Cette chappelle forme la façade sud du St Salvator's Quadrangle, Lower College Hall, North Street, Saint Andrews, comté de Fife, Écosse.
Ce collège fait partie de la St Andrews University fondée en 1413 lorsqu'un groupe du clergé augustin, chassé de l'Université de Paris par le schisme d'Avignon et des universités d'Oxford et de Cambridge par les guerres anglo-écossaises, a formé une société d'enseignement supérieur à St Andrews, qui offrait cours de conférences sur la divinité, la logique, la philosophie et le droit.
Fondé en 1450 par l'évêque James Kennedy, c'est le plus vieux collège de l'Université de St Andrews. La chapelle et la tour - surplombant la voûte d'entrée - forment la façade sur North Street et sont un bel exemple d'architecture gothique religieuse du 15e s. Les deux ailes donnant sur la cour d'honneur sont des reconstructions du siècle dernier. La collégiale fut restaurée aux 19e et 20e siècle.
La ville de St Andrews est située sur la côte de la mer du Nord entre Édimbourg et Dundee. Nommée d’après l'apôtre saint André, le bourg royal de St Andrews a une histoire riche sur bien des aspects. Ancienne ville épiscopale, elle eut une importance religieuse considérable au Moyen âge, son université, bien que plus jeune comparée à celles de Cambridge et Oxford, est la plus ancienne d'Écosse.
Enfin, elle est le berceau du golf, sport né vers le 15e siècle sur ses dunes de sable et elle exerce toujours une influence considérable sur ce sport. Ses nombreux monuments, ses plages de sable et ses parcours du golf, dont les fameux links, font de la ville un centre touristique. Elle abrite également l'université de St Andrews.

"L'ordine e la disposizione delle cose" descrive l'atto di organizzare, allineare e mettere in sequenza oggetti o concetti in modo logico e strutturato, riflettendo l'esigenza di simmetria, logica e pulizia. Questo concetto si applica a diversi ambiti, dall'ossessione per l'ordine nella vita quotidiana, dove tutto deve essere perfettamente allineato, alla filosofia, dove si può riferire al modo in cui la materia è ordinata nell'universo. Nell'ambito della filosofia e della teologia, può riferirsi all'idea di un principio che governa l'universo, a differenza della creazione dal nulla (ex nihilo). Bertrand Russell, ad esempio, distingue la creazione della sostanza da parte di Dio dall'ordine e la disposizione delle cose che ne deriva, secondo una sua interpretazione del pensiero teologico

"Da nulla un mondo" si riferisce al concetto filosofico e teologico della creazione ex nihilo, cioè la creazione del mondo dal nulla, sostenuta da Sant'Agostino e presente nella filosofia cristiana. Questa idea afferma che Dio, nella sua onnipotenza, abbia creato l'universo senza usare materia preesistente, distinguendosi dalla concezione greca che vedeva il mondo come un'ordinazione di una materia eterna.
Per dire "Da nulla un mondo" in modo poetico si possono usare espressioni che evocano il processo di creazione, come "dal nulla l'universo" o "dall'etere un creato", oppure formule che mettono in risalto la sorpresa e l'artificio del nascere da qualcosa di inesistente, ad esempio "creato dal vuoto" o "fiorito dall'oblio"

Master planning for Centre Island Park began in 1956, leading to the creation of several notable landmarks. Among them was the hexagon-shaped Iroquois Restaurant, designed by Hancock, Little, Calvert Associates. Perched on the bank of a lagoon, the building was distinguished by its folded copper roof and massive timber beams. Originally opened as the Iroquois, it is now known as the Carousel Café.

Fort Santiago is one of the oldest historical fortifications in Manila built by the Spaniards in 1571 from what was once a palisaded structure of logs and earth built by Rajah Soliman on the native settlement called Maynila. The colonizers recognized that the tongue of land where the Pasig River flowed into the Manila Bay was a very strategic location. The fort was destroyed in 1574 during the Chinese attack led by Limahong. The stone fort was built between 1589 and 1592 and was repaired and extended after being damaged by the 1645 earthquake. Spanish, British, American and Japanese occupation forces used the fort as their headquarters and a prison for men, women, children and soldiers. After its destruction during the Battle of Manila in 1945, the fort was used by the U.S. Transportation Corps as a depot until it was turned over to the Philippine government in 1946. In 1950, Fort Santiago was declared a Shrine of Freedom and restoration began the following year. Today, it stands as a memorial to the victims of World War II and the sacrifices of the Filipino people in pursuit of freedom.
Here's a part ot the Plaza de Armas with the Rizal statue and museum. The plaza and its name is a common feature in fortresses built by the Spaniards in their colonies throughout the world. It got its name from the use of the area to stock arms and rifles when not in use. This is also where the soldiers marched around in their daily drills.

"La forma di un istante"
Si tratta piuttosto di una metafora poetica o filosofica che suggerisce l'idea che un momento brevissimo e sfuggente (l'istante) possa avere una sua struttura, un suo contenuto o una sua influenza ben precisa.
In un contesto artistico o letterario: potrebbe riferirsi al tentativo di catturare la natura effimera e transitoria di un momento nel tempo, come in una fotografia o in una poesia, per dargli una "forma" eterna o duratura.
