Okey if you have any Architectural pics just 'dump' 'em here for my collection :D

I really would like to know what you have in your town...

Churches (especially old ones, from gothic to Baroc)
Old Libraries
Old houses
Old apartmentbuildings
Nice stairs from the Baroc or whatever actually, I like them all.
Castles (If you live in the UK and you have some...please!! :D)

Anything that has to do with architecture :)

Would be really great if you could fill up my collection :)

* Please post a thumbnail, if it's bigger than 800*600.
* If you know, please post the name of the building, so I can name the picture
* And I don't care about how much you post per day, as much as possible.
 
Ok, just a suggestion and request from now on, specially to those who upload to imageshack. Please post the thumbnail version. It's much easier when we come back to see what's new. ;)
 
Yeah thanks for the suggestion Bihus.

And UKD , DAMN, that's a pretty baby!

Do you have a name of it? Or more 1024 pics?
 
The last one looks like something between 1400-1500 maybe earlier. Lots of regions have different styles of architecture too, so it's difficult to say one building is 1 type of architecture, lots of buildings are built in 100s of years and they went from one to another style.
 
I don't know much about architecture outside Europe, if this were in Europe (UK for instance) it might be like that yeah. But I think earlier though.
 
They are all part on the same island. They were built about 100 years ago.

The guy built it for his wife who died before it was completed, so the entire island just sat abandoned for 75 years.
 
Ah okey, that's the funny thing about Architecture. Renaissance has elements from the Ancient Greek and Romans (sp?) then Gothic tried to be the opposite of Renaissance, after that Baroc broke the straight and geometric forms of the Renaissance, Classismus (sp?) got back to the Renaissance and copied whole fronts of houses. Bit hard to explain this in 5 sentences but the essence is that elements in Architecture are being used from the past all the time. Even now.
 
^ I know what you mean. I was in Rome, and I saw what I thought was one of the ancient buildings. It had been built only a few years ago. :blush:
 
I've posted these in lens flair but now in their full size:



 
I didn't bring my camera w/ me, i see a NICE shot within my lab building at mission bay @ UCSF.

Maybe next time i'll find something for all of us.

Well, in Rome you have got the big building Mussolini built. It looks like a Roman palace, but actually it's only 70 years old. It's in the center of Rome and nowadays it's a art gallery.

Yeah it's called Vittoriano. As far as I know it's a monument entitled to Vittorio Emanuele (he was an italian architect). But the building of this artwork actually started in the 1880-1885, don't know exactly, and it was completed in 1935. This is some kind of tomb which burries the "Unkown soldier".
