Bruges City Hall and Burg Square Architecture

Bruges City Hall and Burg Square Architecture

September 2017 — Bruges City Hall (Stadhuis van Brugge), completed in 1421, is one of the oldest and most ornate Gothic town halls in the Low Countries. Located on Burg Square in the heart of Bruges, Belgium, the structure features a richly detailed facade with vertical pinnacles, traceried windows, and over fifty sculpted figures representing biblical and historical figures important to the city’s heritage. The red dormer windows punctuating the steep slate roof are typical of Flemish civic architecture from the period. To the left, the adjoining Renaissance-style Oude Civiele Griffie (Old Civil Registry), built in 1537, complements the Gothic hall with gilded stonework and classical ornamentation. Together, the buildings form a symbolic center of Bruges’ civic identity and remain a key stop for visitors exploring this UNESCO World Heritage city.

The Lawn at Paddington Station Under the Iron and Glass Roof

The Lawn at Paddington Station Under the Iron and Glass Roof

April 2019 — The Lawn at Paddington Station serves as the heart of the concourse, framed by the vast iron and glass canopy that defines Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s 19th-century design. Originally constructed in the 1850s, the station’s signature arched roof spans over the main platforms and the modernized public area below, now filled with cafés, travelers, and commuters. The space was reimagined in the early 2000s as part of a major restoration effort that preserved the Victorian ironwork while adding new steel and glass elements for natural light and openness. Beneath this intricate structure, passengers gather in a place where industrial heritage meets contemporary travel design.

Lakewood Cemetery Garden Mausoleum, Minneapolis

Lakewood Cemetery Garden Mausoleum, Minneapolis

October 2019 — 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.

ArcelorMittal Steel Mill Headquarters, Cleveland

ArcelorMittal Steel Mill Headquarters, Cleveland

October 2019 — 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.

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.

April 2024 — 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.

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.
