The Chicago Board of Trade building anchors LaSalle Street in the financial district. It serves as headquarters for Bruce Wayne Enterprises in Batman:The Dark Knight.
The rather stunning Shawlands Cross Church on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by Miller and Black in a distinctive Late Perpendicular Gothic style, it was built in 1900.
Perched atop towering rock formations, the Meteora monasteries in Greece merge seamlessly with the dramatic landscape. The ancient structures with their orange-tiled roofs contrast starkly against the rugged cliffs under a brooding sky. Lush greenery at the base adds a touch of vitality to this awe-inspiring scene. Imagine this super sized on your wall space.
The former William Cook and Sons Ltd, Saw Manufacturers, building on Houldsworth Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. Built with polychromatic brick around 1870 (making it one of the oldest surviving buildings in the local area), it has some nice ghost signs along both its facades.
A decorative caryatid on a spandrel between the doors of William Whyte's French 1885 Renaissance style tenement on Queen's Drive in Glasgow. This is one of a number of similar sculptures on the building which are grouped into differet themes, including the arts.
An ornate tenement with a former bank branch on the ground floor on the corner of Pollokshaws Road and Moss-side Road at Shawlands Cross in Glasgow. The corner positioning of a distinctive building like this is a key part of Glasgow's architectural tradition.
The imposing Classical style entrance to the former Hillhead High School on Cecil Street in the West End of Glasgow. Designed by Hugh and David Barclay, it was built in 1883. It later became Hillhead Primary School and is now flats.
Saint Mungo gazing out across Pollokshaws Road from Saint Ninian's Church in Glasgow, with the fish with the ring in its mouth below him, and the remains of a tram rosette (used to support electrical wires for Glasgow's tram system) just to his left. I've often wondered what people made of these being attached to churches when they were first installed at the end of the 19th Century.
The Late Gothic style former YMCA building on the corner of Maxwell Road and Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. Designed by Robert Miller, it was built in the mid-1890s.
Been to a lot of cities. Seen a lot of buildings. But this is still one of my all-time favourites (Marina City in #Chicago by architect Bertrand Goldberg). #architecture
Les architectes sourds sont très rares dans le monde. En Suisse romande, il y a Delphine Quach, une architecte diplômée en 2011 de la prestigieuse EPFL. De son handicap, elle a tiré un avantage. Depuis 2015, elle a décidé de concentrer ses travaux vers l’architecture inclusive, une architecture qui veut principalement répondre aux besoins des personnes vulnérables ou vivant avec un handicap. Pour Delphine Quach, l’humain est au cœur de ses préoccupations.
@PeterLG@RealJournalism Absolutely. I think most buildings should be mixed-use and no higher than 7 stories, with residential spaces no higher than 4th floor, and should have windows and balconies that open to the street. Retail at ground/basement level, residences floors 2-4, offices and community spaces floors 5-7. My modification of Christopher Alexander's "Four Story Limit" (A Pattern Language, Pattern 21) #architecture#urbanism
