A. BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK: This work was my attempt to reflect postmodern
architecture and capture its eclectic and diverse nature through the use of
mix-media. The almost chaotic nature of the work challenges modernist ideals of
architecture, such exemplified through the words of Mies Van Der Rohe
"less is more". However in the true spirit of post modernism, the
work also embraces previous modernist ideals through each of the smaller
frames, which are deconstructions of the larger central frame, becoming more
simplified and further minimalistic, hence embodying modernist beliefs of
architecture.

B. GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE: Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao responds
to the history and character of its location and is a piece of architecture
that is pertinent to Bilbao. The work not only is a fine example of postmodern
architecture but it also revived the city of Bilbao through tourism,
establishing it as a hub of art and culture. It is a building that made a
positive contribution to its environment, hence what I believe to be great
architecture.

C. ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL: This photograph was taken at the beach of Positano
while on my holiday to Italy. Positano is known as ‘The Vertical City’ and its
only takes one glimpse of its colourful buildings climbing up the steep mountainside
to see why. Despite the terrible weather, the beautiful vivid colours of the
building and its charm still shone through.
