Last week I passed by this cute modernist housing block (by Nikos Valsamakis), and its funny to see how it lies in ruins while mediocre neoclassical crap are being treated as the holy grail.
Anyway, the patternt treatment has always fascinated me, in a Miami way, though its really not close to the sea.
But the blind facade is even cuter because it catches the reflection of the stupid mirror building right next to it.
later on at the nearby mall, all I could see was shadow reflection patterns
and then more random patterns
