Strange | Beautiful

November 20, 2013 by sketchbloom

Alhambra: Hall of the Ambassadors. 1370. Granada, Spain

I have not been doing much art, obviously.

What I have been doing is lots of community outreach, poster design and design thinking, and an inordinate amount of history of architecture presentations :).

In my research, I found these beautiful, strange images.

I organized them in a narrative.

Ca’D’ Oro, Venezia.

Library of Celus. Roman building in Anatolia (Turkey).

El Deir. Petra, Jordan. 1st Century CE.

Taos Pueblo.

Hassan Fathy. New Gourna Village, Egypt. 1945-1948.

Hindu Mandala

Sigirya Lion Rock. Sri Lanka. It should be called Turtle Rock.

William Morris. Textile Design.

…this one is dedicated to Thom.

Sultan Hassan Mosque, Cairo.

View eastward into the Roman Forum.

Darbar Sahib. Sikh Temple. India, 1764.

All images from Global History of Architecture, by Ching et Al.

Ink on tracing paper. Kuwait, January 2010. The scene at the bottom is what I saw-or decided to see- at The Avenues, the most popular malla in Kuwait City. There is nothing like seeing photography and drawings from a trip abroad to make you realize all reality is subjective, and we choose to see what we want to. We just don’t realize it in our own backyard.
