A short clip (30s) from Bethesda Terrace on a gorgeous spring (2023) day...

Overhead in the arcade are the unique & stunning 19th-Century encaustic "Minton" tiles.

Anyway walking around Belgrade today, I have established a theory that there are two basic types of cities in the former communist bloc of Central and Eastern Europe.

Type 1 are the cities with pretty 'chocolate box' central districts that don't seem to have changed much in centuries: eg Kraków, Prague, Lviv.

Type 2 are the cities where you can tell that a Lot of History has happened up to quite recent times: eg Warsaw, Belgrade, Kyiv. Doesn't necessarily mean they're unattractive, but they are complex to engage with.

Bit of a generalisation, but it's something to work with. What do you think?

Belgrade really has the most eclectic mix of architecture. On this one square for example, on one side you have my beautiful 1908 hotel… And on the other you have what can only be called a concrete monstrosity.

That's the thing about concrete buildings, isn't it? They don't age at all well. The second place probably looked okay when it was brand-new, but let the concrete age and add air-conditioning units to the outside, and it's a mess.

Look here upon this picture and on this, as Shakespeare wrote...

#Architectonic #Photographs by Charles Brooks Illuminate the Atmospheric Interiors of Historic Instruments —

Charles Brooks's ongoing photographic #Architecture in #Music series highlights the inner structures of renowned instruments, imbuing the interiors with airy light.

Bringing the camera inside a variety of string, brass, keyboard, and woodwind instruments offers unique insight into rarely seen textures, details, and patinas.

He angles the camera from a low viewpoint, mimicking the perspective of standing in a grand space and looking up at architectural details like columns or skylights.

Kyutei Omuro・旧邸御室
Kyutei Omuro is a traditional Japanese mansion, built in 1937. While most people shoot this scene straight on with a reflection of the garden on the polished wood table, I prefer this angled shot that shows more of the room itself.
1937年に建てられた日本の伝統的な邸宅である旧邸御室。多くの人はこのシーンを真正面から撮影し、磨き上げられた木のテーブルに庭が映るように撮影しますが、私は部屋そのものをより多く見せるこのアングルのショットを好みます。

🍊 🍋 This building is an orangery, a place where potted citrus and other fruit trees are overwintered. I photographed it in Germany, at the beautiful Rastatt Favorite Palace.

🎨 #BreitensteinArt #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #palace #photography #flowers #architecture #germany #travel

Photo of a small, low, one-story building, with three large, vertical windows on the front facade, and a wide, almost Asian-influenced, mottled red tile roof. The wall is a pale lavender-blue divided by light yellow molding, and the windows are surrounded by wide, orange-painted panels. Each window is covered by vertical and crisscrossed latticework. Before each window, on a manicured dirt-pebble walkway, are three barrel-style potted plants, wood staves surrounded by metal hoops. Each plant looks very healthy, the left sporting red flowers, the middle both climbing and draping fine greenery, with small yellow flowers, and the rightmost is cascading white blossoms in a lovely spray. There are large green-leafed trees in the background.

Architect William Pereira was the creator of many a memorable building—the Transamerica Pyramid tower in San Francisco, CBS's Television City in Hollywood, and Pepperdine University in Malibu, to name a few. The unique futuristic design is representative of hands holding up books.

Here’s Cassim Shepard on the great (and under-known) architect/designer John #Habraken, and his commitment to maximum user control over #housing through a system of standardized infrastructural “supports.” Habraken’s rejection of the usual invidious binary between industrial production and user-defined #architecture earns him a place alongside Ken Isaacs and Walter Segal in the great what-ifs of 20th century architectural design.
