Sopot, September 2018

“Designed by Louis von Tiedemann of Potsdam between 1899 and 1901 under the patronage of Empress Augusta Victoria (who chipped in 1,000 marks of her own money towards its construction), the Neo-Gothic Garrison Church of St. George stands on the site of Sopot's former market square. Originally Evangelist, the church has been Roman Catholic since Sopot's re-incorporation into Poland in 1945. The minimalist whitewashed interior comprises three unremarkable stone and brick naves, some charming modern stained glass and a wooden relief of the Virgin Mary by Zofia Kamilska-Trzcińska, which used to be on board the SS Batory as a token of luck during the war. A Neo-Gothic chapel complete with ceramic roof stands in the square outside. Once a well, the chapel now shelters a rather forlorn-looking statue of St. Adalbert.” (Garrison Church of St. George, In Your Pocket)

“The Font del Carme was the only one created during one of Spain's most unstable periods — a period leading to critical political events such as the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship. This fountain is attached to the Milà i Fontanals School and is similar to other neo-gothic fountains. Three mascarons are placed in the middle, which originally had water pouring out of their mouths. Other decorations can be found on the top and sides of this stone fountain.” (The Historic Fountains of Barcelona)

Kraków Główny railway station
ulica Stanisława Worcella
Kraków, September 2018

“Kraków Główny, in English Kraków Main, is the largest and the most centrally located railway station in Kraków, Poland. The railway station was situated in a historical building, constructed between 1844 and 1847 by Rosenbaum, which lies parallel to the tracks. The design was chosen to allow for future line expansion. The station was initially a terminus of the Kraków – Upper Silesia Railway (Kolej Krakowsko-Górnośląska, German: Oberschlesische-Krakauer Eisenbahn). Trains entered the trainshed via a brick archway at the northern end of the station which was almost doubled in size in 1871. In 2014, a new building was opened. The station opened on 13 October 1847, with the first train leaving for Mysłowice (the point where the Austrian, German and Russian Empires adjoined during military partitions of Poland). The railway line was extended eastwards in 1856, when the first section to Dębica (then Dembitz in the Habsburg Empire) was built by the Galician Railway of Archduke Charles Louis connecting Kraków with Lwów (then Lemberg) in Galicia. The increasing traffic resulted in the station's modernization and enlargement in several stages between 1869 and 1894. The next substantial expansion took place in the 1930s in the reborn Polish Republic. At that time the northern brick wall and trainshed were demolished, the latter replaced by individual platform roofs.” (Kraków Główny railway station, Wikipedia)

“The One and Two New Ludgate development is next to England’s most famous court, the Old Bailey. The two buildings provide 35,210sqm of commercial office, retail and restaurant space. In 2013, Land Securities appointed Skanska as the main contractor to design and construct New Ludgate, including the mechanical and electrical fit-out of selected floors and the creation of a public space. Two different construction methods were used for each of the 10-storey structures, which were both completed ahead of schedule. One New Ludgate is a steel-framed building, with Two New Ludgate using a concrete frame. Skanska project director, John Birch, said: ‘The main challenges were constructing two completely different buildings to a very short programme, with one delivery entrance, in a busy London site opposite the Old Bailey.’” (One and Two New Ludgate, Skanska)

Britzka (horse-drawn carriage)
plac Zamkowy
Warsaw, September 2018

“A britzka (also spelled brichka or britska) is a type of horse-drawn carriage. It was a long, spacious carriage with four wheels, as well as a folding top over the rear seat and a rear-facing front seat. Pulled by two horses, it had a place in the front for a driver. It was constructed as to give space for reclining at night when used on a journey. Its size made it suitable for use as a 19th-century equivalent to a motorhome, as it could be adapted with all manner of conveniences (beds, dressing tables etc.) for the traveler. The great railway engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel used a britzka, the ‘Flying Coffin’, as his traveling office whilst surveying the route of the Great Western Railway. He carried with him a drawing board, outline plans, engineering instruments, fifty of his favorite Lopez cigars and a pull-out bed. The term is a variant of the Polish term bryczka, a ‘little cart’, from bryka, ‘cart’, possibly coming into English via several ways, including German britschka and Russian brichka."

Angel with the Superscription by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1669
Sant'Andrea delle Fratte (Saint Andrew of the Thickets)
Via di Sant'Andrea delle Fratte
Rome, May 2019

“Angel with the Superscription is a statue by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Originally commissioned by Pope Clement IX for the Ponte Sant'Angelo project, the statue was replaced with a copy and the original was moved to Sant'Andrea delle Fratte in Rome, Italy. The statue was started in 1667 and completed in 1669. It might seem that in this late work Bernini is not inspired by ancient works, instead the body (not the drapery) derives from Belvedere Antinoo (now Ermes): a figure studied by many other artists such as Algardi, Duquesnoy and Poussin. Bernini will say the students of the Academy of France in Paris that he was inspired many times by this statue, from his youth, considering it an ‘oracle’.” (Angel with the Superscription, Wikipedia)
