Details of the renovated facade of the former West Toronto Collegiate school, built in 1972. The building re-opened in September 2012, as two schools, École secondaire catholique Saint-Frère-André and École secondaire Toronto Ouest. The site where the school stands used to be an old Eaton's Delivery Truck Depot.

Christo and Jeanne-CLaude’s new temporary work : Arc de Triomphe Wrapped, Paris
In capturing this architectural detail, I wanted to strip away all distractions and focus purely on the power of geometric form. Working in black and white allowed me to emphasize the stark contrast between light and shadow, creating a nearly abstract composition from a concrete architectural element. The diagonal positioning was intentional - I wanted to create a sense of upward movement, as if the structure was reaching toward the darkened sky. I carefully positioned myself to capture the repetitive pattern of the architectural fins, using them as leading lines to draw the viewer's eye through the frame. The moody sky and careful processing help create a sense of drama and scale. My goal was to transform what might be seen as a simple architectural detail into a striking geometric study that blurs the line between documentary and fine art photography. The interplay of light across the repeated elements was crucial in bringing depth and dimensionality to what could otherwise have been a flat pattern. This image represents my ongoing exploration of how architectural photography can transcend simple documentation to become abstract art while still maintaining its connection to the built environment.

From Basel in Switzerland we crossed the Rhine back into Germany, for that temple of modernist design, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein. A very different aesthetic, reflected in this next series of images, but very much part of the iconography of the region.
Here is another shot of the famous Zaha Hadid Fire Station, on the Vitra campus, an icon of modernist architecture.

I was trying for a good crop of the previous pic for square format but the instagram default crop feature seemed to have done a better job than me! So I've recreated the "insta-crop" here :)
The actual Instagram crop.
