L’Achilleion est une vaste demeure néoclassique de style pompéien marbre blanc construite par l’architecte italien Raffaele Caritto en 1889-1891.
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.

The Austonian held the crown of tallest building in Austin for nine years until The Independent surpassed it by only seven feet in 2019. Located at 200 Congress Ave., the 683-foot tall, 56-story building is a modern architectural icon in this rapidly growing city.
This post modern skyscraper was designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects of Houston. At the time of its completion in 2010, the Austrian was both the tallest building in Austin, and the tallest residential skyscraper in the United States west of the Mississippi River. Both distinctions are now held by The Independent, although another downtown Austin tower, Sixth and Guadalupe and still under construction, has already topped out at its final height of 865-feet and is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2023.
Austin is the capital of the State of Texas, as well as the seat of Travis County. With a population of just under one million residents, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, is one of the fastest growing large metropolitan areas in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

INFO 'The Domesday Book records Ringmore as a Devon Manor known then as ‘Ronmore’. Stephen de Haccombe, and his successors are know to have built three chapels in the area, two survive as chapels today, one at Haccombe, and the other is St Nicholas in Ringmore, Shaldon.
The third local chapel is only a ruin. Church Architects are of the opinion the St Nicholas is of 13th Century origins, a fact borne out by the East end Wall with it’s Lancet window-a fact accepted as proof.
Records of various events refer to this church, and the Register of Baptisms was started in 1616, prior to that, Baptisms had taken place at Haccombe. About this time, the Carew family –now Lords of the Manor of Haccombe, carried out repairs to St Nicholas, but the fabric of the building, and it’s architectural features were kept intact. Haccombe Church supplied the Clergy to the Church until 1621 when the first Clergy signed the Baptism register - Elezeus Coke.
Burial and Marriage registers were than started –and in 1671 Lord Clifford bought several local estates including the Manor of Ringmore with St Nicholas Parish. Bishop Keppel visited the church in 1768 and decided that care was needed to restore the Church.
By 1790 a large extension had been added, and a gallery built, along with various other improvements. Mention of a Church organ was made in 1827, but was then replaced with an early version of the Harmonium called a ‘Seraphine’. 1839 saw a gallery added to the North wall for the Sunday School, and a new roof with a domed skylight and wooden Bell tower added in1841. The original font had been removed, and replaced by the existing font-which is Saxon or early Norman.
Reverend Richard Marsh-Dunn cancelled plans for any more changes to St Nicholas, as he had decided to build a new church on the reclaimed land on Riverside in Shaldon.
This was consecrated and dedicated to St.Peter, and became the new Parish Church of St.Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St Nicholas was subsequently renovated with funds generated by a generous benefactor, and was given the official title of Chapel of Ease.'
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.

La Iglesia y Convento de Santo Domingo es un templo católico levantado en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Quito.
Su construcción comenzó en el año 1540, con una capilla provisional. Posteriormente, el templo que persiste hasta la actualidad fue realizado a partir de 1581, concluyéndose las obras de la iglesia en 1688.
El templo está cubierto por trabajos en cedro con pan de oro, y por numerosas pinturas y tallas que adornan su interior. Junto al retablo mayor, las diez capillas laterales que completan el conjunto interior de Santo Domingo enriquecen aún más el cuerpo interno de la iglesia con bellísimos trabajos en madera y hojilla de oro.
De la antigua grandeza de la iglesia queda la espléndida techumbre mudéjar, la más hermosa de las de su clase en la arquitectura de Quito.
La más rica y conocida de las capillas de la iglesia de Santo Domingo es la Capilla del Rosario, que está ubicada hacia el lado sur del crucero, y que está construida en tres niveles diferentes. Esta capilla se asoma a la antigua calle de La Loma (hoy llamada Rocafuerte), donde para solucionar otro desnivel del terreno los arquitectos construyeron el Arco de Santo Domingo, con contrafuertes en forma de cono que evocan puestos de vigía.
The Church and Convent of Santo Domingo is a Catholic temple built in the Historic Center of the city of Quito.
Its construction began in 1540, with a temporary chapel. Later, the construction of the temple that persists to the present day began in 1581, concluding the works of the church in 1688.
The temple is covered with works in cedar with gold leaf, and by numerous paintings and carvings that adorn its interior. Along with the main altarpiece, the ten side chapels that complete the interior of Santo Domingo further enrich the internal body of the church with beautiful works in wood and gold leaf.
Of the former grandeur of the church remains the splendid Mudejar roof, the most beautiful of its kind in the architecture of Quito.
The richest and best known of the chapels in the church of Santo Domingo is the Chapel of the Rosary, which is located on the south side of the transept and is built on three different levels. This chapel looks out onto the old street of La Loma (today called Rocafuerte), where, to overcome another unevenness of the terrain, the architects built the Arch of Santo Domingo, with cone-shaped buttresses evoking lookout posts.
Strandvägen is a boulevard that was created in the second half of the nineteenth century in Stockholm's Östermalm district. The boulevard, which looks out over the water, is lined with grand, almost palatial buildings that were designed by some of the top architects of the day.

Il simbolo di Comacchio (Ferrara) è il complesso architettonico dei Trepponti.
Creato nel 1634 dall'architetto Luca Danesi, è costituito da cinque ampie scalinate (tre anteriori e due posteriori), culminanti in un piano in pietra d'Istria e corredato di due torri.
Il complesso si trova su due canali che si intersecano alla principale via d’acqua di accesso alla cittadina.
Durante le festività di fine anno 2023 i Trepponti erano illuminati da luci che cambiavano colore rapidamente, creando suggestivi effetti.

The symbol of Comacchio (a small town in northern Italy also called “the little Venice”) is the architectonic complex named Trepponti, built in 1634 by the architect Luca Danesi.
It is formed by five wide stairs (due in the rear part, three in the frontal part) which culminate in a plain made with Istrian stone and with two towers on the sides.
The whole complex is located in correspondence of two canals which intersect with the main canal of the town.
During the 2023 end-of-year holidays, the Trepponti were illuminated by lights that changed color rapidly, creating suggestive effects.
Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, formerly known as the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc or Barcelona Olympic Stadium) is a stadium in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Originally built in 1927 for the 1929 International Exposition in the city (and Barcelona's bid for the 1936 Summer Olympics, which were awarded to Berlin), it was renovated in 1989 to be the main stadium for the 1992 Summer Olympics.
This palace, which means ‘Stone House’, contains Khiva’s most sumptuous interior decoration, dense with blue ceramic tiles, carved wooden pillars and elaborate ghanch. Built by Allakuli Khan between 1832 and 1841 as a more splendid alternative to the Kuhna Ark, it’s said to have more than 150 rooms off nine courtyards, with high ceilings designed to catch the slightest desert breeze. Allakuli was a man in a hurry – the Tosh-Hovli’s first architect was executed for failing to complete the job in two years.
Designed by French architect Louis E. Jallade. Construction began in 1926 and was completed in 1928 as the YMCA's Armed Forces Building. In 1980 it was converted to luxury apartments.
La Porte Bleue, a mixed-use structure located in the Arenc district of Marseille, was completed in 2023 as part of the Euroméditerranée redevelopment project. Designed by Pietri Architectes, the building stands 53 meters tall and features a façade of 414 white concrete arches, inspired by Mediterranean heritage and rationalist architecture.
