ORTHOGRAPHS by Yiorgis Yerolymbos

Yiorgis Yerolymbos focuses on architecture, corporate and landscape photography. He is especially interested in human altered and industrial landscapes since 1995. For more than two decades, he approaches each project, commissioned or self initiated by attempting to strike a delicate, yet precise balance between content and form as he strongly believes that “photography must be consistent both with the world, which is the basis of science, and with itself, which is the basis of art”. He works at any given site, environment or country that demands his attention.

He uses a number of different techniques working with medium format digital backs and cameras of the highest quality in order to insure results that satisfy any customer needs. Over the years he managed to master his craft and put together a team of highly qualified and dedicated professionals in the fields of graphic design, printing and publishing that enables him to undertake projects that go beyond photographic services and extend as far as creating corporate annual reports, company brochures and advertising publications.

The Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) was established in 1981 by Renzo Piano with offices in Genoa, Italy and Paris, France. The practice has since expanded and now also operates from New York.

RPBW is led by 10 partners, including founder and Pritzker Prize laureate, architect Renzo Piano.

The practice permanently employs about 130 architects together with a further 30 support staff including 3D visualization artists, model makers, archivers, administrative and secretarial staff.

Their staff has a wide experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams on building projects in France, Italy and abroad.

As architects, they are involved in the projects from start to finish. They usually provide full architectural design services and consultancy services during the construction phase. Their design skills extend beyond mere architectural services. Their work also includes interior design services, town planning and urban design services, landscape design services and exhibition design services.
