was known as St Andrew’s Chapel. This building was demolished in the 14th century after many years of neglect. A new church was erected towards the end of the 14th century and completed in 1410. This was dedicated to The Virgin Mary and Edward the Confessor. Originally built with a Nave, a Chancel and extended North Aisle. It also featured a brick tower for five bells. Later a gallery was built for a charity for orphaned children. In 1710 it was renamed St Edward’s School and was later moved to another part of Market Place in 1728.
The church building was still in use but again fell into disrepair then work on a new church on the same site was started in 1844 and in 1849 the last service was held in the old church, then it was demolished. Only Blore’s chapel remained and was used as a burial yard until 1953, when this was also demolished.
The new building was consecrated in 1850 by Bishop of Rochester, George Murray. He was resident of Danbury Palace, Danbury, Essex. Architect John Johnson designed the church (he also designed Alexandra Palace). The church was designed in ‘Gothic Style’ and built from Kentish ragstone, it also used materials from John Nash’s in Regent Street. There are many carved heads situated in the church and this is thought to be the explanation of their being there.
It did suffer some war damage, but only minor. The biggest loss was the bells were used in the war effort and in 1944 a set of chime bells and an electric clock were installed.
Since then, major renovation work was completed in1988 and again in 1992. A new organ was installed in 1979 and in 2001 a statue of Edward the confessor was installed in the main porch.
Legend
There is a legend that the name Havering, a district close by to Romford, was named after a connection to Edward the Confessor and St John the apostle in the form of a ring. This was commemorated in a stain glass window of 1407, in the old chapel. I believe that this window does not exist now but a more modern one was installed in 1850 the 600th anniversary of the church.
