architecture photography movie by Frank Dinger:
Preston bus station is scheduled for demolition. I hope it doesn't happen. While the building is run down, the design is fantastic inside and out.
a detail of the Cathedral Metropolitana, Brasilia, Brasil, in memory of Oscar Niemeyer, who died on the 5th of December, at the age of 104. Architecturally, he has, since I was a little boy, been one of my heroes. He was the first architect who used concrete in flowing forms, of which this picture is an example.
[Qom, Iran] Memorial in Qom for anonymous fallen Iranian martyrs from the Iran-Iraq war, whose unrecognizable remains were recently retrieved from the battlefront, consisting on a monumental concrete transparent open structure resembling a dome, at night time with the Qom skyline in the back permanently receiving pilgrims and visitors, especially among young people.

It would be enough fun to admire the proud towers from back at a distance aways, but I like to get up close and see the ways that the residents etc like to interact with the architecture they call, "home."
The shoppingbuggy is from Target!, and I'll bet anybody everything I've got that it came from the Target over on E Lake Street, a dozen+ blocks away. Was it a young mother that rolled it over here!, filled up with diapers and formula, and did she sing sweetly children's songs to her young!, all the way back to her apartment in the sky. Was it this lady!
As for the mattress I used to have a mattress kind of close to that colour but I kept mine covered up with sheets and bedding etc. I didn't want anybody to know I had a flowered purple mattress!

Set against the sharp, modernist lines of the Unitarian Universalist Church of San Francisco, this contemplative garden scene features a powerful stone sculpture of a seated adult with two children—one in their lap, the other at their side. Carved in a softly textured, almost primitive style, the sculpture evokes themes of care, protection, and intergenerational strength, echoing the social justice mission of the church it fronts.
The building behind it—a geometric blend of concrete and shingled pyramidal roofs—stands in contrast to the organic warmth of the sculpture. Its Brutalist influence is softened by natural light filtering through clerestory windows just beneath the peak, and by the surrounding garden that adds a splash of color and wildness to the structured setting.
This juxtaposition of materials—concrete, stone, and grass—creates a visually arresting composition, especially in early morning or late afternoon light. The sculpture’s placement within a fenced patch of lawn and winter-bare trees enhances its sense of solitude and reflection. A squirrel perched atop the figure’s head lends an unexpected moment of delight, grounding this symbol of humanity firmly in the present.
Part of the Unitarian Universalist Church at 1187 Franklin Street, this scene is quietly emblematic of the institution’s values: inclusion, compassion, and community. Whether you’re photographing modern religious architecture or moments of human connection rendered in stone, this corner of Cathedral Hill offers both.

Architect : Antonio Bonet

ANTONIO BONET. In 1942, Bonet participates in the constitution of the Organization of the Integral House in the Argentine Republic. The idea of the formation of its work ties it with the ideas suggested by Him Corbusier throughout the process of preparation of the Plan of Buenos Aires. "the routine servitude of conception submissive the outsider does not exist any worthy of consideration argument seriously nor even in that some Argentineans live" So that the initial note of a universal modulation does not take place in our country, whose hope appears in the immediate perspective of the world: on the area in catastrophe of the cities martyred by the war, the genius of the man already begins to project the new forms of the human coexistence. On the contrary, the essential circumstance of our historical youth and the one of our adventurous peace, locate to us in the moral obligation to create new forms of life anticipating us to whatever of project and of dream it even subsists in a world of towns in flames and ruins. This thought of Bonet, is taken from the N° Notebook 1 of OVRA, titled Study of the Contemporary Problems for the organization of the integral house in the Argentine Republic. Without a doubt, the text gathers part of the optimism of the Austral Group. But while this one was directed to the architects and its problems, in the OVRA manifesto the horizon is ampler, next to certain discovered nonfree of messianism of the American, coincident with other similar initiatives in other places of the continent.
Reflections of Antonio Bonet on the architecture: "the architectonic elements that will form the new city will be formed by a series, numerous, of structures little systematized. Those structures will be able to arrive to the maximum from their aesthetic, technical perfection and economic, since besides to be placed in free lands, its study must be based on the progressive improvement of such types, so as it has become in the great architectures of the past. Within those structures, that will be the expression of the effort of the social man, to obtain the order and the harmony of its time, never will be obtained to a freedom reached after the development of the life of the man like individual, and the one of its institutions. It is well certain that we are even far from that stage, But does not fit doubt that once demonstrated that the modern buildings can be developed in simple structures, more and more seemed to each other, it will make the importance powerful of this system. Those buildings will be used and the equipped for but diverse uses, without aging with it, although they will have to work at a time whose social programs, industrial, etc., are in permanent evolution. I am going to finish with the confession of my conviction of which to group the programs for the unification of the structures, is something enormously difficult, but some is no doubt that it is the way that will take us forms to the true architectonic of our time. in that the diverse social programs will be developed freely, cultural hygienic, etc., that must form the structure of the new society.
