The HSBC Main Building in Hong Kong serves as the headquarters of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, a subsidiary of London-based HSBC Holdings.

Its design symbolized the bank's modernization and role in the growth of Hong Kong as a financial center.In 2006, a major addition to the building, designed by One Space Ltd, included a new ground-floor lobby and the 'Asian Story Wall,' a multimedia installation featuring plasma screens displaying bank heritage and artwork.The building, a notable example of high-tech architecture, stands 180 meters tall with 47 stories and four basement levels. Its modular design, comprising five prefabricated steel modules, enabled rapid construction. The building also features an innovative layout, where lifts serve only atriums on specific floors, encouraging interaction and creating a 'village in the sky.'The HSBC building was also a site of the Occupy Hong Kong protests from October 2011 to September 2012.

According to an article from CBC, the village of Hyde, Saskatchewan, exists mostly in history books today, but landowner Hazel Morris is working to change that. Founded in the 1880s by George Audley Edward Hyde, the village was located between Grenfell and Neudorf in the Qu'Appelle Valley, east of Regina. Hyde, a British immigrant, built a thriving community with a post office, hotel, church, and more. However, by 1902, his mysterious source of wealth dried up, forcing him to leave. Hyde eventually moved to the West Coast, where he passed away in 1935.In 1999, Morris, originally from England, fell in love with the Qu'Appelle Valley and purchased the land where Hyde once stood. While managing her cattle operation, Morris became fascinated by the village's history and the enigma surrounding George Hyde's financial background. Now (in 2015) 81 years old, she is determined to restore Hyde's former home, despite challenges, and hopes to see the village come to life once again.

The Balabanov House is one of the highlights of Old Plovdiv. Its story began at the onset of the 19th century with the wealthy merchant and usurer, member of the tailors' guild, Hadji Panayot Lampsha. Around the turn of the century the Hadji Lampsha house was sold first time to the nephew Hristo, of the distinguished enlightener Nayden Gerov, and then to its last owner, the merchant of wood Luka Balabanov, whose name it bears today. The decaying house was demolished in 1935, but was reconstructed in 1976-1979 due to the records of architect Hristo Peev, the most outstanding researcher of the Revival period houses.The house, impressive in size, exemplifies the symmetrical houses from the 19th century built following the model along the maritime coast of the Bosphorus. Today it opens two distinct worlds to its visitors - the world of the Bulgarian Revival period you soak in with the lavish wood - carved ceilings, the period furniture and the nice alcoves, named alafrangas. The other world is that of culture and art.In line with the idea the home reborn of Hadji Panayot Lampsha to serve as a Plovdiv palazzo with authentic interior, the house today hosts temporary expositions, conferences, meetings with writers, chamber concerts, theatre performances.

The sight is truly remarkable as one gazes upon the abundant tree-lined street known as 'Marshal Tito,' adorned with houses and motifs from the early 20th century. The architecture exudes opulence and substance, offering a wealth of inspiration to captivate all who wander along this lengthy thoroughfare. This is none other than the former Old Bazaar of Strumica, comprised of approximately thirteen houses that collectively bear testament to the evolution of urban structure and the enduring history of our people in this region. These houses were originally constructed by prosperous traders and craftsmen from Strumica. Examining the architectural style, it becomes evident that the majority of the buildings were erected between 1920 and 1935, showcasing neoclassical and neo-baroque characteristics evident in the facade reliefs. The spatial layout of the houses primarily consists of a ground floor and first floor, with many of them featuring cellars. The ground floor served commercial or artisanal purposes, hosting shops directly facing the street, while the residential areas were oriented towards the backyard. The grand candelabras and inviting benches further enhance the charm of this promenade, making it an ideal location for gatherings and leisurely strolls.

The Mosque of Saranda was built in 1935, with the contribution of the sisters of King Zog. In 1967, it ceased to function as a religious object and its function was changed, but it was returned to the believers in 1991. The mosque still retains the same physical appearance and structure as it did when it was built. The only exception is the minaret, which was demolished in 1967 and rebuilt in 2004. The Mosque of Saranda is adorned with externally carved stones, a characteristic feature of buildings of that time in the south of the country. The attractive appearance of the object, its location in the heart of the city, and its mission to calm the spirits and cultivate the power and harmony of faith make this religious object frequented by believers of all ages. The Mosque of Saranda attracts many tourists during the summer season, who visit it with enthusiasm.

The Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard (English: Boulevard of the Martyrs of the Nation) is a major thoroughfare in Tirana, Albania. It was initially designed by Armando Brasini in 1925. Brasini's master plan was later amended by Florestano di Fausto, and in 1939 by Gherardo Bosio following the Italian invasion of Albania. The wide thoroughfare was initially named after King Zog, and after the 1939 invasion was renamed Viale del Impero (Avenue of the Empire). In 1934 to 1935, a bridge was built over the boulevard by Gjovalin Gjadri. During the communist era in Albania, major parades regularly took place including on Liberation Day and International Workers Day. Many buildings are located along this boulevard, including the Presidential Palace, the Prime Minister's Office, the Palace of Congress, the Rogner Hotel and the University of Tirana. The boulevard enters the city centre from the south and intersects with Bajram Curri Boulevard near the Rinia Park. It then becomes part of Skanderbeg Square and continues north of the centre to Zogu I Boulevard. The boulevard was immortalised by Edi Hila in a series of paintings titled Martyrs of the Nation Boulevard.
