A rugged civility

The recently completed curve of the new Visitor Centre in St Davids responded well to some early gloomy weather in this shot. It is a contemporary building but uses a deliberately rugged materials to achieve both a dignified formal feel whilst fitting snugly into it’s environment. Slight disappointment in discovering that these columns are cast and not real stone so it will be interesting to see how they weather in. The benches around the base are a nice feature too though are a little exposed and get wet easily.
