Cladirea BNR a fost ridicata pe locul pe care se afla Hanul Serban Voda. Construit în anii 1683-1685 în timpul domniei lui Serban Cantacuzino (1678-1688) si consolidat în vremea lui Constantin Brâncoveanu (1688-1714) acest ansamblu arhitectural a fost principalul han al orasului datorita marimii sale si al sigurantei oferite negustorilor în incinta de tip cetate cu ziduri pline spre exterior. În 1863, prin Legea secularizarii averilor manastiresti, într-o vreme când era aproape abandonat, hanul a trecut în proprietatea statului pentru ca fusese închinat manastirii Cotroceni, o alta ctitorie a lui Serban Cantacuzino..In 1883 incepe constructia actualei cladiri dupa planurile arhitectilor francezi Cassien Bernard, elevul si colaboratorul lui Charles Garnier, autorul Operei din Paris, precum si cu Albert Galleron. Proiectul lor tocmai fusese expus la Expozitia Nationala de Beaux Arts de la Paris si primise aprecieri favorabile. În 1883, s-a decis darâmarea cladirilor pentru eliberarea terenului Hanul Serban Voda iar la 12 iulie 1884 a avut loc inaugurarea oficiala a lucrarilor, prilej cu care în fundatia cladirii s-a depus un document în care erau mentionati regele Carol I, prim-ministrul I.C. Bratianu, membrii guvernului precum si conducerea BNR.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge, which opened on 8 December 1864, spanning the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset, England. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge is a grade I listed building and forms part of the B3129 road.
The idea of building a bridge across the Avon Gorge originated in 1753. Original plans were for a stone bridge, and later iterations were for a wrought iron structure. In 1831, an attempt to build Brunel's design was stopped by the Bristol riots, and the revised version of his designs was built after his death and completed in 1864. Although similar in size, the bridge towers are not identical in design, the Clifton tower having side cut-outs, the Leigh tower more pointed arches atop a 110-foot (34 m) red sandstone-clad abutment. Roller-mounted "saddles" at the top of each tower allow movement of the three independent wrought iron chains on each side when loads pass over the bridge. The bridge deck is suspended by 81 matching vertical wrought-iron rods.
Two men were killed during the bridge's construction; since opening it has gained a reputation as a suicide bridge. It has plaques that advertise the telephone number of The Samaritans and above the railings on the bridge there are anti-climb barriers. The Clifton Bridge Company initially managed the bridge under licence from a charitable trust. The trust subsequently purchased the company shares, completing this in 1949 and took over the running of the bridge using the income from tolls to pay for maintenance. The bridge is a distinctive landmark, used as a symbol of Bristol on postcards, promotional materials, and informational web sites. It was also used as a backdrop to several films and television advertising and programmes. It has also been the venue for significant cultural events such as the first modern bungee jump in 1979, the last ever Concorde flight in 2003 and a handover of the Olympic Torch relay in 2012.

As more and more car dealerships consolidate branches and property this is leaving ideal opportunities for 'car supermarkets' to move into pre-prepared locations easily.
This was formerly Marshall Honda - they moved out in December 2017 to consolidate all activities in Narborough (south of Leicester city).
The site doesn't have a good past record - another former tenant was Swithland Motors.
"The Leicestershire-based Swithland Motors dealership chain was supported by an intricate web of false accounts, bogus transactions, falsified documents and ingenious scams to deceive bankers, investors, vehicle finance companies and the auditors, Coopers & Lybrand. The company collapsed owing some £15m in November 1993, days after plans for a stock market flotation were abandoned."

I took this photo 3 months before the recent Grenfell Tower fire.
My intention was to show these older buildings being re-purposed and receiving a new life as city centre housing. Something they seemed to be doing rather well.
I thought at the time the cladding uplifted otherwise asethically bland buildings. The block in the distance (Allied Place) has cladding installed that acts as insulation in addition to its aesthetic qualities.
Since the Grenfell Tower fire cladding all over the country has come under get scrutiny, along with the Building Regulations allowing them to be fitted.
with mainly lath cladding....
A lath is a thin, narrow strip of straight-grained wood used under roof shingles or tiles, on lath and plaster walls and ceilings to hold plaster, and in lattice and trellis work.[1]
Lath has expanded to mean any type of backing material for plaster including a metal wire mesh or expanded metal that is applied to a wood or metal framework as matrix over which stucco or plaster is applied and wallboard products called gypsum or rock lath.[2] Also reed mat was historically a lath material. One of the key elements of lath, whether wooden slats or wire mesh, are the openings or gaps that allow plaster or stucco to ooze behind and form a mechanical bond to the lath where gypsum lath relies more on a chemical bond.[2]

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.
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”.”

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.
