Turkish Airlines CIP Lounge by Autoban.
It was millimetrically designed to make a difference to the company’s passengers at the international airport of Istanbul.
The space can accommodate up to 2000 people, has a concept of care to their most important customers in an exclusive international airport. The most notable features are certainly curves and rich textures of ownership, which makes it all very beautiful and elegant.
The CIP Lounge has rest rooms, restaurant, tea garden, a library, and a small cinema.
Printemps (French for “Spring,” as in the season) was founded in 1865, by Jules Jaluzot and Jean-Alfred Duclos. The store was designed by noted architects Jules and Paul Sédille and opened at the corner of Le Havre and Boulevard Haussmann, in Paris France on 3 November 1865. The building was greatly expanded in 1874, and elevators (then a great novelty) from the 1867 Universal Exposition were installed.

Here is something nice to encounter as you ramble happily through the forest: a Victorian folly, built before the trees grew. Follies are fanciful architecture built solely for decorative purposes, often with a deliberate ‘sham’ effect….such as constructing something to look far older than it actually is. ‘Why, there are Roman ruins in my back garden! How extraordinary!’ This one is near Bingley in West Yorkshire (bingleyman2 flickr)
NYC: American Standard Building ~ The American Standard Building, formerly known as the American Radiator Building stands at 103 meters tall just south of Bryant Park. The 23-floor Art-Deco tower was designed Raymond Hood and John Howells from 1923-1924 for the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Company.

Architectural drawings by the great Hugh Ferriss. His archives are held by our art and architecture library, Avery Library.
REALLY wish I had a larger image than this!
An incredibly cool new collection at the Columbia Libraries: the Yardley Collection of Architectural Letterheads. Each letterhead features an image of the building where the company was located.
“Most of the letterheads are organized by street, which allows readers to chart a path through the city, one address at a time. The section devoted to Maiden Lane, for example, has illustrations of a dozen commercial buildings that once lined this street in downtown Manhattan. Many of these buildings, like the musical instrument company of John F. Stratton at 55 Maiden Lane, are no longer standing. Another especially rich section of the collection focuses on hotels, with letterheads from as early as 1831.”
