The opposite side of the wall

Here is an interior shot of that wall from the previous post. I was thinking about that image and I don’t think that it is as strong as it could be. Keep in mind first that it is meant to be seen much larger than a computer screen so that you would connect more to the bench and notice little details like the orange smashed on the ground. I have a wider shot of the same building from a higher vantage point that includes the staircases through either set of windows and I feel it exaggerates the height of the building while giving a better feel for how large the plaza in the foreground is.
While composing the image above I heard a strange repetitive knocking sound coming from behind the wall. It turns out that the above mentioned plaza was a favorite place for some students to play racquet ball. I imagine the initial purpose may have been for outdoor performances or even a good place to put tables and chairs for students to study at.
This interior space (the lobby) has some artwork hung on the side walls and has apparently been used for many purposes over the years. Just before I made this image there had been a class meeting in these chairs. With the new addition to the structure this wall will be torn and the lobby will be doubled in size (so long to racquet ball).
