20140623. Contextualism 2: The distant building addresses its context in terms of the materials, forms and details of the closer building.

If all of Peter Dickinson’s high-rises (foreground) are demolished, a memory of them will exist in 90 Sumach (background).

Note the similar forms and details: colour of brick, shape of each patch of brick, the window style and the way each building features vertical lines of windows.
