EDIT: I CAN'T SEE THE IMAGE ON MY SCREEN, CAN YOU?
i've included the link...hmmm weird.



this is not distorted due to the lens (well..not that much)
his buildings typically have exaggerated angles.

after walking around on campus today (UC Davis) i've discovered that i really enjoy taking shots of architecure.

i really like this image...
comments? thoughts? etc?

What is the building used for? It has sort of a jailhouse feel; not many windows. That is one blue sky! Definitely some exaggerated angles! Thanks for sharing.

the social sciences and humanities building
that link looks like a lot to read (if you're just a browser)...
but it is pretty interesting.

one of the things the architect did was to make it confusing to find your way around...so that you'd have to interact with people to ask directions...the point of social interaction...the building's use.

interesting.

give it a read.
thanks for looking at the pic...it was my first attemt at photographing architecure.
