As professional architects and amateur photographers we’re always snapping photos around town.  It’s not usually the most recent high-rise or the sleek new house that gets our attention though.  What stands out to us is texture and form, light and shadow, the subtleties and serendipities of the built environment around us.  Frankly, they’re boring scenes, but beautifully boring.  The information that can be extracted from these images informs our design philosophy just as much as the glossy photos in the design magazines.  So for today’s post we thought we share some of our recent images from the beautifully boring scenes theme.  You can keep up with this series by following us on Twitter.
