After my morning spent in the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen I continued my architectural photography with a couple of hours at the Art Gallery in the centre of the city. Built in 188 by Alexander Marshall Mackenzie this elegant building has been extended and developed several times over the last century. I was particularly keen to see how the latest addition, a glass rooflight added within the last decade, fitted in.
Having never visited the Art Gallery before I had nothing to compare this modern edition to, but I love its clean lines and the way it effortlessly brings light into the quadrangle.
At the other end of the gallery I found a very different space - an octagonal room, also lit from above, but this time by a small cupola and a ring of lights which looked like a UFO from above!
I became quite obsessed with this space, finding many different points of view on its beautiful lines!
