The top of the Tampa Airport Marriott, which was once a revolving restaurant, at the Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Florida.
inside the new Port authority path station, the Oculus.
This incredible structure is a testament to all, and the resilience of Freedom..
The spiral stairwell at the CitizenM hotel, London. I've seen quite a few takes on this, the first and one of the more notable of which was Aaron Yeoman.

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.
Found this fabulous patterned wall design, in one of the new coffee shops I visited in ottawa! Happy new week my friends, enjoy, stay well =)
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.
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.
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.
Spreading its wings like a bird of prey in the noonday sun: the Hyatt Regency hotel in Düsseldorf's media harbor district.
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.
we were at the museo de las ciencias in valencia. the lines of calatrava's architecture. the light. the reflections. i took a couple of shots, lost in the geometry of the place.

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).
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.
