Read more about the construction of BBC Broadcasting House on the About the BBC blog.
Part of the BBC's W1 complex. Another example of the Art Deco style of design to be found dotted throughout London.
Lots of natural light. I'm crazy for the birch plywood, concrete, and steel aesthetic. This was a big rolling partition used to keep crowds from entering the recording studios before show time.
The wonderful Tobias Golodnoff (Leader of the Danish Cultural Heritage Project at The Danish Broadcasting Corporation) gave us a little bit of a tour of the DR headquarters after the conference. It was *extremely* impressive.
The giant Fernsehturm peeks out from behind the Berliner Dom.
The Berliner Dom is as much a symbol of Imperial extravagance as it is of Christianity, built to replace a small imperial chapel on the Museuminsel in the middle of the River Spree.
Completed in 1905, to a design by Julius Racshdorff, it was opened in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II and is unusual for a Protestant church, with its lavishly decorated interior.
Much of that decoration is in tribute to the Hohenzollern family, with the sarcophagi of more than 90 members of the Imperial dynasty within its walls.
The 74-metre high copper dome can be climbed by the public for views of the Museum Island and around and is decorated inside with mosaics of the Beatitudes, by Anton von Werner.
The church was badly damaged by Allied bombing during the Second World War and restoration did not begin until 1974 – it has still not been completed.
The Fernsehturm is the most prominent building in the whole of Berlin, visible day and night from just about everywhere in the city.
Standing 1,188ft tall, the giant silver spindle (known at the Telespargel – toothpick – by locals), with a sparking silver sphere revolving around its middle, was built by the East German government in 1969 as a symbol of their power, as well as a functioning transmitter.
Now a tourist attraction, visitors take the lift up the centre of the tower to the viewing platform in the sphere at 666ft or the revolving restaurant above, from where there are great views over the entire city.
A nice little detail on the All Souls Place elevation of phase 1 of the extension to the home of BBC radio.
Very Arts & Crafts; but we knew already that MJP like that kind of thing.

Ms. Trena Brae is a 2015 Broadcasting graduate from City College who went on to Nova University and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Public Relations.
She spoke to broadcasting students about how to apply themselves as they pursue their dreams of becoming broadcasters. She told them they need to study, work hard, practice their craft in class, and use every opportunity they get to expose themselves to real-life experiences in media.
Ms. Brae encouraged the students to utilize their time at City College to learn as much as they can about broadcasting, because the knowledge she acquired as a broadcasting student helped her in her studies at Nova, and also in the various positions she has occupied in the field since graduating with her broadcasting degree. She explained that her City College broadcasting training not only opened her eyes to the intricacies of the industry, but it reduced her time at Nova because of transferred credits.
During her time at City College, Ms. Brae served as Secretary of the Broadcasting Club, a City College Ambassador, and graduated summa cum laude.
Thank you Ms. Brae for visiting and sharing your experience.

Voted World's Best Tall Building of 2010 even beating the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai – the world’s tallest building..

Believe it or not, I started cleaning the office recently, but never finished.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
The School is building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the remaining boats were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts.
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is an accredited, non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.
We build both commissioned and speculative boats for sale while teaching students boatbuilding the skills they need to work in the marine trades. If you're interested in our building a boat for you, please feel free to give us a call.
You can reach us via e-mail at info@nwboatschool.org or by calling us at 360-385-4948.
Google Maps identifies the right tower site as KCOP/13's. That looks like mounting for an FM on the side. Or maybe it was for an auxiliary TV antenna. In any case the tower was gone by 2007, when Google Streetview shows nothing but a gap in the fence.
The tower on the left is KLVE/107.5.

About the Sky Tree Tower:
Because the site is bordered by (1) rivers, (2) rails, and (3) roads, the designers started with an equilateral triangular base. Vertical lines visually rise like a tripod on this base. The triangle form gradually becomes a circle at the top.
"The change from the triangle to the circle also entailed warp and camber which are traditional shapes in Japanese culture"—Nikken Sekkei Design ConceptStructurally, the tower is built like a giant tree with deep roots into the ground. At the base, steel tubes (2.3 meters in diameter and 10 centimeters thick) form the base of the structure's trunk, a series of trusses and branch joints. The reinforced concrete center column is structurally separate from the surrounding steel framing, an earthquake-resistant design similar to muli-storied pagoda temples.
Why 634 Meters?
"The sound of the number 634 when read in old Japanese numbers is mu-sa-shi, which reminds Japanese people of Musashi Province of the past, that used to cover a large area, including Tokyo, Saitama and part of Kanagawa Prefecture.";—Sky Tree Official Website
