The 250m2 building features an attractive PermaRock pacific blue exterior, with striking aesthetics that complement the neighbouring day centre for the elderly. The rear of the building features an attractive Western red cedar finish that further enhances its aesthetics close to the outside play area.
The wall panels were produced to a bespoke design, with a special height and width to meet the very specific requirements of the build. The modular building features overhanging trusses, which create a canopy and it also has a hipped roof that complements the aesthetics of the day centre next door. In addition, there is a void in the roof trusses where the building’s services are stored.
Cladding has appeared on the north side of Rafael Viñoly's tower in EC3.

Palatul Facultătii este o clădire din București, situată pe bulevardul Mihail Kogălniceanu. A fost construită în anul 1935, după planurile arhitectului Petre Antonescu, din eforturile comune ale profesorilor și studenților facultății de drept. Palatul găzduiește Facultatea de Drept a Universității din București, Rectoratul Universității din București precum și Colegiul Juridic Franco-Român de Studii Europene. Arhitectura de expresie neoclasică a clădirii este severă, concepută în unghiuri drepte; corpul central este precedat de o scară largă. Pilaştri înalţi ritmează faţada. Deasupra intrărilor, în golurile dintre pilaştri, sunt aşezate statui ce îi înfăţişează pe marii jurişti din vremurile vechi: Licurg, Solon, Cicero, Papinian, Justinian. Autorii statuilor sunt sculptorii Ion Jalea şi I Georgescu. Pe laterale sunt dispuse reliefuri sculptate de Mac Constantinescu, ale căror subiecte sunt: pe stânga „Eliberarea unui sclav în faţa magistraţilor din Forul roman”, pe dreapta „Justinian înconjurat de magistraţi”.”

Clad with Kentish Ragstones. St James Mission Hall, built 1885 with a cladding of Kentish Ragstone. Next door a later extension and to the left 1950s flats. The plaque tothe left of the door may be seen in closeup here
Quite a surprise to find cladding in Stoke Newington, especially in such strong earthy colours. The tall hedge is not helpful here. Very very cottagey, but quite a mish-mash of styles.The treatment may be contrasted with another in close proxmity

Atomium
The Atomium ( /əˈtoʊmiːəm/ ə-TOH-mee-əm) is a landmark building in Brussels (Belgium), originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58). It is located on the Heysel Plateau in Laeken, where the exhibition took place. It is now a museum.
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 metres (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18-metre-diameter (59 ft) stainless steel clad spheres are connected in the shape of a unit cell that could represent an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. Tubes connecting the spheres enclose stairs, escalators and an elevator (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels. The building was completely renovated between 2004 and 2006 by the companies Jacques Delens and BESIX.
This site is served by Heysel/Heizel metro station on line 6 of the Brussels metro.
History
Construction and Expo 58
The Atomium was built as the main pavilion and icon of the 1958 World Expo of Brussels (Expo 58). In the 1950s, faith in scientific progress was great, and a structure depicting atoms was chosen to embody this. The Atomium's nine 18-metre-diameter (59 ft) stainless steel clad spheres depict nine iron atoms in the shape of the body-centred cubic unit cell that could for example represent α-iron (ferrite) crystal, magnified 165 billion times.
The construction of the Atomium was a technical feat. Of the nine spheres, six are accessible to the public, each with two main floors and a lower floor reserved for service. Tubes of 3 metres (10 ft) diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. The central tube contains the fastest elevator of the time with a speed of 5 m/s (20 ft/s), installed by the Belgian branch of the Swiss firm Schlieren (subsequently taken over by Schindler). It allows 22 people to reach the summit in 23 seconds. The escalators installed in the oblique tubes are among the longest in Europe. The biggest is 35 metres (100 ft) long.
Three of the four top spheres lack vertical support and hence are not open to the public for safety reasons, although the sphere at the pinnacle is open to the public. The original design called for no supports; the structure was simply to rest on the spheres. Wind tunnel tests proved that the structure would have toppled in an 80 km/h (50 mph) wind (140 km/h (90 mph) winds have been recorded in Belgium). Support columns were added to achieve enough resistance against overturning.
The Atomium, designed to last six months, was not destined to survive the 1958 World Expo, but its popularity and success made it a major element of the Brussels landscape. Its destruction was therefore postponed year after year, until the city's authorities decided to keep it. However, for thirty years, little maintenance work was done.
Renovation (2004–06)
By the turn of the millennium, the state of the building had deteriorated and a comprehensive renovation was sorely needed. Renovation of the Atomium, carried by Belgian construction companies Jacques Delens and BESIX, began in March 2004; it was closed to the public in October, and remained closed until 18 February 2006. The renovation included replacing the faded aluminium sheets on the spheres with stainless steel.
On 21 December 2005, the Atomium's new outdoor lighting was tested. The meridians of each sphere were covered with rectangular steel plates, in which LED lighting was integrated. The LED application illuminates the bulbs at night. The lights can also flash simultaneously or in turns at each meridian, symbolising the range of an electron around its core. In addition, the German industrial designer Ingo Maure created lighting objects and installations for the interior of the building.
On 14 February 2006, the Atomium was officially reopened by then-Prince Philippe, and on 18 February 2006, it opened again to the public. The renovation cost €26 million. Brussels and the Atomium Association paid one-third of the costs, the Belgian government financed two thirds. To help pay for the renovation, pieces of the old aluminium plates were sold to the public as souvenirs. One triangular piece about 2 metres (7 ft) long sold for €1,000. On the occasion of the reopening, a 2 euro commemorative coin depicting the building was issued, in March 2006, to celebrate the renovation.
Though the Atomium depicts an iron unit cell, the balls were originally clad with aluminium. Following the 2004–06 renovation, however, the aluminium was replaced with stainless steel, which is primarily iron. Likewise, while the subject of Atomium was chosen to depict the enthusiasm of the Atomic Age, iron is not and cannot be used as fuel in nuclear reactions.
A wonderful array of telephone wires accompanies this subdued make-over. The decorative red brick banding of next door (lost beneath the cladding) is quite interesting.
Those About to Die Salute You, a battle on water wielded with baguette swords and watermelon cannon balls by New York’s art dignitaries, took place on Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 6 pm in a flooded World’s Fair-era reflecting pool in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, just outside of the Queens Museum of Art. Various types of vessels were designed and constructed by artist provocateur Duke Riley and his collaborators: the galleons, some made of reeds harvested in the park, will be used to stage a citywide battle of the art museums in which representatives from the Queens Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and El Museo del Barrio battled before a toga-clad crowd of frenzied onlookers. The event is free and open to public. Dress code: Toga. Live music by Hell-Bent Hooker. Beverages will be served. RAIN OR SHINE.

Duke Riley has always been interested in the space where water meets land within the urban landscape and is known for art work that is an idiosyncratic mix of performance art, sailor’s craft and historical re-enactment. Upon QMA’s invitation for an artist residency, Riley’s life-long fascination with the culture and topography of waterfronts, and proclivity for margins - of society, history, etc. - were immediately focused on the decommissioned World’s Fair Ice Rink adjacent to the museum. The sight of the vast oval arena, a sea of refrigeration tubing and white sand, brought an instant association with ancient Roman coliseums that were flooded to stage violent naval battles or Naumachia for the delight of spectators in the Empire’s effort to distract the masses from societal collapse by indulging them with free bread and extravagant spectacle.

An ivy-clad Gothic tower at the Renwick Ruin rises in warm stone, the pointed gables and carved details catching the afternoon light. The bright blue sky and the weathered walls make the tower look storybook and romantic.
Isle of Wight. Another non-sunset/sunrise/over-graded/saturated image I'm afraid...I have just returned from a few days on the Isle of Wight running a photographic workshop. When I noticed this view after letting the students get on with their own thing I was immediately drawn to the way the structure of the pier had complartmentalised the light hitting the water below, pretty much as far as you can see...A few moments after making this the tide started to roll back in again and we made a hasty retreat back up the beach.
Still busy with a few projects on the go, though managing to flip through as many images from my contacts around the world as possible...when I can!
Los antófilos (Anthophila, gr. "que ama las flores") es un clado de insectos himenópteros, sin ubicación en categoría taxonómica, dentro de la superfamilia Apoidea. Se trata de un linaje monofilético con más de 20.000 especies conocidas de abejas. Es posible que haya muchas más especies que aun no han sido descritas. Se las encuentra en todos los continentes excepto Antártida y en todos los hábitats donde hay plantas con flores (magnoliofitas o angiospermas). Están adaptadas para alimentarse de polen y néctar, usando el primero fundamentalmente para alimento de las larvas y el segundo como material energético. La especie mejor conocida por todos es la abeja doméstica (Apis mellifera), a veces simplemente llamada "abeja".
