A view into the handsome mahogany vaulted ceilings of Southside Mall in Oneonta, NY. The college "city of the hills" hosts its only mall shortly off the scenic I-88, with its closest competition approximately 65 miles in any direction is an indicator as to why its keeping afloat. TJ Maxx rose to the challenge following a vacancy left by Kmart in 2003.
The Alhambra is a complex of several palaces, snuggled next to a fortress, set in an extensive garden, perched on a big hill.
The most interesting building is the 14th century Islamic palace built by the Nasrid dynasty with enchanting courtyards, babbling fountains and breathtakingly beautiful panelled rooms with gloriously intricate designs and unusual mocárabe ('stalactite') ceilings. In comparison, the Renaissance palace King Charles V had built next door is an unfinished brutalist monolith designed with all the sensitivity of a brick.

The GASP (Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park ) has a new pavilion offering great views of Elwick Bay on the Derwent River and the surrounding hills. The new structure offers shelter from the prevailing winds without blocking too much light. The mixture of coloured windows brightens the brutalist concrete structure.

This is the ceiling in the main entrance hall of the Ruthven Museums Building at the University of Michigan. This is an Albert Kahn building.

While at Photokina I took the chance to visit the cathedra. I love the ceilings and the stained glass. I very rarely do HDR but to get the detail in the ceiling and the windows I needed too bracket my exposure and bring them together in post.
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.
