This is another collection of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. Some I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.

Bristol Cathedral was for many centuries without a nave, something that the Victorians corrected with this masterpiece. View the other way from my last upload.

Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon: Mudéjar architecture can be found on the Iberian Peninsula. The Mudéjar style is the result from Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures living side by side. In 711 Arab rulers conquered Spain and remained in control of some parts of Spain for almost 800 years. They brought their culture and exerted a strong influence on Spanish architecture. The Mudéjar Architecture developed from the 12th century until the 16th century. The Mudéjar style is characterised by the use of brick as the main material, adorned with tilework, wood carving, plaster carving and ornamental metals. The Mudéjar style reached his peak in the city of Teruel in Spain. During the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries many Mudéjar style towers and churches were built in Teruel. Other important Mudéjar Architecture can be found in Toledo. The Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon gained the status as an UNESCO World Heritage in 1986.
Mudéjar architectuur van Aragon: Mudéjar architectuur komt alleen voor op het Iberisch Schiereiland en dan hoofdzakelijk in Spanje. Mudéjar architectuur is het resultaat van een samenleving, waarin christenen, moslims en joden naast elkaar woonden. De mudéjar architectuur en cultuur ontstond tijdens de middeleeuwen: Spanje werd in de 8ste eeuw door Arabische heersers bezet. Ze brachten hun cultuur mee en hebben de architectuur en cultuur in Spanje heel sterk beïnvloed. Vanaf de 11de eeuw nam de macht van deze heersers af, doordat christelijke vorsten Spanje heroverden. Joden, moslims en christenen bleven in eigen gemeenschappen wonen, uit culturele contacten ontwikkelde zich de mudéjarstijl in zowel architectuur, literatuur en sierkunst. Mudéjar architectuur kenmerkt zich door het gebruik van baksteen, hoefijzervormige- en blinde bogen, arabesken en keramiek. Het interieur werd uitbundig verrijkt met stucwerk, schilderwerk, inlegwerk van hout, keramiek en metalen ornamenten. De belangrijkste periode waarin de mudéjarkunst zich ontwikkelde was van de 12de tot de 16de eeuw. De meeste mudéjar architectuur in Teruel werd gebouwd in de 13de tot en met de 15de eeuw. Andere mudéjar architectuur is te vinden in de stad Toledo. De mudéjar architectuur van Aragon kreeg in 1986 de status Werelderfgoed van UNESCO en staat vermeld op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO als: Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon.
