Where in the World (667)

The building featured is obviously an historic glasshouse. Its architecture suggests around the turn of the last century much the same time as the glasshouse at London’s Kew Gardens.

If you didn’t recognise the unique structure immediately then th bridge projected on to the building would be a big clue. Also the flag project on the surface of the building would identify the country it is likely to be in. It might take a little research but it is the flag of Australia’s First Nations peoples. It is of course the Sydney Opera House from which you can identify the city.

The featured structure is not a floodlit Eiffel Tower but is inspired by the French capital’s iconic structure. It is a communications and observation tower and is painted white and international orange to comply with international aeronautical regulations. It is known simply by the addition of the city to the word “Tower”. Tokyo Tower can be found in the Japanese’s largest city, Tokyo..

The building featured in last week’s “Where in the World…” could easily be mistaken for the Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofía in the City of Arts and Science in Valencia, which was featured a few weeks ago. That’s because it is designed by the same architect, Santiago Calatrava. Its unique architectural style has become an emblem of the city. It is the Auditoro de Tenerife which narrows the location down considerably.

Where in the World (662) was, as I suspected, mistaken for the Guggenheim in Bilbao. I am led to believe the even Google Lens struggled. It is a concert hall in a city better known for Triumphal Arch and a structure designed by Gustav Eiffel. The building is the Philharmonie de Paris, which gives you the identity of the city.

Even though there were few instantly recognisable features of this city visible the O2 Arena (aka The Millennium Dome) is easily recognised across the river. That means the city is London and the river is the Thames.

It looks like one of the Stormtroopers from Star Wars left his helmet behind but is in fact part of a City of Arts and Sciences located in the city to be identified. The distorted image, understandably, has been mistakenly identified as Sydney, Australia. Presumably because of the curvaceous structures. It is however, not located downunder but in the Spanish city of Valencia.

The structure with the two spheres, known as the Oriental Pearls, is unique to this city. The building looking like a bottle opener is also fairly unique and is part of a threesome known as “the Three Piece Cooking Set” because the design of the other two resemble an egg whisk and a cooking syringe. All four buildings/structures can be found in the Chinese city of Shanghai.

Around the world there are a number of cities where buildings have been left in a ruined but stable state as reminders of the horrors of war. This very distinctive building has been left as it was as a peace memorial and a reminder of the destructive power of nuclear armaments. It survived the first atomic bomb used in war while the city around it was flattened. It is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial found in the city of the same name.

Despite flagging up the dome as a significant clue readers used Pegasus statue and the writing above the archway to identify the building and hence the city. It is the Palacio de Bellas Artes (the last two words visible above the arch) and it can be found in Mexico City.
