Description
Photographed with appropriate permission from an aeroplane at 800m on a weekday morning between fixtures, this aerial study of Wembley Stadium captures the extraordinary designed geometry of one of the world’s largest stadium structures in its most authentic state — completely empty, without the distraction of crowd colour or on-pitch activity, the pure architectural intention of the design is fully legible. The concentric rings of the seating terraces, the structural geometry of the famous arch, and the perfect rectangle of the pitch enclosed within the oval bowl create a composition of geometric precision and designed human scale that functions as both a portrait of a landmark building and an abstract study of scale and geometry.
