Gute Nacht München! Was für eine tolle Stimmung es hier gab. Da ich an diesem Ort bereits ein Panorama fotografiert habe, habe ich besonders darauf geachtet hier einiges besser zu machen. Mein Augenmerk lag auf der Komposition / Aufbau, Bildbearbeitung, Verzerrung des Bildes, Standort, Equipment und auch den Gebäuden die im Hintergrund zu sehen sind.
Good Night Munich. What a beautiful mood it was yesterday. Because I already shot a panorama of this subject last year, I tried to improve myself. I tried to improve the composition, post-editing, distortion, POV, equipment, as well as the buildings you can see in the background.
Le pont de Wandre relie, en enjambant la Meuse et le canal Albert, Herstal à Liège. Conçu par le bureau d’études René Greisch, il remplace deux ponts indépendants – un sur chaque voie d’eau – devenus obsolètes suite à la mise au gabarit du canal Albert, dont la largeur est passée de 35 à 85 m. Cet ouvrage, inauguré en 1989, vaudra une distinction au bureau qui l’a imaginé, outre une indéniable reconnaissance internationale.
Long de 524 m, le pont est un ouvrage haubané à pylône central unique d’une hauteur de 102 m, réalisé en béton armé et précontraint. Les travées principales ont une portée de 168 m (Meuse) et 144 m (canal Albert) et sont suspendues au pylône en Y renversé par 19 haubans (entre 73 et 175 m de longueur espacés tous les 6 m au niveau du tablier). La travée d’approche de la rive gauche est désolidarisée du reste et courbe afin de palier d’éventuels tassements dus à la présence d’anciens puits de mine.
La mise en œuvre adoptée a maintenu l’utilisation continue des axes routiers et fluviaux, si bien qu’une grande partie du tablier a été réalisée sur la rive gauche et mise en position par poussage, une technique inédite pour les ponts haubanés. Cette première architecturale mondiale est adéquatement rehaussée par un éclairage de nuit mis en place dès la conception.
Depuis 1993, le pont de Wandre est classé monument du patrimoine historique majeur de Belgique.
The Wandre bridge links, by spanning the Meuse and the Albert canal, Herstal to Liège. Designed by the René Greisch design office, it replaces two independent bridges - one on each waterway - which had become obsolete following the upgrading of the Albert Canal, whose width was reduced from 35 to 85 m. This work, inaugurated in 1989, will be worth a distinction to the office which imagined it, in addition to an undeniable international recognition.
The 524 m long bridge is a cable-stayed structure with a single central pylon, 102 m high, made of reinforced and prestressed concrete. The main spans have a span of 168 m (Meuse) and 144 m (Albert canal) and are suspended from the Y pylon overturned by 19 stay cables (between 73 and 175 m in length spaced every 6 m at the level of the deck). The approach span to the left bank is separated from the rest and curved to compensate for any settlements due to the presence of old mine shafts.
The implementation adopted maintained the continuous use of the road and river axes, so much so that a large part of the deck was carried out on the left bank and put into position by pushing, a new technique for cable-stayed bridges. This world architectural first is adequately enhanced by night lighting implemented from the design stage.
Since 1993, the Wandre bridge has been classified as a major historical heritage monument in Belgium.
The Museum of Pop Culture or MoPOP is a nonprofit museum in Seattle, Washington, United States, dedicated to contemporary popular culture. It was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2000 as the Experience Music Project. Since then MoPOP has organized dozens of exhibits, 17 of which have toured across the U.S. and internationally.
The museum—formerly known as Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (EMP|SFM) and later EMP Museum until November 2016—has initiated many public programs including "Sound Off!", an annual 21-and-under battle-of-the-bands that supports the all-ages scene; and "Pop Conference", an annual gathering of academics, critics, musicians, and music buffs.
MoPOP, in collaboration with the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF), presents the Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Film Festival which takes place every winter. Since 2007, the MoPop celebrates recording artists with the Founders Award for their noteworthy contributions.
Frank Gehry:
Frank Owen Gehry, CC, FAIA (/ˈɡɛəri/; né Goldberg; born February 28, 1929) is a Canadian-born American architect and designer. A number of his buildings, including his private residence in Santa Monica, California, have become world-renowned attractions.
His works are considered among the most important of contemporary architecture in the 2010 World Architecture Survey, leading Vanity Fair to call him "the most important architect of our age".[2] He is also the designer of the National Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial.[3]
The Isle of Portland is a limestone tied island, 6 kilometres (4 mi) long by 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) wide, in the English Channel.[2] Portland is 8 kilometres (5 mi) south of the resort of Weymouth, forming the southernmost point of the county of Dorset, England. A barrier beach called the Chesil Beach joins it to the mainland. The A354 road passes down the Portland end of the beach and then over the Fleet Lagoon by bridge to the mainland. Portland and Weymouth together form the borough of Weymouth and Portland. The population of Portland is 12,400.
Portland is a central part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Portland stone, famous for its use in British and world architecture, including St Paul's Cathedral and the United Nations Headquarters, continues to be quarried.
This is Kings balance near Vitthala temple at Hampi. King Krishnadevraya would sit on the scale hung from this massive structure and gems, spices,food items will be weighed on the other scale and later distributed among his subject.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art, designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, and located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. The museum was inaugurated on 18 October 1997 by former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. Built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Cantabrian Sea, it is one of several museums belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.
One of the most admired works of contemporary architecture, the building has been hailed as a "signal moment in the architectural culture", because it represents "one of those rare moments when critics, academics, and the general public were all completely united about something." The museum was the building most frequently named as one of the most important works completed since 1980 in the 2010 World Architecture Survey among architecture experts. (Wikipedia)

Mir gefiel der Weg als führende Linie durch das Bild bei dieser Aufnahme besonders und die gigantischen Farben mit der schönen Architektur des Olympiastadions dahinter. Was für ein Abend!
I really liked the path as a leading line through the images and the awesome colors of the sunset / blue hour where great with the architecture of the Olympia stadium behind. What a night!
The white chalk cliffs of the East Dorset coast can be clearly seen from the Isle of Portland which has been inhabited since at least the Mesolithic period (the Middle Stone Age). There is evidence of Mesolithic inhabitants at the Culverwell Mesolithic Site, near Portland Bill, and of habitation since then. The Romans occupied Portland, reputedly calling it Vindelis.
Portland is a central part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site and important for its geology and landforms. Portland stone, a limestone famous for its use in British and world architecture, including St Paul's Cathedral and the United Nations Headquarters, continues to be quarried here. In the 17th century, chief architect and Surveyor-General to James I, Inigo Jones, surveyed the area and introduced the local Portland stone to London, using it in his Banqueting House in Whitehall.
His successor, Sir Christopher Wren, the Member of Parliament for nearby Weymouth, used six million tons of white Portland limestone to rebuild destroyed parts of the capital after the Great Fire of London of 1666. Well-known buildings in the capital, including St Paul's Cathedral and the eastern front of Buckingham Palace feature the stone. After the First World War, a quarry was opened to provide stone for the Cenotaph in Whitehall and for half a million gravestones for war cemeteries. This practice continued after WWII.

Attan, or 8tallet in Danish, is a large mixed-use building built in the shape of a figure 8 on the southern side of the suburb of Örestad in Copenhagen, designed by Bjarke Ingels.[1] Winner in the World Architecture Festival 2011.[2] The arc-shaped building has an area of 61,000 square meters of three different types of residential buildings and 10,000 square meters of retail space and offices. It is the largest private construction ever (2022) carried out in Denmark. Commissioned by Store Frederikslund Holding, Høpfner A/S and Danish Oil Company A/S in 2006, it is Ingel's third residential project in Örestad, after the VM houses and the Berget building.[3] ·
History
Referring to his second example of "architectural alchemy", Bjarke Ingels explains his idea with "that by mixing traditional local types, retail, townhouses and apartments in non-traditional ways, you create added value, although not gold."[4] This is achieved by stack the different parts of a neighborhood in layers. They are connected by a pedestrian walkway and cycle path reaching up to the 10th floor, allowing businesses and residences to coexist.[3]
Thomas Christoffersen, BIG's partner responsible for the project, described the approach in more detail:
The apartments are located at the top while the commercial program is at the base of the building. As a result, the different horizontal layers have achieved a quality of their own: the apartments benefit from the view, sunlight and fresh air, while the office spaces merge with the life on the street. This is emphasized by the shape of the Eight which is literally lifted up in the north-east corner and pushed down in the south-west corner, allowing light and air into the south-facing courtyard.[3]
The scheme was based on the type of a perimeter block but pressed in the center to form a rosette shape with two courtyards. In the middle is a 10 meter wide passage that connects the surrounding parts, the park area to the west and the canal area to the east.[5] The retail and business area at the base consists of a café, a daycare center and offices, while the residential area with houses, apartments and penthouses is located above. The closing 10-storey building offers a view of Kalvebod Faelled's fields and marshes to the south. The unusual ramp that winds around the complex is designed to promote a sense of community and encourage interaction between neighbors.[6][7]
Rose Reading Room located at the New York Public Library is a majestic public space, measuring 78 feet by 297 feet—roughly the length of two city blocks—and weaving together Old World architectural elegance with modern technology.

Surprise! Not a shot that my Flickr friends might expect from me.
I happened to stumble across an article this morning about today being World Architecture Day, and I recalled this photo that I took twelve years ago.
This is Fallingwater, a home designed by America's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Fallingwater is built partly over a waterfall in the mountains of southwest Pennsylvania.

Notre Dame - Rebuild The Hope - Tribute by Daniel Arrhakis (2019)
This is a sad day and moment for the entire world ...
In a Europe divided by discord and shrouded in the divisive shadows of uncertainty, this is the time to remember what unites us as a society and the time to rebuild a humanist Europe in which the values of Love, Friendship and Fraternity can once again illuminate our hearts.
This is my heartfelt tribute to the French People and to my French friends for the loss of one of the most iconic places of worship in the Catholic Church but also of world architecture and art.
Let hope be rebuilt on the ashes of memory with the will to build a better and more tolerant world ... a new Cathedral of Notre Dame !
....................................................................................................................
Dans une Europe divisée par la discorde et enveloppée par les ombres de l'incertitude qui divisent, il est temps de rappeler ce qui nous unit en tant que société et de reconstruire une Europe humaniste dans laquelle les valeurs de l'amour, de l'amitié et de la fraternité peuvent à nouveau illuminer nos cœurs .
C’est mon hommage sincère au Peuple Français et à mes amis français pour la perte de l’un des lieux de culte les plus emblématiques de l’Église catholique, mais aussi de l’architecture et des arts du monde.
Que l’espoir soit reconstruit sur les cendres de la mémoire avec la volonté de construire un monde meilleur et plus tolérant ... une nouvelle cathédrale de Notre Dame!
.................................................................................................................
Numa Europa dividida pela discórdia e envolta nas sombras divisionarias da incerteza esta é a hora para lembrar o que nos une como sociedade e o tempo para reconstruir uma Europa humanista em que os valores do Amor, da Amizade e da Fraternidade possam de novo iluminar os nossos corações.
Este é o meu tributo sentido ao Povo Francês pela perda de um dos locais de culto mais icónicos da Igreja Católica mas também da arquitectura e arte mundiais. Que a Esperança seja reconstruída sobre as cinzas da memória com a vontade de construir um mundo melhor e mais tolerante.
