Rowes Wharf

Description
Known as “The Gateway to Boston,” Rowes Wharf sits on the Boston Harbor east of the downtown. It is a large complex made up of the 230-room four-star Boston Harbor Hotel, 100 luxury condominiums, and 345,000 sq. ft. of office space. There is also a marina, restaurants, a water transportation terminal, and a floating stage for concerts and movies. Rowes Wharf was designed by Adrian D. Smith, FAIA, of Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP, who used classic styles in a contemporary way. Built in 1987, the exterior was constructed with a steel deck and beam frame clad with a curtain wall of brick, granite and pre-cast concrete. The Boston Harbor Hotel has a distinct multistory arch that spans over a wide plaza. Two thirds of the building’s land is open space, and provides great views of Boston’s financial district as well as the Boston Harbor. Model built by Austin Metzger, Catherine Moats, Noel Nemcik, and Jordan Van Wyk.

Queen Elizabeth II Planetarium

Description
The first civic planetarium in Canada was built by the citizens of Edmonton and was officially opened on September 22nd, 1960. It was named to commemorate the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Edmonton one year earlier, and was designed by architect R.F. Duke. The role of the planetarium was largely superceeded by the Edmonton Space Science Centre which opened on a neighbouring site in Coronation Park in 1984. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/hgibbins/QEP/

Iglesia de San Cristobal

Description
La iglesia de San Cristóbal pertenece a la primera generación de las iglesias albaicineras, enmarcadas dentro del estilo gótico con técnica mudéjar. La zona del altar mayor fue levantada a mediados del siglo XVI cuya armadura ochavada revela ya el apogeo constructivo del mudéjar granadino. El campanario no es el original; éste fue destruido por un rayo en 1577. Era de gran elevación y lucía un agudo chapitel con gran impacto visual sobre la ciudad. Algunos de los mampuestos de los muros exteriores son macabrillas, lapidas funerarias recogidas de los cementerios islámicos del barrio. Además es sede canoniga de la cofradía de la Estrella la cual procesiona cada Jueves Santo.
