A special evening of live art events by Paris-based artists Hicham Berrada, Marie-Luce Nadal, and Raphaël Zarka. Spread across outdoor locations at LASALLE College of the Arts, the events activated processes and ideas from artworks in the exhibition 'Sous la lune/Beneath the moon'. Visitors had the opportunity to experience the exhibition, and meet the artists who were performing on the night.
Programme
7:30–10:00pm
Performances by skateboarders with 'Schönflies 329' by Raphaël Zarka
Basement mezzanine, opposite the entrance to Earl Lu Gallery
In this performance skateboarders from Isle Skateboards and Singapore skated, flew and glided on 'Schönflies 329', an assemblage of eight wooden modular sculptures by Raphaël Zarka, inspired by public sculptures, mathematics and architecture. The sculptures refer and respond to German mathematician Arthur Moritz Schönflies’ work on crystallography, as well as Zarka’s own research on the history of skateboarding.
7:45–8:30pm
Hicham Berrada, 'Présage (Premonition)'
Verandah, in front of The Singapore Airlines Theatre
Chemical experiments performed by Hicham Berrada were filmed and projected live on a 4-metre wide screen. Resembling transforming clouds and organic shapes, the projections were accompanied by sound from invited sound artist Mark Wong. The performance drew on Berrada’s ongoing research into chemical processes and biological conditions.
8:30–9:30pm
Marie-Luce Nadal, 'Cultiver la brume (Growing mist)'
Verandah, opposite the entrance to Gallery 1
Marie-Luce Nadal created the illusion of mist in the new performance. The work referenced her research into systems that control and manipulate natural environments. Nadal’s previous projects include 'Fabrique de nuages (Cloud factory)', a system that reproduces clouds, and the Fair Weather Foundation, a non-for-profit enterprise that sells rights to air in anticyclones.
'Performing the moon' was part of Singapore Art Week (16–24 January 2016). Along with the exhibition 'Sous la lune/Beneath the moon', the event was co-produced by the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore and the Palais de Tokyo (Paris).
The exhibition and event were presented under the aegis of the Emerging Talents from Emerging Countries programme initiated by the Total Corporate Foundation and Palais de Tokyo (Paris).
'Performing the moon’ was part of Singapore Art Week (16–24 January 2016)
Designed by Werner Merch in 1934 these grounds were originally entitled 'Reichssportfeld'. The Olympiastadion is one of the last remaining examples of Nazi Architecture, the vast majority did not survive the war. It's hard not to be awed by the vast totalitarian structure, despite (and perhaps in part, because of) the innumerable despicable horrors perpetrated by it's commissioner. Hitler planned to use the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as a political propaganda tool and a showcase for the superiority of the Aryan race.
TWO words: Jesse Owens.
And his FOUR gold medals. Der Führer was conspicuously absent for those particular awards ceremonies...
Don't you wish that all of those apartment lifestyles were your lifestyles. 1975 was a top year for brown architecture. The prime minister was Pierre Trudeau, who often dressed in brown in those days.

Marsh Manor Shopping Center, located on Florence St at Marsh Rd in Redwood City, CA. This shopping center was the product of contractor and developer Richard Delucchi. It was designed in "early California ranch style" architecture. The first stage opened January 1959, consisting of Marsh Manor market, Marsh Manor cleaners and Marsh Manor Liquor company. A Shell station on the corner was another charter tenant, but that was later demolished. In 1960, a new wing was christened, with Marsh Manor pharmacy, a beauty salon, a barber shop, a shoe repair shop, a fountain restaurant, a launderette and a bakery. In April 1969, a new Marsh Manor market was constructed on a parcel of the north end of the shopping center. With 16,000 square feet, it was 50% larger than the old supermarket. This was later Busy Boy (Manor) Market in the 1980s, and then it was Key Market for many years. In 2014, when Key's lease expired, it became Delucchi's Market. Richard Delucchi was one of the investors of that market-at age 105. He lived to see the market named after him operate for 6 months before he passed away.
In the late 2000s, the shopping center underwent a tasteful remodel. Pleasant landscaping and pergolas were added, while retaining the ranch-style architecture. During this time, a parcel was constructed at the intersection of Florence and Marsh.
Excelsior Springs, Missouri
Listed 3/31/2014
Reference Number: 14000091
The Elms Historic District is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of entertainment/recreation and health/medicine. It is also significant under Criterion C in the area of architecture. The district and many of its resources were built as a result of the health industry that grew around the numerous mineral waters found in Excelsior Springs, and are thus significant under health/medicine. The health industry was the basis for the town's founding and its economy for nearly a century, earning Excelsior Springs its moniker as -Missouri's National Health Resort.- In the area of entertainment/recreation, several buildings were constructed to accommodate a new class of tourists. The large Elms Hotel complex was developed to attract not only health-seekers, but also tourists seeking leisure or recreational pursuits. While the large hotel building was previously listed on the National Register in the areas of architecture and commerce (3/29/85), the grounds and outbuildings were not included in that nomination, and the entire complex's association with entertainment/recreation was not fully developed. In addition to the Elms Hotel, several boarding houses were built in the district accommodating those who could not afford the first class Elms Hotel. Significance in architecture is represented by a number of examples of Early Twentieth Century Revival and American Movement styles, as well and folk house forms that reflect veniacular residential architecture in the United States. There are also several representatives of the ""boarding house/apartment"" property type as defmed in the MPDF. Finally, there are well crafted examples of Early Twentieth Century Revival styles that were designed by prominent local and regional architects: John 0. Bradley, Jackson & Mcilvain, and George M. Siemens. The district as a whole retains integrity for eligibility under the registration requirements established in the MPDF, while a few buildings possess integrity and significance in architecture for individual listing.

Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO: "Ciudad histórica de Sukhothai y sus ciudades históricas asociados".
Capital del primer reino de Siam durante los siglos XIII y XIV, Sukhothai conserva espléndidos monumentos ilustrativos de la primera época de la arquitectura tailandesa. La gran civilización que floreció en esta ciudad fue producto de la rápida asimilación de numerosas influencias y tradiciones antiguas locales, que dio lugar muy pronto a lo que se ha dado en llamar el “estilo sukhothai”.
UNESCO World Heritage: "Historic Town of Sukhothai and Associated Historic Towns".
Sukhothai was the capital of the first Kingdom of Siam in the 13th and 14th centuries. It has a number of fine monuments, illustrating the beginnings of Thai architecture. The great civilization which evolved in the Kingdom of Sukhothai absorbed numerous influences and ancient local traditions; the rapid assimilation of all these elements forged what is known as the 'Sukhothai style'.

Thiru Parameswara Vinnagaram or Vaikunta Perumal Temple is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, located in Kanchipuram in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the Divya Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one among the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Vaikuntanathan and his consort Lakshmi as Vaikundavalli.
The temple is believed to have been built by the Pallava king Nandivarman II (720-96 CE), with later contributions from Medieval Cholas and Vijayanagar kings. The temple is surrounded by a granite wall enclosing all the shrines and water bodies of the temple. Vaikuntanathan is believed to have appeared to king Viroacha. The temple follows Vaikasana Agama and observes six daily rituals and two yearly festivals. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
LEGEND
As per Hindu legend, the region where the temple is located was called Vidarbha Desa and ruled by a king named Viroacha. Due to his misdeeds in preceding birth, Virocha had no heir. He prayed in Kailasanathar Temple and Shiva, the presiding deity of the temple gave a boon that the Dvarapalas (the gatekeepers) of the Vishnu temple will be born as sons to him. The princes were devoted to Vishnu and conducted yagna for the welfare of the people of their kingdom. Vishnu was pleased with the worship and appeared as Vaikundanatha to the princes.
TEMPLE
As per Dr. Hultzh, Parameswara Vinnagaram was constructed by the Pallava King Nandivarman II in 690 CE, while other scholars place it in the late 8th century. Pallavamallan was a worshipper of Vishnu and a great patron of learning. He renovated old temples and built several new ones. Among the latter was the Parameswara Vinnagaram or the Vaikunta Perumal temple at Kanchipuram which contains inscribed panels of sculpture portraying the events leading up to the accession of Pallavamalla to the throne. The great Vaishnava saint Thirumangai Alvar was his contemporary.
Three sanctuaries host the image of Vishnu in different postures - seated (ground floor), lying (first floor; accessible to devotees only on ekadashi days) and standing (second floor; inaccessible to devotees). The logical and complex plan of the temple provided a prototype for the much larger shrines to be constructed all over Tamil Nadu. The external cloisters, for instance, with their lion pillars, are predecessors of the grand thousand pillared halls of later temples.
This temple is revered in Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the 7th–9th century Vaishnava canon by Thirumangai Alvar in 10 hymns. The temple is classified as a Divyadesam, one of the 108 Vishnu temples that are mentioned in the Vaishnava canon. The temple is one of the fourteen Divyadesams in Kanchipuram and is part of Vishnu Kanchi, the place where most of the Vishnu temples in Kanchipuram are located.
FESTIVALS & RELIGIOUS PRACTICES
The temple follows Vaikasana Agama. The temple priests perform the pooja (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. Like other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Vaishnavaite community, a Brahmin sub-caste. The temple rituals are performed six times a day: Ushathkalam at 7:30 a.m., Kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., Uchikalam at 12:00 p.m., Sayarakshai at 5:00 p.m., Irandamkalam at 6:00 p.m. and Ardha Jamam at 7:30 p.m. Each ritual has three steps: alangaram (decoration), neivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for both Vaikuntanathan and Vaikundavalli. During the last step of worship, religious instructions in the Vedas (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the temple mast. There are weekly, monthly and fortnightly rituals performed in the temple. The Vaikasi Brahmotsavam, celebrated during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (May-June), and Vaikunta Ekadashi celebrated during the Tamil month of Margazhi (December-January) are the two major festivals celebrated in the temple. Verses from Nalayira Divya Prabandham are recited by a group of temple priests amidst music with nagaswaram (pipe instrument) and tavil (percussion instrument).

The Beringer Winery Historic District is a complex of buildings and structures consisting of a winery, residential buildings, winery support structures, a series of circulation routes, and a number of significant landscape elements that retains a high degree of integrity from its period of significance. At the height of Beringer activity at the site, the property looked remarkably like its present configuration. In fact, it appears to be one of the few Napa wineries that retains all four of the central site components present at most wineries: the winery building, support structures, and the crucial site circulation, as well as the residential structures and precincts. A comparison of an 1878 Lithograph of the property with Sanborn Maps from the years 1886, 1889, 1910, and 1944 give a strong indication of the appearance of the Beringer property as it developed during its period of significance.
The historical resources within the Beringer Winery Historic District are significant at the state level under National Register Criterion A in the area of California agriculture, specifically the statewide development of the viticultural industry during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Unlike early Southern California wineries which diminished in production and distribution as other agricultural uses became more lucrative in that area of the state, the Northern California wineries expanded from the mid nineteenth century until Prohibition. Significant as a continuously family-operated agricultural enterprise, the Beringer Winery differs from other early California wineries in that it remained family-run through Prohibition, Repeal, World War II, and the beginnings of the second wine boom of the 1960s. The Beringer family operated one of the "Big Four" family wineries in the Napa Valley and utilized innovative agricultural and business practices to achieve this status. Leaving Charles Krug's winery and establishing his own winery, Jacob Beringer erected a large, modern winery incorporating the latest technology. In the late 1870s, the St. Helena Star called the Beringer wine cellar "the most handsomely finished of any in the valley, and for solidity of build and completeness of appointments can have no superior anywhere." Similar to other wineries developing in Napa during the third quarter of the nineteenth century, the Beringer Winery site consisted of a residential precinct; a winery, distillery, and storage buildings located in an industrial precinct for wine production; as well as vineyards, orchards, and gardens. Elevating its significance within an agricultural context, the Beringer Winery Historic District is one of the few California wineries remaining that fully illustrates the relationship of the industrial wine making precinct to the more residential components of the winery site linked by extant circulation routes. In conjunction with establishing modern wine making practices, the Beringer winery produced large quantities of wine and distributed products across the country, including an outlet in New York.
One district contributor, the Rhine House, is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C, architecture. The Rhine House, built on the property in the 1880s as Frederick Beringer's residence, is representative of the work of a significant local architect, Albert Schroepfer; it is a good example of the use of local stone; and possesses distinctive characteristics including a remarkable collection of stained glass. Additionally, the Beringer Brothers Winery building is a California State Historical Landmark.
The highlight of any visit to Lisbon, this is a stunning place with the cloister being simply superb. Situated in Belém and easily reached by public transport allow a half day to visit to what is a World Heritage Site .
From Sacred Locations.
Founded in 1501, the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) in Lisbon is a great monument to the Age of Discovery and a magnificent example of the Manueline style of architecture. The monastery was founded by King Manuel I in celebration of - and funded by - successful Portuguese voyages around the world.
History of Jeronimos Monastery
In 1496, King Manuel I (1495–1521) asked the pope for permission to build a great monastery in thanks to the Virgin Mary for Vasco de Gama's successful voyage to India. The request was granted and construction began on the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos on January 6, 1501. The project was funded by treasures from explorations in Africa, Asia, and South America, as well as a stiff tax on the Portuguese-controlled spice trade with Africa and the East.
The king hired French architect Diogo de Boitaca (1460-1528; master of the pioneering Igreja de Jesus in Setúbal), who was later succeeded by João de Castilho (1475-1552) of Spain, Diogo de Torralva (c.1500-1566), and Jerónimo de Ruão (1530-1601). The site Manuel chose for the new monastery was on the banks of the Tagus river, replacing a small chapel dedicated to St. Mary of Belém by Henry the Navigator.
King Manuel I named his new foundation the Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Belém and invited the Order of St. Jerome (Hieronymites, or dos Jerónimos) to occupy it. The powerful Hieronymites were known for their contemplative spirituality and productive intellectual output; they also shared the king's political views.
The Hieronymites monk were expected to celebrate daily mass for the souls of Prince Henry the Navigator, King Manuel I and his successors in perpetuity, in addition to hearing confessions and providing spiritual counsel to seamen and navigators who sailed from Belém.
As for the monastery, it would be not only a thank-offering to the Virgin Mary but a lasting monument to the Age of Discovery and the mausoleum of King Manuel I and his successors. The project was completed around 1600, by which time Renaissance and Baroque elements were incorporated into the design.
The 1755 earthquake damaged the monastery but thankfully did not destroy it. Many restoration projects have been undertaken since then, some executed better than others. The Hieronymites occupied the monastery for 400 years until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1833, when the building became state property. It was used as a college for the Casa Pia of Lisbon (a children's charity) until around 1940.
What to See at Jeronimos Monastery
Jerónimos Monastery is an prime example of Manueline architecture, a style unique to Portugal that combines Flamboyant Gothic, Moorish, and early Renaissance influences. It is characterized by an elaborate use of sculptural detail and often includes maritime motifs. Other notable Manueline structures in Portugal include Batalha Monastery and the Templar Convento de Cristo in Tomar.
The main entrance to the monastic church is the south portal, designed by João de Castilho. Occupying the central pillar is a statue of Henry the Navigator. Inside, fragile-looking pillars covered with sculpture support a complex web of lierne vaulting over three aisles. Much of the artwork depicts scenes of St. Jerome, translator of the Vulgate and patron of the Hieronymite order.
The west door leads into the cloisters, where the stonework is even more impressive than the church. Designed by João de Castilho, the cloisters have two levels, the lower one having a groin vault and the most exuberant decoration. Virtually every surface of the arches and pillars are covered in elaborate Manueline sculpture.
Jerónimos Monastery contains the tombs of King Manuel and other Portuguese royalty, as well as many important figures from Portuguese history. Most famous among the latter is Vasco de Gama, whose accomplishments at sea inspired the monastery. Other notables include the romantic poet Herculano (1800-54) and the poet Fernando Pessoa.
Part of the monastic complex is the freestanding Chapel of St. Jerome, built in 1514. It is a small rectangular building with conical pinnacles at the four corners and stone "rope" along the roofline. Gargoyles look out from the corners. From the west doorway, there is a fine view all the way out to sea.
Kareng Ghar (Pron:/ˌkɑ:ɹɛŋ ˈgɑ:/, Assamese: কাৰেং ঘৰ; meaning "royal palace"), also known as The Garhgaon Palace, is located in Garhgaon, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from present-day Sivasagar, in Upper Assam, India.[1] Of all Ahom ruins, the Kareng Ghar is one of the grandest examples of Ahom architecture. The palace structures were made of wood and stones.

Thiru Parameswara Vinnagaram or Vaikunta Perumal Temple is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, located in Kanchipuram in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the Divya Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one among the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Vaikuntanathan and his consort Lakshmi as Vaikundavalli.
The temple is believed to have been built by the Pallava king Nandivarman II (720-96 CE), with later contributions from Medieval Cholas and Vijayanagar kings. The temple is surrounded by a granite wall enclosing all the shrines and water bodies of the temple. Vaikuntanathan is believed to have appeared to king Viroacha. The temple follows Vaikasana Agama and observes six daily rituals and two yearly festivals. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
LEGEND
As per Hindu legend, the region where the temple is located was called Vidarbha Desa and ruled by a king named Viroacha. Due to his misdeeds in preceding birth, Virocha had no heir. He prayed in Kailasanathar Temple and Shiva, the presiding deity of the temple gave a boon that the Dvarapalas (the gatekeepers) of the Vishnu temple will be born as sons to him. The princes were devoted to Vishnu and conducted yagna for the welfare of the people of their kingdom. Vishnu was pleased with the worship and appeared as Vaikundanatha to the princes.
TEMPLE
As per Dr. Hultzh, Parameswara Vinnagaram was constructed by the Pallava King Nandivarman II in 690 CE, while other scholars place it in the late 8th century. Pallavamallan was a worshipper of Vishnu and a great patron of learning. He renovated old temples and built several new ones. Among the latter was the Parameswara Vinnagaram or the Vaikunta Perumal temple at Kanchipuram which contains inscribed panels of sculpture portraying the events leading up to the accession of Pallavamalla to the throne. The great Vaishnava saint Thirumangai Alvar was his contemporary.
Three sanctuaries host the image of Vishnu in different postures - seated (ground floor), lying (first floor; accessible to devotees only on ekadashi days) and standing (second floor; inaccessible to devotees). The logical and complex plan of the temple provided a prototype for the much larger shrines to be constructed all over Tamil Nadu. The external cloisters, for instance, with their lion pillars, are predecessors of the grand thousand pillared halls of later temples.
This temple is revered in Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the 7th–9th century Vaishnava canon by Thirumangai Alvar in 10 hymns. The temple is classified as a Divyadesam, one of the 108 Vishnu temples that are mentioned in the Vaishnava canon. The temple is one of the fourteen Divyadesams in Kanchipuram and is part of Vishnu Kanchi, the place where most of the Vishnu temples in Kanchipuram are located.
FESTIVALS & RELIGIOUS PRACTICES
The temple follows Vaikasana Agama. The temple priests perform the pooja (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. Like other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Vaishnavaite community, a Brahmin sub-caste. The temple rituals are performed six times a day: Ushathkalam at 7:30 a.m., Kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., Uchikalam at 12:00 p.m., Sayarakshai at 5:00 p.m., Irandamkalam at 6:00 p.m. and Ardha Jamam at 7:30 p.m. Each ritual has three steps: alangaram (decoration), neivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for both Vaikuntanathan and Vaikundavalli. During the last step of worship, religious instructions in the Vedas (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the temple mast. There are weekly, monthly and fortnightly rituals performed in the temple. The Vaikasi Brahmotsavam, celebrated during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (May-June), and Vaikunta Ekadashi celebrated during the Tamil month of Margazhi (December-January) are the two major festivals celebrated in the temple. Verses from Nalayira Divya Prabandham are recited by a group of temple priests amidst music with nagaswaram (pipe instrument) and tavil (percussion instrument).

May 14, 2019 - After lunch we had a tour of the Milwaukee Art Museum's Quadracci Pavilion designed by Santiago Calatrava.
"The Quadracci Pavilion is the iconic sculptural addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Santiago Calatrava. The Spanish architect was inspired by the “dramatic, original building by Eero Saarinen, . . . the topography of the city,” and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie-style architecture.
The 142,050-square-foot structure was completed in 2001 and houses a grand reception hall, an auditorium, a large exhibition space, a store, two cafés, and parking. Both cutting-edge technology and old-world craftsmanship went into creating the graceful building, which was made largely by pouring concrete into one-of-a-kind wooden forms.
Windhover Hall is the grand reception hall and among the pavilion’s many architectural highlights. Complete with flying buttresses, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a central nave topped by a 90-foot-high glass roof, it is Calatrava’s interpretation of a Gothic cathedral. An average-sized, two-story family home would fit comfortably inside it. The hall’s chancel is shaped like the prow of a ship, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking over Lake Michigan. Adjoining the central hall are two tow-arched promenades, the Baumgartner Galleria and Schroeder Galleria, with expansive views of the lake and downtown.
The Museum’s signature wings, the Burke Brise Soleil, form a moveable sunscreen with a 217-foot wingspan. The brise soleil is made up of 72 steel fins, ranging in length from 26 to 105 feet. The entire structure weighs 90 tons. It takes 3.5 minutes for the wings to open or close. Sensors on the fins continually monitor wind speed and direction, so when winds exceed 23 mph for more than 3 seconds, the wings close automatically.
According to Santiago Calatrava, the Quadracci Pavilion’s design “responds to the culture of the lake: the sailboats, the weather, the sense of motion and change.” And “in the crowning element of the brise soleil,” he stated, “the building’s form is at once formal (completing the composition), functional (controlling the level of light), symbolic (opening to welcome visitors), and iconic (creating a memorable image for the Museum and the city).”
The expansion of the Museum was made possible through the generosity of donors in a capital campaign, with major funding provided by Betty and Harry Quadracci." Previous text from the Milwaukee Art Museum's website: mam.org/info/details/quadracci.php

The Zanesville Post Office and Federal Building is significant as displaying the distinct characteristics of the Beaux Arts style of architecture in Zanesville and exhibiting many products such as terra cotta and art tile representing many of the local industries that flourished in the area during the early 20th century. Through its architecture the building reflects the turn-of-the-century concept of the federal government that public buildings should be monumental and attractive while representing both American democratic ideals as well as a local understanding of architectural styles.
James Knox Taylor was the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department from 1897-1912, the branch of government that controlled the postal service until 1939. He favored individually designed buildings that reflected classical American traditions. Taylor also thought that government buildings should be constructed of quality materials that would endure. While Taylor's office was responsible for plans of smaller post offices, the designing of larger post offices was often contracted to outside architects. The Zanesville Post Office was of the latter category, and was contracted to Cleveland architect George Francis Hammond. Hammond, a native Bostonian and MIT graduate, had his own architectural practice in Boston from 1884 until he moved to Cleveland about 1900. Hammond's work shows a broad knowledge and interpretation of classical styles. Other buildings designed by Hammond include the Hollenden Hotel in Cleveland, and later the Ohio Bell Building, the First Christian Science Church, and Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland, the McKinley High School in Canton, and a Master Plan and five buildings for Kent State University.
The building displays characteristics of the Beaux Arts style through its grandiose composition, two story projecting pavilion, paired columns and pilasters, exuberance of classical detail, and enriched entablature topped by tall parapet. On its interior the building displays a rich variety of local clay products including art tile and terra cotta produced by area manufacturers including the Mosaic Tile Company of Zanesville and Ludowici-Celadon of nearby Perry County.
Muqarnas vaulting is emblematic of Islamic architecture.
The Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque was founded in 1530. The many structures of the surrounding waqf (an Islamic charitable foundation), including schools, a hammam and a market, form the nucleus of the origins of Sarajevo as a city. Targeted during the Siege of Sarajevo (1992 - 1996), reconstruction was completed in 2002.
This altarpiece was made in the then modern Renaissance style. The form and motifs of the mouldings derive from Classical Roman architecture. The material was also modern: tin-glazed earthenware. The inscription translates as: ‘Sister Catherine, daughter of Tomaso di Salvestro, Nuccarello’s son, had this altarpiece made in the year 1502’. It comes from the church of Sant’Antonio Abate in Cortona.

Marsh Manor Shopping Center, located on Florence St at Marsh Rd in Redwood City, CA. This shopping center was the product of contractor and developer Richard Delucchi. It was designed in "early California ranch style" architecture. The first stage opened January 1959, consisting of Marsh Manor market, Marsh Manor cleaners and Marsh Manor Liquor company. A Shell station on the corner was another charter tenant, but that was later demolished. In 1960, a new wing was christened, with Marsh Manor pharmacy, a beauty salon, a barber shop, a shoe repair shop, a fountain restaurant, a launderette and a bakery. In April 1969, a new Marsh Manor market was constructed on a parcel of the north end of the shopping center. With 16,000 square feet, it was 50% larger than the old supermarket. This was later Busy Boy (Manor) Market in the 1980s, and then it was Key Market for many years. In 2014, when Key's lease expired, it became Delucchi's Market. Richard Delucchi was one of the investors of that market-at age 105. He lived to see the market named after him operate for 6 months before he passed away.
In the late 2000s, the shopping center underwent a tasteful remodel. Pleasant landscaping and pergolas were added, while retaining the ranch-style architecture. During this time, a parcel was constructed at the intersection of Florence and Marsh.
The scheduled part of the decoy includes the night shelter which is situated to the south of the Stour River valley, some 1,476ft south west of Spinnel's Farm, ''WRI Spinnels Farm'' was a World War Two N Series (Naval) Decoy controlled from Harwich. This class of decoy was designed specifically for the protection of naval installations - in this case the Sea Mine Depot at Wrabness (TM 162 316), two miles to the north.
N. Dobinson, 1996, records that the site was a QF type - a type which attempted to replicate the night-time fires from a successful raid on a specific target. Similar to Temporary Starfish sites, QF's mainly used basket fires but could add other fire sources to these depending on the nature of the target being replicated. Located some distance from the decoy area, the electrical ignition for the fires was controlled from an earth-covered ''night shelter'' which housed the generator and switchgear.
Site visit September 1999: The contemporary Military Grid Reference of the site, 98/610480, is open farmland on a north-facing hillside, south-west of Spinnels Farm. Little can be seen on a 1946 aerial photograph in this position other than some blotching of the soil but this is not positive enough to establish the precise position of the decoy arrays. 1,200ft to the north-west, overlooking the decoy area from the other side of the valley, the night shelter survives in fine condition.
This is very much the same pattern as the naval decoy at Kirby-le-Soken; it is 32ft long, with the Operations Room 12ft long x 10ft wide and the Engine Room 10ft long x 11ft 6in wide. Between the two is an entrance chamber with a small toilet room. The Operations Room has an escape hatch with steel ladder; the remains of the flue outlet for the stove is in the far left-hand corner. Halfway up the right-hand wall there are four ceramic pipe outlets.
These are thought to have been for channelling the electrical switchgear cabling to the outside. In the Engine Room, the engine bed is on the right-hand side and three steel exhaust outlet pipes lead through the north wall to the outside. It is thought that the bunker was constructed as standard with these, but as only one engine was required for powering the fire ignition, only one exhaust pipe would have been used. In the walls are three large ventilation pipes.
The earth banking around the bunker has been removed, allowing the outside to be accessible for study. Site Assessment: Like its partner at Kirby-le-Soken this example of a Naval Decoy Control Bunker is in fine condition providing a valuable example of this defence type. All efforts should be made to ensure its preservation as an historic part of local and national World War Two architecture. The scheduled part of the decoy includes the night shelter which is situated to the south of the Stour River valley, some 450m south west of Spinnel's Farm.
A Level 3 Historic building record was completed in 2021. The building is built of 14in thick 2.5in x 4.3in x 8.8in Fletton brick walls set in hard sandy lime cement. At the time of the survey only the interior walls and the western exterior wall of the Entrance Lobby was exposed. The walls have recently been hard rendered to tank them and most of the voids have been filled. The central vent (which was trimmed with a large diameter ceramic pipe) has been smashed out and covered with a board.
The 8in thick roof is made from shuttered concrete reinforce with quarter inch thin wire bars.
It should be noted there are four rooms (different from listing description). The Entrance Lobby 6ft 6in x 7ft 6in, the Operations Room 10ft x 12ft, the Engine Room 10ft x 11ft 7in and a WC cubicle 4ft x 4ft. There is an entrance port protected by 45 degree sloping walls with a parapet to prevent soil from falling into the passageway. The floors and roof are of shuttered steel reinforced concrete.

This view captures both industrial and residential architecture. The lighting strip on the side of the residential tower in the centre of the photograph is an interesting architectural feature. The bright lights of the industrial buildings to the left can be seen to be creating high levels of light pollution. The red lights indicate the presence of cranes and construction work in the area. The green lights on the left hand side of the image reveal the Woolwich ferry pier.

Tree population
The tree population is, as in any kitchen garden, replanted on a regular basis. But really outstanding is the Platanus orientalis (Platanus orientalis) in the center of the garden. It has a height and a crown diameter of each 20 m and a chest circumference of 3.6 m. This tree is individually designated as a natural monument (no. 376).
Rose Garden and Flower Arrangement
There is a rose garden with more than 3000 rose bushes of over 200 varieties of roses between the entrance at the Burgtheater and the Grillparzer Monument. In the middle of the rose garden are, framed by boxwood hedges, laid out rosaries that contain the majority of the rose plants. Most varieties of roses, however, are found in the border of the garden that is formed behind a row of chairs of several rows of standard roses followed by climbing roses. The species of roses in the rose garden are mostly labeled, the in the park dispersed shrub roses but not. In 2000 was in the People's Garden a 80-year-old rosebush from the garden of the birthplace of Karl Renner (former Austrian statesman) in Dolní Dunajovice by the Austrian-Czech Society planted in his memory and provided with a memorial plaque.

Der Baumbestand wird wie in jedem Nutzgarten regelmäßig nachgepflanzt. Herausragend ist aber die Morgenländische Platane (Platanus orientalis) im Zentrum des Gartens. Sie hat eine Höhe und auch einen Kronendurchmesser von je 20 m und einen Brustumfang von 3,6 m. Dieser Baum ist einzeln als Naturdenkmal ausgewiesen (Nr. 376).
Rosengarten und Blumenschmuck
Zwischen dem Eingang beim Burgtheater und dem Grillparzer-Denkmal befindet sich ein Rosengarten mit über 3000 Rosensträuchern von mehr als 200 Rosensorten. In der Mitte des Rosengartens sind von Buchsbaumhecken umrahmte Rosenbeete angelegt, die den Großteil der Rosenpflanzen enthalten. Die meisten Rosensorten sind allerdings in der Umrandung des Gartens zu finden, die hinter einer Stuhlreihe von mehreren Reihen Hochstammrosen gefolgt von Schlingrosen gebildet wird. Die Rosensorten im Rosengarten sind großteils beschildert, die im Park verteilten Strauchrosen dagegen nicht. Im Jahr 2000 wurde im Volksgarten ein rund 80-jähriger Rosenstrauch aus dem Garten des Geburtshauses von Karl Renner in Dolní Dunajovice durch die österreichisch-tschechische Gesellschaft zu dessen Gedenken gepflanzt und mit einer Gedenktafel versehen.
Digital technology has changed the business of architecture. The traditional designer-engineer-contractor model is becoming out of date. New production techniques are entering the building industry: mass-production of building elements, digital fabrication, DIY. New scales, both bigger and smaller, challenge the position and role of the designer. Design itself is rapidly becoming more and more democratic and community based.
Architecture is in essence one of the best-suited design disciplines for ‘open source design’: it is technically relatively simple, and it has a history of architects and builders copying elements of earlier works. And what do architects do these days? Are they designers of buildings? Of ideas? Of processes? Of communities? Are they consultants, coaches, activists, builders, members, or are they simply unemployed? Do architects initiate, share, invest? Where is the architect’s knowledge presently of greatest necessity and value? Can architects show a new value proposition to the marketplace? Who does the architect work for? Clients? Consumers?
Within the framework of A Mies for All, a seminar at Het Nieuwe Instituut explored the new business models for architects that come from these changes. A panel of Dragons (entrepreneurs, investors and business consultants) commented on the feasibility of the following business cases.
SPEAKERS AND FORMAT
In this seminar, architects presented the business cases that form the basis of their advanced practices:
Filson Rohrbacher presented AtFab, a design company that develops content for emergent, networked digital manufacturing platforms.
Ben van Berkel presented UN Studio’s new organization as an open-source knowledge-based practice operating projects around four specialized Knowledge Platforms.
Jelle Feringa presented his factory in Denmark, where robotic production lines produce buildings directly from code.
Artist Pierre Bismuth and Matthijs Bouw (One Architecture) talked about various possible business models that are embedded in A Mies for All, a company that that will make the endless reproduction of iconic architecture – in this case the Farnsworth House – possible.

Extract from City of Nanaimo Heritage Register:
Built in 1951, City Hall is an excellent example of and Nanaimo's first venture into the International style. Designed to project progress and modernity, the International style was the appropriate choice for a municipality striving to overcome its image as a dirty, depressed coal town and present itself as a forward looking city. A sympathetic 1970 addition on the north side respects the original building's architectural integrity. The exterior and interior are largely intact.
City Hall is significant because of its association with architect Thomas B. McArravy. One of the pioneers of the use of modernism on Vancouver Island, McArravy was Nanaimo's most prominent architect for many years. City Hall has survived in near pristine condition, a testament to the integrity of the original design and McArravy's skill.
Architect McArravy was born in Glasgow in 1900; after moving to Canada he served four years at the Wallace Shipyards in North Vancouver, first as a loftsman and later in the drawing office. Starting in 1921 he started work as an indentured student in the offices of Gardiner & Mercer in Vancouver. He later moved to Nanaimo, although he was in Vancouver during the war years. As early as 1940 McArravy was preparing plans for this building; these first schemes bear a remarkable similarity to what was actually built after the war.
The gardens at the side and front of City Hill were designed at the same time as the building and are integral parts of the site?s value. Situated on a high rocky outcropping, the extensively landscaped grounds soften the rigid formality of the building?s architecture. The winding roadway that leads to the front entry provides a welcoming entrance, appropriate to a public building.

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third-most-populous city in the United States. With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second-most-populous county in the US, with a small portion of the northwest side of the city extending into DuPage County near O'Hare Airport. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland. At nearly 10 million people, the metropolitan area is the third most populous in the United States.
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, less than 30 years after the great fire, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation.

The Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH), also known as The Field Museum, is a natural history museum in Chicago, Illinois, and is one of the largest such museums in the world. The museum maintains its status as a premier natural-history museum through the size and quality of its educational and scientific programs, as well as due to its extensive scientific-specimen and artifact collections. The diverse, high-quality permanent exhibitions, which attract up to two million visitors annually, range from the earliest fossils to past and current cultures from around the world to interactive programming demonstrating today's urgent conservation needs. The museum is named in honor of its first major benefactor, the department-store magnate Marshall Field. The museum and its collections originated from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition and the artifacts displayed at the fair.
The museum maintains a temporary exhibition program of traveling shows as well as in-house produced topical exhibitions. The professional staff maintains collections of over 24 million specimens and objects that provide the basis for the museum’s scientific-research programs. These collections include the full range of existing biodiversity, gems, meteorites, fossils, and rich anthropological collections and cultural artifacts from around the globe. The museum's library, which contains over 275,000 books, journals, and photo archives focused on biological systematics, evolutionary biology, geology, archaeology, ethnology and material culture, supports the museum’s academic-research faculty and exhibit development. The academic faculty and scientific staff engage in field expeditions, in biodiversity and cultural research on every continent, in local and foreign student training, and in stewardship of the rich specimen and artifact collections. They work in close collaboration with public programming exhibitions and education initiatives.

Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 as a symbol of power and influence and intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.
The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

Designed to blend natural environments and architecture, the Park Güell is a public park system composed of gardens and architecture located on Carmel Hill, in Barcelona, Catalonia Spain. With future urbanization in mind, Eusebi Güell assigned the design of the park to Antoni Gaudí, a renowned local architect. The park was built between 1900 and 1914 and was officially opened as a public park in 1926. In 1984, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site under "Works of Antoni Gaudí"

Neuf-Brisach (German: Neubreisach) is a fortified town and commune of the department of Haut-Rhin in the French region of Alsace. The fortified town was intended to guard the border between France and the Holy Roman Empire and, subsequently the German states. It was built after the peace of Ryswick, in 1697, that resulted in the loss to France of the town of Breisach, on the opposite bank of the Rhine. The town's name means New Breisach. Today the town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Work began on the fortified town in 1698, to plans drawn by Vauban, a military engineer at the service of Louis XIV. Vauban died in 1707 and this, his last work, was completed by Louis de Cormontaigne. The city's layout was that of an 'ideal city', as was popular at the time, with a regular square grid street pattern inside an octagonal fortification. Generous space was given to a central square across the four blocks at the middle, flanked by an impressive church. Individual blocks were offered for private development, either as affluent houses in private gardens, or as properties for commercial rent. Simpler housing was provided in long tenement blocks, built inside each curtain wall, which also had the effect of shielding the better houses from the risk of cannon fire. Access was provided by large gateways in the principal four curtain walls.
The fortifications are Vauban's final work and the culmination of his 'Third System'. There are two lines of defence, an inner enceinte de sûreté, the bastion wall around the city, and an outer enceinte de combat, a system of concentric star-shaped earthworks. The curtain wall was largely octagonal, with each flank separated roughly into three and the outer bastion projecting slightly, so as to flank the centre of the walls. Each corner had a raised outwardly projecting pentagonal bastion tower, the highest points of the system. The outer earthworks were deep and occupied a greater area than the city itself. The inner walls were surrounded by tenailles before the centres of the curtain walls and counterguards before the bastions. In front of the centre of each curtain face was a large tetrahedral ravelin, those in front of the gateways also being topped by a reduit to the rear. Outside all of these earthworks was a covered way.
The city suffered damage in World War II, but still represents a very clear example of the latest in fortification work at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
In 2008, the ville neuve of Neuf-Brisach was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the Fortifications of Vauban group (Wikipedia).
The ancient Mayan city of Palenque is one of the World's greatest archaeological sites, a stunning testament to the skill of the Maya in art and architecture.
The city flourished between 226BC and 1123AD, after which time it was abandoned and was engulfed by the surrounding jungle, and all but disappeared for centuries. The greatest monuments of the city were released from their foliate covering in the late 19th century, but it is estimated that little more than 10% of the overall site has been cleared and properly excavated, and numerous other smaller structures remain choked in the wilderness beyond.
The main features of the cleared site are the towering temples, consisting of shrines built atop huge pyramid-like stepped terraces, most of which can still be ascended and explored by visitors (except for the particularly fine Temple of the Inscriptions).
At the heart of the complex is the huge ruined Palace, again raised on terraces and crowned by a distinctive tower, (looking as much like a colonial church bell-tower than a ancient Mayan structure). The pillars and corridors of the upper levels are adorned by fragments of the original stucco relief decoration, reminding us that what appears now as great swathes of rubble wall was originally covered by wonderfully complex sculptural decoration, all originally brightly painted, which must have been spectacular and dazzlingly coloured. We should always bare in mind that however structurally complete such ancient temples might appear, their original magnificence is a further spectacle still that we can only imagine.
The unforgettable ruins of Palenque and their stunning natural setting are one of the real highlights of a visit to Mexico, and should not be missed.
Chi Lin Nunnery (traditional Chinese: 志蓮淨苑) is a large Buddhist temple complex located in Diamond Hill, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Covering a space of more than 33,000 square meters, the temple complex includes a nunnery, temple halls, Chinese gardens, visitor's hostels and a vegetarian restaurant. The temple hall have statues of the Sakyamuni Buddha, the goddess of mercy Guanyin and other bodhisattvas. These statues are made from gold, clay, wood and stone.
The Chi Lin Nunnery was founded in 1934 but was rebuilt in 1990 following the style of Tang Dynasty traditional Chinese architecture. The present-day buildings are wood frame buildings built without the use of any iron nails. This construction is based on traditional Chinese architectural techniques dating from the Tang Dynasty that uses special interlocking systems cut into the wood to hold them in place. The Chi Lin Nunnery buildings are the only buildings to be built in this style in modern day Hong Kong.

Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library is an American estate and museum in Winterthur, Delaware. As of 2011 it houses one of the most important collections of Americana in the United States of America. It was the former home of Henry Francis du Pont (1880–1969), a renowned antiques collector and horticulturist. Until recently, it was known as the "Henry Francis DuPont Winterthur Museum".
In the early 20th century, H. F. du Pont and his father, Henry Algernon du Pont, designed Winterthur in the spirit of 18th- and 19th-century European country houses. The younger du Pont added to the home many times thereafter, increasing its number of rooms by nearly sixfold. After he established the main building as a public museum in 1951, he moved to a smaller building on the estate.
Winterthur is situated on 979 acres (396 ha), near Brandywine Creek, with 60 acres (24 ha) of naturalistic gardens. It had 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) and a premier dairy cattle herd when du Pont operated it as a country estate.
Initially a collector of European art and decorative arts in the late 1920s, H. F. du Pont became interested in American art and antiques. Subsequently, he became a highly prominent collector of American decorative arts, building on the Winterthur estate to house his collection, conservation laboratories, and administrative offices.
The museum has 175 period-room displays and approximately 85,000 objects. Most rooms are open to the public on small, guided tours. The collection spans more than two centuries of American decorative arts, notably from 1640 to 1860, and contains some of the most important pieces of American furniture and fine art. The Winterthur Library includes more than 87,000 volumes and approximately 500,000 manuscripts and images, mostly related to American history, decorative arts, and architecture. The facility also houses extensive conservation, research, and education facilities.
In the 1990s, more informal museum galleries were opened in a new building adjacent to the main house; it features special rotating and permanent exhibits. The museum also is home to the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture and the Winterthur/University of Delaware Art Conservation program.
The museum was named for the city of Winterthur (in Switzerland), the ancestral home of Jacques Antoine Bidermann, a son-in-law of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of the du Pont family and fortune in the United States.
St Michael Stanton Harcourt is a treasury of medieval art and architecture. The present building is Noman in origin remodelled in the C13 when transepts were added and the chancel enlarged. The Norman features c. 1150 include the north and south doorways. The chancel c. 1250 has three graduated lancets with internal clustered shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. In the C15 the Harcourt chapel was built on the south side of the chancel, c.1470 sometimes attributed to William Orchard. The nave roof is of c. 1400. The font was made in 1833, A rare mid C13 chancel screen has C15 squints pierced through it and a C15 painting of a saint. On the north wall of the chancel is part of the shrine of St Edburg removed from Bicester Priory by Sir James Harcourt during the Dissolution. The upper part is 1294-1317 while the base is constructed from a C15 tomb-chest, Statues of Field Marshal William Earl and Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Effigy thought to be Maud, wife of Sir Thomas Harcourt c.1400 in the chancel. In the Harcourt Chapel Sir Robert Harcourt d. 1471 and wife. Sir Robert Harcourt knight c.1490. In the south transept tomb-chest, Sir Simon Harcourt d. 1547. Large Baroque wall-monument to Sir Philip Harcourt and wife. Several C15 and C16 brasses and some medieval stained glass. Next to the church Pope's tower c. 1460-71. Banner thought to have been used at the Battle of Bosworth.

Exterior architecture
The Landhaus (Regional Parliament) shows itself - although planned as a castle - today more like a palace due to its horseshoe-shaped floor plan. West and south sides of the building looks very impressive and closed, one of the originally two rustic portals on the west side was walled up. Through the only portal you now enter the Landhaushof (courtyard), which allows north and south side with wide stairs the climb to the arcade passage and the Grand Coat of Arms Hall. Especially here in the yard, as how often in Klagenfurt at the lake Wörthersee (eg at the Lindworm), chlorite schist stone from near Kreuzbergl can be found. The east side of the courtyard is open, the opposite building of the former Salt office now houses a hotel.
The castle-like building does not correspond to any classical rule of architecture: The portal is not centrally located on the west side as well as the entrance to the Arms Hall, the towers are designed differently, the arcades of the stairs "bump" on the tower walls. But this seems to be the special appeal of the building, which is why Wilhelm Pinder has called the Landhaus one of the proudest post-medieval urban buildings in the German-speaking world.
A curious detail in the Landhaus courtyard is a small stone staircase, which was originally used for easier mounting of horses and has been preserved to this day. In 1998, a controversial monument to the "site of the *) Carinthian unity" was built in the Landhaus courtyard. South of the Landhaus is located in the adjacent park a designed by Kiki Kogelnik fountain called The Song.

*) The Carinthian plebiscite (German: Kärntner Volksabstimmung, Slovene: Koroški plebiscit) was held on 10 October 1920 in the area predominantly settled by Carinthian Slovenes. It determined the final southern border between the Republic of Austria and the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) after World War I.
Baubeschreibung
Außenarchitektur
Das Landhaus zeigt sich – obwohl als Burg geplant – heute durch seinen hufeisenförmigen Grundriss mehr wie ein Schloss. West- und südseitig wirkt der Bau sehr eindrucksvoll und geschlossen, von den ursprünglich zwei Rustikaportalen auf der Westseite wurde eines zugemauert. Durch das einzige Portal betritt man nun den Landhaushof, der nord- und südseitig mit breiten Stiegen den Aufstieg zum Arkadengang und dem Großen Wappensaal ermöglicht. Besonders hier im Hof findet sich wie oft in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee (z. B. beim Lindwurm) Chloritschieferstein vom nahen Kreuzbergl. Ostseitig ist der Hof offen, das gegenüberliegende Gebäude des ehemaligen Salzamtes beherbergt heute ein Hotel.
Der schlossähnliche Bau entspricht keiner klassischen Regel der Architektur: Das Portal ist nicht mittig an der Westseite angebracht ebenso wenig wie der Eingang zum Wappensaal, die Türme sind unterschiedlich gestaltet, die Arkaden der Stiegen „stoßen“ an die Turmwände. Doch dies scheint gerade den besonderen Reiz des Gebäudes auszumachen, weshalb Wilhelm Pinder das Landhaus eines der stolzesten nachmittelalterlichen städtischen Bauten des deutschen Sprachraums genannt hat.
Ein kurioses Detail im Landhaushof ist eine kleine Steintreppe, die ursprünglich zum leichteren Besteigen der Pferde verwendet wurde und bis heute erhalten geblieben ist. Im Jahr 1998 wurde im Landhaushof ein umstrittenes Denkmal der „Stätte der Kärntner Einheit“ errichtet. Südlich des Landhauses befindet sich im nebenliegenden Park ein von Kiki Kogelnik gestalteter Brunnen mit dem Namen Der Gesang.
