Thanks a lot, Gary! Now I know what you mean! I didn't know that this kind of optical illusion is named the Necker Shift. I was rather using the general term "optical illusion" for all similar phenomena. But does this image have that too? I can't quite see that.
Cheers!
Nick

Exactly Kiarang! I wish I had scanned this better. And I also wonder because not many mentioned the noise. So I am glad for any really close inspection of the image.
Thanks a lot and all the best!

Hi Andre!
Yes, the architect did a very good job. Let's give that guy some credit too ;-) He kept it simple and clear, which adds a special kind of elegance. But you are completetely right about mathematics and the series. When I see these images now, after some years, I think that I really saw mainly the abstract, the mathematical part of architecture. In other words, a real freak! ;-)
Well, somebody has to photographically say that we live in houses and work in buildings that could be designed and built up because of the underlying mathematics. (Credit goes to Euclid now! ;-)) And the thing is that the underlying mathematics was not developed for making houses or for any other special purpose. It was developed for just being developed! That's the nice thing about mathematics - it is free of purpose but so full of sense. You start thinking about, say, the nature of a line, you proceed from axioms to theorems, you prove this and that, and while you do that most people question the "usefulness" of what you do (and your sanity too ;-)). And then, some decades later on, they are happy to live in nice houses, and think that you worked for just that. (And suddenly prise your sanity! ;-))
Cheers!

Thanks a lot, Vandi!
The architect made it almost impossible to not have such a simple image of that corner. It is really very nice architecture in its simplicity and so the image can only reflect that. (Hopefully!)
Cheers!

Nick, I'm sure you'll have come across the Necker Shift Paradigm/Perception under a different name -have a look at:

Thanks again Gustavo!
You mean the technical part of the capture, or any other kind of "technique"?
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the nice detailed comment, Gary!
Well, what exactly is a "necker" perception? I don't know any translation for that, sorry. :-(
Cheers! (That's international! ;-))

but still pitty for noise!

Hi Nick,
I think your experience as a Mathematician must be helping you our with your current posts. :)
The geometry is quite attractive and well proportioned. Of course, the architect has something to do with that and must take some credit :) But you have done very well to show off these interior sections in good light. The shadows enhance the interesting structure.

Una foto simple pero muy bien ejecutada desde la técnica, no es lo que más me gusta!..:-), pero tengo que reconocer que técnicamente sos siempre muy prolijo.
Un abrazo!

Simple and effective image. There's a bit of a 'necker' perception shift at the jagged edge on the left which adds to the image
