Microcosm on Westminster Bridge

Starting at Belveder Road and walking towards Westminster Station opposite the Houses of Parliament, it became apparent how an iconic bridge and its environs could so succinctly capture the development of a society.

This emergent representation - a microcosm of change in society, has to be captured in the fleeting moment, so that we reveal how swathes of our social reality are embedded in every frame of modern life.

We see the counter-point to our old society, and how things have changed; homogeneity has given way to multiculturalism and the sedate ways of more arduous times have been swept past by a more comfortable, yet ironically, hectice balance of our affects and the people around us.

The simple trip across the bridge illustrates this point in recent history and how it has developed and mutated, and how society has expanded and inter-twined.

Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona

The Fundation Joan Miró, Centre d'Estudis d'Art Contemporani (Joan Miró Foundation) is a museum of modern art honoring Joan Miró and located on Montjuic in Barcelona.

The building housing the museum is itself a notable example of modern design drawing from regional traditions. It was completed in 1975 by architect Josep Lluís Sert, who conceived it like an open space, with big terraces and interior courtyards that allowed a correct circulation of the visitors. The building was broadened in 1986 to add the library and the auditorium. [Wiki]
