The next project was the inspiring place project. We were given the task of trying to find something that inspires us around Dundee. I found this quite difficult because I do not know my way around Dundee too well. I walked up to Dundee law which was difficult but I didn't find it too inspiring. I was wondering around for hours upon hours trying to find something and I came upon a street busker.
But I decided against it because it was a bit conceited, it was an inspiring place not an inspiring person. I didn't notice it at first but I kept walking past this one place. The one place that kept catching my eye. It was the chapel right in the centre of town on Meadowside. It was just really beautiful. I hadn't really seen many chapels like that with winding staircases, big spires and lots of windows all over it. I tried very hard to get inside to see how much natura light there was inside but they wudn't let me in because it was a building site. I tried to explain I was an Architecture student but they didn't care. It was odd to see a building like this right in the centre of town and every time I looked at it I was being reminded of something from a fairytale.
In Aberdeen I am used to seeing big granite buildings everywhere (e.g Marshall college) and it was really nice to see a building with these lovely light coloured stones. It was a big contrast between the old more decorative building and to the right there are modern functional looking buildings which I also found interesting.
