# Kaleidoscopic Rainbow Buildings Yener Torun's Photos Explores Istanbul's Technicolor Architecture By M | Published 2016-07-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-building References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/yener-torun-architectural-photography-istanbul-07-15-2016/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/cimkedi/?hl=en) Yener Torun is a architecture-focused photographer that offers a series of illustrations that capture the [rainbow buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nantou-hybrid-building) riddled throughout the bustling neighbourhoods of Istanbul. The photos focus on capturing the technicolor aesthetic incorporated into the design of residential and office buildings that translate into creating a kaleidoscopic skyline that envelops the city. The illustrations focus on symmetry, color and form as themes that unite the collection together. Each picture captures how rainbows are used in the Istanbul architecture in slightly different ways, from buildings that are decorated in ombre rainbow color schemes to others that opt for more cubistic tiled patterns or color subtly integrated into the facade windows. Torun's eye-catching images create a paralleled dialogue between the bold use of color and geometric shapes.
