Chiang Rai city pillar, Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong

The Navel City Pillar of Chiang Rai () was constructed in 1987 on the occasion of the 60th birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the 725th anniversary of the City of Chiang Rai in northern Thailand.
Construction was supervised by Mr. Aram Aiem-arun, former governor of Chiang Rai and the project supported by the Social Research Institute of Chiang Mai University, Chiang Rai inhabitants, the private sector, and the German government.
The Navel City Pillar is atop Doi Chom Thong (Chom Thong Hill) on the grounds of Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong. The main pillar and 108 surrounding pillars were constructed in Khmer style "Banom Ba-Keang" based on Lanna beliefs. The outside area symbolises river and land, the inner part the six tiers of the heavens (Catummaharajika, Tavatimsa, Yama, Tusita, Nimmanarati, and Paranimmitavasavatti) which are divided by the five important rivers of ancient legend (Ganges, Yamuna, Ajiravati, Sarabhu, and Mahi). The platform of the main pillar is made of marble which is divided into three tiers to symbolise the Rupabrahma, Arupabrahma, and Nirvana. The main pillar is on a triangular base.
The width of the main pillar is five times the width of the king's fist and its height matches the king's. Mr Singhkhum Somkrue engraved the navel city pillars.
Near the navel city pillar, there is a "National Cultural Cell of Chiang Rai" constructed on 19 January 2001. It contains cultural evidence of contemporary culture buried underground. It is to be opened 100 years after its burial.

Coleman Bridge, Singapore

Coleman Bridge is a vehicular bridge in Singapore. The bridge links Hill Street and New Bridge Road, spanning the Singapore River near Clarke Quay. Part of the bridge demarcates the boundary between the Downtown Core and the Singapore River Planning Area, both of which are located within the Central Area.
The Coleman Bridge was the second bridge built across the Singapore River and the first built in masonry.
History.
In 1840, a brick bridge joining Old Bridge Road and Hill Street over the Singapore River was constructed and called Coleman Bridge. The bridge had nine arches, and was designed by and named after George Drumgoole Coleman (1795–1844), an Irish architect and Singapore's first architect. It was referred to as the New Bridge, lending its name to the road on its southern end — New Bridge Road.
In 1865, the brick bridge was replaced by one made of timber but was not well constructed. It cost about Straits $10,000 and was built by the government.
In 1886, an iron bridge was built to replace the wooden one. This iron bridge was considered one of the most attractive spanning the Singapore River. It was present for about 100 years, where the bridge had shown signs of ageing, and the need to refurbish the bridge. The widening of Coleman Bridge was planned since 1977, but had not been announced until 1984, where the construction of the extra road necessitated the demolition of the old iron bridge. The eastbound carriageway was shifted to the western side, where the traffic switch is on March 1986. It was replaced by present concrete bridge in December 1987 for the westbound carriageway. The move facilitates better traffic flow for about 15 years before the North East MRT Line opens.
However, several features of the iron bridge such as the decorative lamp posts and iron railings were incorporated into the current structure, in recognition of its historical significance.
Coleman Bridge is known as "yi ma lo khiu" or "the bridge at the second road" in Cantonese.


Swiss Customs Museum

The Swiss Customs Museum, or Museo doganale svizzero, is a museum located in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The museum is sited near Cantine di Gandria, directly across the Lake Lugano from the village of Gandria, and adjacent to the border with Italy. The museum was formerly a border post on that border, but now forms part of the Swiss National Museum.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, smuggling flourished in the mountain valleys of Ticino and Graubünden, and the museum covers the history of this, and the work of customs officers to counteract it. In a modern context, it covers the work of the Swiss Federal Customs Administration and the Swiss Border Guard.
The museum has no road access, and is best reached by boat. Boats of the Società Navigazione del Lago di Lugano (SNL) provide several crossings a day to Lugano.

The Darling of Paris

The Darling of Paris is a 1917 American silent romantic drama film directed by J. Gordon Edwards and starring Theda Bara and Glen White. It was a very loose film adaptation of the 1831 novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" by Victor Hugo. It was produced by William Fox. "The Darling of Paris" was later re-edited from six to five reels and re-released by Fox on February 16, 1919. The film is now considered lost.
Plot.
The wealthy girl Esmeralda (Theda Bara) is kidnapped by gypsies at birth and becomes, as one might assume, the darling of Paris. She is loved by the bell ringer and former hunchback Quasimodo (Glen White), Frollo (Walter Law), the wicked surgeon who cares for him, and an equally wicked Captain Phoebus (Herbert Heyes).
However, the titular hunchback is downplayed in favor of gypsy dancing girl Esmerelda. The surgeon kills the Captain and frames Esmeralda, but after many merry mix-ups, she winds back with her wealthy family, happily wed to Quasimodo.
Production notes.
The film was shot at the Fox Studios then located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. An elaborate set was constructed on the back lot to recreate Paris where the film is set. The set also included a reproduction of the Notre Dame de Paris.
Brazil.
The release in Brazil was done with the title "A Favorita de Paris" in September 17, 1917 on the cinemas Ideal and Pathé, both from Rua da Carioca 60-62, Rio de Janeiro. It also debuted on Cine Haddock Lobo in September 30, 1917. Cinema Haddock Lobo was located near the Largo da Segunda-Feira, in a street of several theaters.

Aspotogan Sea Spa

The Aspotogan Sea Spa was a luxury hotel development at the tip of the Aspotogan Peninsula, Nova Scotia, Canada. Construction was aborted in the mid-1990s when the developer ran out of money, leaving the hulking hotel building sitting abandoned for two decades until it was demolished in 2016.
History.
The Sea Spa Nova Scotia, as it was called when first marketed in 1990, was privately financed by German siblings Brigitta Hennig and Wolfgang Spiegelhauer of the construction company Suwobau. The two stated that they were "deeply impressed by the beauty of the land" and conceived the 131-room, five-storey, 175,500-square-foot luxury resort to be developed at an estimated cost of C$37.5 million on a site of more than 120 hectares. They predicted that Europeans would flock to the hotel to enjoy a range of stress-relieving activities including seashore walks, body-building, underwater massage, electrical therapy, and electro-galvanic and carbon-dioxide baths. The hotel was to feature an indoor saltwater pool, special air-filtration systems, and the use of non-toxic construction materials. The project received $10,000 from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency to assist in marketing. The spa was a welcome development in an area hit by the decline of the fishing industry, and was expected to employ up to 200 people.
Construction began in 1992. In 1994, after the hotel structure was substantially complete and weather-tight, the developers ran out of money and couldn't secure additional financing after sinking more than $20 million into the project. One of their partners had dropped out of the project, and the value of their assets in Germany had reportedly depreciated following the reunification of that country. The collapse of the project left many contractors unpaid, putting some smaller companies out of business. In late 1996 creditors forced a foreclosure sale to two Halifax developers, Jim Spatz and George Armoyan, for a mere $505,759.
Spatz and Armoyan tried for years, to no avail, to resell the development to a hotel company. In a 2015 interview, Spatz stated that as the building aged they felt it became less and less likely that it would ever be completed, so they decided to demolish it. Demolition began in late 2015. The site will be subdivided into private residential lots.

Lester B. Pearson Civic Centre

The Lester B. Pearson Civic Centre was located in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada, It was a community arts and theatre center that also housed community offices. Locals commonly refer to it as “the Civic Centre.”  The building originally housed the Nordic Hotel, built when the town was first opening its mines. Later, it became the site of many community events and the location of many arts clubs, as well as the Welcome Centre, the Art Gallery, and the Elliot Lake Nuclear and Mining Museum. Following its collapse in February 2019 the City of Elliot Lake has been left without an arts and theatre center.
History.
Nordic Hotel.
The Nordic Hotel was one of the first 3 hotels built in Elliot Lake before 1960.  Each hotel had approximately 30 rooms as well as beer parlors enjoyed by the community.  Completed first was the Nordic hotel which contained 40 rooms and a dining room.  For a time, it boasted the “biggest bar in Algoma.”  The Nordic Hotel operated as such until the first mining “bust” in the 1970s, following the termination of the 5-year US uranium mining contracts.  The Elliot Lake Nuclear and Mining Museum opened during this time and ran out of the old bar room of another hotel: the Elliot Lake Hotel.  The Mining Museum opened June 3rd 1963, funded and organized largely by the Province of Ontario, and by August 7th of that year it had attracted 10 000 visitors. The Toronto firm Disney Displays was responsible for setting up the exhibition models.
Town Hall.
The Nordic hotel became the temporary site of the town hall after it went out of business.  For a short while, a church was using the old dining room to hold service.
Conversion to Theatre and Arts Centre.
After a transitionary period, the building was purchased by a local arts and culture group, who converted it to a cultural and live theatre center.  The theatre took up one wing of the building, with craft rooms in the basement, and a local art museum in the other wing.  The theatre was built to seat 360 people and contained a small stage, with sound and lighting equipment for small productions, as well as a backstage room and dressing rooms repurposed from the original hotel rooms, bathrooms included. During this time, the building was renamed after Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, who had served the Algoma East riding as a Member of Parliament, and had a political interest in maintaining the mines of Elliot Lake.  While serving as Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson had the Government of Canada stockpile uranium for a year, then 5 years, allowing mines in Elliot Lake to remain open while navigating the period between the completed U.S. uranium mining contracts and potential new contracts with Nuclear Power companies.
Transfer of Operations to the City of Elliot Lake.
The arts and culture group could not afford to keep the center operating, so in the mid 1990s they turned it over to the City of Elliot Lake.  Upon its acquisition, the City moved the Elliot Lake Nuclear and Mining Museum into the basement, added a tourism Welcome Centre desk and renovated the upper floor to rentable office space.  In the 2000s the office space became the home of the SERCO drive test office, the ELNOS offices, and MP Carol Hughes’ office.  The City began running community events out of the theatre space as well as renting it out to local groups.
Architecture.
The Civic Centre was built originally as a hotel, and though it underwent many architectural changes, it retained several hotel features.  Originally, it was a simple wood framed building.  The two wings encompassed a courtyard in front of the main entrance.  During the renovation to include the theatre space, a steel structure was added to increase the roof span.  The façade was covered in a neutral-toned paneling, and kept the original rectangular windows from the hotel, except in the theatre and main lobbies, which had floor to ceiling windows installed.  Although no other building in Elliot Lake uses the same paneling, the Civic Centre had a similar utilitarian style and color palette as City Hall.  Due to the unique paneling, and its position as the main tourist hub and community events center, the Civic Centre was a notable, landmark building in Elliot Lake.
Community Events.
A few of the arts and culture groups located in the Civic Centre (with some changes over the years) included:
The Civic Centre became the primary building for Elliot Lake community events.  Events such as the annual community Christmas Concert, the Arts on the Trail Festival, and Christmas and Spring craft fairs were headquartered from this building.  All community parades would start at the Civic Centre and end at the W.H. Collins Centre on Hillside Dr. S, including the annual Pride Parade and Pride Show.  The theatre hosted many visiting artists and live performers from across Canada, brought by the Elliot Lake Entertainment Series on a monthly basis.  Other local groups would rent the space for performances, such as ELATE, the SDP, the local dance studio (formerly Danceworks, now Studio Dance Arts), and Suite Music’s many choirs and instrumental groups.  Notably, the Civic Centre also hosted community meetings too large for City Hall after the 2012 collapse of the Algo Centre Mall.
Theatre Collapse.
February 21st, 2019, the roof over the theatre collapsed.  There were only 5 people inside the theatre at the time, though the collapse occurred only a few minutes before a scheduled rehearsal by ELATE, for their opening night of “Shorthanded” the next day.  Had it happened several minutes later, 10 or so people would have been directly under the roof that fell, and if it had been 24 hours later, 300 people would have been inside the theatre to watch the show.  There was public speculation that the collapse was due to a combination of an improperly installed HVAC system a few years prior, that exceeded the recommended weight load of the roof, and the heavy snow load received that winter. There was only one person affected with minor injuries, and officials ruled that the collapse occurred due to built up snow load rather than any engineering or inspection failure.  The damage to the building was severe and prompted the city to close other municipal buildings, including the Centennial Arena and the Ruben Yli Juuti Pool, to assess their snow loads and take safety precautions such as clearing the roofs.
Demolition.
Initially the City of Elliot Lake speculated that repairs could be made to the Civic Centre, however, the anticipated cost of repair was $3.7 million.  Many members of the public thought it would be better to demolish the building and build a new arts and sports complex, which has been a talking point at Council Meetings for several years.  Many local politicians reported receiving feedback in favor of demolition and a new center, an idea supported by the Nuclear and Mining Museum Advisory Board, as well as other arts groups in the city. In October of  2019, a city council meeting was held to decide if council wanted to proceed with the costly repairs or opt for demolition. The cost of demolition was weighed against the historical cost to the community, and the final decision was to demolish the Civic Centre.  The new goal was to apply for grants as well as use the insurance money to build a new arts center, estimated at $8- to- $12 million.  In December, Colin’s Haulage won the bid to demolish the civic center for $205,25.  The Insurance settlement was just over $3.5 million, which more than covered that cost.
Everything that could be saved was salvaged from the wreckage, including several items of historic value to the community.  One of the items salvaged from the demolition were the bronze Denison Mine front doors, which were works of art depicting scenes from the mines.  Other items salvaged were huge B.C. fir beams from the basement and some marble tiles, as well as all art and museum pieces that could be accessed.
Aftermath.
The collapse of the Civic Centre forced the tenants to relocate.  Some have found permanent homes since the demolition, while others are still in temporary spaces.  The municipally-owned W.H. Collin’s Centre (known locally as the “Collin’s Hall”) has become the main space for theatre activities, due to the City installing an “enhanced performance space” in the existing stage of the gymnasium. Groups such as the Elliot Lake Entertainment Series, the Stage Door Players, and the Elliot Lake Amateur Theatre Ensemble have all relocated there.  In addition, the City has moved the Elliot Lake Welcome Centre (for tourism) to the Collin’s Hall offices.  The Elliot Lake Nuclear and Mining Museum was damaged in the collapse and has not yet found a location to reopen with the salvaged artifacts.  Some artifacts have been placed temporarily in the Fire Tower Lookout Ranger’s Station, though the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame was not among them.  The Art Gallery and Digital Creator North have been relocated to open retail spaces downtown.  The other offices, groups, and crafts rooms have been relocated to various retail spaces, churches, and community spaces around the city.

Pellerhaus

The Pellerhaus monument (referred to as Mayersches Pellerhaus in relation to the post-war building) is an archive and library building on Egidienplatz in Nuremberg's old city centre. It extends over the area of the historic Pellerhaus and the historic Imhoff house to the east of it, which was rebuilt after the war in the contemporary design of the late 1950s.
An important art and architectural Renaissance building stood here before its destruction in 1944 to 1945 during the bombing of Nuremberg in World War II. The ground floor and parts of the courtyard have been preserved and were integrated into the new building in 1955/1957. At that time, the funds for the complete reconstruction were lacking. From 2008 to 2018, the courtyard was reconstructed through the initiative of the cultural organisation Old Town Friends Nuremberg (Altstadtfreunde Nürnberg) using donations. The Old Town Friends intend to reconstruct the entire Pellerhaus to its original design.
Historic Pellerhaus.
Architecture.
The old Pellerhaus found its way into art history as an outstanding example of a town house from around 1600. Martin Peller had the house built from 1602 to 1605. Peller and his family moved into the house in 1625. He died there four years later. The Peller's family lived in the house until 1828.
The Pellerhaus was composed of a front building, courtyard and a rear building, a style typical of classic Nuremberg. However, the front building facade was an exceptionally complex form for Nuremberg. Instead of a reserved, eaves-like facade, as was customary in Nuremberg, it was more reminiscent of the trading houses of the North German or Hanseatic area.
Two stories and three attics rose above the base floor of rusticated pillow blocks. The seven window axes were flanked by pilasters that ended above the triangular gable in richly decorated obelisks. Up to the height of the eaves, the pilasters took over the rustic structure of the basement, above which they were covered with fittings. In the top of the gable, two hermen pilasters carried a shell with the chronogram "CVM Deo", which referred to the year 1605. The facade was completed with a Jupiter statue. Further accents on the central axis were a choir above the entrance portal, as well as a relief of St. Martin of Tourson the third floor, which alluded to the name of the owner Martin Peller.
The courtyard had arcades that rose on octagonal pillars, with two gallery corridors above them. The rear building did not have a gallery on its facade. Instead, it had a striking bay window, which was supposed to take away the tube-like character of the narrow courtyard. The parapets were designed with Gothic-style tracery, with no repetitive ornamentation.
The interior of the Pellerhaus was also very elaborately decorated. The entrance hall is divided into nine roughly square yokes with Gothic ribbed vaults. In the so-called "beautiful room" the walls were lined with lavishly carved panelling, while the ceiling was decorated with ceiling paintings. The subject of the painting was Phaethon on the sun chariot surrounded by ancient figures of gods and allegorical figures. Another state hall also had a magnificent wall covering and a coffered ceiling.
The Pellerhaus was spared extensive conversions over the years and by the time of its destruction, was largely in its original state. In 1929, the city of Nuremberg bought the Pellerhaus from private ownership in order to use it as a city archive. In 1934, the Pellerhaus was completely restored by order of the city of Nuremberg.
Destruction and reconstruction.
During an air raid on Nuremberg on October 3, 1944, the Pellerhaus was severely damaged by explosive devices and burned out completely when the Royal Air Force attacked on January 2, 1945. Large parts of the house collapsed on January 3, 1945. Part of the ground floor with the entrance hall, the stair tower, the cellar and large parts of the arcade courtyard have been preserved.
In 1952 the "Ideas Competition for the Reconstruction of Egidienplatz" was announced. The 1st prize of the competition was won by the Nuremberg architects Fritz and his son Walter Mayer. The design envisaged a complete development on the site in functional forms typical of the time. The remains of the old Pellerhaus were to be preserved and a contemporary magazine building was built on the partially reconstructed base floor, which was used to store archive materials.
After the drafts were drawn up in 1953 and various changes to the plan, the foundation stone was laid on April 7, 1956. On December 14, 1957, the building complex was inaugurated.
The reconstruction of the courtyard began in the spring of 1956, which also removed parts of the original Renaissance fabric. In 1960 the reconstruction was completed for the time being with the partial reconstruction of the courtyard arcades on the first floor. The building was put under monument protection in 1998.
Heinz Schmeißner , the Nuremberg city building council and head of the reconstruction of the city in the post-war period, later described it as a mistake that the Renaissance building of the Pellerhaus was not reconstructed. The renowned Frankfurt architecture critic Dieter Bartetzko stated: "The people of Nuremberg hated the rebuilt "(1950's Mayersche)" Pellerhaus, today they ignore it."
Reconstruction of the courtyard.
In autumn 2005 an initiative was developed by the stonemason Harald Pollmann to rebuild the Pellerhaus courtyard. The 'Old Town Friends of Nuremberg' joined the project and founded the "Pellerhaus working group". The monument protection authority was initially opposed to a reconstruction, since in their opinion the existing historical substance would be endangered.
In May 2006, the city council fundamentally spoke in favour of a reconstruction, contrary to the monument protection office; but excluding financial participation in the reconstruction. The initiative then developed a concept in which everyone can make a donation to cover the cost of a special cuboid of the facade.
In October 2008, the first stone for the reconstruction of the courtyard facade was laid during a ceremony. In mid-2013, the surrounding walls were completely rebuilt up to the second floor, and the reconstruction of the eastern arcades began.
The 'Old Town Friends of Nuremberg' raised a total of 4.5 million euros by February 2018. The opening ceremony for the reconstructed interior courtyard was held on 14 July 2018. It has been open to the public since then.
Reconstruction of the main facade.
The building complex from the 1950s is in need of renovation after more than 60 years and so in November 2018, the old town friends announced that they would take over the reconstruction of the entire Pellerhaus. This south facade, is counted by art historians as among the most important of secular Renaissance facades. This proposal is widely discussed in the city amidst much controversy.

History.
Perellos Redoubt was built between 1715 and 1716 as part of the Order of Saint John's first building program of coastal fortifications. It was one of two redoubts defending Salina Bay. The redoubt on the other side of the bay, known as Ximenes Redoubt, is still intact.
The redoubt was named after Grand Master Ramon Perellos y Roccaful. The redoubt consisted of a pre-existing "mandrague" which was converted into a blockhouse, and a rectangular enclosure with a high parapet wall designed to protect infantrymen. The latter was similar to the design of Ximenes Redoubt, but it also had a small bastion on a corner of its perimeter wall.

Palace Theatre (Syracuse, New York)

The Palace Theatre is a 1920s-era movie palace in the village of Eastwood in Syracuse, New York. It has been owned and operated by the same family for more than 80 years.
History.
The Palace was built in 1922 by local businessman Alfred DiBella. The theater featured 1300 seating, a second floor dining and dance ballroom. After Alfred died in 1959, ownership was transferred to his daughter, Frances DiBella, who was behind the cash register or the popcorn counter nearly every night for more than fifty years. On her death on April 26, 2004, ownership passed to her nephew, Michael Heagerty, who embarked on an extensive renovation of the theatre including opening The Palace Café next door (which has since been closed). Until the doors shut for renovation in 2004, the theatre had reputedly never been closed for more than a week during its entire history. Renovations included the installation of a digital high-definition video system, Dolby Surround Sound, and laptop presentation capability with the largest computer graphic projection in Central New York.
Despite a temporary setback due to flooding soon after it reopened, the theatre is presently a lively venue for current and classic movies, meetings, parties, speeches, live concerts, lectures, benefits, and other community events. Syracuse Mayor Matthew Driscoll delivered his 2005 "State of the City" address at The Palace, and it hosts an annual B-Movie Film Festival that draws attendees from all over the world.
The Palace has been independently owned and operated throughout its history. It is one of three independent movie theatres in Syracuse; the others are the Hollywood in the hamlet of Mattydale near the Syracuse airport; and the Manlius Art Cinema in Manlius.

The costs of the castle were initially estimated at 60 million guilders (more than 27 million euros), later increased to 120 million guilders. Due to financial problems, the construction project was halted in 2002.
In 2005 the project was bought by the previously established company Gravin BV. In addition to a hotel and a wedding location in the castle, Gravin BV also wanted to build houses on the site. However, to make the latter possible, a change to the zoning plan was necessary. In 2008, the Almere municipal council decided not to agree to a proposal to that effect.
Since 2013 there were plans to build an amusement park called WitchWorld in and around the castle. In October 2015, WitchWorld took an option to buy the castle for 20 million euros from Gravin BV, with an escape clause if the plans for the amusement park would not be financially or politically successful. Since the financing of the park could indeed not be realized, it did not come to an actual purchase. In November 2016, WitchWorld promoters were given more time to arrange funding, but the entire project was halted in October 2018.

Heimaey stave church

Heimaey Stave Church ("Stafkirkjan") is a close replica of Haltdalen stave church situated in the Skansinn area of the harbour of Vestmannaeyjabær on Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland.
History.
The church was completed on July 30, 2000, and was a gift from Norway to Iceland in connection with the millennial anniversary of the conversion of Iceland to Christianity by Olav Tryggvason in the year 1000. Developing from a suggestion by the Icelandic government, the Norwegian state presented Iceland with a replica of the Haltdalen Stave Church ("Haltdalen stavkirke"), originally from around the 1170s. The first church known on Iceland was a post church and not a stave church.
The replica was erected by the harbour of Vestmannaeyjabær in the Vestmannaeyjar, in an area formed by the lava of the 1973 eruption of Eldfell. The replica was undertaken by the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research as a three-year research and reconstruction project from 1998 to 2000 under the leadership of professor Elisabeth Seip, Head of Research at the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research.
The church was constructed at Lom from materials deliberately drawn widely from around Norway, including timber from Røros, shingles from Odalen, tar from Skjåk, wrought iron from Vågå, and a doorstep from Holtålen. A gallery was added around the outside of the building, inspired by other stave churches, to provide the building with extra strength against the stormy weather of the Vestmannaeyjar. The church was built and consecrated in summer 2000, and was completed on 30 July 2000. The project was supported by a Norwegian government grant of 5.5m Norwegian kroner; Icelandic government funding for the redevelopment of the Skansinn area of Vestmannaeyjarbær as a heritage area; and some private sponsorship was also involved, most importantly that the Icelandic company Eimskip shipped the church to Iceland for free.
The National Church of Norway also gave an altar piece. It is replica of the St Olav frontal, one of the finest surviving medieval Norwegian works of art, undertaken under the leadership of Terje Nordsted. The original is at Nidaros Cathedral but is said (without any substantial supporting evidence) once to have been situated in the Haltdalen stave church.

La Muralla Roja

La Muralla Roja () is a postmodern apartment complex in Manzanera, Calpe, Spain. It is designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill for the client Palomar S.A. in 1968 and fully constructed by 1973. It has been ranked among "Ricardo Bofill's 10 Most Iconic Works".
In designing the building, Bofill referenced the architecture of North African casbahs and Arab Mediterranean architectural styles. It reinterprets the casbahs in an avant-garde fashion while incorporating the traditional elements like plazas (courtyards), staircases and bridges that connect all the apartments to one another.
As a residency, it holds several amenities such as two commercial stores, a sauna and a restaurant all on the first level. On roof terraces there are solariums and a swimming pool exclusively for use of its residents.
La Muralla Roja is referred to as a housing estate that has fifty apartments/ living spaces. There are three different styles and sizes of apartments: Studio apartments of approximately 60 square meters, two bedroom apartments of 80 square meters, and three bedroom apartments of approximately 120 square meters.
Design.
The apartment complex is constructed based on the geometric figure of the greek cross with approximately 5 meter arms. It has exactly fourteen of these crosses imbedded into its design, one being the swimming pool found on a roof terrace. Apartments interiors are formatted to have kitchens and bathrooms at the intersections of the cross structures.
The entire complex is based on five connected plants. Three of these follow the same structure of being four levels, with each level being different from the other. The first level is composed of a four plan module composed into an L shape that is 64 square meters. Despite the interior model being L shaped the courtyards and patios are what in the end give it the resulting shape of a cross. The second level consists of five module apartments that are 80 square meters. The third floor is a replica of the first floor with the exception of it being rotated 180 degrees. The last floor of 78.90 square meters only consists of a single apartment, replicating those of the second floor.
The other two plants are only three floors and follow a similar pattern to first and third floors of the other three plants, in that they are composed of L shaped apartments. Its staggered and compartmental structure suggests a brutalist architectural style.
The interior and exterior courtyards/ patios found throughout the complex function as a connection between the apartments of neighbors.They also become an architectural technique to allow natural light into each apartment.
It is often considered to be simplistic on design but the use of color on the exterior of the buildings is what gives an illusion of space. The vibrant walls are painted with different tones of the colors red, pink, blue and violet. Blue is used on central courtyards, pink for subsidiary courtyards, and everything else like staircases, bridges, and retaining walls are painted violet.
It is a common interpretation that the red and pink tones of La Muralla Roja are used to present a contrast against or an emphasis on the landscape with the earthy colors of red and pink. Similarly the blue tones are used against the hues of the sky and/or water. This consideration of environment is a common attribute of Ricardo Bofill’s work and is especially present in his other architectural designs such as the Social Club of Manzanera and Xanadu building.
Material.
Each section of the apartment complex is constructed through a modular frame using cement as primary construction material.
Tourist Attraction.
La Muralla Roja is categorized as a tourist attraction of east coast Spain. Apartment’s can be rented on a nightly basis or bought, however it maintains its status as an apartment complex.
