Focus on Details

The plaster work is polished black shikkui, an ancient Japanese technique, embellished with chevrons carried out in red plaster and a floral frieze in white and grey highlights. The surface of the plaster was hand-polished some thirty times to reach this lustrous finish.
The photograph was exhibited during the 10th Annual Louis Kahn Memorial Lecture in 1992, where Christopher Alexander was invited to give a lecture, at the Fitzwilliam Museum Photograph Exhibition “Forms Which do not Frighten but Invite”, and at the 14th International Architecture Biennale Exhibition: “Office US”.
