A new part of the city developing on the site of the former blast furnaces in Esch Belval, Luxembourg
North Shore, Pittsburgh, completed 1998
You can see reflections of the golden Andy Warhol Bridge and the downtown-area buildings (on the opposite side of the Allegheny River) reflected in the glass. I was standing on the Rachel Carson Bridge. The ivy on the right covers a bridge abutment. This was early in the morning when the sun made the yellow bridges look so bright I had to reduce the saturation to make them look more natural on other photos.
The old Alcoa Building (1953) in Pittsburgh was a rectangular 31-story skyscraper with windows that were reminiscent of rounded-cornered, rectangular portholes. It was designed as a showpiece for the use of aluminum as a building material. Aluminum was used for the skin of the building and for utilities. Because of its light weight, substantial savings were made on the steel frame. That building is now known as the Regional Enterprise Tower.
In 1998, Alcoa moved its corporate center from Downtown Pittsburgh to the North Shore of the Allegheny River. This aluminum and glass facade reflects the city across the Allegheny River in its wave-like structure. Instead of hundreds of private offices, the interior has an open structure to encourage discussions and collaboration.
Looking at this building from the other side of the river, it isn't as impressive-looking as it is from this view. Note that on the far left is PNC Park (baseball stadium.)
Architects:
Exterior - Rusli Associates
Interior - The Design Alliance, which was also contracted to renovate the interior of the 1953 building.

A solitary dark knight trudges through a barren, haunted landscape—his silhouette swallowed by fog, his presence the only anchor in a decaying world. In the distance, a shadowy structure looms—part barn, part memory, part threat.
This piece emerged from the question: What remains when all light has fled?
A story of ruin, memory, and a quiet dread.

Le Mans se trouve à la confluence des rivières de la Sarthe et de l'Huisne. Ancienne capitale provinciale du Maine et du Perche à partir du xvie siècle, elle voit le mariage de Geoffroy V d'Anjou et Mathilde l'Emperesse, fille du roi d'Angleterre, jetant ainsi les bases de l'Empire Plantagenêt, et la naissance d'Henri II. Le vieux Mans, dénommé Cité Plantagenêt, est le quartier historique de la ville.
Frankfurt am Main Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) was built in 1888.
