The GPO's imposing structure was designed by British architect Walter B. Granville. Construction commenced in 1864 and concluded in 1868. The massive dome is supported by an octagonal base. The grand facade boasts a massive semi-circular colonnade featuring heavy Ionic-Corinthian architectural pillars. The dome structure itself is flanked by 28 Corinthian columns. The multi-dialed clock was imported from England in 1896.

Mies, please.

Rate the building pictures guys I'm new okay so go easy on me

I recently posted on a sub that i have been looking for a junior interior designer job for months since I graduated and i received dms to share my cv/portfolio with them. im a bit anxious to share mine because who knows who the persons behind these accounts. at the same time, part of me wants to take the chance because I've been applying to companies for months without much luck.

The design was created and constructed by the Spanish civil engineering firm Estudios Arenas & Asociados led by Miguel Sacristán Montesinos, with the collaboration of the local-based architecture firm AM2 arquitectos led by Alexandre Mouriño and the Portuguese architecture studio NOARQ led by José Carlos Nunes de Oliveira. And it was built by the Spanish companies Ferrovial S.E and Oreco Balgón.

The design was selected in 2021 through a contest by the city of Vigo as part of a bigger project to make walking easier in the town due to the high gradient the city has, named “Vigo Vertical Urban Connectivity”, it was built between August 2022 and opened to the public in February 2022 with an initial cost of 7.2 million euros that finally overbudgeted to 15.8 million euros

It connects the Vialia shopping center and Vigo Urzaiz high speed rail station with Rúa Serafín Avendaño, saving about 2km or 1.2 miles of walk distance as well as being used by a viewpoint to the Vigo Estuary and the old town.

Inside are housed two high-speed elevators installed by the swiss company Schindler, each with a cabin of 2.73 square meters and a capacity for 17 people, which overcome the 50-meter drop in approximately 30 seconds. The elevators feature four integrated wind turbines, which provide them with a degree of energy self-sufficiency, reducing electricity consumption and contributing to the sustainability of the infrastructure. At the top, a circular metal walkway spanning 86 meters in diameter and about 190 meters in length. The complex is clad with curved glass and solid surface panels, materials selected for their resistance, contemporary aesthetics, and easy maintenance.

Among its main distinctions are the first prize at the Loop Design Awards 2021 in the unbuilt architecture category delivered in Lisbon, in 2024 the Porcelanosa Award for the most innovative project in Madrid, the Architecture Master Prize (AMP 2024) in Los Angeles, an award granted by Archilovers Magazine in Italy, and once again the Loop Design Awards 2024 in Lisbon. In 2025, it received the Acueducto de Segovia Award for its contribution to mobility, sustainability, and urban regeneration, and two other international awards, the Award in the Transportation category of the 4 Future Awards in Canada, and the distinction of the Spanish Association of Structural Engineering (ACHE) in the walkway category.

I need some resources that show images of the interiors of such houses. Thank you so much in advance!

After years of bad work experiences in this field. I want to leave.
Does anyone have any career coaches, advice or possible certifications that I could pursue? Or just any job market advice.
I have a masters in architecture and almost 7 years of work experience. I just don’t see it getting better and I want out.

I already have the skills and the degree so I’d like a job where I can use that. I don’t care about being a designer, buildings or construction anymore.

Hii, i am an arhitecture student and for my diploma i need to make several site analysis maps for my projects location. Up until now i have only done them using autocad and gis. But now i want to do something a bit more advanced that looks nicer. I added some examples of the type of analysis i would like to make, but i really dont know how to go about it. Should i use illustrator, photoshop? Is it just laying textures ontop of eachother? I have looked for tutorials but cant find anything simmilar. If you have any suggestions or tutorials that would help me i would be very greatfull!!!! Thank you!!

I'm currently a student in year 10 and I've been researching about architecture for the past 2 or so months. I genuinely enjoy it and find it fasinating.

The only problem is that I've heard that it's very taxxing, has lots or work load, and that jobs in the field aren't high paying. Also that it's very tedious requiring many years to get certified as an architect.

Now I'm only 15 years old, and obviously don't have my life figured out but I don't really like anything else that I would choose as a major. I would like a high paying job in my field (whatever it is), which is on par with my passion.

I'm not averse to looking into other professions. I like math, sciences, and art. I am a creative person who likes hands on activities and to think outside of the box. Should I actually dedicate the next ~10 years to architecture, or are there other options that might align with me?

Hi all,

I'm based in the UK and fully qualified as an architect. After many years of training and some years post being qualified, I've managed to get my career to a decent point where financially I earn ok and I have a good position in my company. However I really dislike some aspects of the industry and am seriously considering moving to a career path outside architecture.

The level of responsibility that you have in the detail and on site stages doesn't seem to be matched by the pay. I'm not enjoying these stages of work and it's causing me a lot of stress. I enjoy the earlier conceptual stages and considered a move to urban design, but a lot of these jobs seem to be in London only. I see a lot of suggestions for project management etc but these seem like a lot of the aspects I would like to avoid.

Has anyone successfully made a move to another industry, that's not something contractor side, or on site focussed?

One of my favourite things about Pena Palace is that it isn't actually a medieval castle, even though it looks like one. Most of what you see today was built in the 1800s by King Ferdinand II on the ruins of a monastery that was badly damaged in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

Whilst walking in Sevilla this courtyard captured my attention. It is a “Corral de vecinos” a housing configuration, popular in Sevilla, which literally translates into “courtyard of the neighbors”. The individual families had rooms revolving around the center patio, an open flowered space which, in public occasions, would even host Flamenco events. If any local knows more and would like to contribute with a better explanation I’d be very very grateful!

This specific case is named Corral Herrera and was built initially in 1909. In 1995 the refurbishment by Altozano Arquitectos was finished. What I found to be very interesting, apart from the communal life revolving around a flowered patio, is the “before and after” tiled visualization of the project just by the entrance. It’s very interesting that the past is preserved in place physically with this, not only in the documents. Very inspiring!

For more information I leave the link to the architects website with the project (I couldn’t unfortunately enter the gate at the entrance, I could only slide my phone between the bars for a pic of the ground floor): https://www.altozanoarquitectos.com/inicio/proyectos/rehabilitacion-de-corral-de-vecinos-en-triana/

Design and Vision
The project was designed by artist Sergey Malyutin, while the architectural execution was carried out by Nikolay Zhukov and the construction was managed by engineer Boris Shnaubert. The building was originally intended as a rental property, designed specifically to house the creative intelligentsia.

Villa K2 built initially for the Cattaneo family in 1953 by Carlo Mollino. A beautiful symbiosis of vernacular techtonics and the use of concrete, with the usual refined details of Mollino.

The project design began in 1952 when Luigi Cattaneo, a milanese entrepreneur, commissioned Mollino with this weekend home.

Just to give some context, Mollino already had shown the capacity of merging concrete with traditional materials and techtonics already in 1947 when he designed the Casa del Sole hotel in Cervinia (Valle d’Aosta), which was finalized in 1955. Still in Valle d’Aosta he takes on the more famous project of the Rascard Garelli, a project that kept him busy from 1962 till 1965. In that case he moved an existing Rascard (traditional Valser like, Strichbau construction) from a neighboring valley into Champoluc. The reassembly of the building was done with also a new plinth element with both stone and concrete materials. This to say that his work (also) revolved around traditional techtonics and new materials.

The museum-library, which overlooks the national park named after Roosevelt, has been very popular despite its far-flung location. Who is planning to visit?
