City Lines

Good design is the sum of its parts - line, shape, form and function.
Commercial architecture, the most visual  and longstanding design form combines
all these elements. If you take time to look up when you're in the city you'll notice
a mix of styles and designs all competing for 'air' space. Sometimes they work together, but most often they don't, and the good architecture is hidden amongst
the bad.
Take a look at these shots taken in Broadway, Sydney. They're a representative
sample of just how complex the streetscape and its skyline can be.
