EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stephen Rafferty captures the remnants of a once iconic architectural marvel, the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth, England. The image showcases the post-demolition remaining section of this 1960s concrete landmark that had garnered significant recognition for its exciting visual composition, earning it the prestigious Civic Trust Award. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when bold and unconventional designs were embraced in urban planning. Despite its demolition, this fragment stands as a testament to the center's unique charm and artistic significance. The intricate patterns etched onto the weathered concrete walls evoke nostalgia for a time when architecture was celebrated as an art form. In this snapshot, we see people passing by on their daily routines against the backdrop of this urban relic. Their presence adds a sense of scale and vitality to the scene while emphasizing how architecture shapes our everyday lives. Rafferty's keen eye for detail brings out every texture and contour found within this decaying structure, highlighting both its beauty and decay simultaneously. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon not only what is lost but also what endures in our ever-evolving cities. This remarkable photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even after demolition, fragments of history can continue to captivate our imagination and inspire conversations about design innovation and preservation in modern urban landscapes across Europe.
