Taipei Opennings with unique carvings in Villa Lin

This geometorical shape opening looks more like one in Sculpa's buildings in Italy.
What is the most interesting about opennings in Villa Lin, I think, Numbers of its can been built in a line. Wind seems to be flowing thoughout Villa. Though taiwan`s crimate is characterized by hot and humid,what is called Tropic, Wind may makes me feel good.


It looks like a shape being in fashion in contemporay architectures.

Bangkok Overhead railways

The overhead railways ,it is called "SkyTrain ",sits above of the main street. The railway itself was supported by the columns,which have an interesting carvings. I dont like extremely representative carvings which it can be often seen in Thailand. But there is a cool and modern design on the columns.I like it very much.

Bangkok Column

In the past the Thai people placed a column which symbolize a center point of a city and then built a city from there.

Bangkok Column 2

The lady is heading for the building houses the column.The buildings belong to Thai Palace can be seen around here.


This tiny building is placed on the front of the building which houses the column.


Those who goes into the building are required to take off their shoes.

In the palace district there are so much houses decorated with detailed represantational carvings. I became really tired when looking at them except this roof.

Chester The walls

People are strolling on the path on the City Walls, lead us to the city as it used to be.


It looks like houses built on the City Walls.

Part of the City Walls sit along a river, where so much people gathered.They are eating, drinking, playing and reading.


You can see the letters "The walls" on the sign of the buildings on the walls.


In the past a city was built and the walls were built to protect it from outsiders and enemies. Later the walls became a relic of the old days and it was used in a new city.

Cities like Paris,Rome as well as Tokyo the wall was mostly destroyed.because it protect to spread the growth of a city in reverse.....continue.
