My photo, Structured Flow is a result of mining the recent archives for photos where I didn’t initially see their potential and came across this photo from Prague. It’s an architectural abstract of a modern building in Wenceslas Square. I really like hos the architectural accents create a beautiful flow to the design. I had…
The WU campus is amazing collection of beautiful and unique university buildings. The architecture at WU has won numerous awards. The buildings are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria. As a result, each building is unique and distinct. However, according to the WU website, “the buildings are all…
The Library And Learning Center at Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien abbreviated as WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business ) is an amazing building. The building is the heart of the university both by its location in the center of the campus but more so by its size and dramatic design. This is saying a lot as…

This is because, unfortunately that is only area I was able to spend much time in during a recent visit. Judging from…
I had heard that the Seattle Public Library – Central Library was a very distinctive and unique building. I thought I’d check it out as I love distinctive and unique buildings. However, distinctive and unique doesn’t always mean photogenic. As I approached the building it just didn’t seem that appealing to me. Maybe it was…
