This photo creates an interesting space. Due to the angle of the picture, if you look at the whole image, the actual image's borders look uneven on the left side. It's an interesting optical illusion.
I think the strengths of this image are the direction of the light, camera angle and cropping. It would be placed in the aesthetically evaluative category since it is simply about visual form. The grid-like pattern of the repeated lines and shapes is not static due to the motion created by convergence of the lines. I'm glad you were not shooting with a view camera - you might have been tempted to correct those lines! What time of day was this? I would like to see this building shot at other times of day to see what the light and shadows do. The cropping is successful since it prevents the viewer from being distracted by other architectural details.
