• Winding

    Toward the top floor of a hotel, near the Jardin du Luxembourg.

  • Junctions

    Where parking garage meets apartments. The Marina City buildings in downtown Chicago circa 1997, processed from an old film scan. These are the buildings on the cover of Wilco’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” album.

  • Stacked

    A residential tower on Younge Street, near College.

  • Sao Paulo Kaliedoscope

    My first attempt at a kaliedoscopic technique of a cityscape, using the view from the courtyard of the São Paulo Museum of Art.

  • Staggered Windows

    On a walking tour of a trendy neighborhood near Avenue Paulista and the impressive São Paulo Museum of Art.

  • Boats, Houses, Houseboats

    On an overcast February morning in 2012, after two weeks in Malawi and a serendipitous travel diversion, it was great to be back in Amsterdam. Before I left Schiphol airport, I looked up a walking tour of the city. This was taken on that tour, near the Centraal Station.

  • Arts and Crafts

    Originally dating from 1904, the Arts et Métiers (Arts and Crafts) station was redesigned to look like something out of a Jules Verne novel.

  • Tower and Traffic

    A vertical panorama, assembled from individual 2.5-second exposures. One of those images became Tower Segment, posted a month ago.

  • The Bird

    With today’s news of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), home of iconic architect Richard Rogers, being awarded the design for a new terminal for the Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, I thought it fitting to showcase the first amazing piece of work at the airport, Santiago Calatrava’s Satolas TGV station. A photo from the inside is what kicked off the relaunch of this blog back in April.

  • Musee at Night

    The sign says “The most important collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe.” That both says it all, and is merely a beginning — a portal to new worlds, new ideas and new creativity. The Centre Georges Pompidou is my favourite place in the city of Paris.

  • Alternating Air

    Air conditioning units alternate up the side of this building along the High Line Park. Reflected in the bottom window are the windows of the building from a few days ago, at 10th Ave and 25th St.

  • Wavy Facade

    A building evoking architect Frank Gehry and his curved cladding, on West 23rd Street along the High Line Park. Update: This building is architect Neil Denari’s first multistory project in the United States. Frank Gehry’s new building is just to the south of this.

    A busy street’s facade on an afternoon in SoHo.

    A wall reminiscent of 8-bit graphics, in the Sheppard-Younge station.

    Taken in 2011, this building was going up in the Queen Street east area of Toronto.
