“GO ROUND IN CIRCLES III” 🚇 A heavenly metro station: My previous post of Budapest’s über-modern Ter Szent Gellert underground station was shot from its far end. Here is a more geometrically-aligned view looking the opposite way. (Architects: @sporaarchitects, 2014). #nlstevenInBudapest

• GO ROUND IN CIRCLES II • 🌀 A heavenly carpark: Parc des Célestins discovered in Lyon, France. The mirror installation at the bottom, known as "Sens top dessous" and designed by Daniel Buren, even rotates! #nlstevenInLyon

“GO ROUND IN CIRCLES (I)” 🌀 A heavenly stairway: the Miles Stairs of the West Wing section of Somerset House in London. (Architects: Clifford Chapman & Eva Jiricna Architects,2013). #nlstevenInLondon

“ON A ROLL” 🚇 A space-tech underground crossing at the Wilheminaplein tunnel in Rotterdam. The illumination here follows the traveller with multi-coloured light throughout the tunnel. (Architects: Zwarts Jansma Architects, 2005). #nlstevenInRotterdam

• DEEP WEB • 🕸A roof view that never ceases to amaze: London’s King Cross Station, designed by @JohnMcAslanPartners, 2012. #nlstevenInLondon

”There is a reason we don’t see our world in black and white.” (Celerie Kemble). 🌈 I don’t think I have shot architecture more colourful than this: the La Defense complex in Almere, The Netherlands which houses the district’s tax office. (Architects: #UnStudio @UNStudio_Architecture, 2004). …….. #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #archdaily #sonyimages #wonderfulplaces #colorpop #createcommune #passionpassport #creative_architecture #raw_architecture #agameoftones #archi_unlimited #tv_pointofview #lookingup_architecture #ig_ometry #leagueoflenses #skyscraping_magic #srs_buildings #buildingswow #icu_architecture #popyacolour #tv_tinypeople #visualambassadors #splendid_visuals #tinypeopleinbigpeople. ........

•THE EAGLE HAS LANDED • 🏊🏻♂️ Awe-inspiring: the space-tech design of the London Aquatics Centre in London, which was created by the late #ZahaHadid @zahahadidarchitects in 2004, and used as one of the main venues of the 2012 Summer Olympics. #nlstevenInLondon

•THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY • 🔘 A perennial London favourite: here’s a reflective view of the main gallery of the Victoria & Albert Museum through my lens. Did you know that it is the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, with over 2 million objects in its permanent collection? (Architect: Captain Francis Fowke, 1857). #nlstevenInLondon

• LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME • 💧 London’s latest mall development: Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross is constructed from two converted 19th-century coal warehouses that reach out and touch one another. A little winter rain splash here doesn’t hurt. (Architects: Thomas Heatherwick Studios, 2018). #nlstevenInLondon

• REVERSE ENGINEERING • ♾ Symmetry frenzy: the balconies of the atrium lobby of the Holiday Inn Atrium in Singapore. (2015 refurbishment by Eco-ID). #nlstevenInSingapore

• CHAIN REACTION • A space of light and knowledge: #ZahaHadid’s futuristic creation in #Montpellier, France known as PierresVives, which contains a library, archives and sports facilities. .#nlstevenInMontpellier

• CROWDED HOUSE • 🌃 Not an ideal living space but this is how they do it in #Macao, China. It does look pretty in the blue/purple hour light though. ........ #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #archilovers #architecturedaily #archdaily #travelphotography #wanderlust #travel #tv_pointofview #splendid_visuals #creative_architecture #raw_architecture #lookingup_architecture #skyscraping_architecture #arquitecturamx #archi_unlimited #tv_pointofview #srs_buildings #buildingstylesgf #sky_high_architecture #createcommune #fubiz #passionpassport #jj_community #royalsnappingartists. ..........

• ONE-STOP SHOP • 🏮 An aerial view of Hong Kong’s Temple Street Night Market. This is where traders, opera singers and fortune tellers come together to sell their goods and services. It can’t get more local than this. ......... #travelphotography #wanderlust #travelblogger #streetclassics #streetframe #createcommune #passionpassport #fubiz #beautifuldestinations #cnntravel #travellingthroughtheworld #myfeatureshoot #artofdestinations #lonelyplanet #theimaged #discoverhongkong #natgeotravel #hongkonginsta #jj_community #agameoftones #visualambassadors #rustlord_unity #tv_pointofview #IAmATraveler #splendid_visuals. ........

• STAY ON TRACK • 🚞 Catching the morning sun at Bangkok’s Hua LamPhong Station. (Architect: Mario Tamagno, 1916). #nlstevenInBangkok

• PERSPECTIVES • 📐I came across this simple yet effective wall painting at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen @Boijmans in Rotterdam by @JanvanderPloegStudio. Jan painted this mural using the effects of natural light of the corridor next to the museum’s inner courtyard and distinctive colours to emphasise the 3D aspects of the surrounding space. #nlstevenInRotterdam
