The Whittle Arch in Coventry, England is a memorial to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventer of the turbo jet engine. The arch is made of a pair of aerofoil sections, with perforated stainless steel sheathing covering a tubular frame and steel lattice.
Apse of Grundtvigs Kirke (Grundtvig’s Church) in Copenhagen, Denmark. A spectacular example of modernist, minimalist Gothic architecture. Wikipedia describes it as ‘expressionist’ but it is clearly not – it is too restrained, the decorative elements are minimised and there is a phenomenal sense of stillness and tranquility. It is a fabulous colour too – photographs don’t really capture the delicacy of the yellow/cream brickwork in the interior of the church.
