2. Building With Light: An International History of Architectural Photography
by Robert Elwall (Hardcover - April 1, 2004)
Avg. Customer Rating:
Ever since the invention of the medium, photography has enjoyed a close and mutually stimulating relationship with architecture, underlined by the description of photography as "building with light". This book explores the development of architectural photography and some of its key themes. Among these are the way architectural photography initially relied on pre-photographic modes of architectural rendering; the gradual emergence of a specific aesthetic of architectural photography and the growth of specialist firms documenting the nineteenth-century building boom; the influence of photography during this period on both architectural practice and history; the impact of the invention of half-tone reproduction; the influence of the 'New Photography' during the inter-war years and the significance of this period in establishing the camera as the undisputed mediator of architecture; the role of photography in the spread of Modernism; the impact of color photography during the 1970s and 1980s; and today's digital revolution. Authoritatively written by a world-renowned expert, and with fascinating and stunning images drawn from collections throughout the world, this book will appeal to architects and photography enthusiasts everywhere.

6. Architecture in the Box : Architectural Photography 1980-1995
by Gerald Zugmann, et al

Architecture has long been the subject that has dominated Gerald Zugmann`s work, but his photography has, from the outset, aimed at more than the simple reproduction of architectural reality. His black and white photographs are portraits: pictures that attempt to capture the essence of a building - its personality as it were. These eminently artistic and sensitive interpretations using the camera have resulted in Gerald Zugmann being a much sought-after partner for architects and one of the most respected photographers. The choice of the architectural projects shown is purely subjective and illustrates the work of five Austrian architects (Coop Himmelblau, Günther Domenig, Boris Podrecca, Carl Pruscha and Peter Noever). The book is completed by photographs of the tomb (Tomba Brion) by Carlo Scarpa in S. Vito d`Altivole, the radical architectural concept of which links it to the work of Gerald Zugmann.
