Where do you work?

I work for a trade show & museum exhibit company in a suburb of Milwaukee, WI USA.

The one thing I appreciate the most in our office building, connected to our shops, warehouse and docks, are that the windows open to let in fresh air. My office is the last door on the left. I also enjoy seeing deer and other wildlife in the woods outside my office window.

I'm so glad I don't actually "work" anymore. Else I'd have to show you spoiled brats a pretty sad sight.
Google Earth shows a few treetops and some roofs which disappeared two years and two days ago.
Anyway, it's fun looking at the posts.

As Steve McQeen says in Papillon: I'm still here, you bastards!

I had worked in this building for 13 years:

and now work in:

The University is a former factory which has been converted to what you see there. Steelcase recently sold its brown field factories to the north and east and they are now in the process of being torn down. About 50 feet from my office is the new 'edge' of the building.

Tobobo - I've always had the idea that Birmingham was a very polluted city - but when I think about it, that must have been a long time ago.

I notice that you've always on holiday [street] even when at work.

Tobobo

Its still very populated (I Think), I don't have the window seat

Edit: Woops -long day should explain it (i hope)

Toby - The trees do make a difference [to the pollution and the view] - especially those in that shot. The work of a mature landscape architect no doubt?

As for the population - you'd know more about that than I would. I'm not picking that hairy chestnut out of the fire.

I'll be heading to the Northern Hemisphere in about 10 days and don't want to get off on the wrong foot.

Tobobo

I've had such a dense day today, it all started with me forgetting my lunch.

The pollution is much better now, thanks to the public realm improvements such as the bull ring

More than meets the eye

Toby

Bernard Hagan

Bull Ring? You'll have to explain . . . or is there something I'm missing here?

Tobobo

Its a redeveloped market space

Here is the link to the centre's website

Jackson

Wow, you guys are turning speaking at cross-purposes into an art!

You must admit, to anyone unfamiliar with Birmingham the following sentence sounds very odd in the 21st century.

Toby - I take it you're in favour of the Bull Ring? Why?

You would think that after spending half a billion pounds on the building they would want to show it off. The website should be crammed with wonderful images of what appears to be an interesting modern building smack in the middle of Birmingham's CBD - not so.

That roof [the little you see of it] looks like something Frank Gehry might have designed.

I notice a Landscape Architect designed one of the art works - the glass cubes water sculpture.

Was there much criticism or opposition to its construction? They must have had to knock down a lot of old buildings to make room for it.

howdy yall,
I work for PDI now is called Dream... Animation, shhhh . I'm not supposed to tell. We are located in redwood city. I've worked on several of their movies, and I must say, it has a fantastic working environment, full of very talented people that push you to become even better. I have worked on tv show and video games as well, but now im staying with films for a while.

It has been a while since this thread was touched... before the transfer in fact. Anyway, I was downloading all the pictures off my camera tonight, clearing up space for the weekend trip and I found some pictures I meant to post here.

These are last fall on a walk around downtown Huntsville. I really enjoy taking walks during short breaks. That is unless it is scorching hot which it will be very soon from now.

As of today I am "working" here, (as long as the sun does not prevent me from recognizing anything on the screen, what happens in the early afternoon).

And when I take a walk or go cycling (which I really need to do to get my mind cleaned up after a couple of hours playing with the 3D-stuff ) the surroundings look like this... in downtown Frankfurt.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have only just come across this post.
I work for a company based in the heart of Liverpool city centre.
A city that had been neglected for decades is now having nearly £1Billion (yes, one billion!) spent in an effort to restore some of its previous glory.
While parts of Liverpool did fall in to a terrible state many people didn't realise that Liverpool has some of the best neo-classical buildings in Europe.

The main view out of my window is St.Georges Hall.
St George's Hall is widely regarded as a major work of European architecture and arguably, the finest neo-classical building in the world.
Alongside this beautiful building is the Walker Art Gallery. Another fine building.

Attached are images of my office from inside and out and the buildings mentioned above.

Regards
Mr S

Aha! so that's what that new building is. Now I'm really jealous; you're virtually sitting on top of the La Tasca tapas bar.

Yes, more grade II listed building than any UK city outside of London; more Georgian buildings than Bath. I just hope the collateral damage to either isn't too great during this massive redevelopment....exciting and welcome though it is.
