Industrial Cathedral
Taken during this year's Open House. Impressive but difficult to photograph given the breadth of dynamic range. HDR was the way to go. Haven't used the technique for a long time now. Also resisted the black and white conversion. Maybe for another time.
The Lloyd's building (also called the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London. It is located on the former site of East India House in 1 Lime Street, in London's main financial district, the City of London. The building is a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior.
Twenty-five years after completion in 1986, the building received Grade I listing in 2011; it was the youngest structure ever to obtain this status. It is said by English Heritage to be "universally recognised as one of the key buildings of modern times.
