Don't Tell Me In A Typhoon They Don't Sway, Lean or Groan - Just a Bit

(Details In The ) (Described by Human)

This is a black and white photo in landscape format looking up at five 57 story apartment blocks. To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong (2016). The camera is set back perhaps fifty metres from the buildings and angled upwards steeply so that the lower floors are hidden below the lower edge of the photo and no other buildings or objects are in view. While there are five blocks: each separate block appears as two blocks that are joined together at a corner. The blocks have a rectangular footprint and are tall and thin. Most of the blocks are viewed so that the thin and long side are in view. The thin sides have a white concrete face on one vertical half interrupted only by a single external air conditioning unit on each floor while the other half has large windows that extend into the corner. The long face of the block is a mix of neat and evenly spaced windows and balconies. The blocks are topped with a dark wide 'V' shaped decorative roof (The reverse shape to a conventional house roof). Around and a

Old & New

(Details In The ) (Described by Human)

This is a black and white cityscape photo in landscape format of an old and weathered low-rise apartment building in the foreground and a very high-rise modern apartment building in the background. To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong (2017). In the foreground, stretching from the left edge of the photo diagonally downwards to the lower right corner, is the front facade of our mid twentieth century apartment block. In reality it's probably mixed use with businesses intertwined with residential spaces. The camera is located on the opposite side of the street, angled upwards and viewing along the front of the facade which appears to be made up of six or more closely spaced buildings with the ground floors hidden beneath the photo. Each block is heavily weathered and once may have been painted white. As is common with this era of building, the types of window, location of external A/C units and drying washing - is totally random. The buildings are low-rise being limited to a maximum of ten floors due
