The fields of photography and architecture have long been closely
linked: photography provides a powerful way for architecture to be
appreciated from a distance, and the camera lens alters and
enhances buildings so that they can be appreciated anew, even by
those already intimately familiar with them. "Concrete: Photography
and Architecture "explores this deep and often complex
relationship, with particular attention paid not only to how
photography influences the perception of architecture but also the
very design itself. Beginning with the invention of photography in
the nineteenth century, this volume presents iconic images of urban
architecture and townscapes that are organized thematically rather
than simply chronologically. The editors have assembled over two
hundred images from numerous notable photographers, including:
Georg Aerni, Adolphe Braun, Balthasar Burkhard, Lynn Cohen, Walker
Evans, Lucien Herve, Germaine Krull, Stanley Kubrick, Hiroshi
Sugimoto, and William Henry Fox Talbot. Originally published to
coincide with an exhibition celebrating the Fotomuseum Winterthur's
twentieth anniversary, "Concrete Photography and Architecture "is
an exhaustive investigation of architectural photography and is as
beautiful as it is informative.
