The Jameh complex is a veritable museum of Islamic architecture while still functioning as a busy place of worship. Showcasing the best that nine centuries of artistic and religious endeavour has achieved, from the geometric elegance of the Seljuks to the more florid refinements of the Safavid era, a visit repays time spent examining the details – a finely carved column, delicate mosaics, perfect brickwork. Covering more than 20,000 sq metres, this is the biggest mosque in Iran.

Something inherently creepy about an abondoned toy factory. I mean beyond the doll heads, nipples floating in standing water, pacifiers marinating in something leaking from a steel drum addressed but never shipped to the EPA.
SANTORÍNI - Grécia
Santoríni é um complexo de ilhas... pertencente às Ilhas Cíclades, famosas por suas praias e vilas de casas brancas no alto dos penhascos, pelas Igrejas de domo azul, ruas estreitas e moinhos. O complexo das Ilhas Cíclades (Mar Mediterrâneo) é o mais visitado. Em Santoríni, para além da ilha principal, a cidade de Firá ou Thíra - a Capital, tem nas suas proximidades diversos ilhéus, formando um grupo quase circular de ilhas, vestígios da grande erupção que despedaçou a ilha em 1450 a.C., e ganhou forma de uma lua crescente. Depósitos piroclásticos com algumas centenas de metros de espessura, recobriram tudo o que restou da ilha e ainda atingiram grandes áreas do Mar Egeu e dos territórios vizinhos. O impacto dessa erupção fez-se sentir em toda Terra, mas com particular intensidade na bacia do Mediterrâneo. A erupção parece estar ligada ao colapso da Civilização Minoica, na ilha de Creta, distante de Santoríni 110 km ao sul. Acredita-se que tal cataclismo tenha inspirado as posteriores lendas acerca de Atlântida.
O pequeno Porto de Skála Firón - na grande cratera, está a 270m abaixo de Firón, ligado por um carro a cabo ou por mulas que sobem 580 degraus. Os terraços nos penhascos, estão cheios de hotéis, bares, lojas e restaurantes muito bem posicionados ao longo da borda da cratera de onde se têm magníficas vistas, especialmente no pôr do sol. Dos milhares de ilhas gregas, apenas cem são permanentemente habitadas. E nelas vive cerca de 10% de uma população de quase 11 milhões de pessoas.
Esta ilha vulcânica colonizada pelos minoicos em 3000 a.C., os dóricos chamaram-na de Thíra quando aqui se estabeleceram no século VIII a.C., e o nome Santoríni veio dos venezianos no século XIII, em homenagem a Santa Irene, Iríni, em grego. Atitudes machistas ainda persistem nas ilhas e as mulheres, em geral, têm de abrir mão de qualquer carreira para cuidar da casa e das crianças.

Information board next to the Ġgantija temple complex on Gozo, Malta:
Of the facades of the two temples, only the outer corners remain standing. The central part of the facade, between the two main doorways, was already in ruins by 1827 when it was painted by Charles Frederick de Brochtorff, It is possible that this collapse happened during, or soon after, the period when the temples were in use. Metal scaffolding was installed in front of the facade and inside the South Temple in the 1990s to strengthen the walls and protect them from collapsing further. Heritage Malta is currently conducting an in-depth structural study co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund focusing on the scaffolding and the search for better ways of consolidating the megalithic structure.

Gabbro in the Precambrian of Minnesota, USA. (geology hammer for scale)
This is gabbro, a mafic, phaneritic, intrusive igneous rock composed principally of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene. The light-reflecting portions of the rock are plagioclase feldspar cleavage planes.
This rock is part of the widespread Duluth Complex, a ~1.1 billion year old suite of igneous rocks in northeastern Minnesota that is associated with volcanism in the Lake Superior segment of the ancient Mid-Continent Rift System.

The Bacardi Complex in was constructed in 1963 and served as the first United States headquarters for the Bacardi corporation, a Cuban company notable for its rum. The Bacardi complex consists of two prominent buildings, the main tower and the Bacardi Imports Administration Annex building that was completed in 1973. The buildings are iconic examples of mid-century modern International-style architecture, notable for their uses of steel and glass, each featuring imaginative cantilevered overhangs as the bulk of the building. They are each emblazoned with artistic products, with the tower decorated with over 28,000 azulejo tiles painted and assembled by Brazilian artist Francisco Brennand. The Annex building’s four walls are entirely defined by stained-glass windows manufactured by French artists Gabriel and Jacques Loire based upon a painting by German artist Johannes Dietz. The buildings are notable for the way they embrace international influences within architecture and art to create visually impressive works.
Since the establishment of the company in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba, the business has successfully expanded the branding, production, and headquarter sites outside of Cuba. Bacardi’s buildings in Miami have aimed to create and promote a visual identity for the corporation, one which is simultaneously past and forward-looking, with an appreciation of the natural and the man-made. Bacardi’s buildings are attempts to express concepts larger than mere business, combining art and architecture to tell a larger story.

Dorrance Colliery Fan House Complex: The oldest fan, a 1883 iron and wood double outlet Guibal, is the last known survivor of this type. In its double outlet, air is drawn up the airshaft and divided by a pointed brick wall where the air was split and entered both sides of the fan. The air then entered the sides of the fan and was pushed to the outside by centrifugal force. Then the air was sent out the expanding exhaust stack. The Guibal has a diameter of 35 feet and a speed of 49 revolutions per minute.
This is the Philae Temple Complex, located on Agilkia Island, though it was originally located on Philae Island at Aswan in Upper Egypt. Constructed between 380 and 362 BC under Nectanebo I of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the primary temple structure of the complex was built to honor Isis, the mother goddess and most important female deity in the Ancient Egyptian religion. The temple also gained quite a few smaller temples dedicated to various deities, including Hathor, and it is believed that the site was the last active Ancient Egyptian religious site after all pagan religious practices were banned by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, in favor of Christianity, with the last known Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic carving being found at the site, dating to the late 4th Century. In 537 AD, religious ceremonies were halted at the site by the local commander, and the structure then became the Church of St. Stephen, with many of the carved reliefs being vandalized and the stone columns and walls having carvings of crosses and other religious symbols being added, while the temple structure itself remained largely intact for over a millennia. The temple complex includes the Vestibule of Hadrian, a tall Roman-era structure, and several Ptolemaic-era column capitals that were never completed, and remain in an unfinished state. The temple attracted a lot of attention in the 19th Century due to its picturesque location, immaculate state of preservation, and lack of sediments or debris obscuring the structure. The darkest period in the structure’s history began in 1902, when the British government, which controlled Egypt at the time, constructed the Aswan Low Dam on the Nile River, with the water level behind the dam rising up over the base of the temple, damaging the structure. The dam was raised twice, further covering more of the structure and leading to yet more damage. When the Aswan High Dam was under construction in the 1960s, UNESCO stepped in and moved the temple to higher ground, rescuing it from its watery grave.
Board chair Tom Imeson provides final words to close the tour of the Douglas Complex, following the epic 2013 fire season.
zwemplex in het IJ: nieuwe recreatievoorziening midden in de stad, gedurende de maand februari 2009 te zien in het NAi te Rotterdam als onderdeel van de tentoonstelling 'Maak ons Land'.
Om het tekort aan recreatievoorzieningen in de stad op te lossen en tegelijkertijd het water meer bij de stad te betrekken, ontwikkelde Rogier Janssen van JagerJanssen architecten een drijvend complex met zwembad, sauna en andere wellness ruimtes. Het zwemplex bestaat uit uitgeholde ruimtes van polystyreen die bijeen worden gehouden door het centrale zwembad en een circulatiestrip voor het verkeer.
