MuCEM + Fort Saint-Jean, Marseille, France - 2013 -Architects: Rudy Ricciotti and C+T architecture
Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum.
Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a free breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilizations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.
The tectonic choice of an exceptional concrete coming from the latest research by French industry, reducing the dimensions to little more than skin and bones, will affirm a mineral script under the high ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean. This sole material in the colour of dust, matt, crushed by the light, distant from the brilliance and technological consumerism, will commend the dense and the delicate. The MuCEM sees itself evanescent in a landscape of stone and Orientalist through its fanning shadows.
IMG_1179r Built 1614 as link between Doge's Palace and New Prisons. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone, has windows with stone bars, and passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison (Prigioni Nuove) to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was designed by Antonio Contino (whose uncle Antonio da Ponte had designed the Rialto Bridge) and was built in 1600. The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge's name, given by Lord Byron as a translation from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri" in the 19th century comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals. In addition, little could be seen from inside the bridge due to the stone grills covering the windows.
According to a local legend, lovers will be granted eternal love and bliss if they kiss on a gondola at sunset, under the Bridge of Sighs, as the bells of St Mark's Campanile toll.

This is one of the views from inside the "Forum mall" in Hyderabad. The architectural views are amazing and the building is really big. It didn't take long for security to spot me and to tell me that I couldn't take any pictures. I told them it was just for fun but at least they let me keep one of the images that I took and here I'm sharing it with you all.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

A remarkable volume consisting of a series of photographs of completed and proposed schemes developed by the Arndale Property Trust Ltd of Bradford, West Yorkshire, but whose influence was nationwide and indeed, in the case of their Australian develoments, worldwide. It is not dated but, given the schemes shown and their status I would say c1965.
Most British residents of 'a certain age' will recall Arndale Centres - the most lasting legacy of this development company that grew out of post-WW2 land acquisition and redevelopment opportunities. The name is a portmanteau, adopted when the company was formed in 1950, from the names of the founders - Arnold Hagenbach and Sam Chippendale. Their primary function was the redevelopment of central areas of towns and cities - those planned on comprehensive lines 'as suggested by the Ministry of Housing & Local Government but also more 'local' schemes where Arndale worked 'in partnership' with the local authority. These latter schemes were possibly where they 'scored' as many local authorities lacked the capital to acquire properties for comprehensive redevelopment whereas Arndale's developers pockets were deeper and more flexible.
The early schemes were often redeveloments along existing street lines that re-institued shops often with offices to lease above, but, as the Sixties appeared, and following on from UK 'New Town' precinct developments and examples from the US, Arndale started to develop larger schemes of enclosed shopping malls and centres. Their largest, and probably greatest triumph, was that of the Arndale Centre in Manchester - a huge centre that took a very large chunk out of the existing city centre and that eradicated entire streets and street pattern.
When opened, and for many years after, Arndale's were highly successful. They often insisted on having some larger stores and 'anchor' tenants - such as F W Woolworth or Boots - to make schemes both worthwhile and to attract other smaller businesses and trade. They were seen as beneficial - sweeping away the old when Victorian buildings were regarded as 'tired' and much war damaged property was still extant. Now, with the benefit if hindsight Arndale's - and their competitors by other similar property companies - are seen as having been the first step in the homoginisation of the High Street. The architectural and build qualities were often not that high and the structures aged badly quite quickly. Many are now, in turn, being re-developed themselves. But, they play an important role in Britain's post-war social and economic history and the name is still familiar over 70 years on.
These two views, by architectural watercolourist Peter Sainsbury, show the in-development Arndale Centre in the Yorkshire town of Doncaster. As noted, Arndale's had started to buy up property on the site bounded by Frenchgate and St. Sepulchre Gate in 1959 and this large development finally opened on 4 October 1968 - wiping out a large chunk of the old street pattern of Doncaster. In recent years it has been refurnished and extended, to include a new transport interchange, and was renamed the Frenchgate Centre. As can be seen the two major anchors were major department stores both of which have now gone from the UK's High Streets - Littlewood's and British Home Stores.
The watercolours are marvelllous depictions of their age - the brave new world of Doncaster! - and show the very brutalist style of external architecture that many Arndale Centres used.

Różnorodna architektura. Widok z pl. Grzybowskiego w Warszawie. Na pierwszym planie Kościół pw. Wszystkich Świętych (XIX w.), po lewej Pałac Kultury i Nauki (socrealizm), w głębi nowoczesne "drapacze chmur". / The diverse architecture. View from pl. Grzybowski in Warsaw. In the foreground All Saints Church (nineteenth century), left the Palace of Culture and Science (Social Realism), in the depths are modern "skyscrapers".
This is probably one of the most iconic buildings in Yilan. It is also one of the reasons why I came here. The building itself looks like it had sunk into the ground. If the weather is good enough, you can even take shot with a perfect reflection on the water. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't that great.
Lanyang Museum is a place where visitors can learn the history, culture, and landscape of Yilan.

The Cappella Colleoni (Colleoni Chapel) is a church and mausoleum in Bergamo in northern Italy.
Dedicated to the saints Bartholomew, Mark and John the Baptist, it was built between 1472 and 1476 as the personal shrine for the famous condottiere Bartolomeo Colleoni, a member of one of the most outstanding families of the city, and his beloved daughter Medea.
The design was entrusted to Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, whose plan respected the style of the church, as can been seen from the octagonal tambour of the dome and in the lantern cusp, as well as in the use of polychrome marbles.
