JFK Memorial (Dallas, Texas, USA)

 One building (more monument) that caught my attention is the JFK Memorial at Dallas, Texas.

The memorial is so simple yet minimalistic. From far away it looks like its a flying box with two spaces to enter. In the middle you'll find the step of marble with JFK graved/carved in gold (I think so). The flying style represents freedom, liberty and the opening represent open to everybody.




In fact the memorial is a representation of a open tomb or cenotaph. This symbolizes the free spirit of JFK. Indeed when you see the memorial you can think about that as well.

The memorial very well represent what it wants to say to its audience and it is really nice.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium (Port Elizabeth, South Africa)

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is a very different stadium from what I usually know as stadiums. You see it from far away and it looks like a circus tent or a fancy shopping place, mostly looks like anything except a soccer stadium.

I'll say it doesn't looks like a stadium because of the ceiling that gives a effect of a cap, tent, umbrella and that it's near the bay. But it is a Stadium and a very nice stadium, the ceiling style is "petals" giving it an aspect of a flower thats why it's known also as The Protea.

The ceiling is retractable from left to ride in a circulatory way. Thats some good technology and eye catching. The first time I went to the stadium was during the 2010 World Cup. My reaction was to take a picture of it, film it when it was opening and obviously a picture of me next to it. I was very impress, the inside was beautiful and well take care of.

Cape Town Stadium (Cape Town, South Africa)

This stadium was built specially for the World Cup 2010. It has an amazing structure, it's a perfect loop. In my opinion it looks like something from another place, specially when the lights are turned on at night. The style comes from Germany architectures and South African Architectures. This stadium caught the attention of many people due to its style.

I really liked the outside structure, how it seems that there are different levels (little rectangles). It look like a headquarter of a company (Apple Infinite Loop). But is a stadium, even though the stadium was used for the world cup 2010 the capacity is for 50,000 people.

I think this stadium is very modern and eye coughing and deserves a shot-out next to the stadium of Nelson Mandela Bay. Yes, South Africa have very nice stadiums such as Soccer City as well which was main stadium. I had a very positive experience viewing matches, and I loved how it caught my attention.

Cathedral of Lima (Peru, Lima)

One building that marked my life was the Cathedral of Lima. It is a beautiful building with a lot of religious significance. I personally love Cathedrals the way they are represented, the sculptures and every detail. It is beautiful from the inside and the outside. The to towers plus the bells are located at the far end of the front panorama while in the middle you'll find the central portal where there are columns and in the middle are the apostles guarding Jesus Christ.

I love this Cathedral from the outside to the inside. The doors, decorations, the inside main are shaped as the Franciscan cross, the roof and columns it give the Cathedral character. But it has it cons, you'll find crypts inside (down the ground); even though I found that amazing I feel is creepy. The purpose is to honor them, saints, priests and others.

It's a nice Cathedral with great history and architectural design.  

Tietgenkollegiet (Copenhagen, Denmark)

When I first saw this building from the outside I thought "what a weird building" because of its circular form and how the room are displayed from the outside. When you get closer and in the inside you start to feel comfortable, it welcomes you.

This building is a student residence with more than 300 room, and personally I think its more awesome because its dedicated to the students and not to the general public. The building has a common are in the middle which all windows point to, also the outside/city.

I think that this building is inspiring and a real form of art that can be interpreted in many ways. It circular = circle of life and infinite. It's a student residence = young happy and supportive. I really loved this building and all of its aspects.
