    Wow! Yes, I must have shared Niemeyer buildings before, but I didn`t know or didn´t remember this one.

    Caught my eye: Stained glass (simple but elegant); Geometric design which is prevalent in "Arabic" design; and a chamber with internal decorative buttresses

    Loved specially what looks like a train compartment. Oh, and it all started, because he wanted to escape the noise of his mother´s parties

    Thanks for the additional links on Carcassone.

    Xerxes tomb is stunning with all it´s engravings. I´m glad they are restoring it.

    A very different building: Yokohama City University (not sure whether I like it,but it is certainly a different concept).

    Yes. All these ancient buildings must have been built by slaves. I am fascinated by the story of Pompeii.
