buildings

staircase

it’s the whole inside-outside thing of modern buildings. outside staircases, outside reception areas captured in massive areas of glass to stop the elements.
why not just have the desks and offices outside and save building the building ?
obviously you’d need a few paper weights to stop your papers blowing away. but we can work on that.

the future seen from the past

this building must have been revolutionary when it was plopped in this park in cottingham near hull.
but now it looks slightly out of date. but still strangely futuristic.

wet watertower

water-towers sometimes seem a bit pointless in the UK. it rains all the time anyway, so why do we bother storing it up ?
if you live in the UK you’ll probably have seen the flood map which i find fascinating (but only because we’re not in a flood area).
