Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) is a multipurpose development area in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The area is located around Jalan Ampang, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Binjai, Jalan Kia Peng and Jalan Pinang. There are a number of shopping complexes such as Suria KLCC and Avenue K. There are also hotels within walking distance such as G Tower, Mandarin Oriental, Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur and InterContinental Kuala Lumpur hotel. Designed to be a city within a city, the 100-acre site hosts the tallest twin buildings in the world, a shopping mall, office buildings and several hotels. A public park and a mosque have also been built in the area and open to everyone. The whole project is cooled via district cooling located on the property. Constructed between 1993 and 1998, the Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2004. Currently, it still holds the record for the tallest twin buildings in the world. It is the headquarters of Petronas, a Fortune 100 state-owned oil company and also the largest company in Southeast Asia. The towers and the mall below were designed by Argentinian born architect César Pelli. Construction started in 1991 and was completed 7 years later, in the midst of Asian Financial Crisis and Reformasi movement. Due to the soil conditions of the site, the buildings were built on one of the deepest foundations in the world. The Building Services engineer contractor was Flack + Kurtz which is currently part of the WSP | Parsons Brinkerhoff Company. The 88-storey towers were built using mostly reinforced concrete, with steel-and-glass facades to resemble Islamic motifs which were intended to reflect the official and majority religion of Malaysia. The cross section of the tower resembles Rub el Hizb, which further solidifies the Islamic motif in the tower design. 19869

The multipurpose hall, built by Frei Otto and Carlfried Mutschler for the 1975 Bundesgartenschau (federal garden exhibition) in Mannheim, Germany, is held to be the largest timber lattice shell structure in the world to date. With its experimental history, open spatial qualities and integration into the urban topography and its greenery, the Multihalle embodies an “open space” for an “open society.”The Multihalle embodies this approach like no other building of the 20th century.

The Aerial Enforcer is a multipurpose assistance frigate that can carry a large range of missions, from military reinforcement to medical assistance.

It carries 4 standard Blacktron pods and one advanced pod. Those can be deployed to assist Blacktron forces in battle or recover equipments or spacecraft that have lost their pods.

The Aerial Enforcer can also transport some Universal Pod Enhancement (UPE). The UPE attach to a pods, giving him new abilities, like more firepower, speed, detection sensors, etc. The UPE loaded on the frigate depends on its mission.

It also carries a landing module that can be filled with the needed equipment. The module is unmaned and needs a pod to reach the surface. Once on the ground, the module will deploy a sentinel rover for protection until the Blacktron troops can reach it.

My second entry to Brick Pirate challenge. I had a lot of fun building this Blacktron 2 ship. I wanted to keep lots of the BT2 features while using a modern building style. The pods were the obvious part, I had to include them as the major playing feature.

Palace, riverport, barracks, jail, treasures warehouse, house of worship, museum, office, flag farm, tourist attraction, events venue, ice rink, and much more...

And they call it 'the Tower' despite the fact that it has multiple towers and none of them stands our particularly high above the rest...

Widely used as a flavoring in cooking, but it has also been used as a medicine throughout ancient and modern history.

It was believed that garlic held incredible healing powers. In southern Slavic regions in was used to protect oneself from demonic forces, witches and sorcerers.

And of course - a vampire in hiding could be spotted by not being willing to eat garlic. HMM :D

Relatively small but sturdy multipurpose combat vehicle that can transport and provide remarkable fire support for 4 troopers in various harsh environments.

If you're thinking that i'm just lazy and used that turret from an already existing MOC of mine (Kamacops) - you are wrong (mostly). Because actually this thing came first, but I liked the turret so much that I couldn't resist building a tank with it. And there you have it: now this turret is shared between one fine light tank and a *meh* strange armored car (which is fine for military vehicles actually).

St. Thomas City Hall National Historic Site of Canada:

Address: 545 Talbot Street, St. Thomas, Ontario

Recognition Statute: Historic Sites and Monuments Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. H-4)

Designation Date: 1984-11-23

Existing plaque: 545 Talbot Street, St. Thomas, Ontario

City halls illustrate the emergence of urban areas in a predominantly rural and agricultural l9th century Canada, and reflect the growth of municipal governments. Built 1898-1899, this city hall is an impressively sited, well-designed example of late Victorian civic building. Incorporated as a city in 1881, St. Thomas sponsored a design competition to choose an appropriate symbol of its future. Neil Darrach's winning proposal features massive blocks of rough-faced stone, elaborate exterior carving, a commanding tower and a richly detailed interior which is largely intact.

Description of Historic Place

St. Thomas City Hall is an elaborate, two-and-a-half storey, stone building with a commanding clock tower. It was built at the end of the 19th century in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The hall is prominently located on the main street of downtown St. Thomas on a generous setback. The formal recognition consists of the building on its legal property.

Heritage Value

St. Thomas City Hall was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1984 because: it illustrates the emergence of urban areas in a predominantly rural and agricultural 19th-century Canada; it reflects the growth of municipal governments; and it is an impressively sited, well-designed example of a late Victorian civic building and one of the few relatively unaltered Richardsonian Romanesque Town Halls surviving in Canada.

St. Thomas City Hall is a representative example of the large, strictly administrative city halls which began to appear across Canada in the 1880s and 1890s. The construction of such a city hall reflected the tremendous growth of the city in the last quarter of the 19th century, a direct result of improved railway service. Designed primarily to house the city’s administrative services, this building’s monumental scale and prominent location reflected both the increased size of municipal government, and the community’s civic pride and ambition. The city’s expectation of continued progress was typical of communities whose prosperity was fuelled by railway facilities.

The exterior form and interior arrangement of St. Thomas City Hall are typical of large, administrative city halls built in medium-size cities during the late 19th century. By the end of the century, urban town halls had evolved from multipurpose buildings, to large-scale, single-function, purpose-built buildings which accommodated only the administrative and legislative functions of municipal government. The construction of large-scale, single-purpose buildings reflected both the growth of urban areas and the expansion of municipal responsibility for local services.

The Richardsonian Romanesque style was used extensively for public buildings in Canada during the late 1880s and 1890s. Designed by local architect Neil Darrach, the St. Thomas City Hall is a restrained representative of the style in its massive scale and quality, its rusticated stonework, prominent clock tower, steep pavilion roofs, and round-arched openings. The elaborate interior, with its vaulted, two-storey council chamber, was in keeping with the style of the exterior.

Character-Defining Elements

Key elements which relate to the heritage value of the St. Thomas City Hall include: its monumental scale; features typical of large, administrative city halls of the late 19th century, including its Richardsonian Romanesque style, prominent clock tower, division into quadrants, and elaborate interior detailing; features associated with its Richardsonian Romanesque style, including the use of heavy-cut sandstone for foundations and entrances, the projecting arched entrances, the arcaded round-arched windows, the steep rooflines, and elaborately carved stone detailing; the division of the building into quadrants, reflected on the exterior in the use of projecting hip-roofed corner pavilions and on the interior by wide, intersecting corridors; the prominent, asymmetrically placed, clock tower, surmounted by a spire; the projecting entrances on the two street elevations, each with round-arched openings, ornate balconies and elaborate, carved detailing; the arcaded groupings of round-headed window openings at the second storey and on the tower, and flat-headed openings at the first storey, joined by pilasters; exterior detailing which emphasizes the vertical and horizontal divisions of the building, including pilasters spanning two storeys, a bold modillion cornice at the roofline, and string courses of sandstone and terra cotta; its elaborate, massively scaled, carved-stone detailing, including corner turrets, pedimented gables, foliated motifs at the two street entrances, and a tower panel showing the name and construction date of the building; the use of high-quality materials, including brick walls, sandstone foundation, stone and terra cotta detailing, and slate roof; surviving remnants of the original interior layout, including the division of each floor into quadrants by wide, intersecting corridors and the room partitioning within those quadrants; surviving remnants of the original council chamber, including its large scale, vaulted ceiling, and third floor visitors gallery; surviving original interior finishes and detailing in the council chamber, corridors and office areas, in some cases extant behind modern finishes, including oak panelling and wainscoting, decorative plaster ceilings, elaborate wood and plaster carving, ornate window and door trim, panelled and glazed doors, baseboards, and wooden railing; art-glass skylight panels, originally located in the council chamber and the entrance to the third floor gallery; detailing in the reading room, including an iron column with fluted capital, supporting a massive chamfered beam; its relationship to its site, including its prominent location on a corner lot; viewscapes of the building from the downtown area, including its prominent clock tower.

The Ford Island Control Tower is part of the Operations Building (designated building S84). This was a multipurpose structure built just to the north of the seaplane base hangars. Like many buildings on Ford Island, it was a brand new building when the Pearl Harbor attack occurred on December 7, 1941. In fact, it was not quite finished with only two of its three rings are in place around the water tank and there was no control tower at the top. Although the control tower was scheduled for construction, it was not in existence at the time of the attack. Aircraft had to be controlled from the building at the base of the water tank seen above. The upper control tower was finally finished on May 1, 1942, five months after the attack. Although it was still not painted the infamous red & white at this time, it was functional. It is uncertain when the tower was painted red & white but photographic evidence exists that show it painted in a camouflage pattern in mid-1944. What is known is that when Tora! Tora! Tora! was filmed in 1969, the tower was red & white so somewhere between 1944 and 1969 the tower was painted as it is seen today and above. Later, the aerological tower was converted into a control deck for civilian touch-and-go practice. The control deck was operated by Hawaii State Department of Transportation with civilian operations starting in 1970 and continuing until 1999. They ended when Barbers Point was closed as a naval air station and a civilian airport opened in its place. In the over eight decades since the attack on Pearl Harbor, this historic landmark — the Ford Island Control Tower — has proudly stood silent guard over Pearl Harbor as a monument to the brave men and women who fought in World War II. Today, the tower is now open to the public for the first time in decades as part of the offering a once-in-a-lifetime view featuring the Pearl Harbor battlefield from the iconic Ford Island Control Tower.

Additionally, the iconic tower has been further immortalized on the silver screen by epic films such as Tora! Tora! Tora!, Midway, and Pearl Harbor forever memorializing our Greatest Generation and the “day which will live in infamy.”
