Articulation in Movement

MONDAY

A shot of the exterior of Huddersfield'sGrade II listed Queensgate Market. 

At almost 50 years old it's a building you either love or hate. In 2007 it was awarded the Concrete Society’s Certificate of Excellence for a Mature Structure.

The ring road elevation in today's blip has nine 15.5m x 5.5m relief ceramic panels, Articulation In Movement. Every panel has a representation of a mushroom-like shell that is turned 90 degrees with the relief stalk and asymmetric cap of each resembling a trumpet bell being harmoniously aligned with adjoining ones. This gives feeling of movement right along the building. Around the stem of each are organic representations that reflect the nature of the market’s goods.
