This might start out the same as 'Ceramix' but ends up in a distinctly gothic design. Based on a common stone and iron work pattern I've seen in numerous places across Leicester, including a fair few churches.

2013-03-17 - Sometimes I wonder why certain kinds of images just work. There are some guidelines in photography and I guess this one follows a lot of them: rule of thirds, pattern in the background, unified tones, contrasts... Is the combination of all of that the reason I like this photograph?

Quite creative - If I had a place to pave, it would be in this pattern.

Presented are several series of images from a large group of photographs and derived art taken in Atlanta, Georgia. All were taken in the Downtown area, all within several blocks of Centennial Olympic Park. The subject of most of these photographs is cityscapes and architecture, especially the sculptural and geometrical aspects of this civic art.

 

This set shows the art and architecture of the Sun Trust Plaza. SunTrust Plaza is a 60-story skyscraper (869 ft, 265 m), built by prominent American architect and developer John C. Portman, finished in 1992. It is the second-tallest building in Atlanta.

 

The Sun Trust Plaza is adorned with a variety of architectural embellishments and with large architecture scale sculptures. Examples are shown here.

 

(1) Image 01a shows the patios, pools, and lattice eaves around the base of the tower building. Because these structures are so strongly graphical and geometrical, they can be divorced from their real world origins and still be interesting as abstract art, as seen in view 01b which turns the image on its side.

 

(2) Image 02a shows a statue on an outer patio. This work is "Sleeping Woman III", by sculptor Olivier Strebelle, made in 1974. It is seen in front of a portico of the main tower building. Image 02b is an art variation that fades the background to emphasize the polished bronze on its pedestal.

 

(3) Image 03 is a closeup of another statue positioned at the base of the tower, its pedestal arising from a pool of water. Named "Early Mace", it was made by sculptor Charles Perry in 1971. Made solely of regularly spaced and gently curving steel rods, the facets of the statue appear to intersect each other to create Bézier and Moiré patterns. Seen here against the granite façade of the tower, the multiple colors of the metal are reflections of the sky, the tower, and other objects surrounding the site. Image 03a is a wider view that shows the ribs plus an edge of the statue. By zooming in to show just the intersecting ribs, Image 03b eliminates all references to space, orientation, or outer context. This thoroughly abstracts the scene, meaning that it can be turned to any orientation and still be an esthetic or believable image - you can flip it right, left, upside down, or any other orientation to suit your vision.

 

(4) Image 04 shows the statue "The Rites of Spring" by sculptor Elbert Weinberg, erected in 1992. Four views are presented (04b is a crop of 04a; 04c & 04d are independent photographs). The four views were selected to showcase the background elements as much as the statue up front. Both of the buildings behind of cultural and historical significance.

[1] In the midground are the west towers of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (at the corner of Peachtree St and Peachtree Center Ave). This Catholic congregation was founded as in Atlanta in 1880. In 1897, they commissioned a new church building to be designed by prominent southern architect W. T. Downing. Designed in the Romanesque revival style that was popular in turn of the century architecture, the exterior was made of pressed brick and terra cotta, seen in this image in the church’s two bright towers. This basilica plan building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1976, in recognition of its "artistically significant architecture". In 2010, the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was elevated by the Vatican to status of a minor basilica.

[2] In the background is the Imperial Hotel. Designed by architect Edward Dougherty, it was constructed 1910-1911. It is a first generation skyscraper, built of reinforced concrete, 8 stories tall. As seen in these images, it was built in the Chicago style, surfaced with red brick and terracotta, and adorned with bay windows. It was built to support Atlanta’s booming growth in the early 20th century, providing affordable lodging for the business, convention, and tourist trades. Prior to World War II, it was considered one of Atlanta’s leading hotels, notable for amenities such as private baths. It went through various alterations at mid century, and it was vacated in the early 1980’s. A rehabilitation program beginning 1996 refurbished it as low income housing. Its importance to Atlanta and local architectural history is reflected in its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It still has its early and historically significant Otis elevators with all of their original equipment. More information is at these links:
