Just when you thought I'd exhausted the Blaak 8 building as a subject......... Here I've taken my previously uploaded distorted shot and given it a rotational flip.
This kind of shot is an idea I'm playing with as I start to turn my attention to next years Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibition......

From the
archello.com/project/offices-blaak-8 website : "The structure of a tree with its natural constructional logic, has been the inspiration for the facade design. At the top, where the forces are relatively small, the tree exists of thin twigs. At the bottom, where the forces from the entire crown come together and must be carried, the trunk of the tree looks broad and strong. It is this natural structure that has served as inspiration for the load-bearing facade of Blaak 8. On the lower floors heavy piers reflect the 'tree-trunks' which extend upwardly branching out into smaller piers that reflect the 'tree-tops'. The tower owes its stability to this diagonal fluttering 'branches'. The unconventional facade structure ensures the building to be experienced as abstract from various viewpoints, and from other positions the tree structure to be clearly visible."
