EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Skingle showcases the iconic Derwent Tower, also known as the Dunston Rocket, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. Captured in August 2002, this architectural marvel stood tall as a symbol of modernity and post-war design. The tower's brutalist style is evident through its striking concrete structure that exudes strength and boldness. The oblique angle at which the photograph was taken adds an intriguing perspective to this image. It allows us to appreciate the tower's unique shape and intricate details from a fresh vantage point. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where innovative residential designs were transforming skylines across Britain. Sadly, despite its significance as a testament to modern architecture, Derwent Tower met its demise in 2012 when it was demolished. However, through Skingle's lens, we can still admire the tower's grandeur and appreciate its contribution to our built heritage. This print serves as a reminder of how architecture has the power to shape our surroundings and evoke emotions within us. It invites contemplation on both the beauty of concrete structures like Derwent Tower and their impermanence in an ever-changing world.
