Paragon Facades

Paragon Facades studies the city as a vertical stack of architectural periods. The historic hotel frontage anchors the lower frame, while modern towers, gridded windows and dark reflective glass rise above it. The photograph works through contrast: old against new, ornament against repetition, pale stone against deep black glass. In black and white, the scene becomes less about location and more about rhythm, density and the visual tension of urban architecture.
