Engineering Is Art: 100 – 149
Celebrate photographic engineering week-daily with #EngineeringIsArt on @beingbrunel.
These last few months have been good to those of us who love our photos well engineered. With the fantastic Structurally Found filling twitter and instagram with some great structural photos during London’s Open House weekend. Until next year, however, those of us who yearn for the honest aesthetic a view on our built environment can give us will just have to stick it out with my daily “Engineering Is Art” series on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.
If these fifty pictures aren’t enough for you, you can look back at numbers 000 to 049, and 050 to 099 to satiate that driving need for engineering photos. And as the third set comes to an end, here are photos 100 to 149 of Engineering Is Art…
