I like the whole series of photos, but I like this one best because of the contrast of the dark areas of the photo with the light coming in. It makes the color pop, for lack of a better word. :)

Abizaleth . . . glad you like the pop. thanks.

raysto says:

it's a fabulous image of a great piece of architecture. if only all public buildings paid similar attention to the same aesthetics and quality of light
Posted 30 months ago. ( permalink )

Remiss63 says:

yes, raysto, i think you're thinking along the right track. while this building is very expressive and beautiful, it is not a narcissistic example of an architect's ego run amok. exactly the opposite.
Posted 30 months ago. ( permalink )

raysto says:

it reminds me of a building in sussex university, Brighton, UK or Liverpool metropolitan cathedral. Beautiful and supremely functional

I want those windows. That would be a spectacular place to study or work.

raysto . . . i'd love to see photos of the building at Sussex University and the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. do you know when those were built?

Stephanie Asher . . . glad you like the windows. you don't think it would distract you from your studies?

c+d architectes . . . thanks very much !
