Last week while visiting the Art Gallery WA to see the Perth Brutal: Dreaming in Concrete exhibition I took the opportunity to take a couple of shots of the gallery's twisting central staircase. The art gallery itself, built in 1977 in the Brutalist style, might be considered simple and perhaps even severe, but a quote by Executive Architect Tadeusz Andrzejaczek 'the main purpose of our work is to create a suitable environment
for enticing visitors to the works of art. It is not the purpose of the
building to compete with the works which it shelters' makes sense. Personally I find the hexagonal shapes of the gallery a calm and inviting space, if it's good enough for natures supreme architects, it's more than good enough for we mere humans :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
I do love spiral staircases, and this one's a beauty.
ReplyDelete...contents may be important, but the staircase is a BIG WOW!
ReplyDeleteThe spiral stairs are so amazing! But I admit, when I'm all the way up, I have to breathe deeply ...
ReplyDeleteWell, what do you expect from a granny? 😅
Wishing you a great Wednesday! 🤗
While not a fan of brutalist architecture, I love your photo of the spiral stairs. It is compelling to look at.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a much tighter spiral from above. Beautiful staircase.
ReplyDeleteWow, very nicely done on these photos. That stair case is beautiful in so many ways. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Brutalism when it is done well but it often isn't. One of my favorite houses in the city is Brutalist. I like that staircase a lot, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThe spiral staircase is a winner, Grace. Nice photos, a job well done!
ReplyDeleteSpiral staircases make for great photos. Well done. Hope the coughing stops for both of us very soon!!! Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a great staircase! When I was a kid my dream house was going to have a spiral staircase 🙂
ReplyDeleteWhile I am not a great fan of brutalist architecture, the interior of the gallery looks nice, or maybe it is the skill of the photographer.
ReplyDeleteLooks great.Spiral staircase Amazing.
ReplyDeletenow this is something I can appreciate, art that symbolizes nature is very soothing and makes me ponder.
ReplyDeleteYes copying natures patterns is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWise words, Grace and a beautiful staircase indeed (though the view from above... weee....).
