Abstract
As students of architecture, we are told how to read a building. Thanks to our lengthy education we can
design, understand and imagine a building or space by using plans. To us they are an essential tool,
but to the vast majority of the population a photograph will provide better understanding of the building
and space. As it portrays what the human eye can observe, and not the coded abstraction that many
plans can be.
Since the invention of the internet, the advances in technology in modern society have changed the way
in which we communicate. We are now able to see thousands of images a day, virtually cost free. Rather
than visiting the actual buildings on site, this is the new way in which millions of users consume design
and architecture. Through various platforms such as pinterest or instagram, we browse an unlimited
stream of images that show us the good, the bad and the ugly.
We now have the possibility to see almost any building at the touch of a button. But it is important to be
aware of the fact that all images we see have gone though a lens, a sensor and editing software.
As an architecture student I feel heavily influenced by the photographs that I am shown at class, or the
reference images that I can find. Usually, this are taken at face value. Without questioning what is the
photographer trying to show us in the photograph, and if what the photographer is showing us is indeed
what the architect wanted us to perceive when he or she was designing the building.
What follows is my personal attempt at observing and portraying architecture through photography.
Structured in three parts; first a brief description of four key elements to composition. Secondly, an
explanation of the techniques used to get the desired result when taking photographs. And nine final
images that are used as case studies.
