STREET statements

 
I really like the energy and feeling in small street statements. In public spaces, using visual techniques as simple as chalk, topical, non-permanent and often very personal.and human.
 
 
 
Random positive statements
 
 
A mix of messages.

Street ART

 
LOCAL art - in a quest to see great street art ,signage and graphics, I stood on a street corner in Fortitude Valley Brisbane and said I will only venture two streets in either direction and come back with amazing pics. The fruit of my search in those few streets was amazing .
 
 
Retail car park graphics really tell a story'
 
 
Narrow passage between buidings becomes an event.
 
 
Very powerful commercial car park image
 

These are up scale images , my next post from the same walk will show some of the intimate and personal statements found.

THE GREAT WALL

 
We walk and drive past these little masterpieces of built form everyday. Built by local councils, from local stone.
 
STREET ARCHITECTURE- just around where I live
 
 
Brisbane Porphyry - definitely the favourite
 
 
Bluestone - common but looks great.

SIMPLY shelter

 
Really interesting to hit the street and just see the different and very relevant focus used in designing the old school carports/shelters.
Here are a couple near where I live - less definitive architecture, more light weight, inexpensive shelters, that become almost a landscape element .
 
 
Home for a valued friend.
 
 
Transparency is really effective


BIG week

 
It's been a massive week - design is always a consuming passion, and last week got consumed.
 


But now i'm back on track .
Just look at this image and you can be sure - anything is possible !!
