DC Brutalist Architechture

The bells and intersecting lines of the Third Church of Christ Scientist Building.

Curved bells add visual texture to the flat surfaces.

Contrast of light and shadow. Vanishing point window.

Blue sky reflected in angular windows with intersecting lines.


Straight lines, angles, and the interplay of curves.

Balcony trying to leap out of the frame.

Promenade with columns enhanced by depth of field with concrete detail. 

Forced perspective with shallow depth of field.

Trees framing typography on angular wall.

Detail of concrete with remnants of original wood form. Highly saturated colours.

Multi-levelled cascading angular forms. 

Windows reflecting nature, framed by tree, with angular sawtooth form.

A jagged structure on the edge of a verdant neighbourhood utilizing forced perspective and rule of thirds.

Geometric windows floating above blossoms in the golden hour.

Library tower in warm light in right third of frame.

Geometric levels abstracted  by perspective.
