Simple Abstract 262

Detail shot of Whittle Arch, public art installation in Coventry, England. It is dedicated to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventor of the turbojet engine, who was born in Coventry.

 

The arches are one of two steel complex torsion structures built in 2003 designed by architects MacCormac Jamieson Pritchard.

 

I believe they were designed to resemble vapour trails.

 

The building through the arch is 'Millenium View', student accomodation in Coventry, England.

Architects: Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson.
