La Cité Radieuse, a.k.a. "la maison du fada" is an iconic work by Le Corbusieur.

love the detail of the wood and how the slabs of wood in the center, lead the eyes...great capture in B&W KatysPassionata · 2012-03-04: 18:18

Sounds weird but when I glance at this quickly, the underside of this bridge reminds me of the wooden trojan horse in Greek mythology (not that I've seen it in person:) Many great lines and textures to be had here, drawing my eye down the "corridor" Did you frame this shot and wait for these people to pass through or did you spot them and then take the shot? sooch · 2012-03-04: 21:44

Love the picture, hate the building. Black and white is perfect for the geometric design and the concrete "overload"... glad you didn't show the ghastly facade. davids · 2012-03-05: 12:29

Always take mace and a billy club - a necessity. I like it cropped a bit better - (from the right side - vertical lines on the support and about 3/4 inch from the bottom). The ghastly facade might have been interesting to see. Don't know the structure. ????? · 2012-03-05: 14:09

Overpowering ... in all senses! I know it's technically a good image ....but .... it's not like" Bridges of Madison County," is it? :-) marilynx · 2012-03-05: 15:27

OMG ... I googled it ... ghastly ... at least you chose the best angle!! marilynx · 2012-03-05: 15:33

Wooden shuttering for concrete structure. I always find it interesting and the patterns produced here certainly look interesting. Le Corbusier was a master of this technique. It is an interesting shot Stefan. I keep coming back to it. I certainly wouldn't crop it. The blown highlights on the left are the one area that I find unsatisfactory. SADHYA · 2012-03-06: 04:27

Feared that I'm weird, because I immediately think of the Trojan Horse when I look at this picture. Turns out I'm not the only one, when I read the comments from others. Nice to know there are more weird people. Although there is a lot texture in this image, it is not overly busy. On the contrary, there is a certain calmness in this photo. I like it.

I had no idea that motorway flyovers were inspired by Le Corbusier! ;-) I like the B&W conversion very much. girafferacing · 2012-03-12: 09:58
