It might do so directly &#8211; capturing a specific detail of a known building &#8211; or indirectly &#8211; by having a similarity with another place entirely. Almost like an aroma, or perfume, it can take you back to a specific memory, experience, time or place.<\/p>\r\n<p>When I make this statement, I am referring to this image of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wat_Pho\">Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, in Bangkok<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-991\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-991\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G28266-Bangkok-816x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G28266-Bangkok-816x1024.jpg 816w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G28266-Bangkok-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G28266-Bangkok-768x964.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G28266-Bangkok.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bangkok, image by Anthony Kersting.

At the time, there was a recession in the UK and the building industry is often one of the sectors that are negatively impacted first. There were no jobs for budding, enthusiastic, young architects with no work experience, like me. But this took me, thankfully, to my first job abroad in Singapore, where I lived and worked for two years, and from which I could travel around South East Asia.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The images taken by Kersting in Singapore took me back 20 years in an instant. I recall my weekend walks (in the extremely high humidity temperatures), searching for the historical context of colonial architecture, contrasting with the dizzying heights of banks, hotels and condominiums that tower over the domestic-scaled \u201cshop-houses\u201d on this tiny sovereign island city-state in South East Asia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-993\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-993\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore-823x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore-823x1024.jpg 823w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore-768x955.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore-1235x1536.jpg 1235w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/11\/KER_PNT_G30646-Singapore.jpg 1489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">St Andrews Cathedral, Singapore, image by Anthony Kersting.
