Architectural Wonders - A Study in Greyscale<br />
Pictures by Alan Griffiths<br />
When we look at buildings, I wonder how many of us<br />
think ‘Boring’.<br />
Of course much of our modern architecture is just that,<br />
boring, comprising a brick or concrete box with a door<br />
and a few windows.<br />
It is interesting to see that when we pulled this study<br />
together, there was only these images of a modern<br />
building.<br />
Even these have the ‘old’ tucked away in the background.<br />
Looking at the older buildings we see a much greater variety of style<br />
and structure, and even the materials from which they are<br />
constructed. All of these elements combine to create interest in the<br />
view.<br />
When we visit cities we tend to<br />
aim the lens to the mega<br />
structures, keeping the nearby<br />
buildings as low key as possible,<br />
but are we right?<br />
We can challenge the traditional<br />
as in the pictures of York Minster<br />
and St Pauls Cathedral.<br />
By using the local buildings we<br />
get a better sense of the area, and<br />
also the desire to see more of the<br />
main building.<br />
