_____________________ Saltburn Cliff Tramway | North Yorkshire, England | c. 1884 * When the railroad came to Saltburn-by-the-Sea in the 1860s, it brought tourists seeking a beach holiday. To accommodate and draw in the vacationers, Saltburn Pier was built, but there was one issue: to reach the pier from town, visitors had to descend somewhat dangerous cliffs. So as necessity is the mother of invention, the oldest operating water-balance lift in the United Kingdom was constructed * The first lift was more of a hoist. Opening in 1870, it allowed 20 passengers at a time to be lowered by rope attached to a wooden cage. It worked for about 12 years, but was eventually condemned and demolished due to rotting timbers * To replace the hoist, the Tangyes Engineering Company built a funicular tramway. The design proved so good that little has changed technically since it opened in 1884 - Including the job of the 'brakeman' who still controls the operation from the upper station * Here's how it works: Two 12-person cars run on parallel railway tracks - each with its own 240-gallon (~908 liters) water tank. The water tank of the car at the upper-station is filled until its weight barely exceeds that of the car at the bottom. The heavier car then begins to travels down the incline, almost exactly counterbalanced by the other car, which simultaneously travels to the top. When the car reaches the bottom, its water is pumped to the top and the process begins again * The Cliff Lift underwent major restorations in the 2010s and is still in regular use between March and October each year. With its characteristic stained glass windows and Victorian aesthetic, it remains one of Saltburn's most popular tourist attractions * Know more?

_____________________ Park Hyatt Tokyo | Tokyo, Japan | c. 1994 * Within Tokyo's iconic Shinjuku Park Tower, the Park Hyatt Tokyo has provided stays in the city's bustling commercial and business district since 1994. A popular destination with businessmen and celebrities, the Park Hyatt has served as both a world-renowned hotel and a set location for many Japanese and American films * Owned and managed by Tokyo Gas Urban Development, the Park Tower is constructed on the site of a decommissioned gas storage facility. Designed by Japanese architect Kenzō Tange, known for his blend of traditional Japanese architecture and modernism, the Shinjuku Park Tower is a single building consisting of three connected towers. The Park Hyatt occupies the fourteen top floors, 39 to 52 * Noted for its design, the Park Hyatt features modern granite and glass exteriors while its interior space is renowned for evoking a sense of open space. Containing 177 rooms in total, the Hotel can be accessed by private entrances and elevators via the lower floors in the Park Tower, often to the benefit of high-profile guests staying at the hotel * On the 47th floor, guests will find the pool where, on a clear day, they'll be greeted with stunning views of Mt. Fuji. A standard mini lap pool, guests are required to wear a swimming cap and goggles which are supplied by the hotel. During the daytime, its symmetrical design is exemplified by a perfect triangle created in the framework of the window panes that reflects onto the pool * Both Shinjuku Park Tower and the Park Hyatt Tokyo have played major roles in the world of film. Japanese filmmaker Makoto Shinkai has featured the Park Tower in three of his animated films, and the Park Hyatt was the set location for American filmmaker Sofia Coppola's award-winning 2005 film, "Lost in Translation" * Know more?

_____________________ Southern Fuegian Railway | Ushuaia, Argentina | c. 1909 * The Southern Fuegian Railway, also referred to as El Tren del Fin del Mundo - or The Train of the End of the World - in its native Argentina, is more enduring in origin than it is apocalyptic. Its name actually refers to its locale as the southernmost railway in the world * Opened in 1909, the Railway operated as a freight line to carry timber to and from the prison of Ushuaia. Founded as a penal colony, Ushuaia was home to prisoners transported from Buenos Aires. The prisoners were tasked with constructing buildings for the expanding prison as well as the first wooden rails that the Railway would use to move the rock, sand, and lumber * During its early years the train was also known as El Tren de los Presos, or the Train of Prisoners. As Ushuaia and the surrounding town grew, so too did the Railway, replacing its wooden rail with steel tracks, and expanding its route into nearby forests to support the town's needs. By 1947, the Ushuaia Prison closed and was replaced by a naval base. Five years later, the Railway would close as well * After nearly fifty years, the Railway experienced a rebirth. In 1994, it was rebuilt as a heritage line running through the Tierra del Fuego National Park. Departing from the 'End of the World' station, passengers can hear tales of the history of the Ushuaia prisoners and the indigenous Yámana people who have resided on the islands south of Tierra del Fuego for over 10,000 years * The Railway's route winds through the National Park, passing forests, valleys, and mountains before reaching El Parque station where passengers can then embark on a return trip. In 2019, the Railway served almost 100,000 passengers * Know more?

_____________________ Hospital De Sant Pau | Barcelona, Spain | c. 1401 * Just like the ever-changing field of medicine, the Hospital De Sant Pau has evolved over the centuries. The institution's beginnings are rooted in the medieval tradition and date back to 1401 when six Barcelona hospitals merged into one, creating the ​Hospital de la Santa Creu * At the time, the Hospital de la Santa Creu was a prime example of Catalan Gothic style, a type of architecture commonly used on civil structures. Designs in this style were known to be sparsely decorated and employed fewer windows due to the high quality of light that poured in from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea * By the 19th century, healthcare services in Spain were advancing toward scientific medicine and utilizing hygienic principles. As Barcelona continued to grow, so too did the advances in medicine and plans to expand the Hospital were made. Banker Pau Gil began expanding the structure in ​1902 - once complete the hospital was renamed Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau to honor his legacy * Designed by famed Catalan modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Pau's new hospital took roughly 28 years to complete. By 1930, it was revered as the most important civil building in the Catalan modernist style. Sadly, Domènech i Montaner had passed away years earlier and didn't see the finished structure * Pau's Catalan modernist building operated as a fully functioning hospital until 2009, when a new, modern hospital was built next door. Today, the Hospital De Sant Pau is comprised of a modern health complex linked to five independent buildings, and the former structure is used as a museum and cultural center * Know more?

_____________________ The Madison Hotel | Morristown, New Jersey | c. 1936 * At the turn of the 20th century, millionaires and their mansions -- 91 to be exact -- filled the streets of Morristown, New Jersey at a record pace. With a booming industrialized economy in full swing, New York's wealthy flocked to the nearby suburb to escape from the City's hustle and bustle * Along with the wealthy came their customs, their toys, and a great influence on the economic growth of Morristown. The Morris County Golf Club was founded by women in 1894, cars quickly arrived in the area - a new experience for the township that had been rural farmland - and led to the planning and pavement of public & private roads. As the suburb grew into a destination, so did its appeal, and The Madison Hotel was soon built * Established in 1936, The Hotel, including its two restaurants Rod's and GK's Red Dog Tavern, has hosted the affluent for decades. Renowned for its opulent decor and old world appeal reminiscent of its early days in operation, the Hotel was designed in the Georgian style with a facade featuring an entrance with a grand balcony and a central clocktower * However, it's the interior amenities that can transport guests back to the glamor of the Gilded Age -- quite literally. The inside of Rod's Steak & Seafood Grille features polished brass details, rich wood paneling, and a stained glass skylight - handcrafted more than a century ago and the former ceiling of a world renowned bank in Pittsburgh * Guests also have the option to dine privately inside an turn-of-the-century Parlour Car. With many of the same beautifully refurbished details, the car harkens back to the time of great sophistication & elegance. Formerly reserved for the rich and famous, today the refurbished rail car provides a one-of-a-kind dining experience for all * 📸: @henrykhwu ✍: @kelly.murray 📰: @wikipedia + @the_madison_hotel * #AccidentallyWesAnderson​ #TravelMore #AccidentalWesAnderson​ ​#WesAnderson​ ​#VscoArchitecture​ ​#Archigram #Refurbished #Railcars #Morristown #NorthJersey #Njisntboring #Njspots #NewJersey

_____________________ Mercado de Colón | Valencia, Spain | c. 1916 * By the early 20th century, the Spanish city of Valencia had become industrialized following a period of economic stability. Small businesses and large companies quickly formed, and the architectural response could be seen in the city's urban fabric. Buildings like the Mercado de Colón, a result of the Art Nouveau movement, reflected this rapid industrial development within their design * Located in Valencia's affluent Ensanche district, the Mercado is in the heart of the city. Built in response to the need for a market that could supply the newly formed neighborhood, it was approved by the city and designated to the land plot of a former gas factory​. By splitting the block, this location resulted in the creation of a new street, now the Calle Martínez Ferrando * Designed by Francisco Mora Berenguer, who was heavily influenced by the Catalan Modernists, the Mercado is divided into three bays with intricately detailed metal trusses. Two prominent exterior brick facades feature pristinely crafted mosaics, and its perimeter is lined with a stone base supporting a wrought iron fence. Inside, its walls are made of glass and can be opened to let air circulate through * First operating as a traditional public market filled with fruit and vegetable vendors, the Mercado now features restaurants, shops, bars, and cafes. During the holidays, the Mercado hosts a Christmas market where guests can shop for gifts from vendors and artists, attend holiday socials, and take in the grandeur of lavish decorations and a glittering Christmas tree placed at its center * In 2003, the Mercado was completely restored. Now considered a National Monument, it continues to be one of the premiere examples of Valencian Art Nouveau with the ​influence of the modernists Domenech i Montaner and Gaudí clearly visible * Know more?
