A cool and elegant design of a globe placed on the heart of Pasay City, Philippines. A sign where the biggest mall in Asia reside, called "SM Mall of Asia".
I remember one quote i read a while ago, from a famous and renowned architect, saying that "architecture is the wise, accurate and magnificent game of volumes under the light". It's beautiful to see how, when a building is designed from this point of view, you can appreciate how the sunlight enters through the openings of the "constructive mass", caressing the walls, and giving shape and texture to everything depending on the materials selected by the architect.
This, in some special, memorable and unique cases, turns a building into an inhabitable work of art.

In 1861 a plan was formed to construct a breakwater off Laggers Point to make Trial Bay a harbour of refuge for those ships too big to cross river mouths.[3] Further plans included the idea to use prison labour for the construction, with a prison established specifically for that purpose. In 1877 work on the gaol commenced and in 1886 it was proclaimed a prison and inmates moved there.
The breakwater they worked on was to extend some 1500 metres out into the bay, built from granite blocks quarried from the nearby hill. Heavy gales caused damage to the structure as it progressed over the years. In 1898 and 1899 new wings were built on the prison, suggesting work was intending to continue, but in 1903 it was abandoned. Apparently the prison was costly to run and didn't fit with ideas of penology of the time.
About 300 metres of breakwater had been built, and it had shoaled up the bay considerably. A wharf had been built inside the breakwater in 1898, not meant for public use, but which ended up used regularly by passenger ships which could not navigate the Macleay River mouth. Today only a small section of the breakwater remains, about 50 metres, and nothing of the wharf.
In 1915 the gaol was reopened to hold German wartime internees. Most were single men of some education and included officers of the German Army Reserve. A rumour went around in 1917 that a German landing party planned to free the men and when a German raider the SS Wolf was seen in 1918 the men were moved to the large camp at Holsworthy outside Sydney.
This was the last use made of the prison and it was stripped and fixtures sold off in 1922. Today it's open to the public, operated as a heritage site by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Wikipedia..
Random shot taken during a feature in Suffolk. I'm led to believe this structure is something to do with the cooling outlets from Sizewell B nuclear power station, which was about half a mile away.
B&W treatment in LR with a contrast boost to bring out what little horizon there was - it was a grey, flat day that was pretty gash for landscape photography.

2021 New Year's Card is a gatefold structure using 24# Southworth parchment paper.Text: Happy New Year – Calibri Body; 2021 – Bookman Old Style; With the Promise of Spring! – Lucida Calligraphy. Image: Emerging buds from an azalea bush in our front yard. This year I had in mind to make a New Year’s card that not only celebrated the beginning of the coming new year, but also had a hopeful bent. I waffled some on structure and even tried some structures which would have meant that I would be sending out New Year’s cards for St Patrick’s Day cards! (which I blush to admit I did perhaps 25 years ago!). Settled on a basic gatefold with a very basic text. The last part, finding the image, was a bit more difficult. For the 2018 card I used the image of a cedar branch from the neighbor’s tree across the street. So I started looking for interesting flower buds – the promise of spring – on our twice daily walks. And finally settled on the buds on one of the azalea bushes in our front yard.
The UAE’s latest cultural landmark, Dubai Frame is an iconic structure that ‘frames’ impressive views of Old and New Dubai, while serving as a metaphorical bridge connecting the emirate’s rich past with its magnificent present. Offering spectacular panoramic views across the city, Dubai Frame celebrates the story of Dubai from its early establishment to its ambitious plans for future development.
Interesting facts:
Dubai Frame measures 150 metres high and 95 metres wide.
Over 9,900 cubic metres of reinforced concrete, 2,000 tons of steel and 2,900 square metres of laminated glass were used in its construction.
More than 15,000 square metres of gold-coloured stainless steel covers Dubai Frame, which incorporates a ring design inspired by the Expo 2020 Dubai logo.
Dubai Frame’s rectangular design was inspired by the ‘golden ratio’ of 1.618, which many architects and artists believe forms an ideal structural balance.
The elevator to the Sky Deck carries visitors 48 floors in 75 seconds.
The building mainly serves as an observatory, providing views of old Dubai in the north and newer parts in the south

recent architectural structure nearby medieval city centre of Bruges, Belgium. it's made as structure where busses drop tourists to go buy chocolats, lace, eat fries on the market (and maybe to take pictures of the medieval aspect of the village that is acclaimed as UNESCO world heritage)

Structured wiring is the cabling infrastructure where all outside services enter the server room, with Multimedia Tech’s design and installation are governed by a set of professional standards that specify wiring using different types of cables, which are usually are Cat5, Cat6, Cat6a, coaxial, and fiber optic. These standards define how to lay the cabling in various topologies in order to meet the needs of the customer, typically using a central patch panel in a server room.
