Restoration of the Koupas Mansion, Athens (late 19th century)

The Koupas Mansion in central Athens was built in the last quarter of the 19th century by Ernst Ziller for the industrialist Achilleas Koupas. A fourth floor was added in 1931. The restoration notably restores the third floor frescoes which had disappeared over the years.

Prog references in film and tv

I always get a little excited when I see a prog reference in a film or tv show. Here are some which come to mind:

Anchorman - Jethro Tull joke

Austin Powers - Alan Parsons Project joke

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (you've likely only seen this film if you're British) - Marillion joke

And of course there's a whole Rush subplot in I Love You, Man

What are some others?

The redevelopment of central Bologna in the early 20th century. Everything here (minus the towers) was built between c.1915 and 1927

In the early 20th century, it was decided to demolish the central neighbourhood of Mercato di Mezzo, known for its dense alleyways and towers, in order to create a series of wide avenues and grand concourses. Architects were encouraged to experiment with numerous styles, including art nouveau, eclecticism, revivalism, vernacular and rationalism.
