@LuisDurazo (A Glimpse Into How Other Architects See the World Around Them)
Posted: January 20, 2012 Filed under: Architecture, More FC3, Photography, Social Media | Tags: Architect, architectural, Architecture, Expose, Instagram, JustArch, Luis, Photography, Social Media 4 CommentsRecently I met an aspiring Architect on Instagram who is able to evoke powerful Architectural images through his photographs.
When I asked Luis Alfonso Durazo Ballesteros (AKA @luisdurazo on Instagram) whether he would like to be featured on my blog he humbly accepted.
One of my personal favorites — Twin parking meters on 104th Street. Downtown Edmonton.
The main reason I like to share his work is because it offers my audience a greater understanding about who I am (as an Architect/Artist) and how I see the world.
Although Luis is able to capture his subjects in a different way, there are similarities that probably exist because of our similar educational backgrounds.
The following is a sampling of his work. The captions were provided by Luis in his own words.
-
- My favorite LRT station in Edmonton. A neat arrangement of lights and reflections.
-
- I found this while I was waiting for a traffic light to turn green in Downtown Edmonton. Instantly loved the perspective.
-
- Looking up to a couple street lights on 104th Ave. and 109th St. Downtown Edmonton. Things can be very different when seen from the right perspective.
-
- A medium-sized bell contrasting against the sky in front of the “All Saints’ Anglican Cathedral”. Edmonton AB.
-
- Twin parking meters on 104th Street. Downtown Edmonton.
-
- MacEwan University Towers from below.
-
- Took this photo from the “inside” of a sculpture located outside of the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
-
- Street Clock in downtown Seattle.
-
- Experience Music Project in Seattle designed by Architect Frank Gehry. Textures and colors are unbelievable.
-
- Downtown Seattle was an incredible place to walk around. I loved its mixture of historic, contemporary, and cultural sensations.
-
- A thin line of sky separates these two buildings on 104th Street. Downtown Edmonton. It’s actually not that easy to see if you’re not paying enough attention.
-
- Pedways are a must in a city where temperatures drop down to the -30s in the winter. Edmonton AB.
As you can see from this gallery Luis is able to elegantly capture how Architects see the world around them — symmetries, colors, shapes. He is able to convey emotion of mind and spirit through his unique vision and creativity.
I am honored to be on of Luis’ colleagues and I look forward to seeing more of his work as he continues to explore, design, and construct the world around him and us.
If you like this post please share it.
