Shapes Of London by Omar Zohdi

Written By Omar Zohdi

Building London

London is timeless, an urban sprawl weaving together history and modernity. I have spent close to a decade walking her chaotic streets, admiring her unique architecture and traveling her cozy underground, and all I see are shapes.

Concrete Circle

Branching Spires

Skeletal Cranes

Dome London

London is a City of Shapes.

Sharp towering skyscrapers, historic stone monuments, skeletal monolithic cranes, intricate underground veins. Her shapes surround us, but too often we are distracted by the rhythm of her pulse to fully appreciate them. Each shape tells a story of connection, history, hope, and the ever changing times.Let's take a breath and admire the allure of this city we love to hate.

Modern Lines

Curving Lines

Towering Egg
