I agree most every building created has it's purpose, but I'm not so much a fan of that style, they are pretty enough, but they just don't make me stop and turn around and say ...wait a minute! You though have given this building quite the glory in on simple photo!!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-82880293534691682782011-07-07T16:28:50.803-04:002011-07-07T16:28:50.803-04:00We've just returned from London, where there&#...We've just returned from London, where there's quite a lot of strange modern architecture, like the famous "Gherkin" and the "Shard" that is being built right now. It's always amazing to see the contrast between the old and the new, but in London, where the old can be very old, it's particularly unsettling. I have a picture of the Gherkin here:<br />http://doves2day.blogspot.com/2011/07/travel-lessons.html<br /><br />and I'm planning to post some photos of the "Shard" rising up behind the Tower of London.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-63999360433122250522011-07-07T10:22:21.651-04:002011-07-07T10:22:21.651-04:00It could even be a picture of a mesh fence.It could even be a picture of a mesh fence.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-60771679909247647732011-07-07T09:39:52.677-04:002011-07-07T09:39:52.677-04:00Hmm what do I see... looking closely... Well the r...Hmm what do I see... looking closely... Well the rightmost (at the top) metal framework bar seems to have two chips along the full length of the bar. One in the third visible section, and one in the ninth visible section, from the top. <br /><br />All joking aside though, this seems to be along the same lines as "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". I for one do like the look of modern buildings, the clean, minimalistic look is very neat and organized. I find it reflects the views of our modern society, ruthlessly efficient. <br /><br />Rutglessly efficient businesses are the only ones that that can make it in this day and age. There is less and less room for the old mom-n-pop shops, akin to the gargoyles and unneccessary frivolousness of the architecture of days gone by.<br /><br />This is sad but there is a silver lining to even the blackest of clouds. With increasing efficiencies incorporated in almost every facet of our modern lives, we are advancing as a civilization faster than ever. <br /><br />Hopefully I'm not double posting here...Marco Pietrangelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914542702718971208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-46003268337885418272011-07-07T08:35:43.761-04:002011-07-07T08:35:43.761-04:00Well, clean lines and repetitiveness! lol... The c...Well, clean lines and repetitiveness! lol... The cherubs, or gargoyles to me represent history... The person who designed the building w/the cherubs, doric columns, dental molding- is leaving a bit of history for everyone to see.. U ever notice the expressions on gargoyles? there are loads of them in Paris (in that famous garden, which I can't remember). In fact my husband took a pic of me in front of one and said it reflected my mood! yep I was angry at him....:-)Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.com
