Chateau de Chambord
Chateau de Chambord history
Reported to have been designed, or at least influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, who spent the final three years of his life in France, Chambord is modelled on the classic Italian renaissance palace, and signalled the advent of the Renaissance in France. The site had been occupied for centuries by the Counts of Blois, who owned the land since the 10th Century, before becoming the property of the crown in 1491.
Building work was first begun by Francis I, who was known as the first Renaissance King, in 1519. Chambord was one of several chateaux which he built during his reign. It allowed the French King to explore his passion for architecture, whilst also providing a base to allow him to indulge in his other great passion of hunting.
Francis spent considerable time and effort building Chambord, although he reputedly only lodged there for 42 days out of his 32 year reign. A total of 1800 construction workers were engaged at Chambord for fifteen years, although Francis did not live to see the ultimate completion of the chateau

Que ce tableau est émouvant Oui tous ces grands-parents partis sans un dernier baiser, un dernier regard, tenus à l'écart comme des pestiférés. Ce tableau exprime tant de douleurs, l'inhumanité imposée . Et quel talent, on ressent tant d'émotions

Cette peinture a été réalisée en l’honneur de tous les grands-parents décédés de la Codvid 19 et qui n’ont pas réussi à dire au revoir à leurs petits-enfants
How moving is this painting Yes, all these grandparents left without a last kiss, a last look, kept away like plague victims. This painting expresses so much pain, the imposed inhumanity. And what talent, we feel so many emotions
This painting was made in honor of all the deceased grandparents of Covid 19 who failed to say goodbye to their grandchildren

Yeah and we have the life of the artist himself. Every day was not the same, things where happening. Drama and all that. When we look at the art we see the finished art, but in reality the art was in the process overtime. Every time the artist was a different person with every new day of work. When we look at the real human art we don't see the process which is hiding in the details, we don't see the story, but it is definitely there.

Cet arbre à Buenos Aires en Argentine est si grand qu’une statue a été créée pour soutenir sa plus grosse branche. Atlas, le titan de la mythologie grecque, était condamné à porter le poids du monde sur ses épaules. Cette statue pourrait être une sorte de clin d’œil le représentant, portant le poids des branches du plus ancien gommier de Buenos Aires, remplaçant l’une des colonnes de béton. La statue est composée à 85% de restes de voitures. Le gommier a été planté en 1781 par Don Martín José de Altoaguirre et se trouve dans le quartier de la Recoleta. Il est connu sous le nom de « Gomero de la Recoleta ». L’arbre a depuis, beaucoup grandi au fil des ans. Il a une envergure de 50 mètres, le tronc a un diamètre de 1,5 mètres, les branches mesurent 28 mètres de long et l’arbre mesure environ 20 mètres de haut. Magnifique symbole en tout cas !
This tree in Buenos Aires, Argentina is so tall that a statue has been created to support its largest branch. Atlas, the titan of Greek mythology, was doomed to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. This statue could be a sort of nod to him, bearing the weight of the branches of the oldest gum tree in Buenos Aires, replacing one of the concrete columns. The statue is made up of 85% car remains. The gum tree was planted in 1781 by Don Martín José de Altoaguirre and is located in the Recoleta district. It is known as “Gomero de la Recoleta”. The tree has since grown a lot over the years. It has a wingspan of 50 meters, the trunk has a diameter of 1.5 meters, the branches are 28 meters long and the tree is about 20 meters high. Beautiful symbol in any case!

I downplay the impact of AI generation of creative articles. For AI, everything is about the training set. Currently the training sets of all AI models that I am aware of use human generated inputs.
You can train a music AI on all possible classical music and it will never generate New Orleans Jazz. You can train an image AI on all possible Renaissance artists but it will never generate an impressionist painting in the style of Van Gough.
Generating AI can never "step outside its box" (i.e. the training set). ChatGPT is just a very clever text generation program. It does not "create".
The American Radiator Building (called the American Standart Building) is an Art Deco and Neo-Gothic style building located in New York City in the United States in the borough of Manhattan. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 7, 1980. It was designed in 1924 by architects Raymond Hood and André Fouilhoux. It has 23 stories and is 103 meters tall. It is a 23-story building. Wikipedia

Le somptueux et fascinant Palais Des Vents en Inde. 
Le Palais des Vents, également connu sous le nom de Hawa Mahal, est un bâtiment situé à Jaipur, dans l'État du Rajasthan, en Inde. Construit en grès rouge et rose, c’est l'une des merveilles de l'architecture radjpoute . Son histoire fascinante remonte au XVIIIe ème siècle.
Construit en 1799 par le Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, ses fenêtres jali (sorte de treillis) permettaient aux femmes de la famille royale de voir les activités de la rue sans être vues elles-mêmes, conformément aux coutumes de l’époque de ségrégation des femmes.
Le Palais des Vents, avec ses cinq étages et ses 953 fenêtres, est conçu de manière à permettre une circulation optimale de l'air à travers le palais, ce qui explique pourquoi il est connu sous le nom de "Palais des Vents".
Le vent qui souffle à travers les fenêtres procure une agréable sensation de fraîcheur à l'intérieur du palais, même pendant les mois d'été chauds du Rajasthan.
Aujourd’hui, le Palais des Vents est devenu une des grandes attractions touristiques de Jaipur qui émerveille les visiteurs du monde entier.

The sumptuous and fascinating Palace of the Winds in India.
The Palace of Winds, also known as Hawa Mahal, is a building located in Jaipur, in the state of Rajasthan, India. Built in red and pink sandstone, it is one of the marvels of Rajput architecture. Its fascinating history dates back to the 18th century.
Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, its jali (a sort of latticework) windows allowed women of the royal family to view street activities without being seen themselves, in keeping with the customs of the era of female segregation .
The Palace of the Winds, with its five floors and 953 windows, is designed in such a way as to allow optimal air circulation through the palace, which is why it is known as the "Palace of the Winds".
The wind blowing through the windows provides a pleasant feeling of coolness inside the palace, even during the hot summer months of Rajasthan.
Today, the Palace of Winds has become one of the great tourist attractions of Jaipur which amazes visitors from all over the world.
