These photos were taken all on campus! : )
The chancellor's greenhouse in my opinion is a perfect use of asymmetry because of the different heights of horizontals within the windows. The variations of the tall and shorter window lines give this image an asymmetrical effect and create a varied up and down movement for the eye.
The longer branches of this tree first draws the eye to the lower left and then it is drawn to the upper right branches of the tree. I like this photo because it creates movement, and there are varied lengths of the short and long branches to create the off-balanced look.
This side view of the chancellor's house is very geometric, and the silhouette of the roof's shapes create asymmetry. It switches off from the medium sized chimney to the short, curved window and then the eye heightens to the pointed tip of the roof on the right. Although these are different shapes, it still makes the eye move down and up from the left to the right .
These rods are from a construction worksite on a building near the Union. Although slightly on a diagonal, I found that the rods truly created asymmetry through their varied heights. Also, I liked how the rods on the left were placed closer together than the far two rods on the right side. I found this to be a unique snapshot of asymmetry through just straight lines.
Snow Hall across from the design building shows asymmetry through yet another silhouette of a rooftop. Similar to the chancellor's house, the shorter and taller shapes create the imbalanced, up and down movements. Also, the close placement of the two features on the right off sets the shorter and farther away pointed part of the building.
Again, I like how this tree too creates asymmetry through its branches. The varying short and long horizontal branches and puffs of green pine leaves draws the eye up the tree to create a nice flow of left and right movements.
