Liverpool Street Canyon — Victorian Facades and Museum of Liverpool

9 October 2019 · Liverpool

A Liverpool city centre street channels the eye toward the waterfront, where the angular black wedge of the Museum of Liverpool cuts into an overcast sky behind a Victorian red-brick facade with a dome. Scaffolding wraps the near building in white sheeting, adding a third layer to the conversation: the city that was, the city being restored, and the city that arrived in steel and glass. The leading lines of pavement and wet road pull everything together into one frame.
