Architectural Photos: Surroundings



This photo is a good example of surroundings because the school looks like it fits in with the nice blues and purples of the sky, it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. The glass roof of the entrance reflects interesting colors and shapes. It fits right in.

Architectural Photos: Angles and Shapes


This photo is a good example of angles and shapes because the stairs have interesting angles in them and the twisting of the halls and rafters.

Architectural Photo:Patterns



This photo is a good example of patterns because you can see the triangle, geometric patterns are all throughout the hall and it gives the interior a sense of jumpiness and energy like an elemntary school should feel.

Architectural Photos:Light


This photo is a good example of light because it sets a relaxing mood with the light bouncing off the red tiles which looks soothing and gives the building a sense of elegance.

Architectural Photos:Detail


This photo is a good example of detail because it shows a good amount of interior of the building, but you still get a good feel for the construction of the inside of the building.

Photo Illustration Preview: Favorite Picture

It didn't really specify how the picture was made but you can tell it was done in photoshop. The picture was created for a story about a legend in Nashville, Illinoise. It's about a women who was left by her groom on her wedding day and now she is said to ride around in the night.
