Without a doubt, photography has left a lasting impact in how people experience architectural spaces, and that influence continues to grow more widespread in these digital times. Sto Werkstatt and Arcaid Images collaborated to produce the upcoming "Building Images" exhibition as a critical exploration of photography and its ability to convey architectural elements and concepts.
The exhibition organizers also hope "Building Images" will renew the conversation on the power of photography as a visual communication tool within the architectural and design industry as well as spark broader debate on the use of imagery in the digital era.
Opening on January 16 at Sto Werkstatt in Clerkenwell, London, the public exhibition rounds up well-composed works of 14 talented architectural photographers who competed in the most recent Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards. The photographs show that even familiar buildings can't have too many snapshots, including Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Centre, BIG's Danish Maritime Museum, the Interlace Condominium by Ole Scheeran + OMA, and SOM's Cayan Tower, to name a few.
The exhibition is divided into the same categories from the awards competition: Buildings in Use, Exteriors, Interiors, and Sense of Place. Each category focuses on different architectural qualities and the various technical approaches and methodologies, as exemplified in the exhibited works.
"Building Images" is free and open to the public, and will run until February 28, 2015.
