UK - London - Photo24 2018 - The Monument Building 03_sq mono_DSC_2113
A square crop of my previous upload of the aluminium fins that 'decorate' the front of the Make Architects Mounument Building.
This is my second attempt at a B&W version and I'm a lot happier with this one....... I've also turned the image through 90 degrees to emphasize the abstract nature of the image.

From Make Architects website : "Built to commemorate the Great Fire of London, the Monument is one of the City’s most famous landmarks. We’ve designed its newest neighbour: a top-quality commercial building with nine floors of Grade A office space, plus ground-floor retail and office provision and a spectacular roof terrace.
The unique site demands a unique architectural response, one respectful of the Monument and its rich locale. As part of our redevelopment, we’ve reshaped the site’s building lines to create an improved Monument Yard, enlarging the public realm and enhancing the setting of the Monument at once.
The east, west and north chequerboard facades are made of Jura stone and bronze anodised aluminium. Altogether the building has only 45% glazing, contributing to its BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.
Each of the 69 twisting fins is made up of 9 individual pieces for improved buildability. Overall there are four different types assembled in a pattern that creates a fluid but apparently randomised surface."
