Seattle, Washington

Seattle Terminal Radar Approach Control

Description
This building houses air traffic control and electronic equipment spaces, offices for management and facilities maintenance personnel, and various mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications areas. The design and construction of this building incorporated significant changes to current building standards in order to provide for a lessened impact on the environment, both during construction and over the life of the building. The building incorporates energy-efficient design strategies while maintaining all the operational and security features of a standard TRACON facility. This is the Department of Transportation's first LEED certified building.

Seattle Justice Center

Description
The Seattle Justice Center is 14-story building within the three-block Civic Center area of downtown Seattle. The Justice Center houses Seattle's municipal courts and police headquarters in a dense urban setting. The design challenge was to create distinct and unique identities for the courts and the police headquarters within one building. The combination of programs yielded a structure with two different parts: a primarily glass Courts portion that occupies the southern part of the block and a primarily stone Police portion on the northern part. The bipartite nature of the building is also reflected in the organization of the Civic Center Master Plan; both building and urban design are inextricably linked.

Los Angeles, California

Challengers Tennis Club

Description
The Challengers Tennis Club for Boys and Girls, located in an urban low-rise residential setting, is the latest addition to the Challengers Sports Center in South Central Los Angeles. The facility brings neighborhood students together to socialize, to train, and to develop into champions. The new facility incorporates a multitude of green design strategies. The community enjoys a green building that provides as much, if not more, functionality and comfort as a traditional design, while appreciating the preservation of resources for future generations. A number of strategies work together to keep energy use low. The building has no mechanical cooling, but is kept comfortable through natural ventilation, unhindered air circulation, ceiling fans, internal thermal mass, superior insulation and glazing, and appropriate shading. Ample daylighting minimizes the use of artificial lighting, and all lighting fixtures use fluorescent lamps with either photocell or motion-sensor controls. Kitchen appliances and office equipment are Energy Star rated. The energy-efficiency measures result in the use of almost 60% less energy than a comparable building designed according to the California Title 24 requirements. The PV array provides 100% of the facility's annual electricity consumption. About 75% of the building materials, by weight, were manufactured locally.

In den Jahren 2003 bis 2006 wurde das Kloster, ein wichtiges Denkmale der Bau- und Landesgeschichte Mecklenburg - Vorpommerns, umfangreich und detailgetreu saniert. Den mit der Sanierung betrauten Architekten, Bauleuten, Denkmalpflegern ist es in hervorragender Weise gelungen, alte Bausubstanz und moderne Erfordernisse zu einer überzeugenden Synthese zu bringen. Architektonisch besonders interessant sind die kunstvoll gestalteten gotischen Kreuzrippengewölbe des Erdgeschosses. Im Kreuzgang wird eine Dauerausstellung eingerichtet, die einen unmittelbaren Bezug zum Kloster und seiner Geschichte hat. Regelmäßige Führungen in Kloster und Kirche sollen den Besucher mit den Details der historischen Entwicklung vertraut machen. Das Kloster mit den Räumlichkeiten Refektorium (mit Foyer) und Barocksaal soll der Mittelpunkt in der Schaalseeregion für kulturelle, gesellschaftliche und didaktisch geprägte Veranstaltungen werden.

Richmond, Virgina

Patrick Henry Building (Old Virginia State Library and Supreme Court of Appeals) Richmond Virginia

Description
Modern Movement: Art Deco, NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES, Built 1938-1941. Architects: Baskervill & Son; Carneal, Johnson & Wright; Alfred Morton Githens & Francis Keally. "The Old State Library building is a massive government structure rendered in “Stripped Classicism,” a style popular for public works in the 1930s and ‘40s, both in America and Europe. The style is characterized by the monumentality and proportions of Classical architecture but is devoid of its ornamentation. The building occupies an entire city block between East Broad and Capitol streets. It, along with Richmond’s Old City Hall and the General Assembly Building compose the architectural backdrop for Capitol Square and Jefferson’s State Capitol. Faced with plain ashlar of Indiana limestone, the exterior reads as a two-story structure having its upper level surrounded by a “colonnade” of square piers framing the window openings."

Kao dijete, Meštrović je slušao epsku poeziju, narodne pjesme i povijesne balade, dok je čuvao ovce. Rođen je u seoskoj katoličkoj obitelji, a njegova religioznost oblikovala se pod utjecajem pučke religioznosti, Biblije i kasnog Tolstoja. Sa šesnaest godina, Harold Bilinić, kamenorezac iz Splita, prepoznao je njegov dar i uzeo ga je za šegrta. Njegov umjetnički talent razvio se gledanjem znamenitih građevina Splita, uz pomoć pri školovanju Bilinićeve supruge, koja je bila profesor u srednjoj školi. Uskoro, pronašli su jednog bečkog vlasnika rudnika, koji je financirao Ivanovo preseljenje i školovanje u Beču. Morao je u najkraćem roku naučiti njemački i prilagoditi se novoj sredini, ali je uprokos brojnim problemima završio studij.

Budapest, Hungary

Hilton Budapest

Description
The 5-star Hilton Budapest is situated in the heart of the historic Castle District that is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is accordingly strictly protected. In keeping with such traditions, the Hilton Budapest has certainly preserved the spirit of the Castle District. A perfect example would be the restored remains of a 13th century Dominican churchyard and cloisters that are now incorporated into the contemporary building. Hilton Budapest welcomes its guests with famous hospitality of Hungary.

Liberty Statue / Szabadság Szobor

Description
The Szabadság Szobor or Liberty Statue (sometimes Freedom Statue) in Budapest, Hungary, was first erected in 1947 in remembrance of the Soviet liberation of Hungary from Nazi forces during World War II. Its location upon Gellért Hill makes it a prominent feature of Budapest's cityscape. Over the following years, public sentiment toward the Soviets decreased to the point of revolution, which was attempted in 1956 and subsequently damaged some portions of the monument. After the 1989 transition from Communist rule to a more Democratic government, the inscription was modified to read "To the memory of all of those who sacrificed their lives for the independence, freedom, and success of Hungary."

The Fishermen’s Bastion with the Matthias Church (Halászbástya és a Mátyás-templom) Budapest


Description
The Fishermen’s Bastion: Completed in 1905 on the site of a former fish market - this is where the name comes from.It has never served defence purposes: It is an excellent look-out place. Matthias Church: Officially called the Church of Our Lady, the church is named after the main donor King Matthias, who got married here twice. This symbol of the city was built in the 13th - 15th century in Gothic style. Restored in the second half of the 19th century and rebuilt in neo-Gothic style on basis of the designs by Frigyes Schulek. The cityscape opening up from here, including the Fishermen's Bastion, has been part of UNESCO's World Heritage since 1988.

Wow, we have another city added to Citites in Development. Those folks at Google have been busy! Let’s all welcome…

I do have one other thing to report. SketchUp models in the warehouse are now also available in the Collada format. I am not sure what this means, but I have a feeling it has to do with the reported Google Virtual World news that is starting to surface on the various tech blogs around the net. If anyone has any insight to the significance or opinions of this development, leave a comment in the comments section.

Central Bank, Dame Street, Dublin, Ireland

Description
The Central Bank is a highly assertive building with a bold outline and dramatic styling. It is visible from throughout the city centre but particularly in Temple Bar where narrow streets and gaps between buildings can reveal its strong geometric presence. Originally after construction the roof was highly distinctive with its support members outside of the roof surface. After problems with rain water, this was redesigned and remodelled with copper cladding covering up the roof structure. It is an unusual building for its time in regard to structure. The floors are all suspended from the twin service cores at 12 support points by the steel trusses visible on the facades. During construction each floor was built at ground level and then hoisted into place with all its service equipment and fittings in place. Internally the offices are lit by floor to ceiling glazing which helps give the buildings its bold striped appearance. Originally the old Commercial Buildings next door were at 90 degrees to their current position but the building was demolished during construction and a new facsimile built on the site to contain ancillary facilities. 1996-2007 Archiseek.com Virtual Dublin Models Image Synthesis Group, Trinity College Dublin


The Four Courts, Dublin, Ireland

Description
The Four Courts Dublin One of the landmarks of Dublin with its large drum and shallow dome, and visible all along the Liffey, the Four Courts derives its names from the four divisions that traditionally were the judicial system in Ireland. These were: Chancery, King's Bench, Exchequer, and Common Pleas. The building's main feature is the dome and main portico. The interior of the Four Courts was reconstructed after the Civil War and the interior rearranged. The central rotunda above is as Gandon designed it with the four main courtrooms opening off it diagonally. This dramatic public space soars up into the drum creating a sombre and awe inspiring venue for the administration of the law. The Four Courts was completed with excellent sculpture by Edward Smyth. On the main pediment, Moses is flanked by Justice and Mercy with Wisdom and Authority also present. Trophies of arms are placed over the triumphal arches in the arcades but they had been emasculated with the crowns replaced by balls. Destroyed during the Irish Civil War of 1921-22, the building has since been restored externally although it was remodelled and rearranged internally. 1996-2007 Archiseek.com Virtual Dublin Models Image Synthesis Group, Trinity College Dublin Compiled by InshoreSurveys Ltd

Hapenny Bridge, Dublin, Ireland

Description
Ha'penny Bridge Dublin The Ha'penny Bridge (Irish: Droichead na Leathphingine) (known later for a time as the Penny Ha'penny Bridge) is a pedestrian bridge built in 1816 over the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland. Originally called the Wellington Bridge (after the Duke of Wellington), the name of the bridge changed to Liffey Bridge, and somewhat surprisingly, the name remains as so to this day. However, due to its distinct shape as well as the original toll of one halfpenny, (later, one penny, two farthings) the more popular title of Ha'penny Bridge stuck in the minds of the natives. The toll itself was dropped in 1919; before this, turnstiles lay on either side of it.

TCD, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Description
The University of Dublin, Trinity College, founded in 1592, is the oldest university in Ireland. Trinity College is the sole constituent college of the University. At present there are over 12,000 students and 1,200 staff members working on the College campus. The history of Trinity College can be conveniently divided into four epochs—a century or so during which the foundations were laid, a period of colourful expansion extending over the eighteenth century, and a century and a half of strenuous adaptation to a rapidly changing world Standing on a self-contained site in the heart of Dublin, the College covers some 40 acres of cobbled squares and green spaces, around buildings which represent the accumulated architectural riches of nearly three centuries. Its thirteen and a half thousand staff and students form a compact academic community and are at the same time an intimate part of the city's life. Dublin offers a particularly congenial atmosphere for students and, while small by international standards, it has in all respects the resources of a capital city with a full and varied cultural and intellectual life. Trinity College is one of Irelands leading historical sites, attracting in excess of half a million visitors every year. Heritage attractions available to visitors include The Book of Kells and Walking Tours of the Campus. tcd.ie & Virtual Dublin Models Image Synthesis Group, Trinity College Dublin

Trinity College Dublin, Museum

Description
The Museum Building, which houses the Geology Department, was designed by Thomas Deane and Benjamin Woodward. It is inspired by the Byzantine architecture of Venice and was built in 1853-57. The many interior and exterior carvings were executed by the Cork-born brothers John and James O'Shea, who gathered fresh flowers to use as their models. The exterior walls feature Wicklow granite and Portland Stone. The interior walls are faced with Caen Limestone. The pillars, balustrades and bannisters contain examples of Irish marbles and Cornish serpentine, while the domed roof is made of blue, red and yellow enamelled bricks.
