Behold the flatiron!

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

Arquidiócesis de Puebla
Iglesia del Espíritu Santo
Construida en 1578 por los Jesuitas y terminada en 1767. Lugar de entierro de la celebrada "China Poblana", personaje del siglo diecisiete.
En la sacristía de la iglesia se ve trabajo de marquetería en la tradición mudejar (ibero-musulmán). El pórtico estilo italiano se agregó en 1746.
Es uno de los templos de estilo barroco más bellos que existen en la República Mexicana; se puede observar los murales, la parte de atrás del presbiterio en donde se alojan los doce apóstoles, la parte superior de la cúpula central la cual ésta adornada por un fresco.
El edificio vecino(4 Sur No. 104) anteriormente era la universidad jesuita, ahora pertenece a la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. La iglesia se encuentra en Avenida 4 Sur No. 102.
One final view of the Pompidou Centre exterior to finish up this section. Designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, the building was completed in 1977, and in addition to the building, a large public square was also created, which has gone on to become one of the most intensively used public spaces in Paris.
Candi Pawon, Magelang, Jawa Tengah, Indonesia.
(Pawon Temple, Magelang, Central Java).
"On the left and right at the western outer wall of the Kalpataru tree relief, are niches with reliefs of Boddhisattvas and taras."
A Buddhist temple in Central Java, Indonesia. Located between two other Buddhist temples, Borobudur (1.75 km (1.09 mi) to the northeast) and Mendut (1.15 km (0.71 mi) to the southwest), Pawon is connected with the other two temples, all of which were built during the Sailendra dynasty (8th–9th centuries). Moens examines the detail and style of its carving this temple is slightly older than Borobudur. The temple slightly faces northwest and stands on a square base. Each sides of the stairs and the top of the gates are adorned with carved Kala-Makara, commonly found in classic Javanese temples. The outer wall of Pawon is carved with reliefs of boddhisattvas and taras. There are also reliefs of kalpataru (tree of life), flanked between Kinnara-Kinnari. The square chamber inside is empty with a square basin in the center of it. Rectangular small windows were found, probably for ventilation.
The roof section of is crowned with five small stupas and four small ratnas. Because of its relative simplicity, symmetry and harmony, the historians dubbed this small temple as "the jewel of Javanese temple architecture", in contrast with tall-slender East Javanese style counterparts as founds in later Singhasari and Majapahit period.
Ref. and suggested reading:
In 1543 work began on the house. The Tudor Tower on the east front dates from this period. The house contains an astonishing collection of art work, including the largest known van Dyke group portrait (of the 4th Earl and his family) and Rembrandt's Mother and has the added distinction of having had most of the state rooms designed by Inigo Jones, thought to be the first significant English architect
Presqu'ile | Place de la Comédie
A first theatre was built here by Soufflot during the 18th century. Nevertheless, the theatre soon became too small and a brand new one in a neo-classical style has been rebuilt.

1830-31.
At the beginning of the 1980s, out of age and not meeting the needs any more, the Opera had to be renewed.
Arch. Jean Nouvel
1986-93.
Outside the opera house, Nouvel only kept the outer walls. He also dug new underground levels and added a semi-cylindrical dome that is used by dancers. On the opera house front wall, 8 muses have been kept in place (Uranie, the 9th one was removed to respect the symmetry of the building).
Paris is full of flatiron or wedge shape buildings, some intersections have six or more ...a delight for some shutterbugs
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.
Next to Museum Fatahillah, there is a Puppet Museum or Museum Wayang.
Before it is known as the Puppet Museum, this building was called the Oud Batavia Museum or the Old Batavia Museum (opened in 1939 by the last Dutch Governor General in Batavia, Tjarda van Starkenborgh Staachouwer). The building is located in Jalan Pintu Besar Utara No.27.
In the past, on the plot of land where this museum is built, there were two churches: the New Holland Church or Nieuwe Hollandse Kerk (1736) and the Old Holland Church or Oude Hollandse Kerk (1640-1732). The New Holland Church was damaged due to an earthquake. Therefore, a new building was erected and this building is what we know now as the Puppet Museum.
As its name suggests, the museum houses a vast collection of Indonesian traditional puppets (wayang) from different places in Indonesia and even from abroad. Currently, the museum has around 5,147 puppets.

The River Thames runs through the heart of the Richmond borough for 21 miles linking Hampton Court Palace, Teddington Lock, Richmond town centre and Kew Gardens with central London. Travelling by river is a great way to see many of the attractions in the area from a different perspective, including Marble Hill House, Ham House and Hampton Court Palace.
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.
The remains of Newark Castle a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building in Newark On Trent, Nottinghamshire.
The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1966, and was marked a National Historic Landmark later that same year. The renovated entrance building was designed by architect Renzo Piano in 2006.
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.
