Photo gallery - Minimalist architectural and urban photos by Julian Faulhaber

iso200 — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:30:43 +0000

Julian Faulhaber's photographs explore the 'constructedness' of places - this set focuses on places that have been built, but which haven't yet been used. This creates a form of ideal world, reflecting the designer/architect's vision before reality has intruded in the form of users and wear and tear.

Photo gallery - Respect the Architect – architectural photos by Franck Bohot

iso200 — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:30:34 +0000

A great set of fabulous architectural photos by French photographer Franck Bohot. His focus on 'empty spaces' provides fascinating results based on the use of symmetry and a limited color palette.

Bruno Cals’ vertical landscapes

iso200 — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:33:07 +0000

Cals uses perspective to 'mislead' the eye by presenting something very common as a landscape. Andrew Klug describes this approach as using “a very unusual perspective to take a commonplace object and make it unrecognisable”.

iso200 photo of the day for Tuesday May 15th - Alhambra view

iso200 — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:55:43 +0000

View looking south from the Calle de San Nicolas by the Iglesia de San Nicholas in the Albaycin of Granada. This is the usual viewing point for the Alhambra – it’s one of the few places in Granada where you can get high enough to get a decent perspective across the small valley at the northern foot of the Alhambra.

Visitor note: buy your tickets in advance – don’t go on the day and hope tickets will be available. Hope is not a good strategy.

iso200 photo of the day for Monday April 23rd - The road to enlightenment

iso200 — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:38:01 +0000

The David Hume Tower is part of the University of Edinburgh’s city centre campus and is located at the south-east corner of George Square. George Square is notable for not only being the first planned square in Edinburgh, but for being the first real suburban development outside of the city’s southern wall – predating the development of Edinburgh’s New Town, which immediately eclipsed it. Despite its apparent solidity it is a rickety building – not only does it move in the wind but the wind whistles through the building in a frankly rather terrifying manner.

iso200 photo of the day for Friday April 20th - The power of Scotland

iso200 — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:30:58 +0000

Designed by Catalan architect Enric Miralles, the Scottish Parliament has won a number of architectural awards, including the 2005 Stirling Prize.

The Scottish Parliament is (by some degree) the most incoherent building I have ever seen. Renowned postmodernist Charles Jencks described it as “quite a meal” – faint praise indeed. A very strange mix of post-modernism, brutalism and vernacular architecture, individual bits of the building are spectacular, but the whole is little more than a regurgitated mass of juxtapositions and alien iconographies.
