Another fine architectural B&W, Lorell; the darks predominate, nicely contrasted by the well-controlled whites; and the exaggerated perspective creates striking sharp angles and lines. I admire your value control, and with grayscale images if the values are not handled well, the image fails. You nailed it.
In contrast to your image, here is one with strong color and no straight lines, angles, or shapes. Taken 3 days ago under our usual June marine layer morning overcast skies, I intentionally shot at a faster shutter speed than called for to minimize camera shake, knowing it would be dark and that I could lighten selected areas.
This is from the same large tub of mundane potato plants that I've shot before. It's probably 15%-20% too dark and with the value contrast a bit too strong, but overall I'm pleased with this one: I especially like the organic shapes of the slightly blurred leaves and how they set off the sharper blossom details.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
