The Sydney Opera House is Australia's most recognisable building and is an icon of Australia's creative and technical achievement. Since its completion in 1973 it has attracted worldwide acclaim for its design and construction, enhanced by its location on Bennelong Point within a superb harbour setting.
The design of the building, with its soaring white roof shell shaped sails atop a massive red granite platform, has been internationally acclaimed as an architectural icon of the 20th century. As a dominant sculptural building that can be seen and experienced from all sides, it is the focal point of Sydney Harbour and a reflection of its character.
It is placed right at the end of Bennelong Point, juxtaposed to the harbour and completely to scale in relation to the Harbour Bridge, the sandstone cliff face, Macquarie Street and Circular Quay. Viewed from a ferry, from the air, or by approach on foot, the vision is dramatic and unforgettable.

Apparently it was airflow over airplane wings that inspired the design of the Zaha Hadid designed Winton Gallery at the Science Museum in London.
As much as I enjoyed my first visit to this new gallery, I need to go back when it's a bit quieter as photographing such a space when it's crawling with people is quite a challenge.

From the Science Museum website : "Mathematics: The Winton Gallery is the first permanent public museum exhibition designed by Zaha Hadid Architects anywhere in the world. The gallery is also the first of Zaha Hadid Architects’ projects to open in the UK since Dame Zaha Hadid’s sudden death in March 2016. The late Dame Zaha first became interested in geometry while studying mathematics at university. Mathematics and geometry have a strong connection with architecture and she continued to examine these relationships throughout each of her projects; with mathematics always central to her work. As Dame Zaha said, 'When I was growing up in Iraq, math was an everyday part of life. We would play with math problems just as we would play with pens and paper to draw – math was like sketching.'"

This curvaceous structure at the opened Winton Gallery at the Science Museum might be very eye-catching and photogenic but does rather use up quite a lot of the floor space.......

While exploring La Grande Motte (LGM), I was immediately drawn to the striking geometric pattern of this building facade. The repeating white triangular shapes created a mesmerizing rhythm that begged to be photographed. What truly caught my eye, however, was the solitary palm plant, perfectly positioned within one of the triangular spaces - a rebellious organic element disrupting the strict geometric pattern. I chose to shoot in black and white to emphasize the strong contrast and clean lines, while the careful framing allowed me to create an almost abstract composition where architecture becomes pure geometry. The plant serves as both a point of focus and a gentle reminder of nature's persistent presence in our constructed environments. I waited for soft, even lighting to ensure the shadows would define rather than dominate the geometric shapes, resulting in this clean, graphic interpretation of modern architectural design.

Originally a model home designed by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret and constructed for the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, France, and demolished in 1926. This replica was built by architects Giuliano Gresleri and José Oubrerie in 1977. Bologna, Italy.
