Founded in 1897 by art historian George Fisk Comfort (co-founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City), the Everson has outgrown a number of facilities. This building was designed by I. M. Pei, and was opened in 1968. Both inside and out it is regarded as a work of art in its own right.
In 1963, the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer was appointed to design the Tripoli International Fair and its layout.
Niemeyer created a project consisting of 15 concrete buildings located on an area of 100 hectares in the center of Tripoli about 600 meters (656 yards) from the seashore. The project included a 36-hectare garden and parking for 2,000 cars.
Sadly, due to the Lebanese civil war construction was never finished and the area was abandoned.
The Enid Terminal Elevator is the oldest grain storage facility in Enid, Oklahoma. It was designed by a Missouri architect and built using concrete in 1925-1926. It is 594 feet long, 60 feet wide and 190 feet tall to the roof. It stores 2 million bushels, or 70 million liters of grain.

It is one of the eight grain elevators in the city that consists of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District. The city has the largest grain storage in the state and the nation. By 1970, the city claimed the title of Wheat Capital of the United States of America. It hit its peak with a total grain storage capacity of 80 million bushels, or 2.81 billion liters in 1987. Due to the economic decline, drought, and change of grain transportation method, some of the elevators in the city have shut down. Today, Enid continues to have the largest grain storage capacity in the US and the third largest in the world.

I captured this photograph on a visit to the sound mirrors at Dungeness, Kent, UK. I like how the structure has been slowly enveloped by the wild grass and surrounding bushes over the decades. The mirror is both a relic of historical engineering and a silent monument to an era before radar transformed the skies.
The Dungeness sound mirrors, remnants of an early acoustic defence system designed to alert against enemy aircraft, now stand as silent testaments to pre-WWII ingenuity. More details available on the official RSPB website at www.rspb.org.uk/days-out/reserves/dungeness.

In Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen steht der Sonnenring. Er zählt zu den Bauten des Architekten Günther Balser, entstand von 1969 - 1975 und wird dem Brutalismus zugerechnet. Hier sieht es aus, als wäre ein Teil des Baus ein Kreuzfahrtschiff, das auf dem Grün einer Hecke schippert.
