Honorable Mention

Blue and gold and black and white.

The Sir Duncan Rice Library at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, was designed by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen. The £57 million award-winning building is iconic. Here I have worked to capture the spirit of the library, focusing on angles and imagery around bookshelves.
