[Walker & Gillette]
was built in 1928-1929 as an office tower for the Fuller Construction Co., the leading construction firm during the Depression years, which previously occupied the Flatiron Building. It is 40 storeys high.

The Canadian Museum of Civilization
The Canadian Museum of Civilization presents over 10,000 years of Canada's pre-history, history and culture. The Museum building is an architectural masterpiece -- a symbolic depiction of a land sculpted by winds, waters and glaciers at the end of the Ice Age, when humans first crossed into Canada from Asia.

Interesting buildings, dear Inda! The Fuller building seems so slim, that it looks fragile!
We have a great living Italian architect in Renzo PIANO ... see the new Music Park in Rome ...
The project
The Music Park was inaugurated in 2002.
Love, Margherita
It's the biggest Auditorium of the world ...

Thank you all for posting so many beautiful images while I was away.
Your additions to this post are wonderful Margherita.
The Sibelius Monument in Finland is very unusual. It should probably be under sculpture, but I will sneak it in here since we don't have very much from Finland

Russian Wooden Houses
At the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century, Arkhangelsk was a flourishing city, because of the timber-industry. More and more houses were built and the city became the world's largest ensemble of wooden architecture.
