Italy - Turin - Turin University - Campus Luigi Einaudi 06_fisheye_DSC4314
Here's a fisheye photo of the Norman Foster designed Turin University Campus Luigi Einaudi. There was little I could do about the flare from the Sun but actually I've grown to like it as it adds a bit more drama..........
I wasn't expecting to photograph any contemporary architecture in Turin and then we stumbled upon this whilst walking along the river. I was having fun photographing it with my 8mm fisheye lens when a rather over-officious security guard turned up and asked if we had permission........ These shots are dedicated to you.

From the Foster and Partners website : "Uniting the faculties of Law and Political Science within a single, modern campus for 5,000 students, the project has created flexible new facilities for Turin University, as well as establishing new connections between the institution and wider community. The design links the former Italgas site on the southern bank of the River Dora with the neighbourhood of Borgo Rossini, regenerating a formerly industrial quarter close to the historic heart of the city, and turning the former source of Turin’s energy into an educational powerhouse to drive future prosperity.
The design is a modern interpretation of the traditional cloistered quadrangle, formed of two linked buildings, unified by a single roof canopy and arranged around a central courtyard. A new four-storey library is located on the northern edge of the site, parallel to the River Dora, with the Law and Political Science faculties to the south – each faculty has its own entrance from the central courtyard."
