The Bendigo Bank Head Quarters designed by BVN Architecture [link] in association with Gray Puksand [link], with it's perforated metal cladding facade is reminiscent of a scaled up Meccano set [link] with similar bright vibrant colours of cladding to boot. Somehow I would feel more comfortable stashing a venerable selection of bank notes behind those walls than the version I could create in the privacy of my own living room. The head quarters was completed in 2008.
The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright upon entering a Las Vegas style casino for the first time, remarked on the architecture with those same words. Maybe it's more myth, than any amount of truth. I hope my photographs give you that same feeling of disorientation and bemusement. The plan is to abstract the crap out of architecture I like and throw in non-academic, pop culture infused musings whilst I'm at it.
