Room

“All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space
that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.”
Philip Johnson 1906-2005

This is the top of a very tall room… the vertiginous atrium
of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "room". There's still more room in the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Cole for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.

    That really is a neat building. loved the way the light and shadow produced natural chiaroscuro on the walls. In my Bay Area decade 1986-96 SFMOMA and LuLu were the two great SOMA additions. Not so keen on the Jukebox Marriott as Herb Caen called it.

    So true... and beautiful. And, thinking about uggly constructions, may be sad.

    I like the building behind and the sky. Or is that its reflection on the see? Dunno but love it anyway. Thanks!
