The Church of Our Lady is a Baroque Lutheran church in Dresden.
Arch. George Bähr

The church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders.
The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005.

The walls looking a little more yellow than leapfrog green. For the record, the floor may look pretty, but that's about it. Those brick tiles are not flat; they have stubbed many a toe. And it is a PAIN to clean because sponges on mops shred. I have to scrub it by hand...quite a workout that honestly doesn't happen as often as it should. Oops! Did I say that outloud?
Architects; Terry Farrell & Nicholas Grimshaw, late 60s.
(Farrell Grimshaw Partnership 1965-1980)
Younger generation may not know that these two architects started their joint practice in 1965 which lasted till 1980. They also worked on ‘service pods/clusters’ for London housing. Their work was innovative and high-tech, very much in the traditions of Archigram.
It is obvious now that both architects had their own routes plotted which they wanted to follow separately. Grimshaw continued with high-tech approach while Farrell was more eclectic and toyed with the post modernism for a while.
This apartment scheme was one of their earliest projects. The central load bearing core and perimeter columns allowed great deal of flexibility of floor plans. Ribbon windows with rounded corners gave good views over the Regents Park. Nick Grimshaw lived in one of the apartments for six years. This building was listed as Grade II in 2001.

The construction of the monastery and church began on 6 January 1501, and was completed 100 years later.
Manuel I selected the religious order of Hieronymite monks to occupy the monastery, whose role it was to pray for the King's eternal soul and to provide spiritual assistance to navigators and sailors who departed from the port of Restelo to discover lands around the world.
One of the tallest buildings in Tokyo. The 5th tallest actually. At night the blue cascading lights of the building is so gorgeous.
The Pender Islands Museum occupies a 1908 farmhouse at Roesland on North Pender Island, Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia, Canada.
A rather bleak building, once a pub, on an otherwise trendy shopping street. It's right next door to the excellent Dove pub. It's since reopened as a cafe with the same name (Market House), and then Stories bar, since Edgar's, and then permanently closed in 2018.
Address: 30 Broadway Market (formerly Pritchards Place).
Owner: Greene King (former); Belhaven (former); Ascot (former); Brent Walker (former); Watney Combe Reid (former).

From Wikipedia: The Pink Member of the Claron Formation is largely composed of easily eroded and relatively soft limestone. When rain combines with carbon dioxide it forms a weak solution of carbonic acid. This acid helps to slowly dissolve the limestone in the Claron Formation grain by grain. It is this process of chemical weathering that rounds the edges of hoodoos and gives them their lumpy and bulging profiles.
In the winter, melting snow seeps into cracks and joints and freezes at night. The force of the expanding ice helps to erode the rock of the Claron Formation. Over 200 of these freeze/thaw cycles occur each year in Bryce Canyon. Frost wedging exploits and widens the nearly vertical joint planes that divide the Pink Member of the Claron Formation.
Internal layers of mudstone, conglomerate and siltstone interrupt the limestone horizontally. These layers are more resistant to attack by carbonic acid and they can therefore act as protective capstones of fins, windows and hoodoos. Many of the more durable hoodoos are capped with a type of magnesium-rich limestone called dolomite. Dolomite dissolves at a much slower rate, and consequently protects the weaker limestone underneath.
However, the same processes that create hoodoos will also eventually destroy them. In the case of Bryce Canyon, the hoodoos' rate of erosion is 2–4 feet (0.6–1.3 m) every 100 years.
