Arches of the San Gil Barracks
The San Gil Barracks were designed by Francesco Sabatini and stood in the northern part of what is now the Plaza de España. The barracks were demolished at the beginning of the 20th century. Construction of the San Gil barracks began in 1789. Originally conceived by architect Manuel Martín Rodríguez as a convent for Franciscan monks. The building was demolished for the first time and then rebuilt as a settlement for the army. The idea was to defend the northeast flank of the Royal Palace. The final building was the work of prominent Italian architect Francesco Sabatini After over a century of military use, the demolition of the barracks was decreed in 1903. This finally began in 1906 and was not completed until 1908. A recent refurbishment of the Plaza de España, which started in 2020, led to the discovery of some important archaeological remains. One example is a series of walls made up of semicircular arches that correspond to part of the San Gil Barracks, which after 118 years underground, have now been relocated to the surface.
One River North
Located in Denver City's River North District, the new 16-story residential tower "merges nature and architecture to inspire a well-balanced life." It features more than 13,000 square feet of open-air spaces inspired by Colorado's landscapes. What makes the glass-clad façade genuinely stand out, though, is a jaw-dropping 10-story rift that allows you to see a trail-like walkway that spans four stories as well as a water feature. For One River North, the firm took influences specifically from the nearby Rocky Mountains, which will be visible from the roof deck that features a pool, spa and garden. “We shared how diverse our geology is, from high alpine lakes and tree line to the eastern plains,” Jeff Stoecklein, senior landscape architect at Davis, said. “All of these plants need to be adaptable to the microclimates the building is creating,” he added. The canyon will be populated with a variety of plant species to mitigate the risk of die-off of any one species and watered via an irrigation system. The canyon includes a trail-like walkway across four floors and a waterfall between the eighth and sixth floors. As the plants mature, “we will witness seasonal change,” Stoecklein said, which will create a dynamic and variable view of the building throughout the year.
Sled shed in Duluth Parks
From: https://www.fox21online.com/2021/12/22/duluths-sled-sheds-are-back-this-winter/ "DULUTH, Minn. -The Duluth Parks and Rec has brought back “Sled Sheds” this winter. A free sledding opportunity, Sled Sheds can be utilized by anyone who wants to go out and have some fun in the snow. These sheds can be found at three locations, Lincoln Park, Leif Erickson Park, Portland Square, and a fourth shed location will be coming soon at Merritt Park. “The idea is really for people to get outside. The equipment is already there, people can just go have fun. Not everyone has sleds and so sledding is so much fun especially in Minnesota there’s so many great hills that are here, so we planted sled sheds in different parks that have hills so everyone can use them,” Duluth Public Information Officer, Kate Van Daele says. You can also donate your used sleds to any of the four Sled Shed locations."
Maria-Theresien Strasse
MARIA-THERESIEN-STRASSE (German: Maria-Theresien-Straße) is an outdoor medieval street in the City of Inssbruck, Tirol, Austria, and it was built in honor of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, who reigned in the late eighteenth century. However, the street was founded approximately 700 years ago, when it was only inhabited by a few farm houses and it was outside of the Old Town's great medieval walls. This Urban Placemaking project is a fantastic opportunity to visit a modernized medieval site, enjoy the local gastronomy of the Tirol region, and meet other people.
