Temple Works
Temple Works is based on the temple of Edfu and reflects Leeds-born John Marshall's interest in Egyptology.
When built it claimed the 'largest single room in the world'.
The new technology included ducts beneath the floor for air conditioning in the building.
Sheep also grazed on the large roof covered in grass to control the humidity and prevent the linen thread from becoming dry and hard to work.
This sacred building is currently being restored to become a centre for art and media.
I have presented this as a black and white conversion to emphasis the architecture and form of this fabulous building.

You could have a point there mate.
I converted from this colour shot which I like with the vapour trail - there were loads of them in the sky today.

I am spending a bit of time in the centre of Leeds shooting (hopefully) interesting buildings and architecture.
This is an old building just out of the centre of Leeds called Temple Works.
Temple Works is based on the temple of Edfu and reflects Leeds-born John Marshall's interest in Egyptology.
I am also led to believe there was grass on the roof at one time and it was used for grazing sheep or goats.

Came across this building undergoing renovation work just outside of central Leeds. I liked the contrast of the white shrouding against the lovely blue sky we had today. Comments and suggestions welcome...

I don't see why I can't do either of those dates - probably erring towards the Sat if I had to choose.
I wonder if Barrie knows what snap is?

Have you seen that new building in Leeds near the uni that has been built to rust?
