Impressive Briggs Hall, UC Davis

This southwest corner of Briggs Hall at UC Davis, which I see pretty much every day when I am at work, fascinates me. Often I thought that one day the light and shadows would be just right for me to take a picture of it. Well, while taking a break to walk around campus, I happened to have my camera and the light was just right.

I stopped, took a couple of pictures, and here it is.

BAM

This one corner of Briggs Hall fascinates because the shadows seductively highlight the building’s brutalist lines and texture. I am also drawn in by the shadows contradictory emphasis of the corner’s symmetry even as they also create a touch of playfully dark asymmetry that make me stop and wonder about what I see. Or think I see. Or do not see?
