The Weatherhead School of Management on the campus of Case Western Reserve is a building with a very, very unique and "irrational" design. To me, the corner entrance looks like Pi written with the bold stroke of a calligraphy pen. Photgraped at 3:00 pm. The image was cropped for size and then sharpened.

I don't qujte see the pi. It's an interesting structrue though. The sky is overexposed, but that's hard to avoid.

Nice eye to see the pi. The sky is blown out, but not surprised if that is the only angle to get it at. The silver area seems a bit bright too. How would this look in black and white? and making it more "contrasty," or high key?

I see you have a pi there in an abstract kind of way, but it is there. Good eye.

nice colours, good reflections, ideal lighting for daylight.

Okay, I can vaguely see pi here with the curved roof and vertical sides of the building. I think? I like this concept, and I like lines you've created with your perspective and good cropping. It seems that in such a context, pi can be seen as an essential element in architecture; you are showing its usefulness by also showing us its shape on/as the building? Perhaps to be more effective, if that is your aim, some unique lighting would be appropriate, perhaps in a less harsh time of the day (in terms of light). This would bring out pi's mythic ability to be applied to almost anything and would transport your image from being a picture of a building that looks like pi to an image that suggests that pi is everywhere and is a pervasive force to be reckoned with.
