Hong Kong’s ‘jockey club innovation tower’ – home to the city’s Polytechnic University School of Design, captured in all it’s eye-bending, interstellar-cruise-liner-looking asymmetric glory by renowned architectural photographer Iwan Baan.

Completed in mid 2013 and designed by the Iraqi British architect Zaha Hadid for a city where space is at a premium, the tower has 15 1000m³ storeys rising up from an irregularly shaped narrow plot of land.

Has anyone else noticed the heavy-handed makeup job done for Cllr Dermot Lacey’s campaign photos? So rosy that I had to look up first that it’s not something he normally wears before posting here…his makeup artist is some amateur!

Irish Election Ride ?

Anyone?
