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.

Salamanca's Plaza Mayor was constructed between 1729 and 1755. Not only is it one of the city's most beautiful locales, but it is also considered among the most beautiful plazas in all of Spain. Its Baroque style architecture of the 18th century, includes Spanish decorations of cut tablets, equilateral arches and four levels. Much of the daily and night life of Salamanca takes place in the Plaza Mayor.
Without doubt, the Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful buildings ever built. The impeccable stone work, the shape of the structure, the way light radiates off it ivory coloured surfaces all make for one incredible building. Once observed by ones own eyes, it is easy to understand why this amazing building has been designated one of the seven wonders of the world. Photographs, including this one, don't even begin to accurately convey its true grandeur and magnificence.
Constructed in 1927, the FitzGerald Building at No 150 College St on The University Of Toronto campus was once called The School Of Hygiene and has been home to The Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Dentistry. It was a major producer of insulin until 1969. The building was designated a Heritage Property by The City of Toronto in 2003.

Frank Owen Gehry, CC is a Canadian-American Pritzker Prize-winning architect based in Los Angeles, California.
His buildings, including his private residence, have become tourist attractions and many customers seek Gehry's services as a badge of distinction. His works were by far the most often cited as being among the most important works of contemporary architecture in the 2010 World Architecture Survey, which led Vanity Fair to label him as "the most important architect of our age".
Gehry's best-known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles; Experience Music Project in Seattle; Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis; Dancing House in Prague; the Vitra Design Museum and MARTa Museum in Germany; and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. But it was his private residence in Santa Monica, California, which jump-started his career, lifting it from the status of "paper architecture" – a phenomenon that many famous architects have experienced in their formative decades through experimentation almost exclusively on paper before receiving their first major commission in later years.

The Kurilpa Bridge (originally known as the Tank Street Bridge) is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The bridge connects Kurilpa Point in South Brisbane to Tank Street in the Brisbane central business district. In 2011, the bridge was judged World Transport Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival.
Baulderstone Queensland Pty Ltd constructed the bridge and the company’s design team included Cox Rayner Architects and Arup Engineers. The bridge was opened on 4 October 2009 by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.
Kurilpa Bridge is the world’s largest hybrid tensegrity bridge. Only the horizontal spars conform to tensegrity principles.
A public competition was held to decide on a new name for the bridge. On 23 November 2008 it was announced that the winning entry was Kurilpa Bridge. The name reflects the Australian Aboriginal word for the South Brisbane and West End area, and means "place for water rats".

Santa Casa de Misericordia. Siglo XVIII. Instituto benéfico popular, destinado en su origen a proporcionar acogida, formación y trabajo a niños y a ancianos pobres. Es una institución muy querida por los bilbaínos.
Grúa Karola. Única superviviente del reciente pasado industrial de Bilbao. Karola fue una bella joven que para acudir al trabajo, en el gasolino, cruzaba diariamente la ría desde la otra orilla. Los trabajadores del astillero cercano aguardaban con entusiasmo su llegada haciendo sonar con estruendo las sirenas de la fábrica. En su homenaje bautizaron con su nombre a la grúa.
Estadio de San Mamés. Es una referencia del más alto nivel en el mundo del fútbol. Es conocido con el sobrenombre de La Catedral. Elegido mejor edificio deportivo del mundo por el World Architecture Festival 2015. En él juega desde siempre el Athletic Club de Bilbao, (1898), equipo cuya filosofía es única en el mundo. Solo pueden jugar en el equipo aquellos jugadores que se hayan hecho en la propia cantera y los formados en los clubes del País Vasco y, por supuesto los jugadores y jugadoras que hayan nacido en cualquier lugar del mismo País Vasco.
Holy House of Mercy. 18th century. The popular charity institute, which is intended to provide reception, training and work for children and poor elderly people. It's an institution very dear to the Bilbains.
Karola Crane. Only survivor of the recent industrial past of Bilbao. Karola was a beautiful young woman who to come to work crossed the river daily from the other shore. The workers at the nearby shipyard were eager to await their arrival by sounding the sirens of the factory with a noise. In their homage they named the crane.
St. Mamés Stadium. It's a reference of the highest level in the world of football. It is known by the nickname of The Cathedral. Choosed the world's best sports building by the World Architecture Festival 2015. In it he has always played the Athletic Club of Bilbao (1898), a team whose philosophy is unique in the world. Only those players who have been made in the quarry itself and those formed in the Basque Country clubs can play on the team and, of course, players who have been born anywhere in the Basque Country itself

Burj Khalifa, Dubai.... this is the tallest building in the world.
Handheld shot taken from a car window at 10000 ISO and 1/20 sec... sometimes I don't quite have the time to get out and put the camera on a tripod, but I think my trusted Canon did a pretty good job here given the circumstances
This is the Trade Centre in Rotterdam.
Groothandelsgebouw Rotterdam
It was one of the first post-WW2 buildings, completed in 1953, after the heavily and devastating bombings of 1940.
It was one of the first buildings, if not the first.., in which various companies could be located.
The Groothandelsgebouw today is still buzzing with activity.
When she was young, my mother worked in this modern building, which she was very proud of.
The Groothandelsgebouw has 5 entrances.
In one of the big entrances I'd see these elevator doors with the time above it.

The cooling towers of the now defunct Rugeley B coal fired power station. They are slated for demolition and it will be the end of the town's greatest landmark. I will be sorry to see them go.
We're Here: World Architecture
The chimney and building have now been demolished. The cooling towers will go soon.
