I loved the abstractness (is that a word??) of the windows against the rusty panels on this building.

DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL BROADCASTING
The major role of TOKYO SKYTREE is transmission of digital terrestrial broadcasting. Digital terrestrial broadcasting has already been in use since December 2003 in the Kanto area, but due to the many tall buildings rising over 200m high in central Tokyo, it has become necessary to build Tokyo Skytree.
The height of the TOKYO SKYTREE was originally specified at approximately 610m in the original project. However, it was planned from the beginning to be the world's tallest free-standing broadcasting tower. After careful discussion and research on high-rise buildings that are being built around the world, it was finally decided on 634m, to become the tallest free-standing broadcasting tower in the world.
I was impressed by the spontaneity, passion and excellent organization at very short notice of the "Black Lives Matter" march through central London yesterday.
The aim of the marchers was to highlight the low value seemingly placed on black lives in response to the fatal shootings by U.S. police officers of Philando Castile, a 32 year old cafeteria supervisor in St. Paul, Minnesota and Alton Sterling, a 37 year old father of five in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The marchers initially assembled at the South Bank before crossing the river into Westminster. Many of them shouted "Black Lives Matter" and "Hands Up Don't Shoot" as they first passed parliament at about 19.30 and then Whitehall, Piccadilly, Regent Street, Broadcasting House and Oxford Street.
Friday's protest was the first of several planned in London against police brutality and racism which organizers were keen to stress was a worldwide problem.
Black Lives Matter was established in July 2013 following the acquittal of George Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch officer who fatally injured a 17 year old black high school student, Trayvon Martin, in Florida and it has subsequently become an international movement campaigning against the perceived relative acceptability of violence against black people.
The British Guardian newspaper recently calculated the number of people in the United States killed by law enforcement officials - in 2015 that reached a record level of 1134 young black men and the statistics showed that they were nine times more likely to be victims than the average American and five times more likely than young white men. ( The Guardian 31 December 2015 ).

Bit short of uploads at the moment, this is a shot from a few months back.
I do love this building, it is made up of rusty coloured panels and was voted the best tall building in the world for 2010
I came across this building a couple of weeks ago whilst looking for some architecture to photograph for our camera club annual dpi competition.
It was a drab day so I have played around in photoshop to try & bring out the colour in the panels, they are actually made of rusted steel.
I love the zig zag way they have built this and am going to return on a better day for another go :)
Have a great start to the week!!
North of Oxford Circus is the BBC Broadcasting House, the main headquarters of the BBC. At night it is lit in purple at that point, behind the All Souls Church Langham Place. Both buildings make a great background at night when lit, as a bus on new night route N118 passes through en-route to Central London.

An interesting interior view of the BBC's first home in Leeds and a building they themselves vacated in the early years of the 20th Century after which is was remodelled by architects Fielden Clegg. The actual building, now known as Old Broadcasting House, was origianlly a Friends Meeting House (for the Quakers) and had been constructed in 1866-68 and designed by Edward Birchall. The BBC must have acquired it as they strengthened their regional presence in the 1920s and '30s as this image dates from c1933/4 and shows the work undertaken by the Leeds based architect John C Proctor.
It is suitably 'modernist' as was the case in London's Broadcasting House of 1930/32 and has obviously been designed, understandably, with acoustics in mind. Otherwise, as suited radio broadcasting at the time, it has elements of a well heeled drawing room of the period with very fine chairs and matching furniture to allow broadcasters and artists to sit, rest and read! No doubt this interior was, in turn, much modified in BBC days especially with the introduction of TV broadcasting but it is a glimpse into radio history when the medium was 'new' and 'important' as seen it its design and architecture.

French actor Jean-Pierre Léaud (1944) is best known for playing Antoine Doinel in Les Quatre Cents Coups/The 400 Blows (1959) and François Truffaut's following series of films about that character. He also worked several times with Jean-Luc Godard, and is one of the icons of the French New Wave. He is also known for his staccato diction.
Jean-Pierre Léaud was born in Paris in 1944. He was the son of an assistant scriptwriter, Pierre Léaud, and the actress Jacqueline Pierreux. Léaud made his major debut as an actor at the age of 14 as Antoine Doinel, a semi-autobiographical character based on the life events of French film director François Truffaut, in Les Quatre Cents Coups/The 400 Blows (1959). To cast the two adolescents, Truffaut published an announcement in France-Soir and auditioned several hundred children in September and October 1958. Jean Domarchi, a critic at Cahiers du cinéma, recommended Léaud. Truffaut was immediately captivated by the fourteen-year-old adolescent, who had already appeared with Jean Marais in the Swashbuckler La Tour, prends garde !/The Tower, watch out! (Georges Lampin, 1958). Jean-Pierre Léaud, then in the eighth grade at a private school in Pontigny, was a far from ideal student. He often ran away with the older students on their nights out, but could also be brilliant, generous, and affectionate. During and following the filming of Les Quatre Cents Coups/The 400 Blows (1959), Truffaut's concern for Léaud extended beyond the film set. He took charge of the difficult adolescent's upbringing after Léaud was expelled from school and kicked out of the home of the retired couple taking care of him. Truffaut subsequently rented a studio apartment for Léaud. Truffaut also hired him for assistant work on La peau douce/The Soft Skin (1964) and Mata Hari, Agent H21 (1964). After the short-film Antoine et Colette (1962), a segment of the anthology L'amour à vingt ans (1962), Léaud starred in four more Truffaut films depicting the life of Doinel, spanning a period of 20 years. Those films are Baisers volés/Stolen Kisses (1968), Domicile conjugal/Bed and Board (1970) and L'amour en fuite/Love on the Run (1979), all with Claude Jade. He also collaborated with Truffaut on non-Antoine Doinel films like Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent/Two English Girls (1971) and La Nuit américaine/Day for Night (1973) and became the actor most commonly affiliated with him. Although Antoine Doinel is his most familiar character, he often found his performances in other films to be compared to his Doinel character whether there were legitimate similarities or not.
Jean-Pierre Léaud is one of the most visible and well-known actors to be associated with the French New Wave film movement and, aside from his work with Truffaut, collaborated with Jean-Luc Godard on nine films, Jean Eustache, Jacques Rivette and Agnès Varda. In 1966, he won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival for his role in Masculin Féminin (Jean Luc Godard, 1966). He was in Pier Paolo Pasolini's Porcile/Pigsty (1968), in Jerzy Skolimowski’s Dialog 20-40-60/Dialogue 20-40-60 (1968), Brazilian Carlos Diegues' Os herdeiros/The Heirs (1970) and Glauber Rocha's Der Leone have sept cabeças/The Lion Has Seven Heads (1971). The early 1970s was perhaps the peak of his professional career when he had three critically acclaimed films released: Bernardo Bertolucci's Ultimo tango a Parigi/Last Tango in Paris (1972), Truffaut's La Nuit américaine/Day for Night (1973), and Jean Eustache's La Maman et la Putain/The Mother and the Whore (1973) with Bernadette Lafont. In the Bertolucci film, Léaud appeared in the same film as a hero of his, Marlon Brando, although the two men never met, since all of Léaud's scenes were shot on Saturdays and Brando refused to work on Saturdays. In 1988, he was nominated for a César Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1988 for the comedy Les Keufs/Lady Cops (Josiane Balasko, 1987) and was awarded an Honorary César for lifetime achievement in 2000. He made an exciting comeback in the nineties when several ‘new New Wave’ directors hired Léaud to pay homage to their elders. Among them French film makers such as Olivier Assayas, Danièle Dubroux , Serge Le Péron or Bertrand Bonello and foreigners like Finnish Aki Käurismäki and Taiwanese Tsai Ming-Liang. In 2016, Léaud received the Honorary Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, and in 2017, he won the Lumières Award for Best Actor for his role in the historical drama La Mort de Louis XIV/The Death of Louis XIV (Albert Serra, 2017). Jean-Pierre Léaud is married to the French actress Brigitte Duvivier.
