Perhaps the strongest link between these images is the interplay between light and dark, and the shadows that link them. The top image, by Erika Kruger, takes the individual on a visual experience, one which brings about an emotional response to the architecture of the place. One experiences a heightened knowledge of the place, since it's complex composition allows scope for interpretation. Clearly, a strict sense of dimensions and proportion is replaced by distinctive and contrasting tones.
Similarly, the second image, a laboratoy for Jacques Yves Cousteau in UnrealEd, features an intentional and distinctive use of light, dark, and shadow. Although part of the architecture is concealed, the individual is left with an emotional response to the place. The concealment of certain elements, such as the ramp and the ground floor, is of little concern, since the viewer is allowed scope for their own interpretation, influenced by their past experiences and mood.
