The view from Forsyth way is a symbolistic view of the current MFA. The old and new buildings are sitting next to each other, and are creating a dynamic transition that the museum has an active metabolism.
I updated the glass structure to increase accuracy. Now, I think the view of my creation also refers to this dynamic transition slightly better.

One of the most notable religious structures in Charleston is St. Philip's Church, which has a large, multi-tiered tower inspired by the work of Sir Christopher Wren and James Gibbs that juts out into the middle of Church Street above several Tuscan-style porticoes. Housing the oldest religious congregation in the state of South Carolina which was founded in 1681, the building replaced a series of earlier buildings, the first of which located on the present site of St. Michael’s Church at Meeting Street and Broad Street, until the congregation relocated to the present site in 1710, with their first church on the site being completed in 1723. Following a fire that destroyed the earlier church in 1835, the present structure was designed by Joseph Hyde and constructed between 1835 and 1836, with the tower being added by prominent local architect Edward Brickell White between 1848 and 1850. The tower for a time served as a rear range lighthouse to guide ships into Charleston Harbor, from 1893 until 1915, and temporarily in 1921. The church was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1973 owing to its architectural and historical importance.

Built in 1938 to look much older, this structure is a police station.
Havana (Spanish: La Habana) is the capital city, province, major port, and leading commercial center of Cuba. The city proper has a population of 2.1 million inhabitants, and it spans a total of 728.26 square kilometers (281.18 square miles) – making it the largest city by area, the most populous city, and the third largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean region. The city extends mostly westward and southward from the bay. The sluggish Almendares River traverses the city from south to north, entering the Straits of Florida a few miles west of the bay.
The city of Havana was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and due to its strategic location it served as a springboard for the Spanish conquest of the continent becoming a stopping point for the treasure-laden Spanish galleons on the crossing between the New World and the Old World. King Philip II of Spain granted Havana the title of City in 1592. Walls as well as forts were built to protect the old city. The sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana's harbor in 1898 was the immediate cause of the Spanish–American War.
Contemporary Havana can essentially be described as three cities in one: Old Havana, Vedado and the newer suburban districts. The city is the center of the Cuban government, and home to various ministries, headquarters of businesses and over 90 diplomatic offices.

Skypoint is a tent-like structure over the intersection of 2nd Avenue and Broadway in downtown Billings, Montana, USA. Its highest point is 73 feet above ground level. There are three "sails" that make up the structure. The largest sail can move to let the sun through or to cover the intersection if it rains. Skypoint is part of the plan to revitalize downtown Billings and attract more people to downtown.
Skypoint was completed in 2002 and was originally named the "Defining Element" until it got its current name in a naming contest. It was built as a new icon for the city of Billings and to hold events such as the Strawberry Festival, the Christmas Stroll, and other events.
