Brian, thanks for the comment! This is - pretty much - looking straight up (if we call the ground the xy-plane, this is looking along the z-axis). --Olaf.dk

Olaf, I like this… even more now that I did a bit of self educating as to what deconstructive architecture is all about. What kept me coming back to look at this is the various shading, strong (non parallel) lines and non-traditional construction. What I find most appealing is how you’ve illustrated one of the concepts of this type of architecture: challenging what we consider ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ as it relates to design (of both the building and this photograph). From what perspective are you looking? Are you looking up at several floors inside the building? Brian
