Emergence #5

Some buildings felt like they themselves were the sails, swollen with wind, incrusted with salt and mould.

Weird but interesting building

[FBailey]

Love this, so striking

[gloria jones]

Terrific capture of these intriguing lines

[Clare Gadsby]

elegant lines look good against the irregular fluff of the clouds

[Rob Z]

Structured lines and curves - and then those free as a bird clouds!!

[Jane Pittenger]

Great lines and light

[Ron]

Another great capture of architectural features.

[Graeme Stevens]

brutal

[Elizabeth]

Great curving lines and shadows.

[Leon Buijs]

Great contrasts in the sky, love how the shadow falls on the building creating more contrasts

[Mikel Skoog]

I like the repeating odd number and the clouds. Nice photo Domenico!

@365nick @fbailey @seattlite @pistache @robz @jgpittenger @stray_shooter @graemestevens @redy4et @leonbuys83 @mikelskoog Thank you all so much (and apologies again for the mass reply) - This church was built in the frame of a suburbs requalification program, by archistar Richard Meier. A tragic failure. Not only the suburbs stubbornly remained suburbs; in addition, the construction material - a mixture of a special concrete with white Carrara marble powder - guaranteed to be weather- and pollution-proof, absorbed rain and pollution and is full of stains and mould. A shame!

[Margo Sayer]

Is this a different POV of the previous day's church?
Fascinating cloudscape.

[Richard Sayer]

Rome seems to have cornered the market in adventurous architecture!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@s4sayer no, this is the same of the following day’s!
@vignouse somehow... a shame that all buildings are unfinished.

[Krista Marson]

a la Sydney Opera House.

[Junko Y]

I immediately thought of the Sydney Opera House -- and I see that @blueberry1222 did also!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@blueberry1222 @jyokota maybe it was an inspiration. Certainly it was a very poor execution
