Cette abbaye romane inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO au titre des "Chemins de Saint Jacques de Compostelle en France" depuis 1998, fait l’objet aussi d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 1840.
L'abbatiale Sainte-Foy de Conques a été construite à partir de 1041 par l'abbé Odolric à l'emplacement de l'ancien ermitage de Dadon (819), les travaux s’étalent jusqu’au XIIe siècle.
L'église est construite sur un plan en croix latine et à chapelles rayonnantes (trois sur le chevet) et bénédictines (quatre chapelles alignées sur le transept. Elle présente une double enveloppe (nef et abside pour la première, collatéraux et déambulatoire pour la seconde), et une élévation à deux niveaux, les tribunes donnant sur le vaisseau central par des baies géminées. Elle présente des volumes ramassés en raison des contraintes topographiques, le premier ermitage ayant été fondé dans la vallée escarpée de la Dourdou. L'abside est de faible profondeur, la nef petite (longue de 20,70 m et large de 6,80 m) par rapport au transept (35 m). La voûte en berceau (contrebutée par les voûtes en demi-berceau de la galerie supérieure) de 22,10 m de hauteur et les arcatures surhaussées des bas-côtés de 9,40 m de hauteur révèlent une réelle recherche de verticalité du projet architectural.
L'intérieur de l'abbatiale est très sobre avec le chœur, la voûte peinte et les tribunes sont peints en claire, presque blanche. Le haut des murs, l'abside et de nombreuses piles sont en pierre calcaire de Lune de couleur jaune variable. Les murs Est du Transept, du déambulatoire et des chapelles, ainsi que les murs du collatéral Sud sont en grès rouge de Nauviale.
La travée du narthex est la plus large (5,70 m), les trois suivantes sont identiques (4,30 m), la cinquième accuse un élargissement (5,20 m) qui semble prévenir le rétrécissement de la suivante (2,90 m) donnant sur le transept.
Le chœur est entouré d'un déambulatoire permettant aux fidèles de défiler autour des reliques de Foy d'Agen. Il est orné de grilles en fer forgé datant du XIIe siècle et qui, selon la tradition légendaire rapportée dans le Liber miraculorum sancte Fidis de Bernard d'Angers, auraient été réalisées avec les chaînes, colliers et bracelets de fer apportés par d'anciens prisonniers délivrés par l'intercession de la sainte. La sacristie est décorée de fresques du XVe siècle qui racontent le martyre de la sainte. Au fond du transept gauche, on peut admirer un haut-relief représentant l'Annonciation, sculpté par le même artiste que celui qui exécuta le tympan.
Les vitraux de Pierre Soulages réalisés entre 1987 et 1994 en collaboration avec le verrier Jean-Dominique Fleury ajoutent un aspect contemporain à l'atmosphère sobre et recueillie de l'église.
L'ensemble de près de 250 chapiteaux sculptés constitue un exemple parfait de l'art roman. Alors que les chapiteaux étaient ornés jusque-là que de motifs végétaux et géométriques, ceux de Conques voient l'apparition de figures humaines, d'abord timidement prises dans le motif ornemental puis de plain-pied.

The boudoir at Knightshayes Court was the private sitting room of the lady of the house. The ceiling, designed by Victorian designer John Dibblee Crace, has as its centrepiece eight rondels depicting signs of the Zodiac.
Knightshayes is an elegant Victorian country house and estate, now owned by the National Trust, and located near Tiverton in Devon.
....there was a table....so put camera facing upwards on table on a 10 second delay.

Built on top of the believed location of the tomb of St. Paul, a place of worship has existed here since his death around 65-67 CE. Pope Sylvester consecrated a basilica built by Constantine here in 324. The current structure is a reconstruction after a ruinous fire in 1823.
Inside Salisbury Cathedral everything was so visually beautiful and awe inspiring!! Even, and maybe especially the arched ceilings. This is in the Quire area.
Weakened by his defeat by the French in 1214 and keen to avoid a civil war he feared losing, King John met the barons at Runnymede (between Windsor and Staines in Southern England) on 15 June 1215 and agreed the terms of the document now known as Magna Carta. Its content, driven by the concerns of barons and church, was designed to re-balance power between the King and his subjects. When King John set his seal on Magna Carta he conceded the fundamental principle that even as king he was not above the law.
Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter") 1215 is one of the most celebrated documents in English history. At the time it was the solution to a political crisis in Medieval England but its importance has endured as it has become recognised as a cornerstone of liberty influencing much of the civilized world.
A visit to view the best preserved original Magna Carta in the Chapter House is for many visitors the highlight of their time at Salisbury Cathedral.
Magna Carta contains 63 clauses written in Latin on parchment. Only three of the original clauses in Magna Carta are still law today. One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns, but the third is the most famous:
'No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled. Nor will we proceed with force against him except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.'
Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

"At the center of the Melanesian gallery is a soaring, boldly colored ceiling from a ceremonial house of the Kwoma people of New Guinea. More than 80 feet long and 30 feet wide, the ceiling is composed of more than 270 individual paintings, commissioned from a group of Kwoma master artists in the early 1970s. The redesigned space allows the ceiling to be displayed at its full height, imparting a cathedral-like atmosphere to the gallery." More...
Taken during a visit to the The Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka "The Met") in New York City in May 2009. Despite spending 6+ hours exploring the museums Egyptian, Japanese, and Modern Art collection, we only managed to see a small portion of what the museum has to offer.
Things are looking up at We're Here!. Today, we take that literally and join from BELOW - straight up.
Brussels. City hall.
In the long rear wing is the Statenzaal, built in the early 18th century for the States of Brabant and then used by the Brussels city council. The sumptuous decoration is the work of Victor Honoré Janssens. He made the ceiling painting with an Assembly of the Gods and also the cartoons for the three Brussels tapestries with scenes from the history of Brabant. The three paintings between the windows show female figures representing the cities of Antwerp, Brussels and Leuven against a golden background. The wooden benches are arranged in a U-shape.
