Caption – cinematic dynamism was generated between art and artist forging “symbiotic relationships

The visual communicates the buildings’ relationship with the context, space and time. The local yellow sandstone used as different styles of surface applications on the façade and flooring creates a dynamism due to the sunlight falling on it in, subtle crescendos of materials, gaining colour and texture from the originality. This lends itself to a dialogue that is at the heart of the architecture. Devoid of artificial façade treatment, form follows function in the geometry of the structure, which emphasizes a harmonious coexistence, not just of the building but with its surroundings. The ability to evoke the roots of a place, reveal construction techniques, connect with nature, and stand out as a unique feature of a project, natural stone elements continue to demonstrate why it has always played a key role in the evolution of construction throughout history and this is captured here. This also explore the symbolic value of architecture in the photographic medium.
