I didn’t crop any of this pic because I wanted you to get a sense of scale. This magnificent building facade is one in downtown Brisbane – and like an idiot, although I was walking, it was at speed with a couple of long legged guys so I didn’t stop to cross the road and see what the building was – there’s no huge sign up on the front – but someone in Brisbane may let me know. It doesn’t concern me too much though – because it is the magnificent pattern, like isobars or isoheights; iso- whatevers are lines that join points having equal value of some kind – altitude, degress of temperature, etc etc. I think this is truly magnificent and feel I would have a lot in common with the architect who designed this spendid decoration for an otherwise unremarkable building. Perhaps it was a revamp, facelift or something … I sometimes post ‘archtectual oddities’ but while this is architectural, it’s definitely not odd.
I am a fan of architecture and this does not disappoint.
reminds me of the aqua building in chicago, http://www.chicagoarchitecture.info/CAI/Images/200805/Aqua-Oct08-018a.jpg
You’re so right, it needs to have that sense of scale – what a great facade!
