Art Deco Police Station: Curved Corners and Vertical Friezes

Architectural photography of a 1930s police station in Tainan, Taiwan, in the manner of Umezawa Sutejirō. A three-storey art deco civic building faced in ochre washed granolithic render, its street corner turned as a smooth curved bay carrying a monumental round-arched entrance recess three storeys high. Slender vertical fins and stepped bands frame the windows, a flat parapet with a simple stepped crown. Restrained ornament, strong horizontal and vertical geometry. Hard southern Taiwanese sun with sharp shadows, an old tree at the kerb, low corner view, ultra-realistic, 8k, architectural digest. --ar 16:9 --v 6.0
