This wonderful staircase was designed by the architect Ede Magyar for the Reök Palace in Szeged, Hungary (1906-1907), but it was actually created by the metal-worker and artist-craftsman Pál Fekete, who was responsible for the spectacular forging of the entire building

Piscine Tournesol - A 1970s abandoned swimming pool in France 🇫🇷🏊🩳

🌻“Tournesol” translates to sunflower, and relates to the shape and unique mechanisms of the dome covering the pool. It was able to slide open to allow in the sun, the segments moved on rails allowing them to be closed throughout the day. Following the sun's path, like a sunflower!

Sadly, it was demolished in 2018.

Barcelona's city planning was designed and built in 1859 by urban planner and engineer Ildefons Cerdà. This grid facilitates airflow throughout the streets while maximizing sunlight and daylight entering shops and apartments on the lower floors.
