Architect

dictionary: "An architect is a person who plans, designs and oversees the construction of buildings"

That's like saying Picasso put paint on canvas...

 

Where once there was only sky we now have 'The Sky'. - Not just a building occupying space, but an entity becoming part of that space.

In the architect's imagination they envisioned the direct relationship between the physical sky and clouds to the reflected clouds. The soft sky to the Euclidean lines of their structure. - together through their relationship they each achieve presence.

 

photo: a matter of gradation. As a raging storm approached from behind I aimed toward the tranquil blue sky before me. Capturing the east and west, blues turned gray, the air cooled as the breeze angered to a wind.

 

In reality all credit for this photo goes to the architect. I just saw what they wanted me to see.
