Architecture is everywhere and I really enjoy chasing new architectural wonders, even while on my honeymoon! This image is from a sunny bright day at the MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology) in Lisbon which is a spectacular and marvellous building designed by Amanda Levete Architects. The facade of the MAAT is a result of the architects ongoing research into new uses and reinterpretations of ceramics. The textured facade is composed of almost 15,000 three-dimensional crackle-glazed tiles which capture the changing light and give mutable readings of the exceptional southern European light that vary with the time of day and the seasons.
