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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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).
