Detroit, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
Temple Street is a historically significant street located in the Cass Corridor / Midtown neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. Its importance is almost entirely derived from the monumental and namesake structure that resides there:
Detroit Masonic Temple
World's Largest: The Detroit Masonic Temple, located at 500 Temple Street, is globally recognized as the largest Masonic Temple in the world.
Architecture: Designed by George D. Mason in the Gothic Revival architectural style, the building was formally dedicated in 1926.
Multi-Function Venue: The colossal limestone building is not only a home for various Masonic organizations but also serves as a major public entertainment and event center.
Facilities: It includes several public spaces such as:
Three theaters, with the Masonic Temple Theatre (seating 4,650) being a popular venue for major concerts and shows.
Multiple ballrooms and banquet halls.
A large clear-span drill hall.
Neighborhood Context: Temple Street is now situated in an area that has seen significant redevelopment, close to The District Detroit which includes venues like the Little Caesars Arena.
There’s something bigger than success. Something bigger than failure. Something bigger than despair. Something bigger than happiness. Something bigger than us. It’s the world. The world that inspires us. The world that lets us exist in it. The world that is so full of unique magic.

Budapest, Terézváros.
The notable Hungarian photographer, Mai Mano's former home and studio, now The Hungarian House of Photography, exhibition hall, bookshop and café.

Note the cast iron windows of the Sunlight studio and the frescos around it, with the attributes of painting, photography and chemistry (aka muses of photography).

Mai Manó House, The Hungarian House of Photography operates in a studio-house built for the commission of Mai Manó (1855-1917), Imperial and Royal Court Photographer. His eight-story studio-house and home was built in fourteen months, in 1893-94.
This special, eight-story neo-renaissance monument is unique in world architecture: we have no knowledge of any other intact turn-of-the-century studiohouse. In addition, it serves its original goal, the case of photography again.
Mai Manó was a professional photographer and specialist, in his time he was one of the best specialists of child portraits. His status in the professional community of that time is uncontested. He was also the founder and editor of the periodical called A Fény (The Light, launched in 1906)
The building's richly decorated neo-renaissance façade clearly served ideological purposes: Mai Manó wanted to lend a past to the young trade, hardly considered to be a form of art by anyone at that time. Take the majolica putti between the ground floor and the mezzanine or the façade paintings on the third floor showing the "six muses of photography".
Actual photographing took place in the Sunlight-studio on the second floor, we restored in 1996-97. During the restoration, we found the original frescoes hiding bethind the white wallpaper for decades. These used to serve as background for Mai's portraits. His studio worked in the house for four decades, until 1931. It was followed by a luxury-bar, Arizona, which was closed in 1944.
After the Second World War, a number of institutions and companies moved into the house and a few private apartments were separated as well. In spite of all the vicissitudes, the house kept its original character. It was declared a piece of national heritage in 1996 considering its special architecture, ornaments and industry-historical significance.

Architecture details on the façade of the cathedral
---------
The Cathedral of Monreale, also called Santa Maria la Nuova, is a Sicilian masterpiece built during the Middle Ages. Is one of the best examples of coexistence between Islamic, Byzantine and Romanesque cultures. The church was founded by the Norman king William the II between 1174 and 1189, at the same time with the Abbey, the Royal Palace and the Archbishop’s Palace with which it constitutes a complex, expanded during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The external part of the Cathedral shows its Arab-Norman nature, with arches, windows and coloured marbles which are typical expressions of that kind of architecture. ..

This captivating photograph captures a picturesque scene in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as the lens peers out over a textured stone wall. The weathered and textured surface adds a touch of historic charm, setting the stage for the focal point of the image—the old guard tower overlooking the bay. Perched atop the city's fortifications, the ancient tower stands as a timeless sentinel, telling tales of centuries gone by.
Beyond the textured wall and the imposing guard tower, the expansive bay unfolds, providing a stunning backdrop to the scene. The tranquil waters of the bay stretch out, and against this maritime canvas, a sailboat gracefully glides, its silhouette adding a touch of serenity and movement to the panoramic view.
The juxtaposition of the weathered wall texture, the historical guard tower, and the modern sailboat creates a visual narrative that encapsulates the rich layers of history and maritime life in San Juan. The photograph invites viewers to appreciate the harmonious blend of old-world charm and contemporary vitality in this captivating coastal city.

Salamanca is something special and is undoubtedly Castilla’s liveliest, most beautiful city. Its secret is an irresistible combination of stunning uniform, old-world architectural elegance and a feel-good Spanish buzz that flows through the streets almost without respite. In few other places will you witness such virtuosity in Plateresque and Renaissance styles.

The world's tallest climbing wall at 85 meters. CopenHill or Amager Bakke is a combined heat and power plant and recreational facility in Copenhagen. The sports facility was designed by the architects Bjarke Ingels Group with an 85 m (279 ft) tall sloped roof that doubles as year-round artificial ski slope, hiking slope and climbing wall. CopenHill was named the "World Building of the Year 2021" at the annual World Architecture Festival.
The plant opened in 2017. It is expected to burn 400,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually. Because of filtration and other technologies, sulphur emission is expected to be reduced by 99.5% and NOx by about 95%. It is claimed to be the cleanest incineration plant in the world.
