    Sports Center José Martí - Havana, Cuba

    Probably it is by the hand of architect Max Borges Recio. Elegant concrete colums arise from the grond and become nearly abstract floral themes. The sports center is located in the Havana suburb of Vedado at the corner of the Malecón and Calle G.

    George's Dock Building. Home of The Mersey Tunnels Board , Liverpool.

    The Art Deco Ventilation Station and Tunnel Offices were designed by Sir Basil Mott and J. A. Brodie with Herbert J. Rowse as architect and built between 1931 and 1934.

    It is one of a number of buildings on both sides of the river constructed to serve the Mersey Road Tunnel. The central angular ventilation shaft dominates the building and takes the form of a stylised obelisk.

    The Stock Exchange Tower located at 155 Sansome Street was designed by noted San Francisco architects Miller & Pflueger under the direction of Timothy L. Pflueger (1892 -1946). The building opened in 1930 and housed the offices of the brokers who worked 'on the floor' of the adjacent San Francisco Stock Exchange. That imposing structure, fronting on Pine Street, with its facade of stately Doric columns, was constructed in 1910 as a United States Sub-treasury and was adapted to serve as the exchange's trading floor as part of the 155 Sansome Street project. The two monumental sculptures that flank its entrance are the works of sculptor Ralph Stackpole (1895-1973) and are named 'Agriculture' represented by feminine figures and 'Industry' represented by masculine figures. Believing that great art should be an integral part of great architecture, Pflueger, one of California’s earliest architects to incorporate Classic European Modernism into his work, commissioned a number of the era’s most renowned artists and craftsmen to work on the project. The Pacific Stock Exchange Lunch Club (1930-1987), now The City Club, is considered the best interior in the Art Deco style in San Francisco, and among the best in California.

    The Sculpter is Francois Pompon who was one of the most sought-after assistants in Paris, hewing blocks of marble for Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel. But after 1905, in reaction to Rodin's expressionism, Pompon abandoned the human figure and turned to the animals that he observed at the Jardin des Plantes. Polar Bear is the finest achievement in this vein; when it was exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1922, it brought the artist tardy recognition, at the age of sixty-seven.
    Stripping away the trappings and details, he abandoned any realistic rendering and focused on "the very essence of the animal". This economy of means gives the work a presence which draws its true force from its monumental scale

    Jeste troch Atlase, je to famozni socha...


    This massive seven-ton, 15-foot tall cast bronze statue of the colossal Titan Atlas has stood at the 630 Fifth Avenue main entrance frontcourt to Rockefeller Plaza since it was installed in January, 1937. Conceived and designed by Lee Lawrie, and modeled by Rene Chambellan, it depicts the story of Atlas from Greek mythology. The largest sculptural work in Rockefeller Center, it embodies both the Center's mythical and heroic theme as well as its Art Deco style.

    Atlas, brother of Prometheus, was a Titan--one of the race of half-god half-man giants who warred against Zeus and the Olympic gods. After their defeat, Atlas was condemed to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders for his role in the uprising. The world is represented by an armillary spehere with the north-south axis poitning to the North Star. Affixed to one of the sphere's rings are symbols for twelve constellations through which the Sun passes during the year. Laid across his shoulders is a wide, curved beam that displays a frieze of the traditional symbols for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Adjacent to Earth (over Atlas's right forearm) is a small crescent symbolizing the Moon. Atlas is depicted with exaggerated musculature and a stylized body, characteristic of Art Deco style. His face, deeply furrowed, Atlas stands perched atop a simple 9-foot granite pedestal--knees bent, with one leg overhanging, emphasizing the great burden he was made to carry. The warm brown patina not only draws attention, but contrasts against the white limestone of its background buildings. The pedestal is uniquely placed so that its corner faces off against Fifth Avenue to give the illusion of flow and space.

    German-born Lee Lawrie was well known as an architectural sculptor. His work can be found at St. Thomas Church and throughout Rockefeller Center: Wisdom, flanked on the left by Light and on the right by Sound at 30 Rockefeller Plaza; Winged Mercury and Heraldic Lions at the British Empire Building; Fleur-de-lis and Seeds of Good Citizenship at La Maison Française; Progress at One Rockefeller Plaza; The Story of Mankind, Saint Francis of Assisi, Swords into Plowshares, Columbia Greeting a Woman, Boatman, Fourteen coats of Arms, and Corncucopia of Plenty at the International building.

    Rene Paul Chambellan, an architectural modeler and sculptor, was born in 1893 in West Hoboken. He was one of the foremost practitioners of what was then called the French Modern Style and has subsequently been labeled Zig-Zag Moderne, or Art Deco. His sculpture adorns landmarks like the American Radiator Building, the Chicago Tribune Building, the New York Life Insurance Building, Carew Tower, the Chanin Building, Beekman Tower and the Daily News Building. His other pieces around Rockefeller Center include the decorative drain covers and fountainhead sculptures in the Channel Gardens, the Motifs from the Coats of Arms of the British Isles and Pageant of French History.

    Rockefeller Center was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1985.

    In 2007, Rockefeller Center was ranked #56 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.

    Rockefeller Center National Register #87002591
