St Paul's Cathedral, London, (1675-1710) is not only one of the most perfect expressions of the English Baroque, but also one of the greatest buildings anywhere in England. It was designed by Wren to replace the old cathedral which had been devastated during the Fire of London in 1666. Stairs and elevators were placed on the western side of the building, [226] and there were restrooms on each story next to the stairs and elevators. [230] When the building was constructed, it had seven elevators and over a hundred other motorized appliances, including printing presses, pumps, and fans. [231] [232] Of these, five elevators were for passengers and two were for freight. [233] Two of the building's elevators (one passenger and one freight) ran from the basement to the top story, while the other elevators only ran to the 16th story. [234] Although all the passenger elevators could travel at 500 feet per minute (150m/min), one of these elevators could also be used to transport heavy equipment and could be slowed down to 25 feet per minute (7.6m/min), thereby doubling its carrying capacity. [233] The elevator cabs were originally copper cages with mirrors on each wall. [235] The Onkalo Nuclear Fuel Repository in Finland is one building that we definitely hope will stand the test of time. This is because the Repository is the chosen location for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel, and is hoped to survive for at least 100,000 years.As the century wore on, this resolved itself into a passion for the Baroque grandeur which Louis XIV had turned into an instrument of statecraft at Versailles. Formal, geometrical and symmetrical planning meant that a great lord could sit in his dining chamber, at the physical as well as the metaphorical centre of his world, with suites of rooms radiating out in straight lines to either side. His gardens would reflect those lines in long, straight walks and avenues. a b Sagalyn, Lynne B. (2003). Times Square Roulette: Remaking the City Icon. MIT Press. p.323. ISBN 9780262692953.

Building Time is a graceful, timely, and purposeful walk through a garden of architectural knowledge, offering an account-in all, a theory-not just of human spatial experience through time (first we go here, then we go there...), but of the world experiencing itself through the medium of buildings, especially buildings which, in having long-term ethical projects as well as complexities of their own, are works of architecture. With Proustian intimacy and often dizzying insight, Leatherbarrow enlarges the very language we use to understand architecture. Buildings are indifferent only apparently. In marking time, in accommodating the fleeting, in witnessing and in suffering, they bring up the future. * Michael Benedikt, The University of Texas at Austin, USA * And, even with modern buildings that use different materials like steel or glass, developments in construction technology have meant that buildings can be made more resilient than ever. a b Randall, Gabrielan (2000).

Time Warner announced in mid-2001 that it would close the Warner Bros. store that October due to a decline in business. [162] [163] Time Warner continued to pay rent for the vacant retail space. [164] In 2002, plans were announced for a 7-Eleven convenience store, the Times Square Brewery, and Two Boots Pizza in One Times Square. [165] However, the planned 7-Eleven store was ultimately canceled. [166] Jamestown then repaired 450 panels on the building's facade in the mid-2000s. During this project, one of the facade's panels fell to the ground in 2004, injuring two pedestrians.

It was hailed as one of the most magnificent examples of civic planning in Britain but, in retrospect, its deeply conservative architecture also seems both arrogant and strangely out of touch with contemporary building in the rest of Europe.

What: Founded in 1937 to showcase early modernist avant-garde art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as ‘The Guggenheim’, is one of the most popular museums in New York City. This iconic piece of International Style architecture was American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright’s last major work and is revered internationally as his greatest masterpiece. Wright’s ingenious concept envisioned a continuous ramped gallery, allowing visitors to take an elevator to the top level and then descend leisurely amidst Guggenheim’s collection of nonobjective geometric paintings. While initially polarizing critics, The Guggenheim went on to revolutionize the design of galleries and museums, both in architectural form and in the way exhibitions would be experienced.

Sony's Jumbotron operated until 1996. Alongside its use for advertising and news, it was also frequently used by the producers of the late-night talk show Late Show with David Letterman, who could display a live feed from its studio on the screen as well. As a cost-saving measure, Sony declined to renew its lease of the space, leading to the subsequent removal of the Jumbotron in June 1996. Due to its frequent use by Late Show, its producer Rob Burnett jokingly considered the removal of the Jumbotron to be "a sad, sad day for New York." [148] The last office tenants moved out of the building in 1996, [139] and the first electronic billboards were installed the same year. [149] In October 1996, Warner Bros. agreed to lease the building and operate a retail store at the base. [150] [151] [152] The complex would include a four-story restaurant on the roof. [150] Warner Bros. hired Frank O. Gehry to design the store, and Gehry released his plans in early 1997. The proposal called for gutting the lowest eight stories and replacing the facade with a translucent wire mesh.
