Bids for building the project on lands to be used for the 1998 exposition were solicited internationally. The concept was originally designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava in 1995, and built by Necso [Wikipedia]
I first saw this tree many years ago when I used to drive through Glencoe quite often. I remember thinking at the time, why would a tree choose to grow out of a rock with all this space around it. Obviously the tree knew best as it is still the only tree near it.
Existe la libertad ?
No lo se pero voy en su búsqueda
y siempre hay un rayo de sol

Norte Grande, Velas de São Jorge, Azores, Portugal.
São Jorge is the island of the cliffs and fajãs. The fajãs are permanent debris fields along the coast, built from the collapsing cliffs and, on this island, there are more than 40.
Situated on the North Coast on the bottom of a cliff around 400 meters high, Fajã do Ouvidor is one of the largest and most populated. It took its name due to its association with Valério Lopes de Azevedo, the superintendent ("Ouvidor" in Portuguese) of the Donatary-Captain at the time, who was one of the principal property owners.
Norte Grande, Velas de São Jorge, Açores, Portugal.
São Jorge é a ilha das arribas, falésias e principalmente das fajãs. As fajãs são pequenas planícies junto à costa, que tiveram origem em desabamentos de terras ou lava e, nesta ilha, existem mais de quarenta.
Situada na costa norte e no sopé de uma falésia que ronda os quatrocentos metros de altura, a Fajã do Ouvidor é uma das maiores e mais povoadas. Tomou o seu nome pelo facto de Valério Lopes de Azevedo, Ouvidor do Capitão Donatário, ter sido um dos seus principais proprietários.
“Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Ciência Viva”
wurde vom Architekten
João Luís Carrilho da Graça
entworfen und im Jahr 1999 mit dem Großen Preis des portugiesischen Architektenverbands ausgezeichnet.
Somit stellt dieses Gebäude ein Musterbeispiel für die architektonischen Veränderungen dar, die im Zuge der Weltausstellung EXPO'98 in Lissabon stattgefunden haben.
Mit durchschnittlich 800 Besuchern pro Tag ist der “Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Ciência Viva” heute eines der meistfrequentierten Museen in Portugal.
Habe euch zum Vergleich ein Foto von einem Tadao-Ando-Bau hinzugefügt.
Man sieht ganz deutlich, dass die europäischen Architekten oft nicht so sehr auf die Gestaltung des Betons durch die Schaltafeln achten und dass die Löcher der Schalungsanker oft eher zufällig platziert sind.
Das Baumodul ist hier in der Regel ein Vielfaches von 12,5 cm. Die Schaltafeln dürften hier 50 x 150 groß sein.
Bei Tadao Ando haben die Schaltafeln das Tatamimaß, also ca. 90 x 180.
85,0 cm × 170 cm (Tatami-Standardgröße für große Wohn- und Bürogebäude)
88,0 cm × 176 cm (in Tokio und in Ostjapan)
91,0 cm × 182 cm (in Nordjapan)
95,5 cm × 191 cm (in Kyōto und Westjapan)
Tadao Ando ergänzt später die konischen Vertiefungen, die auf die frühere Lage der Schalungsanker hinweisen, oft durch künstliche Bohrungen, um eine japanischen Glückszahl zu erreichen.
Bei João Luís Carrilho da Graça scheinen sie eher willkürlich.
Hilde wird jetzt einige Japanbilder zeigen, durch die ihr vielleicht wieder auf diesen Unterschied aufmerksam werdet.

One of the first things noticed when approaching the church Senhor do Bonfim ( Salvador, Brazil) - thousands of colored ribbons tied to the fencing surrounding the Bonfim. Each one of these ribbons represents a wish or an intense plea for dreams, love, success, health, peace, energy…. A 200-year-old tradition that again, blends the African faith with Catholicism as superstition and miracle granting powers entwine. The fita or “the measure” acquired its name because at 47cm its size corresponds to the length of the right arm on the statue of Senhor do Bonfim which resides on the altar of the church.
The ribbons are a myriad of colors and have the words “Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia”, or in remembrance of the savior of Bahia written on them. The original fitas were made of silk and written on by hand in silver. These fitas were draped around the neck and adorned with medallions and holy depictions. Nowadays the ribbons are worn as a good luck charm petitioning for miracles big or small.

A campaign to prevent the Chamber of Deputies vote a project to reduce the legal reserve of the Amazon is being conducted by Greenpeace with support from other civil society organisations. The PL 6424/2005, called "Forest 0", reducing the reserves of the Amazon legal private property from 80% to 50% and allows an offset deforestation in different areas of the originals. The text, authored by Senator Flexa Ribeiro (PSDB-PA), also opens space for the planting of so-called energy plants (such as palm, castor bean, babassu and sugar cane). To support the campaign, sign here (I found it only in portuguese):

Pffft, the weather is so, so miserable here at the moment, so here's another shot of Dusty, our house rabbit, having fun bouncing around the garden when the weather was better.
FAFE (Portugal): Casa do Penedo.
Casa construída nos anos 70 (terminada em 1974) a partir do aproveitamento de quatro rochas. As paredes externas foram revestidas com pedregulhos, semelhantes às rochas originais.
A casa tem dois pisos. No primeiro há uma sala e uma pequena cozinha. No andar de cima, uma casa de banho e três quartos. Tudo bem pequeno, inclusive as camas, para caber no espaço deixado pelas pedras.
Lagoa do Fogo (English: Lagoon of Fire) is a crater lake within the Agua de Pau stratovolcano in the center of the island of São Miguel Island in the Azores. The governmental authorities do not allow any modern construction around this lake. This lake is the highest above sea level on São Miguel Island. (wikipedia)
Shisen-dō (詩仙堂) is a Buddhist temple of the Sōtō Zen sect in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It is registered as a historic site of Japan. It stands on the grounds of its founder, the Edo period intellectual Ishikawa Jōzan (1583–1672), who established the temple in 1641.
A room in the main temple displays portraits of thirty-six Chinese poets. The selection of the poets was based on the opinion of Hayashi Razan. The portraits were executed by Kanō Tan'yū. This and some other parts of the building date to the time of Ishikawa Jōzan.
The temple's gardens are considered masterworks of Japanese gardens.[1] One of them includes a device called a sōzu, a type of shishi-odoshi designed to scare away wild animals such as deer by making a loud noise. Water trickles into a bamboo tube, and when it reaches a certain level, it upsets the balance of the tube. The tube tips over on a pivot, discharging the water, and turns upright, striking a rock and emitting a loud clapping noise.
ARCOS DE VALDEVEZ (Portugal): Espigueiros do Soajo.
O conjunto dos Espigueiros de Soajo compõem uma eira comunitária constituída por 24 espigueiros, todos em pedra e assentes num afloramento de granito. O mais antigo data de 1782. Alguns destes espigueiros são ainda hoje utilizados pela população. (Wikipédia)
It's impossible to explain creativity. It's like asking a bird, 'How do you fly?' You just do.
