We traveled to WI this week end for our annual Frank Lloyd Wright and LIKE tour.
A group of architecture lovers tours existing homes...old and new of FLW and his followers.
We saw homes by Fritz, Montooth, Weston, Dahlin, and buildings by FLW himself.
But my most intriguing photo was found on the back of an old truck. Many rusted metal objects, piled on top of each other...formed this abstraction for me
I used Color harmonies in Adjustments from ELEMENTS.

Residential building 'Witte de With', named after a well known Dutch admiral, who sailed across the world in his time. His nickname was Dubbelwit (Double White), because of obvious reasons ;-)
This building is located in a newly developed part of Rotterdam called Lloyd's Quarter. Very interesting for architecture lovers ;-)

To Architecture lovers, and especially those who appreciate Modernism, Art Nouveau and Art Déco, Barcelona is, as everybody knows, a paradise. Each street and corner have the potential to enchant with a little architectural detail.
Then there's Gaudi’s world (Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, La Sagrada Família, Casa Guell, Parc Guell, Finca Guell). More than just enjoying the beauty of these works of Art, it's interesting to understand them and learn something about the intentions of their author.
Of course, he wanted to convey Nature and natural forms in architectural form, but that's just the more apparent aspect. He was a creative soul and a perfectionist, very detail-oriented, always hiding some secret meaning behind each trace. Finding those traces is a treasure hunt of sorts.

É nítido que ele pretendia apresentar a Natureza e as formas naturais em forma arquitectónica, mas esse é apenas o aspecto mais evidente do seu génio. Gaudi era uma alma criativa e também um extremo perfeccionista, obcecado com detalhes, sempre a esconder algum significado obscuro ou associação não aparente no mais ínfimo pormenor. Encontrar esses traços é uma espécie de caça ao tesouro para aqueles que se interessem pelo tema.
Contemporary architecture lovers are often fascinated by the profusion of forms there are in London. Definitely one of the aspects that attracted me the most in the city.

Le Touquet
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, commonly referred to as Le Touquet, is a commune near Etaples, in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It has a population of 5,355 but welcomes up to 250,000 people during the summer.
Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France, the playground of rich Parisians (hence its full name), with many luxury hotels.
Since the mid-1990's, Le Touquet’s villas have become extremely fashionable amongst architecture lovers throughout Europe who have rediscovered the 'folie' of seaside architecture of both the Roaring Twenties and the 1930's.
Town Trails
Today the town tourist office offers organised trails to see outstanding examples of 19th and 20th century domestic architecture, which are now preserved and protected.
Le Touquet's Early Years
In the 19th. century it was an area of wild sand dunes and forest - part of a hunting estate.
In 1902 Allen Stoneham and John Whitley bought the land through their company Le Touquet Syndicate Ltd., and were instrumental in developing the town into a golf and gambling resort.
It became known as “Paris by the Sea”, and strict building regulations encouraged the most talented architects to create imaginative and innovative developments. The most famous local architect is Louis Quetelart.
The Great War
During most of World War I, Le Touquet was the home of the Duchess of Westminster's (No 1 British Red Cross Society) Hospital for wounded British troops.
The No. 2 Canadian Stationary Hospital had the distinction of being the first Canadian Unit to land on French soil. No. 2 Stationary opened at the Hotel du Golf at Le Touquet on November 27, 1914.
All the 142 British Commonwealth war graves in Le Touquet's Communal Cemetery are from the hospitals. In the same cemetery a wooden obelisk was erected by the commune's lifeboatmen in honour of the British.
H. G. Wells
In 1909, H. G. Wells and Amber Reeves fled to Le Touquet in an abortive elopement. The two returned to Britain after a number of weeks, though Amber later gave birth to Wells's daughter, Anna-Jane Blanco White, after the relationship ended.
Noël Coward
In the 1920's, Noël Coward and the 'smart set' from England spent weekends here, and commissioned more outstanding villa designs echoing traditional and ultra-modern domestic styles.

P. G. Wodehouse lived in Le Touquet from 1934 to 1939.
Miami short description
Maybe you don’t believe it, but Miami it more than sunny beaches and fabulous nightclubs. The city has a rich history, and for example, if you didn’t know, it got its name from one of the native tribes that populated the area in the 1600 and 1700s, the Mayaimi.
Miami became an official city only in 1896, after Julia Ruttle, a local businesswoman, persuaded one railroad mogul to enlarge into the region, making Miami the only significant US city to be founded by a woman.
Miami Beach, on the other hand, was incorporated in 1915, and it was founded in a small area. The deeper water, however, was excavated around it, and soil was added to the nearby area to develop a livable land, as the beach was artificially created.
For all the architecture lovers, Miami Beach is housing the biggest collection of Art Deco style. Also, the Port of Miami is known as the Cruise Capital of the World.
Visit Miami
Moreover, Miami has been for many decades a holiday destination for the famous or the infamous figures. For example, in 1929, Al Capone decided to buy a mansion on the area’s Palm Island.
If you like to walk every day, you’ll find here more than 800 parks, being the only US city surrounded by Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park. For fast food lovers, this one is going to surprise you or impress you.
In 1954, Burger's King opened its doors to the world for the first time in Miami, introducing later the famous Whopper Burger. tipshire.com/visit-miami/
Every image is a gentle negotiation between the seen and the unseen.
Black and white portraits and minimalist places dissolve into a calm, lucid silence—where light sculpts the hidden side of the soul and architecture reveals its poetic geometry.
Moments suspended between consciousness and dream, memory and presence, a journey in the language of introspective visual and photographic poetry.
In ogni immagine si consuma una silenziosa trattativa tra visibile e invisibile.
I ritratti in bianco e nero e i luoghi minimali si dissolvono in un silenzio lucido—dove la luce scolpisce il lato nascosto dell’anima e l’architettura rivela la sua geometria poetica.
Attimi sospesi tra conscio e sogno, memoria e presenza, un viaggio nel linguaggio dell’introspezione visiva e della poesia fotografica.

The Hall of Private Audiences in the Red Fort, Delhi, India
35mm film scan
Diwan-i-Khas, also known as the "Hall of Private Audience," is a historic building located in New Delhi, the capital city of India. It is a part of the larger Red Fort complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a significant historical landmark in Delhi.
Diwan-i-Khas was constructed during the reign of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, in the mid-17th century. It served as a private audience hall where the emperor would meet with his high-ranking officials, nobles, and foreign ambassadors for private and confidential discussions. The hall was also used for formal receptions, important ceremonies, and state functions.
The architecture of Diwan-i-Khas is a fine example of Mughal architectural style, characterized by intricate carvings, inlay work, and the use of precious stones. The hall is made of red sandstone and is known for its elegant design and exquisite ornamentation. The most iconic feature of Diwan-i-Khas is the Peacock Throne, which was a grand throne made of gold and studded with precious gems, including diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The Peacock Throne was once housed in Diwan-i-Khas but was later taken away by Nadir Shah during his invasion of India in the 18th century and is now lost to history.
The interior of Diwan-i-Khas is adorned with beautiful floral patterns, calligraphy, and intricate designs. The ceiling of the hall is adorned with gold-plated stars and floral motifs. The pillars and arches are intricately carved with floral patterns, adding to the grandeur of the hall.
Diwan-i-Khas is considered an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of Mughal opulence and grandeur. Today, it is open to visitors as part of the Red Fort complex, and tourists can explore its halls, admire its exquisite artwork, and learn about its historical significance. The Red Fort complex also hosts a light and sound show in the evenings, which narrates the history of the fort and brings the past to life.
Visiting Diwan-i-Khas is a must for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in the rich heritage of Mughal architecture in India. It is a fascinating glimpse into the royal lifestyle of the Mughal emperors and their grandeur during the peak of their rule in India.
When designing this house, I was inspired by the idea of helping architecture lovers of moderate means achieve their dream of building their own house.
To Architecture lovers, and especially those who appreciate Modernism, Art Nouveau and Art Déco, Barcelona is, as everybody knows, a paradise. Each street and corner has the potential to enchant with a unique detail.
Then there's Gaudi’s world (Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, La Sagrada Família, Parc and Finca Guell). More than just enjoying the beauty of these works of Art, the most interesting aspect to us was trying to understand them and learn about the author's intentions.
Of course, he wanted to convey nature and natural forms in architectural form, but that's just the more apparent aspect. He was a creative soul and a perfectionist, very detail-oriented, always hiding some secret meaning behind each trace. Finding them became, to us, a special kind of treasure hunt.
La Sagrada Familia (in these photos) is one of the most outstanding examples of this “hunt for meaning”. Even standing on a never-ending construction site, the already finished areas and the details we were able to glimpse are magnificent.
