This was a rainy and windy day that I arrived Houten, l missed the house reflections but I love this and hope back to Houten I good weather. You can see my other words on Instagram: www.instagram.com/kavzeb/
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
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
The Museum of Contemporary Art - designed by architect Joseph Paul Kleihues and completed in 1996 - occupies four stories and 220,000 square-feet of space in downtown Chicago, making it the world's largest institution devoted to contemporary art.
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.

Looking out of the main building, the Honkan, of the Tokyo National Museum. This was built 1932-1938 after the design of Jin Watanabe - replacing an older building (by the British architect Josiah Conder) that was damaged by the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, which devastated much of Tokyo.
This garden is closed to the public most days - but you can get a quite good look from the windows (hence the light patch in the upper right corner).

History
The construction of Baldwin Cottage, a small-dorm complement to stately Talcott which rose more or less simultaneously next door, began soon after the 1886 fire which destroyed the Second Ladies Hall. It was named for Elbert Baldwin, a Cleveland dry goods merchant from whom Adelia Field Johnston, Oberlin's leading woman administrator, extracted a gift of $20,000. The village paper announced that Baldwin would be done "in the Queen Anne style, with broken roof lines, with the effect of earlier colonial houses" -- language suggesting that wonderfully elastic range of "Queen Anne". Weary and Kramer's design reached for the informal intimacy of a cottage look through variety in massing, texture, and detail. The studied unexpectedness of Baldwin's shapes--its squat tower, its low double-arched entry porch, the broad and gentle slopes of its roof lines, the episodic placement of its windows and dormers--made it a local triumph in the art of organic irregularity popularized by Henry Hobson Richardson. The roofing material, a warm red diamond-shaped tile, introduced a theme that would govern the campus building projects for the next 45 years. Dark, rich woodwork helped carry a friendly "nook-and-cranny" mood through the interior, making Baldwin one of the most durably popular living places on the campus.
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.

Commande de la Commune d'Andrézieux-Bouthéon
Au début des années 1970, Total commande à l'architecte et ingénieur Jean Prouvé une centaine de stations-service modulaires. Certaines sont encore en fonctionnement en France et en région parisienne (dont trois en Essonne), d'autres ont même été inscrites aux monuments historiques, et quelques-unes ont été vendues aux enchères. Car ces stations « Prouvé » sont devenues collector.
Architect Bertrand Goldberg’s innovative vision, River City, has stood the test of time. Within the iconic landmark, the South Loop apartments and community-driven spaces combine all aspects of life (live, work, play, learn) along the Chicago River.
You'll recognize Goldberg's work from River City's bigger, older sister, Marina City (aka the "Corn Cobs") seen in the first comment below.

P. de Gruyter Gasthuisstraat Tilburg, The Netherlands.
Design: Willem G. Welsing, 1933.
Once (1818-1976), 'De Gruyter' was a chain of 550 shops.
Their architecture and interiors were usually striking and luxurious. Now, this one is rentable office space.
T.P. Wilschut was the De Gruyter house architect (1928 to 1961 ) as a successor of W.G. Welsing (1906-1925).

"Crescent House"
- Charred cedar, stained cedar, stained spotted gum, timber framing, steel beam, aluminium plate, micaceous iron oxide.
Looking back from whence we entered the "Crescent House" we see how the architect has played with darkness, light and geometry. Unfortunately the charred cedar is easily marked, but those little holes create the impression of starlight against a night sky.
