Green Reflections – A Glimpse into Valencia’s Urban Structure.

#Valencia #CityOfArtsAndSciences #Architecture #Bridge #Reflection #NightPhotography #LightPlay #ModernArchitecture #UrbanArt #CiudadDeLasArtes

The image shows a nighttime scene underneath a bridge in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences. The modern concrete structure is dramatically lit by green lights. The curved beams and columns create a geometric pattern that is symmetrically reflected in the still water below. In the background, illuminated buildings of the city are visible. The composition appears architecturally complex and futuristic, with strong contrasts between light and shadow.

Shadow Walkers

#ModernArchitecture #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Shadowplay #CreativeSpace #StreetPhotography

The image features two young women from behind as they walk together inside a modern building. The architecture includes smooth wooden and grey curved surfaces, and a complex arrangement of shadows cast on the floor, indicating strong natural light from the side. The scene is in black and white, emphasizing the contrast and geometric lines in the environment. They appear to be engaged in conversation. The setting suggests a contemporary museum or gallery space.

Vitra Design Museum Series Pt. 3,
25.2.2025

-> Pt 1: https://pixelfed.social/p/mustamakkara/807213396653065407

-> Pt2: https://pixelfed.social/p/mustamakkara/807284214961968944

Moving away from the design museum, soon the Vitra Slide Tower by Carsten Höller comes into sight. Unfortunately, at the time of the visit, it was closed.
(I assume everybody who was there took this shot as well.. ;-) )

This image captures a modern architectural interior of a library. The photograph, taken in black and white, emphasizes the geometric shapes and the stark contrasts between the angular and curved elements of the structure. There are two persons featured: one descending a staircase and another observing from an upper level. The style and design suggest a focus on contemporary architecture, possibly emphasizing minimalism and the interplay of light and shadows.

The most spectacular residential building in Lyon #Confluence is certainly the Tour Ycone, the filigree residential tower by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel. With its soft colors and blurred, almost indistinct silhouette, the Tour Ycone nestles into the post-industrial urban landscape between the #Rhône and #Saône rivers. The tower appears to be loosely assembled from fragile scaffolding and rectangular frames. It looks as if a light breeze could bring this upwardly divergent house of cards crashing down. But a perforated, loosely attached roof forces the airy shape of the tower into a solid form.

This black and white image shows the silhouettes of two people sitting at a table, possibly having a conversation. One person appears to be holding a cup. They are on a balcony or terrace with a geometric, tiled wall as a backdrop. The image conveys a sense of minimalism and modern architecture.

One of the few surviving traditional buildings in the Glasgow'a International Financial Services District just visible between the rather soulless and generic-looking modern buildings which now dominate the area. If it wasn't for survivors like this, you'd never be able to tell which city it was in.

I've yet to come to a conclusion as to whether or not I actually like them, but they're certainly better than many more recent developments, and much of the housing built in the 1960s and 1970s.

Modern tenement style buuldings on Saint Vincent Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. Built in the 1980s or early 1990s (I'm guessing), they feature details, such as oriel windows and arched dormers, which can be found on the city's traditional tenements and townhouses without crossing the line into pastiche territory.

In addition to the ostentatious ornaments of the barocco Romanesco, there are also many examples of a graphically austere façade design in Garbatella. The structure with horizontal and vertical bands and lines reveals borrowings from the ideas of the #Bauhaus. It is particularly striking what special role details play in the design. Inclined roller shutters set dynamic accents. #bnw #architecture #architecturephotography #italy #rome #architektur #architekturfotografie #barocco #modernarchitecture

The image shows a perspective view of a modern architectural hallway. It features large, circular ceiling lights hanging from the ceiling, vertical concrete columns, and glass panels or walls on both sides. The image has a symmetrical composition, emphasizing the repetitive pattern of the architectural elements.

My wife Loes in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp, Belgium, 2024.

My firts post on Pixelfed must of course be a photograph of the two things a hold most dearest in live, apart from my two lovely daughters, and those are: my wife Loes and the mother of all arts…architecture.

It is said that the mirror is the symbol of imagery or of awareness. The mirror has the ability to copy the visible reflections of the world in its own figural reality. Scheler and other philosophers associated mirrors with thought because it is a mental instrument that is the reflection of the universe and enables you to observe yourself. Frequently mirrors emerge in legends and fairytales, showing what happened in the past or what will happen in the future or what is happening now from a very far distance.
The mirror always tells the truth. Without need for the masks we people wear to protect ourselves, mirrors reflect only what they see. In a way mirrors are able to perceive the soul of ourselves, as well as of the people and things surrounding us, as they are without cover. This is partially due to the fact that what we see when we look into the mirror is actually not reality. Rather, the reflection in the mirror is an inverted version of the world we live in. Or is it the other way around?

Glasgow's titanium-clad Imax Cinema, part of the Glasgow Science Centre, looking rather like a giant egg laid by some massive mechanical bird. Designed by Building Design Partnership (BDP), it was opened in 1999.
