灣仔AIA大樓(1967年)，該建築採用預應力混凝土結構。裙房從山谷中升起5層，裙房內是停車場，裙房的平台上，是辦公樓的入口。
23層高塔樓由此升起，標準層中間為核心筒，樓板從筒中跨越到周邊的外牆體，跨度近10米。而辦公樓部份就無需用柱。該建築的立面，清晰地表達了混凝土結構的形式、模數和重複的韻律，由巴拿丹拿合夥人木下一主筆。

So I haven't been doing great in getting the photos uploaded the same day I took them, but I am sure some of you are glad to see something that was not taken at night or inside!
One thing I have vowed to do for the new year, and with this 365 project is to present my neighborhood and my surroundings to others, but also as a documentary for myself. One thing I wanted to document is this view of the fair city of Lakewood. Its from the window of the stairwell in my apartment building. Sometimes I take the stairs just to get this view. When the sun is setting, it can be nice to get a view of it, over the treetops and rooftops. It may not be the most astounding to some, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Another thing I have vowed to work on this year is HDR. My friend tbower has an amazing collection of tasteful HDRs in his stream. He manages to display a scene with enhanced dynamic range, tastefully done, and similar to what we see with our eyes. I have also seen badly done HDR that is unrealistic and the effect is overdone for my taste, so I know what to avoid! So this scene may not look challenging, exposure-wise, but the sky was quite bright compared to the gloom that covered everything else. This was a 3 exposure HDR (+1, 0, -1) that provided the right amount of range I felt necessary, and I am really happy that it looks "normal" to me.
Steps: not outside my front door, but outside the apartment, so I will count this one at 9 steps.
Rooftop storage is quite popular in Cairo. Just look at the number of tires to be found there. Picture taken from Bab Zuweila.
KeeGuard Contractor is a portable railing system that can be used for temporary or permeant rooftop edge fall protection.
View over Darling Harbour and the Central Business District (CBD) of Sydney from the roof of my hostel, Rooftop Travellers Lodge. The three glowing towers are the Sydney International towers. Sydneys Royal Harbour Bridge is to their left. It looks tiny from this view.
