Hello @chocolatescorpi. There's no doubt that the Australian city of Melbourne is a hotbed of theatres and architectural wonders in general. The spectacular Southbank Theatre is definitely a visual feast to behold! Just from its exterior facade, you won't miss the mesmerizing glowing tubes that create the angular interplay of angular lines and geometric shapes. The Architects devised a clever way to add an interesting flair of creativity to the entire building. Awesome!
Thank you for joining the OCD Community Boost Contest for Architecture+Design. Since you live in the same neighborhood, did you develop emotional connections with the Southbank Theatre during your daily walks? Were you impressed the first time you witnessed its completion? Were you able to capture some photographs of yourself together with that remarkable piece of architecture?
Well I wasn't around here during it's construction phase and as someone who can never afford to go to events, let alone a live theatre event, it is not a place that I have ever been on the inside unfortunately, so I have only seen photos...
Although I am close to it, literally 2 blocks away around the corner, I usually walk in the opposite direction to get where I actually need to go, unless I have to go in that direction for something specific and these days, since we're still in lockdown, the only reason I have been going in that direction is to go the to chemist which is only a block away from it.
I love looking at it. It looks so striking- especially in comparison to all of the other buildings around it. And it makes me happy to be able to see something so creative- so left of centre- out of the box instead of the same old boxes...and when I walk past, I just can't take my eyes off it as if it has mesmerised me in some mysterious way and I think that it simply because it is so striking in it's uniqueness.
As for selfies, no, I don't do selfies unless someone has a gun to my head and since I am alone, there's no-one here to put that gun to my head- and I still wouldn't do it. I have my very valid reasons.
And infact I am quite anti selfie and not just for myself, but for humanity in general...
I think in the past 18months since I discovered Hive, I have posted maybe 3 selfies and regret that many.
Okay, I see - that's understandable. Thank you for your feedback and for participating in the OCD Community Boost Contest for Architecture+Design. Great post!
Thanks I'm glad that you enjoyed it as it is a design that is worth showing off, but I am not. It's all about the architecture, not me.
