Architecture

Architecture is the use of artistic talent and technical knowledge. Apart from the design of individual buildings, architecture can embrace town planning, landscaping and even furniture design. Space and volume, light and shadow, materials and texture all play their part on the creative side, while technology, construction and cost are the more down-to-earth elements. Architectural works are perceived as cultural and historic symbols providing pointers for the understanding of historical civilizations. #architect #architecture # design #building #landscaping

The Great Wall of China

The majority of the existing world famous wall was re-built during the Ming Dynasty (14th to17th centuries AD). The Wall runs approximately east / west and acted as a military road as well as a defence. Yes you can see it from space, but no it’s not the only piece of human construction that can be seen from earth orbit. #china #great #wall

Kawakawa Toilets, NZ, by Hundertwasser

Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an expatriate Austrian artist and architect living in this tiny town (population not much more than 1,000) in the North Island of New Zealand. In 1998 he designed and built an amazing municipal public convenience, without straight lines and with a bold use of colour and light. If you go to see it, either have someone of the opposite gender take photos for you, or better still be brave enough to go into both toilets yourself! #kawakawa #hundertwasser #toilets #nz #newzealand

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

In 1173 AD when construction started, the gothic style was new. The building wasn’t “completed” until 1345, and anyway the 90 metre spire wasn’t added until the 19th century. One of many architectural highlights is the rose window in the South Transept – one of three magnificent rosettes in this glorious national church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. #cathedrale #notre-dame #paris

The Tower of the Arabs, Dubai

Burj Al Arab in Dubai, UAE, was an architectural record-breaker when it opened in 1999: the world’s tallest hotel with the highest atrium at 180 metres, and the world’s only 7 star hotel. It cost $650 million to build on its artificial island off Jumeirah beach. The design in concrete with its steel exoskeleton imitates the full sail of an Arab dhow, but is much less eco-friendly, needing vast amounts of energy to control the temperature and floodlight the building in changing colours. Although it lost its records to Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world since 2010. #tower #dubai

Gaudi’s Parc Guell, Barcelona

At his death in 1926, the wonderful Catalan Modernist architect, Antoni Gaudi, left the world numerous magnificent buildings in Barcelona, including the fantasy cathedral Sagrada Familia, and the fascinating apartment La Pedrera (open to the public). But it is at Parc Guell that you will have the breathtaking visual experience of finding the original shapes, textures and colours of his magical designs displayed in a charming, open-air setting. #barcelona # gaudi's #parc #guell
