Gazprom Headquarters in Rusia
And the sixth of the most unique structure is the Gazprom Headquarters, Russia. This gigantic, 300m tall glass flame of a building will house the Gazprom headquarters in St. Petersburg, dwarfing all structures in its vicinity. it will apparently change colour up to 10 times per day depending on the position of the sun. the building has already been nicknamed ‘corn on the cob’ by unhappy locals.

Chicago Spire

Continuing what we have talked about the top unique structure mentioned by Syed Mobin Architects, now lets see the second structure, the Chicago Spire. This phenomenal structure, when completed in 2010, will be the world’s tallest residential building and the tallest building of any kind in the western world. seemingly modeled on the image of a giant drill poking through the ground, the 609 meter structure will dominate the Chicago skyline.

Olympic Oval up 2010 for World Building of the Year award
When my brother asked me for a ride to the Vancouver Airport a few weeks ago, I grabbed my gear, remembering that the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Speed Skating Oval had recently been completed near the airport, and was supposed to be a unique and spectacular building. I thought I’d take a look at it after dropping my bro at YVR. Great Architecture always intrigues me, that’s why I became an Architectural Photographer. Sometimes I just go out and look at buildings, sometimes I photograph them for fun, even if it’s not a work assignment. When I arrived at the Olympic Oval, the conditions could not have been better. The light was in just the right place, still quite low in the sky, but with a bright daytime look. The blue sky and clouds mirrored the brilliant colours of the ice blue architecture, accented with orange wooden beams for a dash of contrast.

In a case like this, I have to take photos, I don’t have a choice. It’s like an addiction, looks…..soooo…..goood,……..must…..take……photos….! It’s the same feeling that would compel a tourist to take 2 dozen shots of a beautiful sunset, even though each one looks just like the one before. It just looks so good.

I took about 150 frames, wandering around, exploring angles, different lenses, from far and near, low and high. I was just about to pack up and move on, when I remembered the 10 stop ND filter in my gear bag ( I use a Lowe Pro Photo Trekker in case you were wondering - Free plug for Lowe Pro cause their stuff is so good, and has a lifetime warranty) It was a pretty windy day, so the clouds and trees were moving quickly, if I made a long exposure I would probably get a unique look to the architecture image
