...Inspiration Situation...
Big Cities.
The buzz of the early morning commuters, the sounds of shops opening and being set up, the way the sun reflects off the panels of the buildings like a laser beam cutting through the city. Big cities serve as massive inspirations to me both architecturally and personally. I believe that 9am on a Monday morning is the perfect time to see the soul of any city, to capture an inside glimpse into a different culture. Visiting New York last year was a dream come true to any creative and as I expected the city inspired me greatly. Walking around Manhattan was one thing, however seeing the city that never sleeps from the sky was something else. I was lucky enough to have a helicopter tour of Manhattan and Brooklyn and looking down on the metropolitan mass beneath me was amazing and inspiring.
Viewing these massive structures from a helicopter really gave you a feel of how broad and diverse New York really is. This vast concrete jungle I saw looming fiercely above my head could now be viewed as an intricate Tetris grid turned horizontal. I'll never forget my time in New York.
