Glass in Motion at Zuidas: NautaDutilh Offices in Amsterdam

In Amsterdam’s Zuidas the glass begins to act like water.
At the NautaDutilh office building the facade folds the sky into ribbons.
Lines lean forward and the tower seems to move even while it stands still.
I walked the corner until the light fell clean across the surface and the pattern clicked.

From a distance the diagonal band cuts through the grid like a path on a hillside.
It gives the mass a direction and the eye a way to travel.
Windows repeat like notes and the diagonal carries the melody.

Up close the facade turns into a series of steps in light.
Each fin catches a slice of the day and sends it back a little different.
Blue becomes silver.
Silver becomes shadow.
The rhythm is calm and mechanical but never dull.

This is why I enjoy photographing new work in Zuidas.
You get structure and reflection in the same frame.
Order and small surprises living side by side.
More from this series will follow.
