This is my favorite photograph that I took in Manchester, I think it has it all, subject, depth, materiality. I was really pleased with it.

Manchester Trip

Just some photos from my recent trip to Manchester, I'm from there anyway and know the city like the back of my hand but it was really interesting looking at it from an architectural point and made me see things that I hadn't seen before which was a great insight into 'my town'.

Piccadilly Gardens fountain, I love the way the water mirrors the buildings.

By the Manchester Justice centre, I thought it was a beautiful moment.

I really like the materiality of this Bollard.

Calatrava Bridge.

Urbis centre, amazing glass facade.


Just a glimpse of what we saw, I really enjoyed trying to take good photos too, thinking about form and composition rather than just taking a quick snap.....

Vitruvian Man

Today I watched a documentary about Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian man. It was very interesting in that it highlighted the fact that it was one of the most immediately recognizable diagrams in the world and immediate conveyed the point that he was trying to make.


Therefore I think its an amazing piece of work and something to draw inspiration from when trying to create simple yet elegant diagrams that describe a scheme.

Just something Interesting...

The Tate Gallery: Liverpool

Went to Liverpool today to Visit some buildings..... there'll be a post about that later. But I thought I do a post especially for the Tate Museum which we also went too....


I found it a really interesting experience, some of the exhibitions I thought were quite average where as others I was very impressed by. One of the rooms for the DLA Piper series: This is sculpture involved wearing a headset and listening to a playlist of strange music while taking in groutesque statues, the experience was quite surreal and engaging experience. It completely focused your attention. Another of the exhibitions involving the works of the poet loriette Carol Anne Duffy involved interactive poetry which I thought was quite novel.

Overall It was a really enjoyable experience and was very valuable as a precedence study for my Heritage Museum.
