Abstract Architecture 2
Four storeys high, and wrapped in a sinuous, seamless outer skin decorated with 15,000 spun aluminium discs painted blue, like some XXXL dress by Paco Rabanne, Selfridge’s is a truly audacious achievement. Designed by Future Systems, architects of the Space Age-style press pavilion at Lord’s cricket ground in St John’s Wood, it has about it, from the outside at least, not just something of a Pop era frock, but something of the sea and even the ocean depths – something, too, of outer space exploration.
A great building, very intriguing, very reflective, very big and yet simply a shop!

It’s the Bullring in Birmingham isn’t it? Such a cool structure – even the overall shape is just this crazy amorphous blob!. Very cool shot

If ever a flat surface looked curvy and bumpy and 3D, it’s here! The monochrome really makes it “pop!” Sensational image, George :)
