The built environment contrasts with the natural world in one cardinal way—the artificial follows geometry, straight lines, repeating patterns, while the natural, at all but fine scale, follows organic forms and random patterning. Juxtaposition of one with the other creates the appeal of well grown-in urban spaces. This, however, is pure geometry: this is the west-facing side of the experimental medicine building on North Terrace, Adelaide, Soth Australia—commonly known as “the cheese grater” for obvious reasons. Evening light catches the coated windows from the persepctive of the tram stop. The picture was captures on the evening of the 1st of October, 2013, and was only slightly enhanced, with contrast, saturation and sharpness marginally adjusted. Fuji FinePix S5600, automatic.
