Google Earth 4.3 released

2008-04-16T16:26:00.000-07:00

Ok, I am sure by now you have heard that Google Earth 4.3 has released. However, have you seen all the new 3D buildings that have been added? I don"t know how many actual buildings hve been added, but I would not be surprised if it is a couple thousand. Yes, I said THOUSAND! For example, now San Francisco has all the building downtown represented in really nice photo textured models. Oakland, the same thing. Yesterday, Oakland, California had about 8 phototextured buildings. Today, there are maybe 100 or more.

Some of the other cities I have found that have lots of photo textured buildings added are: Austin, Texas, Phonix, Arizon and Baltimore Maryland. Seriously, you should check out Baltimore as there are lots and lots of very well done buildings.

As for the other cities that did not recieve the photo textured treatment, they got many "gray buildings" added. San Jose, California got some as did Long Beach, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Toyoko, New York and many others that I have not even checked out yet.

Leave your suggestions in the comments about cities that have gotten massive updates or just ones that you think are cool.

City-Theatre Fürth

The City Theatre Fuerth was build in 1901 and 1902 by the plans of the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer in modern baroque architecture. Financed it was to a large part by donations from the citizens of Fürth. Upon the gable is a statue of a female torch bearer, a lion and a male figure lying at her feet. Recently, on the occasion of its 100-year anniversary the theater was restored extensively.

Dolmabahçe Sarayı - Dolmabahçe (Filledgarden) Palace

Dolmabahçe Palace was the first European-style palace in Istanbul and was built by Sultan Abdülmecid between 1842 and 1853, at a cost of five million Ottoman gold pounds, the equivalent of 35 tons of gold.The world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, is at the center hall.The chandelier has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons.Dolmabahçe has the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world, and one of the great staircases has bannisters of Baccarat crystal.The site of Dolmabahçe was originally a bay in the Bosphorus which was filled gradually during the 18th century to become an imperial garden, much appreciated by the Ottoman sultans; and it is from this garden that the name Dolmabahçe (Filledgarden) comes from.The palace that stands here today was built between 1842 and 1853 during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid, on the site of the old coastal palace of Beşiktaş, by the Armenian architects Garabet Amira Balyan and his son Nigoğayos Balyan.The palace is composed of three parts; the Mabeyn-i Hümâyûn (or Selamlık, the quarters reserved for the men), Muayede Salonu (the ceremonial halls) and the Harem-i Hümâyûn (the Harem, the apartments of the family of the Sultan).The palace is managed by Milli Saraylar Daire Başkanlığı (Directorate of National Palaces) responsible to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.The museum is open to public on weekdays from 9:00 to 15:00, except Mondays and Thursdays.

Çırağan Sarayı - Çırağan Palace

Çırağan Palace (Turkish: Çırağan Sarayı), a former Ottoman palace, is now a five-star hotel of the Kempinski Hotels chain. It is located on the European shore of the Bosporus between Beşiktaş and Ortaköy in Istanbul, Turkey. The palace, built by Sultan Abdülâziz, was designed by the famous Armenian palace architect Nigoğayos Balyan and constructed by his sons Sarkis and Hagop Balyan between 1863 and 1867. This was a period in which all Ottoman sultans used to build their own palaces rather than using those of their ancestors. Çırağan Palace is the last example of this period. The inner walls and the roof were made of wood, the outer walls of colorful marble. The palace was connected with a beautiful marble bridge to the Yıldız Palace on the hill behind. A very high garden wall protected the palace from the outer world.

Beylerbeyi Sarayı - Beylerbeyi Palace

The Beylerbeyi Palace (Turkish: Beylerbeyi Sarayı) is a palace located in Beylerbeyi neighbourhood of Istanbul, Turkey at the Asian side of the Bosphorus, situated just north of the Bosphorus Bridge today. Designed in the baroque style by Sarkis Balyan, Beylerbeyi Palace seems fairly restrained compared to the excesses of the earlier Dolmabahçe or Küçüksu palaces. It was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz (1830-1876) and built between 1861 and 1865 as a summer residence and a place to entertain visiting heads of state. Empress Eugénie of France visited Beylerbeyi on her way to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and had her face slapped by the sultan's mother for daring to enter the palace on the arm of Abdül Aziz. Other regal visitors to the palace included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The palace was the last place of captivity of the deposed sultan Abdulhamid II from 1912 until his death there in 1918. The palace looks its most attractive from the Bosphorus, from where its two bathing pavilions, one for the harem (women's only) and the other for the selamlık (men's only), can best be seen.

San Nicola in Carcere - Titular Church, Rome

San Nicola in Carcere (Italian, "St Nicholas in prison") is a titular church in Rome near the Forum Boarium in rione Ripa. The first church on the site was probably built in the 6th century, and a 10th century inscription may be seen on a fluted column next to the entrance, but the first definite dedication is from a plaque on the church dating to 1128. It was constructed in and from the ruins of the Forum Holitorium and its temples, along with a jail (carcer). Spolia from all these ancient remains is still apparent in the church's construction, most particularly three columns from the Temple of Juno Sospita which are incorporated into both the 10th century and 1599 north facades of the church. The dedication to St Nicholas was made by the Greek population in the area. In the 11th century, it was known as the church of Petrus Leonis, referring to the converted Jewish family who rebuilt the nearby Theatre of Marcellus as a fortress. The church was rebuilt in 1599, with a new facade by Giacomo della Porta (though the medieval campanile - originally a fortified tower, then adapted to a bell tower after being abandoned - was not altered).

Theatre of Marcellus

The Theatre of Marcellus (Latin: Theatrum Marcelli; Italian: Teatro di Marcello) is an ancient edifice in the rione of Sant'Angelo, Rome, providing one of the city's many popular spectacles or tourist sites. It was named after Marcus Marcellus, Emperor Augustus's nephew, who died five years before its completion. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before it could be begun; the theatre was so far advanced by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the ludi saeculares took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus.

Temple of Apollo Sosianus

The Temple of Apollo Sosianus (previously known as the Apollinar and the temple of Apollo Medicus) is a Roman temple dedicated to Apollo in the Campus Martius, next to the Theatre of Marcellus and the Porticus Octaviae, in Rome, Italy. Its present name derives from that of its final rebuilder, Gaius Sosius. The three columns of the temple which survive to full-height today belong to the Augustan rebuild, but the cult of Apollo had existed in this area since at least to the mid 5th century BC when an Apollinar (a sacred grove or altar) was recorded on this site. The first temple building dates to 431 BC, when the consul Gnaeus Iulius Mento inaugurated one dedicated to Apollo Medicus (the doctor), in fulfilment of a vow to him during a plague of 2 years earlier. A radical reconstruction was begun by Gaius Sosius, probably just after his triumph in 34 BC. Upon the construction of the theatre of Marcellus soon afterwards the temple's frontal staircase was demolished and replaced with two staircases on the sides of the "pronaos".

Woningen in Transvaal, Den Haag

The two dwelling towers of six and eight levels form a ‘gate’ from the shopping street to the urban park. They contain thirty-five apartments in the upper part and 900 m2 shopping area on the ground level. On the other side of the park a half open building block has been restored by attaching a new estate of twelve four-level city apartments and a slightly higher block of nine apartments and shops beneath.

Wijkteam- en districtskantoor Linnaeusstraat, Politie Amsterdam

Two police stations, a parking lot, an employee’s restaurant and a cellblock are positioned in an even brick cover that reflects the surrounding scale of the city. The brick building is positioned next to a train viaduct at a busy access road of Amsterdam. Its scale, position and the treatment of the façade keep balance between a builder’s block and an object. Even though the brick facade structure is very abstract, the parking lot, corner windows and the changing fulfilment of the wooden window sills accomplish the result of a lively and expressive appearance. The extra windows positioned in the façade openings of the offices make it possible to open the windows despite high noise exposure. This also reduces the amount of maintenance of the transparent varnished window sills. Thanks to these differentiating additions and the absence of the window sills on the street corner at the entrance, the brick cover shows traces of the inside; for instance the access ramps of the garage wrapping themselves halfway up the building. The façade is of ambiguous character; it seems to be hiding the program, yet it actually shows its very physical projection. It is a filter, yet also a screen, build up with ingredients of the urban surroundings. Build: 2003 Architect: Piet R. J. Grouls

Palacio Arzobispal

Contiguo a la Capilla del Sagrario, se alza una edificación de torrecilla y tres pisos, conocida como el Cardenalicio, antes era el Palacio Arzobispal. Fue diseñada por el arquitecto Rodríguez Orgaz e inaugurada en 1953. Durante la Colonia y hasta principios del siglo XX fue una casa de clásicos soportales. Sirvió como residencia, sede de la Aduana Real, prisión y despacho en la época de la reconquista, del “Pacificador” Pablo Morillo y el Virrey Juan Sámano, allí se firmaron las sentencias de muerte contra numerosos patriotas. Frente a sus ventanas sobre la plaza, se fusiló a la mayoría de ellos, entre los más notables Policarpa Salavarrieta y su novio Alejo Sabaraín, Manuel Rodríguez Torres, Antonio Baraya y el conde Felipe de Valencia

Palacio Líevano

Pero el incendio que originó Streicher había reducido las Galerías —inauguradas en 1847— a un montón de ruinas. Esto condujo a que se hicieran las nuevas obras, en las que tuvo mucho que ver Indalecio Liévano, quien convenció a los propietarios de los locales de la importancia de reconstruir el inmueble, que después tomó su nombre. La obra se le encargó a Gastón Lelarge, quien realizó el edificio con un estilo francés que, según escribió Darío Ruiz Gómez, “alcanza una digna sobriedad.” En 1905 el Palacio Municipal quedó terminado, y los otros tramos se fueron edificando escalonadamente. La lucha para que el Distrito se quedara definitivamente con toda la construcción duró casi setenta años.

Skolfield Whittier House

The Pejepscot Museum and The Skolfield-Whittier House Museum is located at 159 Park Row, along Brunswick's town green. The red brick buildings, of Italianate design, were built by the Skolfield brothers in 1858 and 1862. The Pejepscot Museum had a number of owners before becoming home to the Pejepscot Historical Society. The Skolfield-Whittier House was named after Alfred Skolfield, a successful sea captain, and Dr. Frank Whittier, one of America's first forensic pathologists. It remained the home of three generations of Skolfields and Whittiers and was eventually donated to the Society by Dr. Alice Skolfield-Whittier, Brunswick's first female pediatrician, in 1983. The home's Victorian interior and furnishings remain intact as of the day the family left.

The Centennial Hall (Wroclaw, Poland)

The Centennial Hall is a historic building constructed in Wrocław (Breslau) in 1913 when the city was part of the German Empire. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. It was in the Lower Silesian capital of Breslau on 10 March 1813 where King Frederick William III of Prussia had first awarded the Iron Cross and called upon the German people in his "Aufruf an mein Volk" to openly resist Napoleon. In October, in the Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon was defeated, but large numbers of Germans fell on both sides, as many had been forced to fight on the French side. The hall was built in the German Empire in 1911–1913 according to the plans of Max Berg, during preparations for an exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Nations, as it is also called, reminding that most of Europe was involved. The cupola was made of reinforced concrete and with an inner diameter of 69 m and 42 m high; it was the largest building of its kind at the time of construction. The symmetrical quatrefoil shape with a large circular central space seats 6,000 persons. The dome is 23m high, made of in steel and glass. The Jahrhunderthalle , a name also chosen for halls in Bochum (1902) and Frankfurt (1963) for different anniversaries, had been intended to commemorate a 19th century event, but instead became a key reference for the development of reinforced concrete structures in the a 20th century.

Tritones Fountain, Forum Boarium, Rome

La Fontana dei Tritoni, opera del 1715 del perugino Carlo Bizzaccheri, fu commissionata da papa Clemente XI durante i lavori di sistemazione per livellare Piazza della Bocca della Verità, che si trovava due metri sopra il piano attuale della chiesa di S. Maria in Cosmedin. Ispirandosi alla stemma del pontefice, disegnò un catino ottagonale con gli otto lati concavi, per formare una stella a otto punte: la stella del papa Albani, nel mezzo, al di sopra di un gruppo di massi, ornati di erbe acquatiche, ed anch'essi di travertino come tutto il complesso della fontana, si innalzano due possenti tritoni, inginocchiati e con le code intrecciate. I due tritoni, che si volgono la schiena, con le braccia sollevate sostengono sulle spalle una tazza a forma di conchiglia di mare aperta, dalla quale fuoriesce l'acqua e sul cui bordo esterno è scolpito lo stemma dello stesso pontefice, tre monticelli sovrastati da una stella.

Arch of Janus

The Arch of Janus is the only quadrifrons triumphal arch preserved in Rome, across a crossroads in the Velabrum-Forum Boarium. It was built in the early 4th century of spolia, possibly in honour of Constantine I or Constantius II. Its current name is probably from the Renaissance or later and is not ancient. The name is derived from its four-fronted, four-arched structure. In the Middle Ages, the Frangipane family transformed the building into a fortress and so it survived intact up until 1830. Then the attic and top were torn down because they were erroneously believed not to belong to the original structure. Fragments of the dedicatory inscription are still preserved inside the nearby church of San Giorgio al Velabro.

Temple of Hercules Victor, Forum Boarium, Rome

The Temple of Hercules Victor or Hercules Olivarius is an ancient edifice located in the Forum Boarium in Rome. It is is a monopteros, a round temple of Greek 'peripteral' design (surrounded by colonnades on all sides). This layout caused many to mistake it for a temple of Vesta, but it has been determined to be a temple of Hercules. Hercules was a favorite divinity for traders, so it is appropriate that it would be in a forum. Dating from about 120 BC, the temple is 14.8m in diameter and consists of a circular cella within a concentric ring of 20 x 10.66 m tall Corinthian columns resting on a tuff foundation. These elements supported an architrave and roof which have disappeared. The original wall of the cella and the columns remain but the current tile roof was added later. Palladio suggested a dome, though this was apparently erroneous. The temple is the earliest surviving marble building in Rome.

Capitoline Hill, Capitoline Museums - Senatorial Palace, Rome

The Capitoline Hill, between the Forum and the Campus Martius, is one of the most famous and highest of the seven hills of Rome. The Capitoline contains relatively few ancient ground-level ruins, as they are almost entirely covered up by Medieval palaces (now the Capitoline Museums) that surround a piazza. A significant portion of the architecture in this area was designed by Michelangelo. The hill was the site of a temple for the Capitoline Triad, started by Rome's fifth king, Tarquin the Elder. The city legend starts with the recovery of a human skull (the word for head in Latin is caput) when foundation trenches were being dug for the Temple of Jupiter by Tarquin's order. The church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli is adjacent to the square, located near where the ancient arx, or citadel, a top the hill it once stood. The existing design of the Piazza del Campidoglio and the surrounding palazzos was created by famed Renaissance artist and architect Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536 - 1546. In the middle stood the only equestrian bronze to have survived since Antiquity, that of Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher emperor. A balustrade punctuated by sculptures atop the giant pilasters capped the composition, one of the most influential of Michelangelo's designs. The two massive ancient statues of Castor and Pollux which decorate the balustrades are not the same posed by Michelangelo, which now are in front of the Palazzo del Quirinale.

Hendrick Hamel (Gorinchem 1630 - 1692) was a Dutch bookkeeper with the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and writer of the ‘Journal’: an account of the unbelievable adventures of the surviving crewmembers of the VOC-ship ‘The Sperwer’, which shipwrecked on a small island off the southern coast of Korea in 1653. Without this ‘Journal’, which has been translated in many languages, Korea would have remained a truly foreign country for centuries longer.

Se dice que “... La solemne pesadez de los cuatro pisos del edificio quizás se deba a que asemeja la base de un rascacielos neoyorquino, al que no se le hubiera construido los pisos superiores...”. La edificación se levantó en el sitio que ocupaba una antiquísima casa bajo las órdenes del arquitecto norteamericano Roberto Farrington. Su sobriedad contrasta con el barroquismo de la fachada de su vecino Palacio San Francisco, actual sede del Banco Cafetero.

TORINO, Italy

PONTE DEL DIAVOLO LANZO TORINESE TORINO

L'antico Ponte del Roch sulla Stura unisce i fianchi del Monte Buriasco e del Mombasso ed è assunto a simbolo di Lanzo; anticamente vi passava la mulattiera che portava a Torino. Il ponte, il cui ardito profilo ad arco gotico si eleva di quindici metri sul livello del fiume, fu costruito su decisione della Credenza di Lanzo del gennaio 1377; per poterne sostenere le spese fu imposta una tassa sul vino che si protrasse per dieci anni. A metà dello stretto camminamento si erge un' arcata: qui in epoca medioevale si trovava una porta custodita da una sentinella, che veniva chiusa in tempi di guerra e di pestilenza.

Brandenburg an der Havel

Steintorturm

Der 28,5 m hohe Steintorturm in der Neustadt, in der Nähe der Stadtschleuse gilt mit seinem kegelförmigen Helm sowie dem aufgesetzten Zinnenkranz als der größte und mächtigste der Brandenburger Tortürme. Er war Teil der mittelalterlichen Wehranlage der Stadt. Der Durchmesser beträgt 11m und die untere Mauerstärke 3,5 m, was den Wehrcharakter des Turmes verdeutlicht. Die Treppen innerhalb des viergeschossigen Turmes sind in die Mauern eingelassen. Erbaut wurde der Turm voraussichtlich Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts. Die erste Erwähnung ist auf 1433 datiert. 1886 erhielt der Historische Verein bis 1923 das Recht den Steintorturm für seine Sammlungen zu nutzen. Heute dienen die Räumlichkeiten des Turmes als zusätzliche Ausstellungsstätte des Museums "Im Freyhaus". Quelle: http://www.stadt-brandenburg.de/stadt-brandenburg/index.php?id=85

Rathenower Torturm

Der Rathenower Torturm, Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts als Schutz im Norden der Altstadt erbaut, wurde ca. 200 Jahre später wesentlich verändert. Mit seinem Grundriss, ein unregelmäßiges Viereck, steht das 28 m hohe Bauwerk mit einem spitzen Kegeldach ebenso wie der Plauer Torturm seitlich etwas in der Fahrbahn. Der Turmdurchgang wurde erst während Restaurierungsarbeiten 1910/11 geschaffen. Er war ursprünglich nicht vorhanden. Das Betreten des unteren Geschosses des Turmes war nur vom Wehrgang aus über den Boden des ersten Obergeschosses möglich. Noch heute reicht die Stadtmauer am Walther-Rathenau-Platz bis an den Rathenower Torturm heran. (Quelle:http://www.stadt-brandenburg.de/stadt-brandenburg/index.php?id=85)

Altes Stahlwerk – Industriemuseum

In Arbeit!! Texturen und Dachwerden noch optimiert. Brandenburg an der Havel kann auf eine lange Tradition als Stahlstandort zurückblicken, die mit dem ersten Abstich im Mai 1914 begann. Bis Dezember 1993 wurde hier in 12 Siemens-Martin-Öfen Stahl geschmolzen. Mit einer durchschnittlichen Jahresleistung von ca. 2,3 Millionen Tonnen war das Stahl- und Walzwerk Brandenburg (SWB) in den 1980er Jahren der größte Rohstahlproduzent der DDR mit über 10.000 Beschäftigten. In der ehemaligen Stahlwerkshalle befindet sich das einmalige Technische Denkmal - der letzte Siemens-Martin-Ofen Westeuropas. Die riesige Halle fasst außerdem das Museumsgebäude und einen Veranstaltungsort für bis zu 450 Zuschauer. (Quelle:http://www.industriemuseum-brandenburg.de/050_hofr.htm)

Pavellon Mies Van Der Rohe

The Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. It was an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and extravagant materials, such as marble and travertine. The building stood on a large podium alongside a pool. The structure itself consisted of eight steel posts supporting a flat roof, with curtain glass walling and a handful of partition walls. The overall impression is of perpendicular planes in three dimensions forming a cool, luxurious space. Mies designed the Barcelona chair for the house. The Pavilion was dismantled at the end of the exhibition, but a copy has since been built on the same site.

Der Dom zu Brandenburg, den Aposteln Petrus und Paulus geweiht, ist das älteste erhaltene Bauwerk und Ausgangspunkt der Geschichte der Stadt Brandenburg an der Havel. Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte 1165 durch den Mönchsorden der Prämonstratenser. Es entstand zu Beginn eine einfache kreuzförmige Saalkirche im romanischen Stil, welche in den folgenden Jahrzehnten mit dem Ausbau des Längshauses, der Krypta und dem ersten Teil der Doppelturmfassade zu einer romanischen Basilika erweitert wurde. Aus dieser ersten Bauperiode sind nur wenige Bauelemente, wie die Grundmauern des Chores und Fragmente des nördlichen Querschiffes, erhalten.... (Quelle: www.stadt-brandenburg.de)

Kapellbrücke("Chapel Bridge"), Luzern (+3d-PDF by 3dHH)

(75 kB at 3cm/px photoresolution) The Kapellbrücke ("Chapel Bridge" in German) is a 204 m (670 ft) long bridge crossing the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne in Switzerland. It is the oldest wooden bridge in Europe, and one of Switzerland's main tourist attractions. The covered bridge, constructed in 1333, was designed to help protect the city of Lucerne from attacks. Inside the bridge are a series of paintings from the 17th century depicting events from Luzern's history. Much of the bridge, and the majority of these paintings, were destroyed in a 1993 fire, though it was quickly rebuilt. Adjoining the bridge is the 140 feet tall Wasserturm (Water Tower), an octagonal tower made from brick, which has served as a prison, torture chamber, watchtower and treasury. Today the tower, which is part of the city wall, is used as the guild hall of the artillery association. The tower and the bridge are Lucerne's trademark and form the most photographed monument in the country. The modell is simplified, but otpimized for GoogleEarth. There is also an interactive 3d-PDF with the model, where yuo can rotate and zoom the model inside the PDF without having GoogleEarth or SketchUp installed (see link below).

Il Borgo e la Rocca Medioevale di Torino costituiscono l'insieme di un museo - sia pure sui generis - sulla particolare architettura di un determinato periodo storico, appunto quello del medioevo.Il borgo è, di fatto, più simile ad un sito archeologico-monumentale e nacque all'interno del Parco del Valentino come padiglione dell'Esposizione internazionale che si svolse a Torino dall'aprile al novembre del 1884.Destinato alla demolizione al termine dell'Esposizione Internazionale, divenne museo civico nel 1942.Si tratta di una riproduzione abbastanza fedele di un tipico borgo tardo medievale in cui sono ricostruite vie, case, chiese, piazze, fontane e decorazioni dell'epoca circondato da mura e fortificazioni e sovrastato da una rocca. Vi si accede attraverso una torre-porta.Del borgo sono inoltre presenti sin dal 1884 botteghe artigianali.

(vgl. Architektur in Bremen und Bremerhaven, Bremen 1988, Nr. 37). Möglich gemacht hat dieses Projekt ein 2-Millionen-DM-Zuschuss des amerikanischen Mac-Cloy-Fonds; der Bremer Entwurf hatte den ersten Preis eines 1950 ausgeschriebenen Wettbewerbs zur Förderung des deutschen Berufsschulbaus gewonnen, an dem sich 30 deutsche Städte beteiligt hatten. Der Architekt und Baurat Hans Krajeski hatte sich durch Studienreisen in die USA schlau gemacht und schließlich mit diesem Entwurf die Jury überzeugen können.

St. Sebald Church – Nuremberg

The Sebaldus-church is the older of the two major double-tower churches in the Nuremberg Old Town. Originally built in 1230 as late romanesque basilica in the following centuries repeatedly rebuilt and expanded until 1483. With the increase of the two towers (to approximately 80m) it's received the final gothic form. From the original romanesque building is still conserved the west choir protruding between the towers. However, even here later 3 high gothic windows were implemented. In front of the midle window is adapted a crucifix made by Johan Wurzelbauer. Inside the church is the tomb of St. Sebaldus the patron saint of Nuremberg. Until the Reformation (since 1525 the Sebalduskirche is Evangelical Lutheran) found numerous pilgrimages to his grave. Furthermore, there are many important works of art, such as the "Bamberger window" by Albrecht Dürer, in the inner church. In the 2nd World War II, the church was badly damaged and in the years after rebuilt until 1952.

Com fortes influências dos movimentos modernos, como o surrealismo e o abstracionismo, a sua produção isola-se no panorama português com uma forte marca individual. Esta escultura constitui a sua última grande obra e veio enriquecer o património monumental de Lisboa como uma das mais fortes e originais peças de arte pública implantadas na cidade na segunda metade do século XX.

Als 1498 Stadtwerkmeister Hans Beheim d. Ä. das innere Frauentor (seit ca. 1250 verlief hier die vorletzte Stadtbefestigung) abreißen ließ, wurde im Stadtgraben 1498–1502 der Getreidespeicher errichtet. Mit 84 x 20 x 29 m (LxBxH) war die Mauthalle das größte der zwölf städtischen Kornhäuser. In Krisen war so die Versorgung gesichert. Der dreigeschossige Sandsteinbau mit fünfgeschossigem Dacherker war an den Schmalseiten mit Wagen befahrbar. Zum Transport ins Innere dienten Aufzugsluken über den Giebelachsen und an den Traufseiten. Die Ostseite schmücken ein Netz von Kielbögen im Giebel und ein Spitzbogenportal mit den Stadtwappen (Adam Kraft, 1502). Seit 1572 war der Getreidespeicher auch Stadtwaage und Zollamt (Maut). 1897/98 Umnutzung zum Geschäftshaus. Beim Wiederaufbau 1953 ließ man das Fachwerk der Dacherker in verputztem Mauerwerk errichten. Im von 26 Säulen gestützten Keller ist eine Gaststätte untergebracht.

Weißenburg - St. Andreas Church

The evangelist church St. Andreas is the largest church building in Weißenburg and the tallest structure in the historical city core. It was built from 1294 to 1327 on the place of a previous church. The choir (quire) was built later and was intended to be the first part of a new, slightly rotated church building, which however was never finished. So it was integrated into the existing building, which leads to the noticable bent in the interior dome (not obviously visible from the outside). This also explains the place of the spire (west tower) set in front of the choir and finished in 1520. Further additions and modifications followed over the centuries. In 2007 the organ was renovated and inaugurated with a church service and concert. Today the church is used by the "Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirchengemeinde Weißenburg i. Bay."

Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II

The Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II) or Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) or "Il Vittoriano" is a monument to honour Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy. It is located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. The monument was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1895; sculpture for it was parceled out to established sculptors all over Italy. It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1935. The monument is built of pure white marble from Botticino, Brescia, and features majestic stairways, tall Corinthian columns, fountains, a huge equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 meters (490 ft) wide and 70 meters (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height is to 81 meters (265 ft). The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet.

Curia Iulia, Rome

The curia per antonomasia was the Curia Hostilia in Rome, which was the building where the Senate usually met. The Senate, initially just a meeting of the city elders from all tribes (its name comes from "senex", which means "old man"), saw its powers grow together with the conquest that brought a town of humble origins to rule a large Republic (and then decrease steadily with the advent of the Empire). During their expansion, the Romans exported the model to every city that gained the status of Municipium, so that it had its own Senate and its own officials charged with local administration (although they weren't usually elected but nominated by the central government; the only place where officials were actually elected by the people was Rome itself, and by Imperial times even those elections, although kept for the sake of tradition, had no more significance). Senators themselves were not elected since the early Republic, having been transformed into a hereditary nobility. By the Imperial period, a curia was any building where local government held office, i.e. judicial proceedings, government meetings, bureaucracy, etc., and shortly afterwards the term started to refer also to the people making up the local administration.

Braunschweig, Germany

Barocker Festungsring Braunschweig

Nach der Rückeroberung Braunschweigs durch die Fürsten von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel 1671 wurde 1692 damit begonnen einen Wallring in Völkerscher Manier, einer Abwandlung der neu-niederländischen Manier zu errichten. Besonders in den Jahren 1727/28 als Braunschweig mit Hannover Krieg führte wurd der Bau voran getreben, zum Einsatz kam der Wall allerdings nie. Er bestand größtenteils aus Erdwällen, lediglich der Glacisfuß war mit einer Backsteinmauer vor dem Abrutschen in die Oker geschützt. Nachdem der Wall aufgrund veränderter Kriegstechnik nutzlos wurde, und die Unterhaltskosten dem Nutzen nicht mehr gleich waren beschloss man den Wall ab 1801 zu schleifen und durch den Promenadenring Joseph-Peter Krahes zu ersetzen. Einige Bollwerke wurden teilweise erhalten, so die beiden Bollwerke im Theater- und Museumspark, oder der Gaußberg.

Funcionaba también como internado y los alumnos –todos ellos hombres- convivían con sus profesores. Este complejo educativo fue único en todo el país, sólo comparable a un clásico colegio inglés. El Colegio lleva actualmente el nombre de Rafael Hernández, personaje que vivió en el siglo XIX y que participó junto a Urquiza en la batalla de Cepeda (1859) como oficial del ejército de la Confederación. A fines del siglo, como senador provincial, se encargó de garantizar a La Plata su universidad además de otros numerosos proyectos educativos. Actualmente el colegio se encuentra bajo la controversial dirección de Gustavo Oliva, a quien se ha sugerido autoritario en sus políticas hacia los docentes y alumnos.

The bridge deck was originally designed for four traffic lanes, six trolley or subway tracks and two pedestrian lanes. Massive stiffening trusses were designed to keep the deck steady in wind and support the six rail tracks. Four of the track lanes were converted to road lanes in the 1920s. The center span is suspended from four 48 cm thick cables that consist of 7,696 individual wires each. The side spans are unsuspended and held up by truss supports. Four new towers and additional steel were added in the 1910s to support the side spans which were beginning to sag under the increasingly heavy traffic and subway cars. Since the 1980s, the bridge has undergone a thorough reconstruction to repair the damage caused by decades of lacked maintenance. Currently on average 110,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day.
