The Jockey Club Innovation Tower, Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
I was mesmerised by the building when I first saw it and I knew right away I had to come back to explore this building with my camera. I was drinking a Japanese beer with a friend of mine who studies at this university; she mentioned that this building is actually designed by the late Zaha Hadid and a lot of people have taken photos of the building but they all look the same. Arrogantly, I immediately said I will come back and take one you have never seen before. I am pretty happy with the result but please call me out if you ever come across a take similar to this dated before 25/11/2016 ;).
Some technical points, this photo was taken at ISO2500, 1/60, f/5.6 with a Sony A7. Sometimes you get these noisy purple-ish tone in the shadows especially when the ISO is starting to be high. However I actually have stopped doing noise reduction in my photos for a long time and I didn't do any noise reduction again with this photo despite the higher than perfect ISO. The point I want to make is that don't be afraid of high ISOs and noise. The purpleish tone from the noise and the refracted street lights are playing an important role with the overall mood in this photo in my opinion. It's also important to note that different cameras have a different level of ISO tolerance so the ISO number I provided is only a reference but the overall main point remains.
Thanks for reading and have a lovely day :),

This amazing building is the design child of famed architect, Dr. Santiago Calatrava. The automatic fins on top of the structure open and close to allow efficient use of available light. This IST (Innovation, Science and Technology) building is home to an ultra fast super computer, a 3D printing lab and a host of additional teaching and learning devices. Oh, and there are a number of very intelligent geeks hanging around, as well, with more on the way.
Science, and Technology (IST) Building is the university's main facility. It houses 26 classrooms, faculty and administrative offices, seven labs–including a 3D printing lab, cybersecurity lab, and health informatics lab.
The building is also home to the school's digital library. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the building includes 94 robotic louvers on the roof that move to accommodate changing sunlight patterns.

This is an image of the main building at Florida Polytechnic University , in Lakeland Florida.
I made the image for the Group 52 weeks , and the assignment was "repeating patterns".
Not my usual landscape . But you can see a Great Blue Heron flying on the right side . The building is surrounded by water . It is a very unusual building, hard for me to capture .

The campus is on a vast farm land north of Lakeland; the architecture is very eye catching to everyone driving on I-4 between Orlando and Tampa. This Saturday I finally turned my curiosity into actions
Meet the IST Building on the campus of Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland, Florida. Designed by Spanish architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava, this is the main university facility.
I've driven by it on the I-4 several times, but today was the first time I've taken a moment to stop. The building has been well-photographed by many, and I'll throw my hat in the ring with this shot, taken Saturday, October 6, 2018.

LAKELAND, Fla. – Florida Polytechnic University’s iconic Innovation, Science and Technology (IST) Building in Lakeland now ranks as one of the 16 “most breathtaking” buildings in the world, according to a survey of architects, placing it alongside iconic structures such as the Parthenon in Greece, the Empire State Building and Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Fallingwater” residence.
Business Insider’s “Tech Insider” magazine surveyed 16 prominent architects, asking each to pick just one structure they fondly think of as “breathtaking.” Architect Marica McKeel of Studio MM worked on the IST Building design and said, “Not only do I love the design of the Innovation, Science and Technology Building, but I feel a real connection to this project and to the Lakeland community as my father grew up in Lakeland and I still frequently visit family there.”
Designed by internationally-renowned architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava, the IST Building is the cornerstone of Florida Poly’s campus and the University’s main classroom and laboratory building. The 162,000-square-foot, white-domed building is a moveable and functional work of art, with a louvered roof system that adjusts with the sun’s angle, surrounded by a ring of curved metal pergolas that shade its outer terrace and walkways.
Calatrava repeatedly breaks new ground in architecture, with soaring designs for a new transit station at the rebuilt World Trade Center, a spiraling “Turning Torso” skyscraper in Sweden and the Peace Bridge in Calgary. Among the numerous awards associated with the IST Building is the distinguished Engineering News Record’s (ENR) Global Project of the Year award.
“The IST Building was created to provide an inspiring, modern atmosphere for learning, collaboration and innovation,” said Florida Poly President Dr. Randy K. Avent. “It’s invigorating to walk into this building each day and work alongside faculty, students and staff in one of the world’s most advanced structures.”
The IST Building houses 26 classrooms, the Aula Magna auditorium, faculty and administrative offices, an 11,000-square-foot Commons area and 11 innovation labs – including a 3D printing lab, cyber security lab and heath informatics lab – where students are able to get hands-on experience with the latest technology. Skanska USA was the lead contractor.
Other top accolades earned by the IST Building include:
2014 Engineering News Record Global Best Project by Engineering News Record
Best Projects: 2014 Project of the Year – Southeast Region, Best Higher Education/Research by Engineering News Record
2014 Metal Construction News Design Award in Metal Building Systems
