The Hemisfèric is a unique and spectacular building, designed by Santiago Calatrava.
It represents a great human eye: the eye of wisdom. It symbolises looking and observing the world, which visitors can explore through stunning audiovisual projections.
It has an ovoid roof more than 100 metres in length, and contains a great sphere that houses the projection room. A 24,000 square metre pond surrounds this structure, making the whole area one of amazing beauty.
The outer ring of the Hemisfèric carries the name Carl Sagan, in homage to the great populariser of astronomy.
It has a large screen , housing two projection systems in a concave screen covering more than 900 square metres:
•IMAX Dome large format cinema (10 times larger than conventional frames)
•Digital projections: astronomy shows and entertainment performances
Street art seen in Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch. I love the two old tube trains on top of the building, and the "Buy Sh*t" billboard.
Uber’s headquarters rises along 3rd Street with a kind of measured confidence that feels very South of Market. The building is unapologetically contemporary—curved glass wrapping the corner, a vertical band of warm-toned panels cutting through the façade—but it avoids the flashiness often associated with tech architecture. Instead, it reads as controlled, corporate, and distinctly urban.
This is a place-forward image. The wide sidewalk, traffic signals, and open street foreground establish the building as part of the city’s daily circulation rather than a sealed-off campus. Reflections ripple across the glass, pulling in fragments of sky and neighboring structures, while the rounded corner softens what could otherwise feel imposing. The vertical accent panel introduces warmth and rhythm, breaking up the expanses of blue-gray glazing and giving the façade a human-scaled cadence.
Photographed under soft, even light, the building’s materials stay honest. There’s no dramatic contrast, no theatrical shadow play—just clean surfaces, calm geometry, and a sense of spatial order. Palm fronds edge into the frame, a subtle reminder that this is San Francisco’s version of corporate modernism, shaped as much by climate and streetscape as by brand identity.
Uber’s presence here reflects a broader shift in the city: large tech companies embedding themselves into existing neighborhoods rather than retreating into suburban isolation. The architecture mirrors that reality—open, legible, and grounded at street level. It’s not a spectacle building. It’s infrastructure for a certain era of San Francisco, captured in a moment of quiet between movements.
We went bowling today, it was cosmic light show bowling all day.(~.~)
For some reason it just cracks me up to be bowling under the black lights. What's even more fun is trying to get a decent picture under the black lights...yikes!
I am slipping this Bench Monday shot in just under the wire. We were out and about most of the day.
HBM!
This energetic urban scene captures Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan—one of the busiest and most iconic pedestrian intersections in the world. Despite the rainy weather, the crosswalk is brimming with umbrellas, pedestrians, and nonstop motion, exemplifying the organized chaos that makes this location a global symbol of metropolitan life.
In the background, the sleek glass skyscrapers—including the Shibuya Scramble Square Tower—rise dramatically into the overcast sky. The architecture here is striking: a blend of modern corporate design and futuristic curves, with construction cranes signaling Tokyo’s ever-evolving skyline. The twisting facade of the Tokyu building draws the eye upward, standing as a bold contrast to the flow of people below.
Bright LED billboards and familiar logos—Netflix, SoftBank, and others—advertise everything from pop culture to mobile plans, highlighting Shibuya’s role as a cultural and commercial hub. The constant pulse of advertising, traffic, and footfall makes this not just a crossing, but a cultural stage where Tokyo’s tech, fashion, and business worlds intersect.
In the foreground, a black Mazda kei car with yellow license plates waits at the red light, accentuating the everyday reality of urban transit amidst the cinematic drama of the crossing. The shiny wet pavement adds reflective texture, enhancing the mood of the moment and making the colors pop despite the grey skies.
Whether you’re a traveler, photographer, or city enthusiast, this snapshot of Shibuya’s rainy-day rush hour perfectly captures the spirit, structure, and spectacle of modern Tokyo.
Rincon Hill, one of San Francisco's most historic neighborhoods, offers a rich tapestry of architectural styles that narrate the city's evolution. This area juxtaposes early 20th-century brick warehouses with sleek, contemporary high-rises. The iconic Salesforce Tower looms in the background, representing the modern tech-driven cityscape, while the classic brick facades of older buildings hint at a bygone industrial era. This blend of old and new creates a visually captivating skyline that captures San Francisco's dynamic spirit. Notably, the area's redevelopment has been guided by principles that preserve historical elements while accommodating cutting-edge designs. The neighborhood's architectural diversity and proximity to the Bay make it a fascinating study in urban adaptation, embodying the juxtaposition of heritage and innovation that defines San Francisco's unique architectural identity.
