Large Scale Inspiration

brissie building facade

 

I didn’t crop any of this pic because I wanted you to get a sense of scale.  This magnificent building facade is one in downtown Brisbane – and like an idiot, although I was walking, it was at speed with a couple of long legged guys so I didn’t stop to cross the road and see what the building was – there’s no huge sign up on the front – but someone  in Brisbane may let me know.  It doesn’t concern me too much though – because it is the magnificent pattern,  like isobars or isoheights;  iso- whatevers are lines that join points having equal value of some kind – altitude, degress of temperature, etc etc.  I think this is truly magnificent and feel I would have a lot in common with the architect who designed this spendid decoration for an otherwise  unremarkable building.  Perhaps it was a revamp, facelift or something …  I sometimes post ‘archtectual oddities’ but while this is architectural, it’s definitely not odd.

    You’re so right, it needs to have that sense of scale – what a great facade!
