The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and stone, it was the largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. It is the largest amphitheatre in the world.
The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 70 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).

Strasbourg, France Axis Mundi was invited to submit a
proposal for a new cathedral for the city of Strasbourg, France. The design is
composed of a series of unfolded arches which rest on a submerged “Latin Cross”
floor plan. A bas-relief of an abstracted Gothic cathedral will emerge on the
eastern facade when the sun rises, and will gradually disappear during the
course of the day.
