The Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh is famous for its Nationality Rooms ---real classrooms, but decorated to reflect various nationalities.
The Chinese room has one of the most ornate ceilings of all the Nationality Rooms. There was a large round table in the middle of the room. I sat down, stretched my arms as far as possible to place my camera, facing up, near the center of the table. (Luckily my screen can be rotated in any direction so I could see what was framed in the image.) I took a few shots. But the dragon was facing the wrong way, so I turned the photo 180º.
At this site, (www.nationalityrooms.pitt.edu) you can view photos of the rooms. Hold your cursor over a photo, then click on the country name to see a short video (2 to 5 min) about each of the 30 rooms.
The building was completed in 1937,. Most of these rooms were dedicated between 1938 and 1957, however newer rooms have been dedicated as recently as 2012. Other rooms are planned or under consideration for the future.
Much of the work on the building was done by immigrants from various countries. The rooms were meant to celebrate the heritage of the many immigrant communities in Pittsburgh. Representatives of each country were permitted to choose the decor of one classroom. Most represent a time from the late 1700's or earlier. There were a few rules they had to follow. There had to be a chalk board in the room. Usually it is hidden behind decorative cabinet doors. There had to be seating for students and a table or desk for the instructor. Several rooms are quite large and can hold classes for dozens of students, but many are smaller rooms suitable for a small group to sit around a table. Those that have desks usually have custom-made chairs in the style of the country with a writing arm desk on the right. The Turkish room has fold-down desk arms for both left and right-handed students.

I generated this mandala from one of my felt-tip ink drawings. It was drawn on 9x11 coarsely-woven paper and its delicious 3-dimensional quality comes from the tiny embossed squares and hard surface of that unusual paper. In the end the mandala turned out to be much stronger than the drawing it came from. As so often happens, its thumbnail does not do this one justice. The rich texture and the intensity of color that derives from that is most apparent in the largest size.

Built as a monument to Freemasonry in Queensland and as a World War I memorial, the Masonic Temple is an exceptional example of an Australian Masonic Temple. The temple makes an importan contribution to the streetscape of Ann Street through the scale of its giant order Corinthian columns and its interiors, particularly the Grand Hall and the Court of Remembrance, are renowned for their grandeur. It is substantially intact both externally and internally and is held in high regard by the Masonic community.
The Grand Lodge Room, a large symmetrical open space with a vaulted coffered ceiling and stepped seating facing the centre, on the top floor seated 1100 people and was described in the Architecture and Building Journal in February 1928 as the ‘largest and finest of its kind in Australia’.
I thought the ceiling in the one gallery was rather interesting. The gallery itself had a fantastic series of paintings, sort of "Old Dutch Masters" still lifes, with a modern twist.
The ceramic tiled ceiling of a vault at the masdjed-e Nasr Al Molk at Shiraz. The use of the yellow color was an innovation of the Zand era. Later, under the Qajar rulers, the use of yellow was even extended to the point it became the dominant color for the ceiling, while their Safavid predecessors used the blue as the dominant colors.

Plafond en trompe-l'oeil dans le corridor du Palais des Grands-Maîtres
La Valette, Malte
Le Palais des Grands-Maitres de l'Ordre est devenu le Palais présidentiel. Il a été conçu au XVIème par l'architecte Gerolamo Cassar.
Le corridor autour de la cour a été décoré par le peintre portugais Nicolo' Nasoni (1691-après 1773) qui est venu à Malte en 1723. Les peintures ont été restaurées au XXème siècle par Simeone Gauci, elles ont été très endommagées durant la dernière guerre.
