For this year's 2022 edition, the JSI presents James Florio with the prestigious <a href="https://bustler.net/news/tags/julius-shulman-institute/19701/7293/livia-corona-benjamin-wins-2019-julius-shulman-photography-excellence-award" target="_blank">Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award</a>.</p> <p>Florio's photographic works capture the intimate details of the built environment in nature and within cityscapes. Many of his past works and projects document how time, nature, and climate impact architecture and landscapes. While the photographs shown here primarily highlight his latest work with <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/67675/ensamble-studio" target="_blank">Ensamble Studio</a>, other projects such as the <a href="https://jamesflorio.com/galleries/78" target="_blank">Cervantes Theatre</a>, <a href="https://jamesflorio.com/galleries/162" target="_blank">Exeter Library</a>, and <a href="https://jamesflorio.com/galleries/2" target="_blank">Gio Ponti Denver Art Museum</a> exhibit Florio's eye for investigating structure, materials, texture, and shadow from a macro to micro-scale.</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/8b/8ba1f9b960d83bbc627a5b296032a9ba.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/8b/8ba1f9b960d83bbc627a5b296032a9ba.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Beartooth Portal in the snow.
