The Church of the Annunciation of the Holy Virgin is the Orthodox cathedral of Kharkov city. First church with this name, with wooden belfry was built in 1655. In 1789 the erecting of new stone church began. It has been built in early classicism style. As flock multiplied with a growth of city in 1888 it was considered to erect a new much greater church aside of active one. It was intended to serve as main church of Kharkov city, i.e. as cathedral. Cathedral's project has been designed by architect of Kharkov Technology Institute prof Michail I. Lovtsoff. It was styled in quazi-Bizantyne style which was actually in a great vogue in Russia. The huge 300-feet belfry has been designed in quazi-Gothic style. The total price of building exceeded 400000 golden roubles. 7 mlns of bricks have been expended. The church was consecrated in 1901. Now it is the centre of Kharkov Diocese.
Modern architects tells that this kind of style is "eclecticizm". I know that "eclecticizm" is a sort of obscenity in architecture, it meens something ugly and awful. But I'm definitely not a specialist ina branch of arcitecture. And for my non-educated point of view this cathedral is looking nice and slim, even despite it's monstruos dimensions
This Dutch pier (in Scheveningen Holland) opened in 1961 and was designed by the Dutch architects Huig Maaskant, Dick C. Apon en D. Dijk. They had been working on the it for 6 years..
In 1991 the dutch hotel and restaurant firm 'van der Valk' bought it for 1 guilder, promising they would make it back to what it was...
On the pier there are some shops, a restaurant, a casino, and there is a 40m high tower for the great view and for bungee jumping.

By the first half of the 19th Century, the churchyard around St Woolos Cathedral was overcrowded, noisome and unhealthy with broken coffins and bodies showing above the ground. Land was obtained from the Tredegar Estate for a municipal cemetery, and the first interment was in July 1854, making St Woolos the oldest public cemetery in Britain. Despite government legislation governing such public cemeteries, Roman Catholics were excluded for some time from the cemetery. The cemetery has been used for a Dr Who location.
Barnstaple is the main town of North Devon, England, and possibly the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. It is a former river-port, located at the lowest crossing-point of the River Taw, flowing into the Bristol Channel.
From the 14th century, it was licensed to export wool, since the merchants claimed that the town had been declared a free borough in Saxon times. This brought great wealth to Barnstaple, whose town centre still preserves a medieval layout and character. Later the town became an importer of Irish wool, but its harbour silted up, and it developed other industries, such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills. Its Victorian market survives, with its high glass and timber roof on iron columns. Barnstaple railway station is the terminus of a branch line from Exeter, known as the Tarka Line.

The Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad Station (AKA the Coudersport Depot) was a railroad station in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. Built in 1899 and opened in January 1900 during the lumber industry boom in Potter County. When the lumber ran out, the railroad's business decreased. The station was abandoned in 1970 and was unoccupied until 1975, when the borough of Coudersport purchased it. The borough restored it and uses the building for office space. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1976.

The Kamishamusho (上社務所), also known as the Kitou-den, and formerly known as Goma-do, located on the right side of Yōmei-mon at Tōshō-gū, is the hall where the Chief Buddhist priest used to pray for world peace during the Edo Period. Beautifully decorated in black, gold and vermilion, it is used for ritual ceremonies and weddings today.
Nikkō Tōshō-gū (日光東照宮) is a lavishly decorated shrine complex consisting of more than a dozen Shinto and Buddhist buildings set in a beautiful forest. It was initially built during the Edo period in 1617 by Tokugawa Hidetada (徳川 秀忠), the second shogun, as a simple mausoleum for his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川 家康) (1543-1615), the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Ieyasu was buried on Mount Kunozan on his death in 1616, but according to his testament, his remains were to be moved to their last resting place at Nikko. It was enlarged during the first half of the 187th century by Ieyasu’s grandson, Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川 家光), the third shogun. Some 15,000 craftsmen were employed on the construction of the Toshogu Shrine, most of them coming from Kyoto and Nara, where there was a great flowering of architecture at that period. The result was a complex of buildings with an over-lavish profusion of decoration, incorporating all the sumptuousness of the preceding Momoyama period.
Today the shrine is dedicated to the spirits of of Ieyasu and two other of Japan's most influential historical personalities—Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉) (1536-1598), a daimyo (territorial lord) in the Sengoku period who unified political factions of Japan; and Minamoto no Yorimoto (源 頼朝) (1147-1199), the founder and the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, ruling from 1192 until 1199.
Together with Rinnō-ji and Futarasan Shrine, Tōshō-gū forms the Shrines and Temples of Nikkō UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.

This building is still in use as a hotel but what not many people know is a church and cemetary sat on this spot. The church was gone by the time they wanted to put up the hotel in the late 1960s but the cemetary was still there. The graves were dug up and moved where i don't know. I have photos of the church yard when i find them i'll be sure to put them on.
More of the same: this should hopefully give a tiny flavour of the place.
During my time here (at a conference) I didn't meet anyone else who had anything good to say about the building. And, y'know, I'd be hard pressed to say it's a masterpiece of function. But who needs function with form like this? It's daring, it's different ... and, to me, it's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
