It got featured in The Photographer in Action Group on 10.7.09 The marble dome that surmounts the tomb is the most spectacular feature. Its height of around 35 meters is about the same as the length of the base, and is accentuated as it sits on a cylindrical “drum” of about 7 metres high. Because of its shape, the dome is often called an onion dome or amrud (guava dome). The top is decorated with a lotus design, which also serves to accentuate its height. The shape of the dome is emphasised by four smaller domed chattris (kiosks) placed at its corners, which replicate the onion shape of the main dome. Their columned bases open through the roof of the tomb and provide light to the interior. Tall decorative spires (guldastas) extend from edges of base walls, and provide visual emphasis to the height of the dome. The lotus motif is repeated on both the chattris and guldastas. The dome and chattris are topped by a gilded finial, which mixes traditional Persian and Hindu decorative elements. Camera: Nikon D70S

This piece is relating to how I am a virtual architect. The lattice spheres represent the inner child trying to escape and the golden globes symbolize the delicate balance between light (Happiness) and heaviness (Burdens). Throughout life we are always challenged especially in the facets of emotions and we strive for some perfection in an area of our life. The sky is brooding, it abounds with beauty but easily could turn into a storm like our emotions. The ground is solid but with imperfections. The outer sphere coveting the lattice sphere is symbolic of protecting ones own heart. The absence of forms in the golden sphere represents loss as we all suffer loss in friends, family, pets, and even faith. The spheres blended into the ground bare the relationship to being grounded and not losing touch with reality, but as you can see sometimes if we do its only for a brief moment. The shadows, simple…sometimes we hide behind ourselves in fear of rejection or exceptance with others. We all have the right to be individuals, but we choose to live as we want, and we should love who we become in the end. My art is my escape, a way to handle emotions, loss, share happiness, vent anger, seek intimacy, etc. If you take the time to notice what I title my pieces by, you can see many aspects of me and who i am, whats going on in my life at the moment. Art is an expression of emotions and sometimes we have to be our own Virtual Architect in life.©2007 / . / . / .Lisa C.

The Taj Mahal incorporates and expands on design traditions of Persian architecture and earlier Mughal architecture. Specific inspiration came from successful Timurid and Mughal buildings including; the Gur-e Amir (the tomb of Timur, progenitor of the Mughal dynasty, in Samarkand). Humayun’s Tomb, Itmad-Ud-Daulah’s Tomb (sometimes called the Baby Taj), and Shah Jahan’s own Jama Masjid in Delhi. While earlier Mughal buildings were primarily constructed of red sandstone, Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones, and buildings under his patronage reached new levels of refinement.

The central focus of the complex is the tomb. This large, white marble structure stands on a square plinth and consists of a symmetrical building with an iwan (an arch-shaped doorway) topped by a large dome and finial. Like most Mughal tombs, basic elements are Persian in origin. / The base of the Taj is a large, multi-chambered structure / The base structure is essentially a large, multi-chambered cube with chamfered corners, forming an unequal octagon that is approximately 55 meters on each of the four long sides. On each of these sides, a massive pishtaq, or vaulted archway, frames the iwan with two similarly shaped, arched balconies stacked on either side. This motif of stacked pishtaqs is replicated on the chamfered corner areas, making the design completely symmetrical on all sides of the building. Four minarets frame the tomb, one at each corner of the plinth facing the chamfered corners. The main chamber houses the false sarcophagi of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan; the actual graves are at a lower level.

This was taken inside the Westfield Shopping Centre in London 18/03/2009. I have always been into photography but didn’t get real serious about it until I went to the largest urban area indoor shopping centre in Europe. / I fell in love with the architect, and even the security guard stoped me twice, I took many photos. :0))) / I have learned a lot about composition, lighting and the multitude of other aspects to creat better photos. However, I suspect I will forever be on a learning curve. / It’s a pleasure to share my viewpoint of architect as seen thruogh the lens of my camera.

Featured in “Architecture and Cityscapes Photography” / April 2009 / Featured in “Contemporary Architecture” / May 2009 The dramatic new wing of Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, is dubbed the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. The 175,000 square foot aluminum and glass clad building houses seven collection galleries on two levels, two special exhibition spaces, new retail and dining facilities and a new main entrance and lobby. Libeskind’s ‘Crystal” is comprised of five interlocking, self-supporting prismatic structures that interface with the historic buildings that embrace it. With hardly a right angle anywhere, its sloping walls create unique interior spaces with soaring volumes and such distinctive details as the “Spirit House”, a void at the heart of the building that is traversed by criss-crossing bridges. Slashing windows fill the rooms with natural light and create uniquely framed views of the cityscapes outside. The Crystal faces the city’s premier shopping street and, in a contextual gesture that’s unusual for the architect, forges a connection between this thoroughfare and the original, more austere Beaux-Arts museum. “We were looking to create a lot of transparency and engagement with the city,” explains museum director William Thorsell. “Museums are typically built like fortresses, and we wanted a new, more urban presence.” Nikon D40X with 18-135 mm lens.

Sydney Opera House Lights Dimmed As A Tribute To Architect Joern Utzon
by David IoriUS$4.99–US$114.00
David Iori Photography Website / Email Me / . / © Copyright 2008 David Iori Photography, All Rights Reserved Nikon D200 Joern Utzon architect of the Sydney Opera Housen dead at 90, as a tribute last night Sunday Evening 30-11-2008 the lights of the Sydney Opera House were dimmed. Joern Utzon, who created the first designs for Sydney’s Opera House in 1957, has never returned to Australia after leaving Sydney in 1966, nearly seven years before his internationally acclaimed building was finished. Utzon received the prestigious Pritzker prize for architecture in 2003 with the jury singling out the Opera House as one of the most iconic buildings of the 20th century, arguing it “proves that the marvellous and seemingly impossible in architecture can be achieved”. A member of the pantheon of the 20th century’s architectural greats, Utzon was haunted – but insisted he was not embittered – by the disastrous end of his relationship with Sydney and what has become the city’s iconic harbourside symbol. He left the project after a battle over design and cost led to the appointment of Government architects to take over the project and finish its interiors with no bearing to his original designs. And despite its enormous beauty and almost mythical shape, the Opera House remains mired in argument about poor acoustics and lack of space in its most important theatres. Utzon, who declined invitations to return to Australia but who collaborated from afar on the most recent plans to alleviate space and acoustics problems, has suffered long term eye problems which left him near to blindness. He has always denied being embittered by the end of his association with his most famous building. Only two weeks ago it was reported the $700-million Sydney Opera House refurbishment, which is meant to improve acoustics and capacity, created a schism within the Utzon family. The son and grandson of the Opera House architect, Jan and Jeppe, had clashed over the renovation plans, which Jeppe said risks “messing up” his grandfather’s designs. “It’s getting messed up [by other architects],” Jeppe Utzon told architectural webzine Building Design. “It will be hard to distinguish who did what – it’s a patchwork of ideas… It is dangerous for [my father and grandfather], not so much for their reputations but for the purity [of the architecture]. It’s strange they said yes to it.” But according to Building Design Jan said his son was not well informed enough to comment. “He is not involved in our projects for the Opera House and cannot possibly have any idea of how we work or what our aims are or even what we are doing,” he said. “He has chosen not to be involved with the Opera House but wants to pursue his own career, which is perfectly understandable for a young and relatively inexperienced architect. Born in Copenhagen in 1918, Utzon graduated from the capital’s academy of arts in 1942, working in several major Danish architectural offices and later with Alvar Aalto in Finland. He established his own practrice in Copenhagen in 1950. Utzon’s earliest buildings were private homes. His winning the design competition for the Opera House in 1956 was a surprise to many, including colleagues. Utzon also designed the national assembly building in Kuwait City which was built between 1971 and 1983 and resembles a series of caravan of large tents, evoking the traditional meeting places of the Bedouin nomads. Utzon lived in Mallorca, off Spain’s eastern coast, with his wife Lis Utzon, for many years and his children, Kim and Jan, worked in partnership on several projects including a church that opened in 1976 in Bagsvaerd, a Copenhagen suburb and more recently consulting on the Opera House refurbishments.a Utzon was awarded the Order of Australia in 1985 and the Sonning prize for contributing to European culture in 1988. He is survived by his wife and their three children, Kim, Jan and Lin, and several grandchildren.
