this moment caught in london’s brutalist heart balances solitude and structure — a man framed by the coiled ribs of raw concrete, held in a diagonal beam of afternoon light. the silence of the architecture speaks louder than the subject, as if the building itself paused to breathe. shadow and geometry entwine with human stillness.

The Standard Hotel, King's Cross, London.
This is the Standard Hotel that opened in 2019. The building was erected in 1974 as an annexe to Camden Town Hall. The current conversion from council offices to an hotel was undertaken by Orms @orms_architects, who were responsible for the exterior architecture, the shell and the core. They worked with interior designer Shawn Hausman Design @shawnhausmandesign and interior architect Archer Humphryes.
The interior decor is lavishly decorated in a seventies theme.
Another photo of this car park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, affectionately known as the ‘Cheesegrater’. It was designed by architects Allies and Morrison.

on my way back from the fuller, i spotted a swan and took a gazillion pictures with the BGC, after patty's excellent instruction. i stopped taking pictures of the swan and switched to the grasses on the other side of the "pond". got to get out and practice more!!

Seen in Tarragona, Spain, recently. The walls of neighbouring properties are sprayed when an adjoining building is demolished to protect the fabric from the weather.
This practical process reminded me of sculptures by Rachel Whiteread.

Seattle Art Museum Exhibit, 2018, Washington State, USA.
Goli faces look akin to stop signs that force people to drop what they are doing and pay attention to the arrival of masqueraders who emerge from a forest sanctuary. All-day performances are expected as a means to ease concerns about the social stability of a community at times of crisis. This face was part of the opening act and was worn by a boy who performed erratically to stir up the audience awaiting the excitement of the masquerades to come.
