Built circa 1889, this building in Downtown Minneapolis on 11th Avenue used to operate as a brothel per historical records.

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.

The Shard rises 310 meters above London Bridge, serving as one of Europe’s most recognizable high-rises. Completed in 2012 and designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, the building features an 11,000-pane glass façade engineered to reflect the city’s changing sky. The structure houses offices, restaurants, the Shangri-La Hotel, and an observation deck that offers views across Greater London. Its sharp, tapering design symbolizes the modern transformation of London’s skyline along the River Thames.

Hennepin County Government Center, construction was completed in 1977.

While often looked at as a single building, it’s actually 2 different towers with glass in between them. When viewed from the northeast or southeast(such as this photo), the building gives the appearance of the letter H for Hennepin. The towers are accessible from each other via catwalks on each floor. Glass walls were added after multiple suicides.

A busy street scene in Mexico City’s historic center, viewed from the steps of the Metropolitan Cathedral. Pedestrians fill the avenue leading eastward, lined with colonial-era buildings. In the background, the domes and towers of additional churches rise above the rooftops, marking the dense architectural landscape of the city’s downtown.

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.
