The focus of my photography study is building structure. I have always found the structure of architectural designs fascinating because this piece of the building is the bones of the building. The structure is the true essence of what architecture is. The structure can reveal the form of the building or it can be conceived completely separate from the form. The structure can be the element that withstands time. It can reveal what a building once was when that building has been lost over the years. The structure of a building can also be light, almost weightless. It can seem that a building has no structure at all. However, the structure can also be heavy. It can become prominent and essentially become what the building is. Then the detail work that goes into building structure can be beautiful. This is why building structure has always fascinated me.
