This incredible structure is a testament to all, and the resilience of Freedom..
This should be the last WDCH shot I'm posting here on my stream. Hope you guys have enjoyed this series as much as I did. Happy midweek to everyone.
The „Twist“ is a 1,400-square-meters structure spanning a river in the middle of the Kistefos sculpture park.
The museum at Kistefos, designed by the architects of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), opened in September 2019. Kistefos is located ca. 70 km northwest of Oslo, Norway.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
The Design Museum, Kensington
I’ve been here a couple of times and it has been quite worthwhile. The Museum itself is full of items, some common place, some right out there, I enjoyed the visits. There are a few other places nearby, such as The Kyoto Gardens, The Lord Leighton Museum, The Albert Memorial and Kensington Gardens. You can easily spend a full day here. This is the last of two postings.
A variation on my previous photo. The emphasis is on the stairs leading into the sky and the crosshatched reflections of light from the buildings' windows.
the city of arts and sciences in valencia, a cathedral of glass and steel, where light dances with geometry. the morning sun throws bold shadows across the floor, lines cutting through space like verses in a poem. figures walk in the distance, caught between the present and the timelessness of this architectural wonder.
the dome looms to the left, a silent guardian, while the vast windows frame the city outside, a world of modernity juxtaposed with human stillness. it feels like a theater, the shadows the actors, the light the script. you step into it and are part of the story, even if just for a fleeting moment.
two figures in the threshold between silence and light. the walls reflect them without distortion, but also without truth. whatâs real â the gesture, the stance, the shape â is doubled, not clarified. the space is geometry, the light is clean, but the moment remains ambiguous. this is where conversation meets architecture. or where nothing happens at all â and thatâs why it stays.
the city of arts and sciences, valencia. a place where architecture becomes art and light dances on water. amidst the bold geometry and mirrored surfaces, a mother walks with her child. her red stroller, a defiant splash of color, speaks of humanity in a world of lines and shadows.
i was standing in the quiet terminal of palma de mallorca airport when i saw the sunlight slicing through the facade like a metronome. time slowed down. people moved like silent punctuation marks between one place and the next. the reflections on the floor doubled their presence, creating a ghostly echo of motion and stillness. three figures walked away, shadows stretched into rhythm, and the scene felt like a minimalist fugue played in light and glass.
Somewhere in Manchester
I’ve been meaning to shoot this building since the day it was completed. So, on my way to meet up with Eddie and Pete I made a detour to shoot it. Not the most interesting of structures or creative use of space I hear you mutter. However, the mundane can be made to look interesting. Obviously not most people’s idea of great design, but architecture has been forced to look at itself in recent years and I think it is all the better for it.
My reason for posting this little snippet goes back to a building I came across in 2010. If you ever saw Thomas Heatherwick’s UK Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 then you appreciate the sheer genius and beauty of his design. At first glance it looks nothing more than a furry cube… but delve deeper and uncover the concept behind the cube and I’m sure you’ll agree.
Now… back to the image, any ideas what it is, or where it is?
The Gallery - created in 1880 - is now housed in a glass and granite building designed by architect Moshe Safdie. It opened in this Sussex Drive location in 1988. Meandering through its high-ceilinged rooms and between great granite columns, you feel a bit like you're wandering in a stylized temple built to honor modernity.
Spreading its wings like a bird of prey in the noonday sun: the Hyatt Regency hotel in Düsseldorf's media harbor district.
from the dark tunnel of the station, a lone figure climbs toward the shimmering lattice above, each step pulling him further from shadow into the fractured glow of the city’s spine.
in the cathedral of modern silence, a solitary figure drifts beneath white ribs of steel and shadow — each step absorbed by the architecture’s pulse, each line a whisper of order against the vast hush of space.
within the striking architecture of the oculus in new york city, a lone figure walks through the interplay of light and shadow on the tiled floor, caught between worlds of clarity and mystery. the sharp lines and dramatic contrast of the space create a delicate balance — a dance between presence and absence, reality and abstraction. as she moves forward, her silhouette merges with the dark shadows, suggesting both purpose and anonymity. the soft transitions of light invite the viewer to ponder: is she stepping into the light or fading into the darkness? a moment of introspection and hidden stories unfolding in one of the city's most iconic spaces.
the air is still, the metal silent. the bridge floats between two worlds, a thin line between past and future. one figure, small against the weight of steel and time. does she cross, or does she hover?

Between steel and glass, the staircase rises like a sculptural vein at the heart of the crane house. The protruding structures catch the light, turning the architecture into something almost abstract – an urban geometry revealed only at second glance.

Zwischen Stahl und Glas erhebt sich das Treppenhaus wie eine skulpturale Ader im Herzen des Kranhauses. Die oberen Gebäudeteile fangen das Licht und lassen die Architektur fast abstrakt wirken – eine urbane Geometrie, die man erst auf den zweiten Blick erkennt.
The Steintor U-Bahn station in Hanover features a distinctive architectural design created by the Milanese designer Alessandro Mendini in 1997. This station is known for its bold black and yellow checkerboard pattern, which creates a striking visual impact. Mendini's design consists of two narrow, identical structures facing each other, with a passage opening in the middle. The roofs are topped with yellow pointed hats, further adding to the unique appearance of the station​ (Source: regiopia.de + + + regiopia.com).
