Project 1- Research

I have researched mostly on historical buildings like churches and gothic architecture because I personally have a fondness for old buildings...Here are some examples of modern places:


Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur- The building itself is considered to be a symbol of Malaysia's rapid advancement in the technology world and this concept can be somehow illustrated through the neon-like glow from the lights here because of the association of lights, electronics and technology.
The silhouette of palm trees are a smart and effective use of symbolism in the picture because oil palm trees are abundant in Malaysia and represents the country well.
The low-angle shot communicates the height of the towers well while showing the overall structure clearly.




Petronas Twin Towers (indoors)- The use of one-point perspective in this image effectively communicates the length of the place photographed. It creates a sense of being 'pulled' into the ends of the corridor of the Petronas Skybridge. This portrays the actual distance of the bridge through the photograph.





Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California- The perfect symmetry in the image is extremely effective as it reflects the objective qualities that are associated with the scientific studies that are carried out at the research institute. However, the spiritual, subjective domain is also incorporated through the use of the sunlight glow and the ocean horizon beyond. The image is a very powerful one, symbolising the two dominant realms of humanity; the spiritual and the scientific.
