Overlooking the town of Cascade, Maryland, stands the Germantown Church of God, an imposing example of Gothic Revival architecture. The Germantown Church was organized in 1870 as a mission of the Friends Creek Church. The first house of worship was erected in 1871, though the young congregation struggled to pay for the building, as records show that at the General Eldership in 1892 paid $200.00 to pay off the church's debt. However, during the early twentieth century, Germantown Church grew rapidly. In 1948, the cornerstone was laid for the present Gothic Revival church, which was completed in 1949 and has been greatly expanded in two phases in 1971 and 1996.

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.

Santa Chiara is a religious complex in Naples, Italy, that includes the church of Santa Chiara, a monastery, tombs and an archeological museum. The basilica church of Santa Chiara faces Via Benedetto Croce, which is the easternmost leg of Via Spaccanapoli. The church facade of Santa Chiara is diagonally across from the church of Gesù Nuovo.
Architecture
The double monastic complex was built in 1313–1340 by Queen Sancha of Majorca and her husband King Robert of Naples, who is also buried in the complex.[1] The original church was in Gotico Angioiano style, but was decorated in the 17th century in Baroque style by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. After the edifice was partially destroyed by a fire after the Allied bombings during World War II, it was brought back to the alleged original state by a disputed restoration, which was completed in 1953.
The large rectangular building is 110.5 m long inside the walls, and 33 m wide. The walls of the nave are 47.5 m tall, and the nave itself is 82 m long. There are nine lateral chapels on each side of the nave, the roofs of the chapels are vaulted, and they support the gallery that runs the length of the nave. Above the gallery are the lancet windows of the clerestory. An unusual feature of the building is that the lateral chapels are absorbed into the body of the church, giving Santa Chiara its distinctive rectangular appearance. Another unusual feature of the building is the fact that the church does not have an apse, after the lateral chapels there is a section of the church with the high altar in the centre, flanked by the rectangular friars’ choirs on either side. Behind the altar is the tomb of King Robert, behind that is a wall separating the main body of the church from the nuns' choir.[1]
The wall between the nave of the church and the retrochoir is penetrated by three screened grilles through which the nuns could observe the mass, while being invisible to anybody in the nave. There are also four windows in the wall which mirror the four windows on the exterior of the church. There is a large stained glass lancet window above the altar. Above this is a triangular pattern are three rose windows. At the apex of the point of the roof, above the level of the wooden beams of the ceiling is a fourth, smaller, rose window. The nuns choir is different in plan from the main body of the church, with two large piers supported by rib vaults dividing the space into three sections. Santa Chiara was the largest Clarissan church ever built and it was the first Clarissan church built where the nuns in their choir would have been able to view the performance of Mass.[1]
The bell tower, separated from the main edifice, was begun in 1328 but was completed only in Renaissance times.
Interior
Tomb of Robert of Anjou
Behind the main altar is the tomb of King Robert of Anjou, which was sculpted by Pacio and Giovanni Bertini in 1343.[2] In the side chapels are the tombs of the Bourbon king of Naples, Francis II and his consort Maria Sophie of Bavaria, as well as those of Queen Maria Christina of Savoy and of the national hero Salvo D'Acquisto (a carabiniere who sacrificed his life to save the lives of 22 civilian hostages during the Nazi occupation). The church was used, even before it was formally completed, to hold the relics of Saint Louis of Toulouse, elder brother of King Robert. One of these relics was the brain of St. Louis, in an ornate reliquary decorated with a crown Queen Sancha had donated in memory of her brother-in-law.[3]
Initially, the interior had a Gothic style, but reconstruction from 1742 to 1762 by Domenico Vaccaro, Gaetano Buonocore, and Giovanni del Gaizo, refurbished the interior in a Baroque style. The stuccoed ceiling was frescoed by a team of artists, including Francesco De Mura, Giuseppe Bonito, Sebastiano Conca, and Paolo de Maio. The floor was paved with a design by Ferdinando Fuga. Unfortunately much of the interior decoration was destroyed in the aerial bombardment of 1943.
On the counterfacade is the tomb of Antonio Penna, by Antonio Baboccio. In the Chapel of the Sacred Heart is the tomb of Raimondo de' Cabanni.
In the sixth chapel to the left, are 14th-century bas reliefs depicting the Martyrdom of the wife of Massenzio, while the seventh has a tomb of Louis, a son of Charles, Duke of Durazzo, another 14th-century work by the Florentine Pacio Bertini.
To the right of the presbytery is access to the Baroque sacristy with frescoes from 1692. Through the sacristy, one can reach the Choir of the Nuns. The choir houses fragments of frescoes depicting Biblical Stories by Giotto.
Majolica Cloister
Cloister
The cloister of the Clarisses is known for the unique addition of majolica tiles, added in 1742 by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro in Rococò style. The brash color floral decoration makes this cloister, with octagonal columns in pergola-like structure, likely unique and would seem to clash with the introspective world of cloistered nuns. The cloister arcades are also decorated by frescoes, now much degraded.
Museum
The museum houses information on the history of the church, archaeological findings and materials remaining after the fire that destroyed part of the church in 1943. It also has a collection of baroque presepi (nativity scenes).

The Real Estate Twins
The Hibbards have been working for 3 years on this contemporary reinterpretation of their Schreiber home, taking a completely DIY approach to both design and construction. The home was purchased from an original homeowner in 2005, and the home was remarkably intact but in pretty rough shape. They doubled the size of their kitchen by enclosing their back patio with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall. The custom kitchen cabinetry is by Hibbard Custom Cabinets, and the ceiling has been treated with Baltic birch veneer plywood to draw the eye upward and continue the warmth of wood. The wall between the entryway and former dining room has been removed to create better flow toward their new indoor/outdoor fireplace.
Featuring one of the biggest lots in Village Grove at over 13,000 square feet, the front yard includes a welcoming courtyard area, and the back yard features an all-new detached cabana with original aqua slide. The Pebbletec flooring material unifies indoors and out.
This home blends the best of Midcentury Modern with Contemporary Modern design in furnishings, color palette and architecture. The home has also been given a total system upgrade including: windows, foam roof, electrical, plumbing and mechanicals, resulting in energy savings.

Canon City is a town with a lot of Victorian/Territorial architecture. The area is also home to most of Colorado's prisons and the primary BLM office for southern Colorado.
At the Museum of Colorado Prisons their motto is: Stop and do time with us! The Penitentiary Museum, in the original Colorado Penitentiary, is a demonstration of life in an era when justice was sure and swift. Alferd Packer, the original "Hannibal the Cannibal," was one of the Colorado Penitentiary's more notorious prisoners. It was also convict labor chain gangs who built Skyline Drive, rising some 800 feet above Canon City, in the early 1900's.

Different styles of architecture.
The white box is a general office block housing amongst other things the Chicago Loop Express DMV. To the right is the First United Methodist Church. Further to the right is the diminutive home of Fort Dearborn Land Title amongst others. Though not visible from here, that building is actually built as a hollow square with the interior office space open to a quadrangle.
Windsor Castle is a medieval castle and royal residence in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, notable for its long association with the British royal family and for its architecture. The original castle was built after the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I it has been used by a succession of monarchs and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish, early 19th-century State Apartments are architecturally significant, described by art historian Hugh Roberts as "a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste". The castle includes the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by historian John Robinson to be "one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic" design. More than five hundred people live and work in Windsor, making it the largest inhabited castle in the world.

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.
Gartenarchitektur

Baumbestand
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.

Renmin Square is the heart of the modern metropolis of Shanghai and the perfect place to appreciate the city's recent transformation with stunning, showpiece modern architecture. The scale of the great shiny glass monoliths is awe inspiring and the highly individualistic design of each tower block makes it a landmark rather than the uniform slabs seen in so much late 20th century urban planning.
speaking about her quilts and how empowered they all feel now that they have been acknowledged as makers of wonderful art.
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"
