In this minimalist architectural study, I focused on how light plays across concrete surfaces to create subtle gradients and sharp edges. The composition explores the dialogue between rigid geometric forms and the flowing nature of light.
Hudson Yards’ glass towers and the Empire State Building glow at dusk across the Hudson River, with window light and faint reflections carrying the skyline into the water.
You've evolved, made your presence felt, but finally reached the edge - now what?
Underneath the sea wall promenade at Folkestone UK are a series of supporting arches and entrances, and some have been carefully decorated with strong black geometric shapes. On the concrete support of one of these arches I came across a rather contemplative, competently rendered piece of circular 'urban art',
plus Mr. H Simson himself adding a touch of humor.
I decided to create a mirror image concoction using four elements - a drainage hole was added for good measure.
A sculpture/ assemblage that took a long time to get right. It is made from vintage Cuisenaire rods (used to teach Maths). The difficulty I discovered is that each extra piece you add changes the composition so you essentially have a sculptural problem as soon as you have about three or four rods. You have to balance the composition and the colours. As you go though, you obliterate most of your earlier work by fixing new rods over the others. As you add more the scale of the rods relative to the whole size of the piece changes so that adds another problem to contend with. On top of that, the whole piece wants to tip over (because I wanted the dynamism of the piece intersecting the floor plane at an angle) so the centre of gravity defines the shape also to some extent. Anyway, a strangely difficult piece (but you wouldn’t think it to look at it). About 400mm tip to base.
I noticed that road signs come in lots of geometric shapes. I've included octagon, triangle, rectangle, square, circle and diamond shaped signs that I saw today.
MiMo or Miami Modern is the name coined by Randall Robinson and Teri D’Amico to describe the architecture that flourished in South Florida from 1945 until the late 1960s.
In their words:
MiMo is not a single style, but rather a confluence that includes the world-renowned Resort glamour of Morris Lapidus, the sublime Subtropical Modernism of Igor B. Polevitzky, and the flamboyant Latin infusion of Enrique Gutierrez, the architect of one of the Southland’s Modernist masterpiece, the Bacardi USA building. The common denominator is a time — the heady decades after the war — and a place — the subtropical environs of South Florida.
Miami Modern is further classified into two distinct strains, Resort MiMo and Subtropical Modernism. The visual “lineage” for both the resort and subtropical versions of Miami Modern can be traced to Miami’s emerging modern movement beginning in the 1930s. Local architects adapted elements of the International, 19 Streamline Moderne and Art Deco styles in their versions of contemporary buildings. Resort MiMo of the 1950s is a product of the experimentations. best represented by the vivid scenographic expressions of Miami Beach architects.
Resort MiMo is associated with the 1950s and 1960s and the influences of Hollywood set design, automobile styling, military jets and the space race. The American fascination with Futurism was a pervasive influence in the designs of Resort MiMo. It was realized in architectural form by acute angles, boomerangs and trapezoidal forms.
Subtropical Modernism was a strain of the modern movement that recognized the needs of a year-round population rather than solely the demands of the winter-resort guests. As a result, designers addressed the humidity and heat of summer by making accommodations for breezy corridors, covered galleries and shady courtyards. Subtropical Modernism also employed elements associated with the International Style of architecture that included glass walls and low-slung lines, flat roofs and wide eaves and free-flowing interior spaces. Many of the motels along Biscayne Boulevard are impressive examples of Resort Miami Modernism.

I can't go in there. Of course not, because it's closed, thanks to the virus. It's still a beautiful building that I can photograph from the outside. That's already something.

Trapezoid quadrilateral, rectangles, ovals, and squares. I was just doodling around in photoshop and decided to try some of the various tools and see what would happen. Well this is what happened. I love intense colors and just had to make them really colorful.

While exploring the Carmes parking structure (Toulouse, France), I was struck by the purity of the lines unfolding before me. I wanted to transcend the purely functional aspect of this space to reveal its hidden artistic dimension. By adopting a tight framing and playing with black and white, I sought to isolate these elegant curves that seem to dance in space. My intention was to transform this everyday environment into an abstract composition where geometry becomes poetry. The conversion to black and white allowed me to emphasize the contrasts and create a refined, almost graphic image that invites the viewer to rediscover the unexpected beauty of our urban infrastructure. In this quest for minimalism, I wanted to show how functional architecture can become a work of art when we take the time to look at it differently.
