Between the temple of Constantine and the Colosseum on the west end of the forum is what’s left of the biggest Roman temple, the Temple of Venus and Rome. It was huge, 348 by 156 feet and 97 feet tall, with huge columns supporting a large open interior. It was built by Emperor Hadrian in the second century on top of what was once Nero’s villa.
Yes, it is bigger on the inside! Or at least I chose to build it that way.
There is not a single hinge or curved brick here, just 2 x 1 bricks and plates under a lot of stress.
I call architecture frozen music.

The Château de Chambord at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, is one of the most recognisable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France.
Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the Château de Blois and Amboise. The original design of the Château de Chambord is attributed, though with some doubt, to Domenico da Cortona; Leonardo da Vinci may also have been involved.
Chambord was altered considerably during the twenty-eight years of its construction (1519–1547), during which it was overseen on-site by Pierre Nepveu. With the château nearing completion, Francis showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archrival, Emperor Charles V, at Chambord.
Am 18. März 2010 wurde das neue Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin nach den Plänen von Daniel Libeskind (New York) eröffnet. Das 2.000 Sitzplätze umfassende Gebäude ist Teil einer kompletten Neubebauung am „Grand Canal Square“ in Dublin, die das 13.500 Quadratmeter große Theater sowie zwei Büro- und Geschäftshäuser mit 21.000 und 33.000 Quadratmeter Fläche umfassen. Die Pläne dafür gehen bis auf das Jahr 1992 zurück, mit dem Bau des Theaters wurde allerdings erst im Jahr 2007 begonnen.
Die Gebäude wurden unterschiedlich verkleidet, so hat das Theater unter anderem eine Verkleidung aus Edelstahl, um es von den kommerziellen Nutzungen zu unterscheiden. Eine neue Piazza vor dem Komplex verstehen die Architekten als große öffentliche Lobby, die eine Entsprechung im Inneren des Hauses findet; rote Stäbe markieren den Weg zum Eingang ins Gebäude, die Außenraumplanung stammt von Martha Schwartz.
