The original basement was completed in 1928 by Joseph Urban. The new tower addition was finished at 4 May 2006 lead-managed by Norman Forster. The Hearst Tower was the first skyscraper to break ground in New York City after September 11, 2001. The building received the 2006 Emporis Skyscraper Award, citing it as the best skyscraper in the world completed that year. The Hearst Tower includes a number of environmental considerations is also known for the iron diagrid pattern at the wall covering substrate. The building is located at 300 West 57th Street on 8th Avenue, near Columbus Circle. Thomas Kellner: Skyscraper City Upon entering Manhattan's newest landmark, the Hearst Tower, you are first engulfed by the building and then, your view is directed upwards by the light. The sensation is similar to wandering around New York's streets outside. The light, ground and atmosphere fly to your senses simultaneously. Going upstairs you arrive in the large atrium, an Italian plaza to a degree. However, the sky is heavy and still visible at the corners. Comparable to how Atlas shouldered the world, huge pillars stem the delightful glass and steel facades of Norman Foster's newest building. The outside structure that seems to be in the cubistic arte moderne style disappears inside where the old building's style dominates. My images bring this wonderful contrast of architecture and physical experience together in one place - perhaps a bit scary but at the same time playfully including the structural elements of the building itself.

Soon after we started a conversation I visited the Athenaeum in spring 2004. From then on we planed a commission for the bicentienal in 2007. In 2006 The Boston Athenaeum invited me for a commission to photograph my first real series of interiors at this beautiful old library, which becomes an exhibition and publication early 2008. Brief history The Boston Athenaeum, is one of the oldest independent libraries in the United States and was founded in 1807 by members of the Anthology Society. Today its collections comprise over half a million volumes, with particular strengths in Boston history, New England state and local history, biography, English and American literature, and the fine and decorative arts. The first three floors of the present Beacon Street building, designed by Edward Clarke Cabot, were constructed between 1847 and 1849. The first floor was originally a sculpture gallery, the second housed the library's growing collection of books, and the third, with skylights, served as a painting gallery. The building was completely renovated in 1913-1914, at which time the fourth and fifth floors were added and the entire structure fireproofed. Architect Henry Forbes Bigelow designed these improvements. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1966. |

Cantone and G.B. Castello. It was built for the Admiral Antonio Doria. The frescoed faþade, was painted by the Calvi school (16th century), while the splendid internal decorations are the work of F Calvi and the two Cambiasos: Giovanni and his son Luca. There are magnificent depicitions of Venice, Milan, Florence, Jerusalem, Anversa, Genova and Naples. Magnificence and Luminescence behind Gates Genoa is a city whose numerous narrow, centuries-old alleys with houses wind themselves alongside the hills. On summer days, the heat and humidity are captured here. Sometimes, there is a light breeze and I try to dry my wet forehead by turning my head to put together a clear thought. I did not come to this city from the harbor or the open sea. My first impressions were from the air. From a taxi into the city - over mountain roads similar to those where I live - through tunnels which they would like to build back home - I landed directly next to the Via Garibaldi. Many different ideas drove me into different corners of the city. Some of them I wanted to tackle, but all of a sudden I was captured by this city and my commission. My profession held me tightly between the palace walls - into a city, into another time and into the buildings whose thick gates seemed to block me from entering. In the broad streets of the Via Garibaldi and Via Balbi, it was a different type of confinement. The mighty palaces bore witness to power and wealth, stood in a straight row and stretched their thick walls toward me. I went through the large gates and any thoughts I had of narrow depressing alleys between high walls all vanished. It was as if I were stepping into an ethereal lightness. Stepping through these courtyards, flights of stairways and galleries was similar to drifting into a magnificent and affluent past. Glaring sunlight, shadows between the arches and columns, a light breeze and thick walls that defend against the heat - voices died away to a broad mumbling in the courtyards. Old doors fell into their well-oiled locks. Gates spiked with defensive points did allow entry to the visitor. Behind many a door shone the magnificent and light worlds of palaces from another time. Often, a friendly porter would nod in response to my questioning and bobbing photography movements, and I could thankfully invite these palaces to dance with my camera. |

The palace is the home of several of the departments of the University's Faculty of Literature and Philosophy. The building was designed over two floors, and has been frescoed by D. Piola, V. Castello, G. and L. De Ferrari, and D. Fiasella - the result of two investors Giacomo and Pantaleo wishing to add to the splendour of the building. It also has a fabulous garden complete with a pond full of lilies which was recently restored.

The church was granted basilica status by Pope Pius X in 1904.In 1921 a bomb planted in a flower vase near the altar by a anticlerical activist exploded causing great damage to the interior of the building. The modern basilica was built between 1974 and 1976 by the Mexican architect Pedro Ramírez Vßsquez. It is a circular building constructed in such a way as to allow maximum visibility for the image to those inside. The structure is supported by 350 pilots that prevent the basilica from sinking with the rest of the ground. |
