What a great opportunity! The INTBAU in Merida and Izamal, Yucatan!! intbaumexico.com/summer-school
The Trevi Fountain is so much bigger in person than any picture has ever conveyed
Probably the most coolest stairs I’ve seen during the last couple of weeks. Lausanne’s Cathedral (…Violet-le-Duc was here…) ( @DarrenMcLean_uk your thoughts? ;-)

My husband is a Lego enthusiast and builds some extraordinary things. This is his portrait of me…ummmmm…🫣 hoping it’s not a true likeness 😂 🤷♀️
This is a shelf from a 1700s apartment building. No idea how old it is, but there are saw marks, prob from a mill saw, and adze marks too. Could be much older.
What’s the bet these accounts have never read a proper book on construction history, Or have ever used a hammer and chisel, let alone worked with the stone they spin their “I’m only asking questions” theories around.

In the event of fire, break glass... or "Safe Crash!"
The 1940s stand up and drive parcel delivery van probably seemed like a good idea... until the first time the driver needed to slam the brakes on 🤕
And this is an ANTICLOCKWISE stair in a CASTLE
No, it's because grand staircases didn't fit inside the narrow towers. And this is a myth 👇
Something to consider.
@DarrenMcLean_uk I see what you mean, the straight edges stand out. I don't have any photos in Portugal but from memory, big gaps weren't uncommon, however I have this photo I took in Gjirokastër, Albania in 2018. Much better example of what you're expecting to see I think.

@DarrenMcLean_uk He worked there between 1872 and 1879 (the year of his death in Lausanne - where he's buried). He was in charge of a deep restauration work: solve the water issue, the main tower and the entrance... But he still had time to paint the Alpes and the lake.. beautifully!
The Trevi Fountain is so much bigger in person than any picture has ever conveyed
Probably the most coolest stairs I’ve seen during the last couple of weeks. Lausanne’s Cathedral (…Violet-le-Duc was here…) ( @DarrenMcLean_uk your thoughts? ;-)
Did you guys know that Amelia Earhart had her own fashion line that was sold through Macy's and Marshall Fields? She did it to support her aviation career, disappearing just a few years after she started it.

@DarrenMcLean_uk @deirdrenotes @MurphyNiallGLA @ArtDecoSocUK @C20Society @RoryOlcayto @historicshops @neilgregoryhes @GordonBarr @SGHETorg I think the scaffolding was put up as a crash deck to prevent the tiles skiting any members of the public underneath - probably some expensive behind-the-scenes wrangle going on as to who should pay to replace the tiles in the meantime....
@DarrenMcLean_uk @MurphyNiallGLA @ArtDecoSocUK @C20Society @RoryOlcayto @historicshops @neilgregoryhes @GordonBarr @SGHETorg Thanks. Also note that the scaffold has been up for over 3 years now but not much (or any?) repair work seems to have happened. But of course the rubbish is piling up behind the barriers and there's a growing stench wafting from it. Why the standstill?
@RoryOlcayto @DarrenMcLean_uk @MurphyNiallGLA @ArtDecoSocUK @C20Society @historicshops @neilgregoryhes @GordonBarr @SGHETorg Houston Bryce Partnership did the restoration (a few years prior to it becoming a listed building) so I guess their company records for the project (if they exist) might produce some clues.
@deirdrenotes @DarrenMcLean_uk @MurphyNiallGLA @ArtDecoSocUK @C20Society @historicshops @neilgregoryhes @GordonBarr @SGHETorg Was it ADF? It was based there at the time. No longer in business I think.
@DarrenMcLean_uk @MurphyNiallGLA @ArtDecoSocUK @C20Society @RoryOlcayto @historicshops @neilgregoryhes @GordonBarr @SGHETorg Beginning to wonder if Cumbrae House was completely/mostly retiled in the 1988/89 'restoration' & if the replacements were faience or just basic tiles stuck on with superglue,as seen from the wider Laurieston heritage disaster zone today. How to tell the type of newer tiles used?
