Fórum – Barcelona
Image by Francisco Sánchez
El Edificio Fórum es un prisma cuya base es un triangulo equilátero de 180 metros de lado y 25 de altura. Fue diseñado por los arquitectos suizos Jacques Herzog y Pierre de Meuron. Se sitúa en el inicio de la avenida Diagonal de Barcelona y constituye el principal emblema del Fórum Universal de las Culturas celebrado en el año 2004.
El techo del edificio contiene una pequeña piscina de escasa profundidad que se utiliza de aislante térmico. Su fachada rugosa de color azul añil se encuentra atravesada por diversas franjas de vidrio que recuerdan agua derramándose del techo. El edificio queda suspendido en el aire mediante 17 puntos de apoyo, creando así un espacio cubierto de uso público a nivel de calle. La planta se encuentra perforada por múltiples claraboyas que atraviesan el edificio en su verticalidad.
Dispone de un auditorio subterráneo de 3.200 plazas y de una sala de exposiciones de 5.000 m2. Un paseo, también subterráneo, conecta este edificio con el Centro de Convenciones Internacional de Barcelona.
Durante el Fórum, se celebraron conferencias múltiples, así como la parte protocolaria de las ceremonias de inauguración y clausura, y acogió varias exposiciones.
También, durante la celebración de este acontecimiento, tuvo que ser cerrado al público durante unos días por desprendimientos del material ignífugo que recubría el techo del edificio y, posteriormente, por problemas de filtraciones de agua, que fueron solucionados de forma inmediata.
A partir del otoño del 2005 acoge un museo sobre el futuro de la ciudad de Barcelona y el desarrollo sostenible. Más adelante, está prevista la instalación de un restaurante y de una capilla en su interior.
Las gradas del auditorio fueron construidas en un material hasta ahora no utilizado en pavimentación, la madera, sobre la cual se aplicó un pavimento de terrazo continuo de color negro a base de resinas epoxídicas y áridos de mármol, de la empresa Pavindus, establecida en Barcelona hace 25 años. La Rambla que llega hasta el auditorio fue construida por la misma empresa, en este caso, en color blanco.

Templo de Antonino y Faustina, Forum Romano.
Toma original realizada en diapositiva [slides]
Es el edificio mejor conservado del Foro Romano. Se abre a la Vía Sacra, al este
de la Basílica Emilia, frente a la Regia. Se compone de una cella construida en
bloques de toba volcánica, en origen revestida de mármol veteado, un pronaos de
seis columnas de orden corintio en el frente y otras dos en cada lateral, de una altura
de unos 17 metros. El friso presenta una decoración de grifos enfrentados y motivos
vegetales.
Su construcción fue ordenada por Antonino Pío a la muerte de su esposa Faustina
la Mayor en 141 d. C. El emperador a menudo decía que habría preferido vivir con ella
en el desierto que sin ella en el palacio. Pocos años después, en el 161, muere el
emperador y el Senado, al divinizarlo, consagra el templo a la pareja imperial. En el
siglo XI se transformó en la iglesia de "San Lorenzo de Miranda".

Roman Forum

Rome (Italy).
A walk through the Roman Forum is really a walk through history… a unique experience!
The Roman Forum is located between the Palatine hill and the Capitoline hill. It is the central area around which the ancient Roman civilization developed. Citizens referred to the location as the "Forum Magnum" or just the "Forum".
The oldest and most important structures of the ancient city are located in the forum. It served as a city square and central hub where the people of Rome gathered for justice and faith. The forum was also the economic hub of the city and considered to be the center of the Republic and Empire.

These are the ruins ancient Roman forum at about midnight. You can see the colosseum and the full moon in the distance. Between the 3 exposures, the moon actually moved a few pixels, thus the slight and strange moon-blur…
