Spiral to the Future

This dramatic architectural photograph, taken from below, peers upward through a sleek, sculptural metallic spiral staircase, a fluid, ribbon-like structure designed by Zaha Hadid Architects(ZHA).The smooth,reflective silver panels form a powerful circular frame that guides the eye toward a brilliant blue sky. Through the central oculus, the curved glass facade tower office building (The Henderson)(also designed by ZHA for Henderson Land in Hong Kong) majestically, its sinuous blue-tinted reflections capturing surrounding towers. A radiant sunburst lens flare on the right amplifies the future.
