<br />
Together with the Cathedral and Baptistery they form a cathedral complex which was was funded in XI-th century. This arrangement of group of sacral buildings was very typical for the Romanesque architecture of Italy, but only here the ingenious design and artistry of the workmanship achieved a great lightness and delicacy of early medieval structures - despite the fact some of them crooked.<br />

The square is surrounded by also medieval wall.<br />

Wide span of a D- shaped building was difficult to cover with a standard type of roof with timber rafters so the architect used for the first time the construction simillar to this of a timber truss today.<br />

It is comonly known fact that designing the theatre Wren was inspired by the U-shaped Theatre of Marcellus in Rome and widely used neo-renaissance ( English Palladian style ) and genrally classical style subsequently influenced the architecture of other Oxford buildings.<br />

<br />
The train station in Lille is a part of a bigger masterplan called EuraLille by Rem Koolhas together with his OMA and AREP practices.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="02 GARE DE LILLE EUROPE architectureofeurope b" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/lc43w84cj/02_GARE_DE_LILLE_EUROPE_architectureofeurope_b.jpg" /></a></div>
The station designed in 1994 and built by Agence des Gares ( SNCF) is directed to the city centre and was intended to serve many functions: through station for TGV and Eurostar international travelers, the bridge, the tunel , offices and many retail units.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="03 GARE DE LILLE EUROPE architectureofeurope b" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/64o4bvchv/03_GARE_DE_LILLE_EUROPE_architectureofeurope_b.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The building itself is a long three - level viewing terrace with glazed curtain envelope and covered with wavy metal structure roof- called the flying carpet.The key idea was to keep arrivals of train as transparent as possible in order to make it memmorable event. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The adjoining complex of office buildings and business centre with very characteristic shoe like building was designed by Rem Koolhas himself.

<br />
Extraordinary structure with a great history and original character thanks to its vertical front tower that makes building even more unusual in this type of churches.<br />

<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="00 LILLE THE CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME DE TREILL" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/406f7yfib/00_LILLE_THE_CATHEDRAL_OF_NOTRE_DAME_DE_TREILL.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The cathedral's construction begun in 1854 but the building works were finished as late as in 1999 .<br />
<br />
<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="01 LILLE THE CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME DE TREILL" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/bhfmn651f/01_LILLE_THE_CATHEDRAL_OF_NOTRE_DAME_DE_TREILL.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The building was built in a gothic - revival / neo - gothic style and is a very controversial structure as its design evolved from mentioned earlier neo - gothic to a contemporary look .
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="02 LILLE THE CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME DE TREILL" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/fruaira4j/02_LILLE_THE_CATHEDRAL_OF_NOTRE_DAME_DE_TREILL.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The front elevation designed by architect Pierre Louis Carlier is nothing like the side elevations, rear and the plan of the temple.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="03 LILLE THE CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME DE TREILL" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/ucbddl537/03_LILLE_THE_CATHEDRAL_OF_NOTRE_DAME_DE_TREILL.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
It has an enormous size pointed - neo- gothic arch - of unnatural scale made of a waterproof fabric streched over a steel structure looking like a scaffolding.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://postimage.org/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="03 LILLE THE CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME DE TREILL" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/ucbddl537/03_LILLE_THE_CATHEDRAL_OF_NOTRE_DAME_DE_TREILL.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The side of the front elevation is cladded with a grey stone - to put it very politely; it is not the best design to my and others opinion.Probably, the only thing worth of seing there are the side and rear elevation in a neo gothic style, the arrangement of interiors and a fantastic play of light going throgh stained glass windows and half opaque front elevation feature.<br />
Any comments are warm welcomed.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://postimage.org/"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/rpdhdokcj/01_LILLE_PAROISSE_DU_SACRE_COEUR_architectur.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Roman Catholic church of Sacred heart in Lille is located at the junction of Rue de Solferino and Rue Nationale .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><a href="http://postimage.org/"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/vn0r3375v/02_LILLE_PAROISSE_DU_SACRE_COEUR_architectur.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It was built in Neo - Gothic style in 1875 and 1898 by Jules Batigny .As most Gotic and Neo -Ghotic churches it on a cross plan with shallow transept - nave , long presbytery, and small additional chapels to each side of it .It has a barrel vaults with ribs,beautiful stained glass windows with stone surrounds, tracery and subdividing moulions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><a href="http://postimage.org/"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/btonadts3/03_LILLE_PAROISSE_DU_SACRE_COEUR_architectur.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The churche's main entrance is subdivided to two openings by reach stne reliefs and create a typical gothic protico.The internal nave is pretty tall and perfectly reflects the original gothic style.</span><br />

A parish church of St. Simon and St. Jude Thaddeus in Pogwizdow , Lesser Poland.<br />

<br />
Built on the turn of XV and XVI century in a baroque style church has a wood log construction and is cladded with vertical timber.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank"><img alt="02 Pogwizdow wood log church in poland archit" border="0" src="http://s19.postimage.org/573tmp7ur/02_Pogwizdow_wood_log_church_in_poland_archit.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
That is a shame that they cladded it, as the wood log construction is much more attractive than just a usual cladding. It used to be covered with wood shingles but now the roof is lined with metal sheeting, which has again less charm than the original.<br />

<br />
It has a single nave with a prezbytery ended polygonaly.Interior has a flat panelled ceiling and three original baroque oltars form 2-nd half of XVII and XVIII century.<br />

<br />
I am presenting it only because I would like to highlight that this is what the contemporary regional architecture of Lipnica should draw from.Such a usuall house but with so nice proportions and fits in rather good within the surrounding buildings of
town.<br />

<br />Later some further additions were designed to create a lower yard for administration and in eightinth century as Georgian streetscape of Dublin was being developed, the upper yard of castle was also developed by Sir Edward Lovett Pearce using the basic design inherited from Sit William Robinson, then the erection of State Apartments followed - which can be seen from the rear side, painted in bright colours, reminding the lego blocks.</div>
