Previously, we show winners of this competition, now Sto Werkstatt shows us a sample of the best architectural photography worldwide and celebrates the power and impact of photography on the way we sense and experience spaces. Building Images features winning images from The Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards 2014, selected by the acclaimed panel including Kristina Julia Bacht, Sir Terry Farrell, Bjarne Hammer, David Jenkins, Amy Croft, Ken Schluchtmann, Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown. In the short-listing process the panel looked beyond the architecture itself, considering the photographers’ merits in composition, light, sense of place, atmosphere and use of scale.
Building Images is divided into four categories that explore different architectural qualities and a diverse technical approach and methodology. The categories Building in use, Exteriors, Interiors and Sense of place demonstrate a broad range of photographic styles and approaches to the medium as well as featuring a diverse set of outstanding architectural forms.
Sto Werkstatt in collaboration with Arcaid Images aspires to put the focus onto the skill and creativity of the photographer and explore the critical possibilities of photography. Photographers are conveyors of the architectural experience and photography has the unique ability to explore and represent architectural space and form, and even to express fundamental architectural ideas and concepts. It is our hope that through this exhibition, we will spark a wider debate on the use of imagery in the digital era as well as the importance of visual communication tools within the architecture and design industry.
Building Images is free and open to the public from 16 January to 26 February at Sto Werkstatt in Clerkenwell, London. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of talks and seminars, where the public will have the opportunity to explore further the medium of photography as well as talk with leading people in the field of architecture, photography and media.
