The triangular concrete supports of the Queen Elizabeth Hall were not decorative — they were the structural solution to a deliberate urban design decision. The architects wanted the building to rise above the Thames riverside terrace, leaving the public realm free to flow beneath it unobstructed. The triangles transfer the load of the elevated building to the ground, and in doing so became the most distinctive structural feature of the complex. Shot head-on, one of those supports is caught in a narrow band of direct light against the deep shadow of the recess above: a bright triangular form, perfectly centered, flanked by blue glass on either side. The composition is so formally resolved it reads as almost devotional — concrete, light, and shadow arranged with the conviction of a building that knew exactly what it was doing.
