The Lloyd's building (also sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd´s of London, and is located at 1, Lime Street, in the City of London, England.
It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986.
What I really love about this buildings is the way everything is connected when sometimes it does not seem like it is, everything stays connected and does not fall apart. When you see it you feel impressed of how something like that can stand still and be so greatly designed, all of the creativity put into it. You can detect all the innovation and originality in it. I feel like everything is possible when I see it.
When you hear the words, architecture and dancing, you may think they have nothing in common, but really somehow they actually do. Architecture in auditoriums where the people dance has to be of a certain form to make it a great show for the audience.
As an example I found a great auditorium located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Spain. It was designed by the architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.
The auditorium was inaugurated on 26 September, 2003 with the presence of Felipe de Borbón, Prince of Asturias, and was later visited by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The building is framed within the tenets of late-modern architecture of the late 20th century.
What I really love about this piece of architecture is that you can really easily see the artistic part of it which makes it even more special. I love to see this type of freedom in the design of it, you can appreciate the details that complete the masterpiece of Calatrava.
