The Rookery Building — Day 103
Architecture bring together two of my favorite subjects: geometry and design. Of all of human kinds achievements, without architecture, we would still be living in caves, huddled around fires, and at the mercy of nature. Not only have we found ways to survive in every climate of the world through out creations of building but brought one of humanity most noble qualities, art and design to what otherwise would simply be function.
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”
Chicago is one of the architectural capitals of the world and I could not have been more excited living here this month for this theme but I was also fortunate to spend a week in Mexico City which has an incredible list of buildings, both ancient and modern, worthy of being captured in photographs.
With only thirty days in April, it was a challenge to decide which photograph each day to feature — there are so many that have not been shared. In Chicago alone, I’ve only scratched the surface of architectural beauty, not to mention Mexico City. I could photograph either city all year long and never find all the treasure.
No doubt I will continue photographing architecture throughout the year but enjoy this months series of external, internal, and architectural detail photographs.
