The Central Shaheed Minar, an imposing structure in red bricks, rises seventy one feet high into the open sky from its base and is dedicated to the martyrs of the Language Movement. The three seventy-one feet columns, the fifty-two feet base and the eight steps leading up to the base are symbolic of our culture and events in our national life. The structure was completed in 2008, and its designer is Architect Rabiul Islam.
The distinctive structure of the Imperial War Museum North, at Salford Quays.
The Imperial War Museum North (or IWM North) is a striking building designed by architect Daniel Libesjkind and rising above the waters of the Manchester Ship Canal at Salford Quays.
The museum was opened in 2002 and is one of five branches of the Imperial War Museum – the first in the north of England. It contains both permanent and temporary exhibits on warfare and conflict.
The most prominent part of the structure is the 55m high metallic shard, which rises above the main museum and offers a viewing platform looking out across the rest of the Quays and beyond into Trafford, Salford and Manchester.
Salford Quays is a huge urban regeneration project on the site of the old Manchester Docks at the end of the Manchester Ship Canal.
Previously rundown with the falling away of industry and the decline of the canal, the entire area has now been reborn, with the construction of numerous residential and leisure buildings.
As well as apartment blocks and houses, the Quays are home to the Lowry arts and leisure centre, the Lowry Outlet Mall and the Imperial War Museum North. MediaCityUK – a new home for the BBC in the North of England is in the final stages of its construction.
The Quays are a popular tourist attraction – both for those visiting the buildings named above and also for those who just come to wander along the waterside. They are also host to numerous events throughout the year, including triathlons and swims, with people dipping into the canal water which previously would have been dangerous to their health.
This is a revamped version of the Heart House featured in "The Hand Sculpted House." Note the bale-cob hybrid construction; the surface of a bale is visible just below the blue tarp on the left.
This technique makes for walls that have a way higher R value (the walls are highly insulative rather than depending so much on thermal mass of cob).
As noted in most literature about cob, the building feels much larger once inside.

Dominican Square - " Fish Market "
The Dominican Square comes from Freedom Square Zámečnická short street. The most prominent structures are complex New Town Hall ( formerly the seat of the Provincial Assembly and the court) and the St. Michael church with a beautiful baroque pulpit, which binds to one of Brno's reputation.
Church. Michael is the temple of the former Dominican monastery, founded in the years 1228-1238. When this church founded Moravian Margrave Ottokar I., son of Vladislav II ., in the first half of the 13th century Dominican order. Dilapidated medieval church was destroyed during the siege of Brno by Swedes. The baroque reconstruction in the 17th century (consecrated in 1679), author of the project was John the Baptist Erna. A special feature is the orientation change of the church whose façade with an impressive double spiers is heading east.

Baroque cathedral is its large front facing toward the former Fish Market. Above the portal, you can see the signs of Leo donors of Kaunitz and his wife Eleanor, born Dietrichsteins. In the 18th century before the temple was built terrace with stone sculptures.
Nave measures 49 meters and its width is 19 meters. In the church there are a number of rare paintings, sculptures and decorative marble elements. A special feature of the church is the pulpit in Baroque style, which pressed Josef Winterhalder 1747. The main altar is a monumental three-story structure, decorated with statues.
View of the street corner Locksmith and Sword Street (1918 )
The earlier part of the Dominican Square was also a gothic chapel which stood on the street corner entering the mouth of the Locksmith street. In fact, the two chapels: one dedicated to St. Wenceslas and the other Mary. In the fifteenth or sixteenth century chapel changed patron, the Virgin Mary replaced Cyril and Methodius. Chapel of Our Lady founded by Czech King Wenceslas II. Deed on 25 března (March) 1297.
Royal property did not stay long. John of Luxemburg the third November 1322 gave the widow of Vaclav II., Eliska Rejčce and joined the house, which was located near the tabernacle. Rejčka house and chapel transferred Cistercian monastery in Old Brno. The scope of the Cistercian chapel remained until the abolition of their order by Josef II. in 1782. Like many other religious buildings it has since served as a military depot (a similar fate had church. Nicholas in Freedom Square).
City of Brno former chapel took over in 1902. City officials simply decided to demolish part of the redevelopment. Against this step rebelled cultural elite and conservation authorities, even they and the Central Commission for art historical sights in Vienna protested, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy . Nothing, however, what was in 1908 not applicable went of this historically valuable building to the ground. Today you can see some of the historical fragments of the former royal chapel in the cloister of the New City Hall, many other stone fragments is closed to the public because they are kept in the corridors bomb shelter in the Petrova rock.
The terrace at the church. Michael is 10 baroque statues.

Description of work: The Villa la Foce and farm sit in the clay hills of southern Tuscany overlooking the Val d'Orcia. The Villa itself was built in the 15th century as a hostel to house pilgrims and merchants traveling the via Francigena. There are numerous buildings on the 3, 500 acre property including a castle, church, school house, clinic and several farmhouses. Antonio Origo and his wife Iris Origo purchased the property in 1924 and employed Cecil Pinsent to remodel and rebuild the Villa and gardens. Pinsent designed the gardens in a Renaissance style using a structure of simple, elegant, box-edged beds and green enclosures that give shape to the Origos' shrubs, perennials and vines, and created a garden of soaring cypress walks, native cyclamen, lawns and wildflower meadows. The property is currently maintain by the Origo sisters and can be rented out for parties, events and vacations.

A World War Two Armoured Fighting Vehicle Training Area and Firing Range, Earthworks and Structures were constructed on Boyton Marshes, these centred around area TM-3915 4704. The 79th Armoured Division were Stationed in this area from April 1943 onwards and may have used these Structures as part of the 'Orford Battle Area' however, it was predominantly used as a Firing Range under Eastern Command Control.
Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) Units would have used the Firing Range for Basic Training and Practice before moving the larger War Office controlled AFV Ranges elsewhere in the country, such as Castlemartin, Warcop and Kirkcudbright. The Training Area is made up of a number of components. The Armoured Fighting Vehicles, now more commonly called 'Tanks' would have driven around the Triangular Trackway centred around TM-3890 4752. The Triangular Track would have provided multiple opportunities to Fire at Targets from different angles during a single run, they would have Fired towards 'Moving Targets' that were probably pulled along behind Protective Banks on a Narrow Gauge Railway, by Winches that were housed in Blockhouses at the eastern end of the Banks. These Banks were roughly 1,542ft and 2,953ft to the south east of the Firing Point, and are about 32-39ft wide and 1,312ft and 1,640ft in length.
Two further Concrete Structures with Earthworks covering Blockhouses, at TM-3921 4728 and TM-3899 4709, were used for Observation but also housed the Winching Mechanism for operating ‘Pull Up’ Targets, that were activated by cables housed in cable runs layed in thin trenches between the Blockhouses and Large Banks. To the east of the Triangular Trackway, were six Low Banks alongside wide shallow ditches which were possibly Targets or Butts for Small Arms Practice. A series of Structures at Banters Barn at TM-3874 4751 were connected to the AFV Range by a concrete road, this location housed the Maintenance and Service Area, and a second group at TM-3875 4735 was also probably associated with the AFV Training Area.
There were four circular features about 30ft in diameter centred around TM-3905 4729, these features resemble the Gun Emplacements of a Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery and may be a 'Mock Battery' forming a Practise Target as part of the Training Area. At the end of 1943 an additional Bank had been built that ran parallel with the sea wall for nearly 3,000ft before connecting with it at TM-3899 4616. The 79th Armoured Division may have used this as 'Mock Sea Wall' in their Trials of 'Funnies' Specially Adapted Tanks that were intended to breach the Atlantic Wall in the D-day Landings, the Bank had later disappeared due to coastal erosion by the end of the War.
This dining structure was complete with roll down screens for a bug free meal. Custom cedar privacy back screen panels with inlays of frosted plexi glass to filter some sunlight. This dining structure was created in the Toronto area.

CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department assisted Placer Hills Fire Protection District with a structure fire on Ponderosa Lane Auburn February 2023.
This is the entrance to the memorial center. Described as "non-architecture" the structure allows a view over the Glane valley, the ruins of the former village, and also of the new, reconstructed one. Rusty steel blades brutally separate the centre of the building, symbolising destruction and remembrance as well as resistance to the elements. Materials, left in their natural state, appear aged.
In the circular entrance hall two large photographs are symbolically displayed. The one depicts Hitler haranguing the crowds at a Nuremberg rally and the other is the sign at the entrance to the ruins of Oradour-sur-Glane "Souviens-toi" (Lest you forget). The permanent exhibition is displayed through contrasting areas in black and red where picture rails hang clear of the wall and depict the Nazi movement and the advance of the division "Das Reich" towards Oradour, and light areas which depict in a much softer way the village and people of Oradour before the massacre.
The feeling of exposure that is reflected in the external appearance and the layout of the exhibition areas enable each visitor to pursue his or her own thoughts. Much importance has been placed on windows and mirrored surfaces, which encourage visitors to make the journey from the past towards the future and explore the other side of the mirror.

This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

Cone-in-cone limestone bed, composed of finely fibrous calcite. This weathered sample is likely derived from an interbed in the Ohio Shale outcrop belt (Frasnian-Famennian, Upper Devonian) of central Ohio, USA.
Cone-in-cone structures are strange features found as interbeds in fine-grained siliciclastic rocks and sometimes found in the outer layers of concretions. They consist of sets of conical structures stacked up within each other. Mineralogically, they are often composed of finely-crystalline fibrous calcite. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed over the years that try to explain cone-in-cone structures. None has emerged as the most popular or most likely (see Lugli et al., 2005 for a long list of proposed formation mechanisms). These structures remain a mystery.

An interesting tangle of pipes, wires, walkways, ladders, and supporting structure at a sawmill. (252a)
Neighbors noticed the two car detached garage at 105 Davis Rd to be going good so they made the call to the Seymour Volunteers. When the tones dropped an automatic mutual aid was requested from the Town of Oxford for a ladder truck as Seymour's was out of service. The fire crews arrived to a fully involved garage fire which was spreading to the exposed section of the 1.5 story wood dwelling which was in close proximity. Fire had extended into the first floor as well as the attic space but quick work from the responders kept the fire from engulfing the dwelling as well. Searchs of the home were negative but the owner was still unaccounted for. As marshals dug throught the rubble which was once the garage in hopes of determining the origin of the fire they made the discovery of human remains amongst the ashes and charred wood. The body which was badly burned was taken by the medical examiners office so an autopsy might reveal the identity of the deceased.
This was a fun garden structure to create. It also has an amazing view overlooking a private golf course in Toronto. The fabric ceiling is retractable and provides some protection from the rain and sun. Endless detail to this structure. This garden structure was crafted in the Toronto area.
