The Rainbow Building in Uptown Minneapolis with a flock of birds.

A copper gargoyle juts from the ornate brick tower of Harvard’s Memorial Hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts—a striking detail of the Gothic Revival architecture completed in the late 19th century. Designed by Ware & Van Brunt, the hall commemorates Harvard alumni who fought for the Union in the Civil War. The gargoyle’s oxidized green patina and sharp geometric form contrast against the red brick and open sky, blending medieval-inspired craftsmanship with the American collegiate Gothic style that defines much of Harvard’s architectural legacy.

The intricate brick and slate facade of Harvard University’s Memorial Hall rises sharply against a crisp blue sky in this detailed architectural study. Completed in 1878, the building embodies the High Victorian Gothic style with its polychromatic slate roof, pointed arches, and elaborate terracotta trim. The Latin inscription and rose window dominate the composition, framed by twin spires and ornamental ironwork. Memorial Hall was built to honor Harvard alumni who fought for the Union during the Civil War, and today houses Sanders Theatre and Annenberg Hall—standing as one of Cambridge’s most iconic architectural landmarks.

Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and completed in 1880, Sever Hall stands as one of the most distinguished examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture on the Harvard campus. Built from over 1.3 million red bricks with intricate recessed patterns and rounded turrets, the building’s symmetrical form and arched entrance exemplify Richardson’s mastery of proportion and texture. Located in Harvard Yard, Sever Hall has long served as a classroom building for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Its distinctive masonry and quietly monumental design earned it recognition as one of the architect’s finest works and a National Historic Landmark.

Along Massachusetts Avenue in Boston’s South End, these adjoining brownstones showcase the neighborhood’s signature Victorian-era architecture—ornate bay windows, intricate cornices, and rich brickwork that reflect the city’s 19th-century building boom. The red and tan façades, accented with distinctive green trim, represent the area’s architectural diversity, where Italianate and Renaissance Revival influences meet. Once part of a working-class district and now one of Boston’s most carefully preserved historic neighborhoods, the South End’s rowhouses remain a defining feature of the city’s urban identity and charm.

A perfectly symmetrical row of urinals inside a modern public restroom in Japan, where minimalist design meets meticulous cleanliness. The glossy white fixtures and pale reflective flooring emphasize balance and precision, creating an unexpectedly architectural sense of order in a utilitarian space. The visual rhythm of repetition — identical forms mirrored across the corridor — captures Japan’s cultural devotion to hygiene, geometry, and quiet functionality in even the most mundane public settings.

The ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor steel mill in East Chicago, Indiana, is one of the largest integrated steelmaking facilities in the United States. The complex traces its origins to the Inland Steel Company, founded in 1893, and its massive brick headquarters—seen here—was built in the early 20th century to symbolize industrial power along Lake Michigan. Today, the plant remains a cornerstone of American steel production, encompassing multiple blast furnaces, coke batteries, and finishing lines. Now operated by Cleveland-Cliffs following its 2020 acquisition of ArcelorMittal USA, Indiana Harbor continues more than a century of continuous steelmaking on Chicago’s industrial lakeshore.

The Lakewood Cemetery Garden Mausoleum, completed in 2012 and designed by Joan Soranno and John Cook of HGA Architects, represents a modern counterpart to Lakewood’s historic chapel. Built into the natural slope of the cemetery grounds, the structure uses gray granite and white mosaic marble to evoke quiet reflection and permanence. Its minimalist form and interplay of light were conceived to harmonize with the surrounding landscape of Lake Calhoun (Bde Maka Ska). The mausoleum extends Lakewood’s 150-year tradition of blending architecture, art, and remembrance within a park-like setting in south Minneapolis.
