Final Major Project Exhibition

I wanted to show the ever changing architecture of Carlisle in Cumbria. Having lived here all my life, I have seen many changes and recently there have been more architectural changes. Many of our buildings, having been either damaged by floods in 2005, or just through old age, have been replaced by new buildings. I wanted to illustrate the difference in the two types of architecture i.e. Old & New.
I chose 3 different sites. Carlisle Police Station, Carlisle Courts of Justice & Cumbria Archive Centre. Creating the 'Old' in black & white and their 'new' replacement buildings were to be in colour.
The final addition was to take a photograph of one of Carlisles landmarks, Dixons Chimney, and create a large, 3m print to convey the sheer scale of this piece of architecture.
