The Southbank Centre's yellow circulation spaces carry the history of their own making. Look closely at the painted surface and the evidence is there: the figure-8 loops of formwork tie wires, snapped off after the concrete set and painted over in yellow, but still visible as dark marks against the surface. They are the building's fingerprints — traces of the construction process that the paint could cover but not erase. Here, two of those loops sit above the dome light fixture at the junction of the curved and straight concrete walls, giving the composition an almost anthropomorphic quality: two eyes above a round white nose, the stairwell briefly wearing a face.
