Walking around Southbank area and changing my way a little bit to quiter area for visitors, I've been drawn to this building- Queen Elizabeth House on York road. It always interested me how come it's so 70's looking office building, next to one of the biggest main link transport stations never been renewed and still stays there in a big contrast to glamourous and newly built buildings nearby. Like a ghost from the past reminding it everytime.
When I started to research a little about its history, it turned out to actually planned to be renovate/rebuid into three towers, so called "three sisters"- very hi-tech architecture. And it was refused by the designer who owned the building, saying it would be a disgrace for such a building reminding it's past just be scraped from the grounds.
Then I started to think- what aspects makes building fascinating? What detail I would have to enhance to communicate with audience, for them to understand it's beauty too? Would illusion could be a good way of passing a message to the audience?
