This, from roksoslav, must be for people even shorter than me - or maybe I would just get to finally be tall in Dalmatia!

This I find highly interesting (and it's an example of interior architecture)::
-- from rocdam - (?)

The note by rocdam is as follows:

In the houses - cave more or less furnished in this way have lived farmers, shepherds, disinherited, with a style of life corresponding to the rules of an ancient country civilization today disappearance. During the XX century the overcrowding of the Sassi and the degrade of the residences it reached the peak, turning them into a circle dantesco of human sufferings, sung by Charles Levi in his "Christ is stopped to Eboli."

The most lovely staircase scrollwork in a photo by Nashville Files:


Part of Nashville Files' description reads, "Built in 1799 by Alexander Outlaw for his son-in-law Joseph Hamilton. Both of these men were instrumental in founding the States of Franklin and later Tennessee. (ref: Historic American Buildings Survey)." The same kind of scrollwork -- not the same design, but the same idea of curves with bits going off of them, echoing natural plant growth -- is on the staircase in my own house, built nearly 100 years later.

I read a lot in my job, making books ready to publish, and one of my favourite projects this year was by Jan Wong, Beijing Confidential. Jan Wong left Canada to go to university in Communist China in the 70s, and this new book talks about her recent return, with her husband and children, to Beijing. In one chapter, she talks about the new architecture of the city, and how that architecture was changing more than the cityscape. I knew, as a gut-level thing, when I saw this photo that that's what I was seeing.

the New Beijing, from Save The Silver:
