Spanning the waters, connecting the central business district to the North Shore, stands our Sydney Harbour Bridge. Designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932.
It carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Affectionately known as 'The Coathanger' because of the arch design. The bridge takes the title of tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m from top to water level.
And in close proximity, the Sydney Opera House, a multi-venue performing arts centre designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, but completed by an Australian architectural team headed by Peter Hall. This unique and distinctive building was formally opened in 1973.
In 2007 the Sydney Opera House was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

I warn you now it's probably going to get a bit random round here for a little while. Having just finished uploading photos from my Summer trip to Poland I've quite a backlog of all sorts of varied things including this square format crop reworking of a shot of the Black Diamond in Copenhagen.
Anyone else see a touch of the '2001 : Space Odyssey' Black Monolith in this ?

From Wikipedia : "The Black Diamond (Danish: Den Sorte Diamant) is a modern waterfront extension to the Royal Danish Library's old building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Its quasi-official nickname is a reference to its polished black granite cladding and irregular angles. Designed by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the Black Diamond was completed in 1999 as the first in a series of large-scale cultural buildings along Copenhagen's waterfront.
Apart from its function as a library, the building houses a number of other public facilities and activities, most of which are located around the central, toplit atrium which cuts into the building with a huge glazed front facing the harbour. The facilities include a 600-seat auditorium, the Queen's Hall, used for concerts—mainly chamber music and jazz—literary events, theatrical performances and conferences. There are also exhibition spaces, a bookshop, a restaurant, a café and a roof terrace. Two museums are based in the Black Diamond, the National Museum of Photography and a small museum dedicated to cartoon art."

As seen yesterday, the Pyramid structure, a future apartment building, is nearing completion. However, it's still a three-crane construction site, so there's still lots going on--inside and out.
This was taken from the northern approach, just as the car I was riding in crossed 58th Street. I recently discovered that the architect who designed this marvel is a Dane, whose name is Bjarke Ingels.
Kudos, Bjarke... I love your building!

La Grande Arche de la Défense is a monument and building in the business district of La Défense to the west of Paris.
The Arche is almost a perfect cube (width: 108m, height: 110m, depth: 112m); it has been suggested that the structure looks like a four-dimensional hypercube (a tesseract) projected onto the three-dimensional world.

Ripple reflections of the opera house.
The Sydney Opera House is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world. It was built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon.
Utzon received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.
The Pritzker Prize citation stated: “ There is no doubt that the Sydney Opera House is his masterpiece. It is one of the great iconic buildings of the 20th century, an image of great beauty that has become known throughout the world – a symbol for not only a city, but a whole country and continent. ”
The Sydney Opera House situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007.

Address: Ved Vesterport, Copenhagen, Denmark
* The office building "At Western Gate" is designed by Danish architect Ole Falkentorp (1886-1948)
He was apprenticed as a bricklayer in 1905, later as an architect by Heinrich Wenck
Falkentorps architectural expression moved from neoclassicism to modernism to functionalism, represented by remarkable works as the housing development “Classen Garden” (1924, together with Carl Petersen and Paul Baumann), the office building at the North Port (1930-32, together with Paul Baumann) and the Hotel Astoria (1935) next to the Central Station, all in Copenhagen. Falkentorp was from 1911 an engaged and debating a member of The Free Architekt association.

Falkentorps arkitektoniske udtryk bevægede sig fra nyklassicisme over modernisme til funktionalisme, repræsenteret af bemærkelsesværdige arbejder som boligbebyggelsen Classens Have (1924, s.m. bl.a. Carl Petersen og Povl Baumann), kontorhuset Ved Vesterport (1930-32, s.m. Povl Baumann) og Hotel Astoria (1935) ved Hovedbanegården, alle i København.

The Voss Technical College by AART Architects will be will be Norway's largest school, with a total college population of 380 students and 100 employees. The college, where facades, interior walls and the bearing constructions are all built of solid wood. The college is based on a clear architectural concept where the vocational programs are distributed in an H-composition of rectangular building units, which stretch out from a large common area (the college square) towards the green landscape. In addition to the vocational programs, the college will also include a multi-purpose hall, providing space for sports and cultural events. With its architectural composition and large windows and skylights, the college provides a bright and comfortable learning environment. A learning environment where daylight and scenic views are highly prioritized, and the college square along with the multi-purpose hall provide space for community and cultural experiences.

Looking north along the Water Garden where the canal acts as a moat between the student rooms and the lawns with low walls and waterside planting form a screen.
In the distance can be seen the 2005 Arumugam Building (architect Stephen Hodder) which now houses the porter's lodge and college entrance.
A bronze sculpture, "Achaean (1959)", by Barbara Hepworth sits next to the original entrance to the college. The path (on which I'm standing) runs across the Water Garden and over a bridge into the building through what used to be the Porter's Lodge - but is now a couple of glazed seminar rooms.
This shot gives a nice view of how the tamerisk bushes overhang the staggered brick walls screening the student rooms from the garden.
All structural elements of the buildings at St.Catz were designed by Jacobsen on a 3 metre grid. Here one of the windows of the lecture theatre set between concrete columns reflects the roof beams and the brise soleil behind me.

The VM Houses are two residential blocks formed as the letters V and M. The blocks are formed as such to allow for daylight, privacy and views. The vis-à-vis with the neighbour is eliminated by pushing the slab in its centre, ensuring diagonal views to the vast and open, surrounding fields. All apartments have a double-height space to the north and wide panoramic views to the south. The logic of the diagonal slab utilized in the V house is broken down in smaller portions for the M house. In this project, the typology of the Unite d' Habitation of Le Corbusier is reinterpreted and improved; the central corridors are short and receive light from both ends, like bullet holes penetrating the building. The VM Houses offer more than 80 different apartment types that are programmatically flexible and open to the individual needs of contemporary life - a mosaic of different life forms.
For March my Oxford Month by Month series moves to St.Catherine's College - Oxford's first (and only) modernist college, completed in 1963 to the designs of Danish architect Arne Jacobsen.
It sits on a flat sliver of land between two arms of the Cherwell River. This is the first view you get crossing the bridge from Manor Rd to approach the college from the north.
To the left of the river bank behind the wall is the Master's House and in the background the college bell-tower.
View across St.Catherine's College water garden towards the western range of student rooms.
St.Catz is unlike other Oxford colleges in that it is very open - ie. it is not surrounded by a high wall with only one entrance gate guarded by a porter. The surrounding landscape penetrates into the college gardens (and vice versa) and it is possible to enter the college grounds from the public riverside walk.
A couple of points worth noting here - apart from the bell-tower no building on the site exceeds the 3 storey height of the student accommodation blocks and the ground floor student rooms face outwards onto the surrounding landscape screened on this side only by low walls and tamarisk trees.
Campus Bornholm by CUBO Architects gathers all higher learning institutions in a new Campus environment. A mixture of educational directions and students of all ages creates a multifunctional interior that responds to demands for a flexible and rational setting designed with a human touch.
Beyond the bike-shed is a circular island (originally a turning circle for cars?) from which the path into the college leads off to the left past the Barbara Hepworth sculpture.
The tree in the centre of the island is acer saccharum.
The Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, an interesting Concert Hall in Amsterdam.
