Architectural sequence

a.) Navotas Cemetery, Manila, The Philippines.

For someone whose seen Alfred Hitchcock's - Rope. Having dinner over a dead body might be frighting till the movie ends. But imagine the lives of those who live with the dead. The following example is one of the most shocking things I've ever seen.



b.) St. Pauls Cathedral, London, United kingdom

The Simple reason I've put this down is for two things. Firstly, my interest in faith and its effect on my subject of study i.e. horror; and secondly this is a good example of Baroque Architecture that I've personally visited. Designed by Christopher Wren the cathedral falls in the category of that design which was in many ways inspired from chiaroscuro. What I mean is the style was characterised by new explorations of form which dealt with light, shadows and dramatic intensity.
