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

These little streets are wonderful feature of old towns. They do not do much for the flow of traffic and many were eliminated in the name of progress. This one is actually called Shortcut (Pruchodni), just near Bartolomejska street famous (pre 1989) Police station. It is a centuries old street, but it was not named on the maps until 1905. Originally named Karel Bendl street, in honour of composer (1838-1897) who lived there.

This Variety/ Convenience store is still a Variety/ Convenience store. On major Toronto arterial roads (College, Queen or Dundas Street) some of these were converted to a restaurant and left untouched on the outside. The street retains this way some of the character. Kind of reverse Potemkin effect. The mural on the side is reflecting the Portuguese community, which moved into this neighborhood in 1950's

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.

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.
Millikin Place is a private street on the near west side of Decatur. Of the seven homes on Millikin Place, three are considered Prairie School architectural masterpieces. This view shows the Robert Mueller House and Garage at 1 Millikin Place. Built in 1909-10, the home was that of Robert Mueller, a partner in the Mueller Company who was very active in civic and social affairs.
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright was given the commission for the Mueller House, but the project was taken on by Marion Mahony, Wright's protege and chief designer who, in 1898, passed a licensing examination to become the first licensed female architect in the United States. For nearly 15 years, off and on, Mahony worked with Wright, designing her own buildings and producing drawings of Wright designs that helped establish his reputation. Hermann von Holst of Wright's design group also is credited for his work on the Mueller House.
It was while working on the Millikin Place Prairie School homes that Mahony met landscaper Walter Griffin. Collaboration led to marriage, where the two went on to win a commission to design the city of Canberra, the capital of Australia.
Decatur is the seat of Macon County. The city was founded in 1829 and is situated along the Sangamon River and Lake Decatur in central Illinois. Decatur has an economy based on industrial and agricultural commodity processing and production. The city is home of private Millikin University and public Richland Community College.
Decatur's estimated population for 2019 was 70,746, making Decatur the thirteenth-most populous city in Illinois, and the state's sixth-most populous city outside the Chicago metropolitan area.
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.
Bingley, West Yorkshire
The church was consecrated on the 23 October 1868 by Bishop Bickersteth when a population of 4,500 was assigned to it. The church, designed by the Victorian architect Richard Norman Shaw, was built without a tower, although one was added later which the foundations were not strong enough for.
Even as soon as 1882, it was noted that the tower was unsafe when a large stone came crashing down during a church service shocking the congregation.
In 1973, cracks were beginning to show in the church and the tower was scaffolded to allow piecemeal demolition of the structure. Two weeks before its explosive demolition, workmen at the top said that they heard the tower and church audibly creak and groan prompting the mass evacuation of nearby houses.
The decision was taken by convention of the architects, demolition experts and church authorities that blasting was the only option and so the tower and church were demolished by explosive charge on Palm Sunday in 1974.
The congregation raised £23,000 to build a new church on the site. This structure was dedicated on the 5 December 1975 and is still in use today with the stained glass from the original windows re-used in the Rose Window of the new church.
Architect H.G.J. Schelling, originally a civil engineer, designed several railway stations in the Netherlands from the 1920s to 1950s. Schelling’s works show a distinct development in terms of construction materials used. Early railway stations, such as Naarden-Bussum (1926) have façades in fired clay brick, with details in Doornik limestone, as dimension stone typical of medieval building in the Netherlands. Later railway stations such as Amsterdam-Muiderpoort (1937) and Amsterdam Amstel (1939) were constructed in concrete, but fired clay brick, and in the case of Amstel railway station French limestone (Bois fleuri) still dominates the façades. After the Second World War, Schelling designed a series of railway stations - Enschede (1950), Hengelo (1951), Zutphen (1952), Leiden (1953, demolished) and Arnhem (1954, largely demolished) - in which visible concrete dominates the façades. In his use of concrete, Schelling was strongly inspired by Perret. Schelling used various geometric forms (so-called claustra) and above all a careful selection of concrete aggregate (different types and colours of crushed bricks, pipes and roofing tiles, selected natural sands and chert, glass) and surface finishing methods to achieve aesthetic effects. The paper outlines Schelling’s development in choice of materials, largely in his own words.
