Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book documents a decade-long co-operation of the photographer Gerald Zugmann with the architectural team COOP HIMMELB(L)AU. The architects, who call themselves "post-industrial expressionists", base their work on spontaneous and psychographic images and models. Gerald Zugmann, who has photographed architecture by Carlo Scarpa, Frank Lloyd Wright, Rudolph M. Schindler, Louis I. Kahn and Gunther Domenig among others, has established an entirely new generation of architectural photography in the course of some 30 years. His photographs are not about the functional aspects of architecture, but rather, Zugmann looks for the perspective, which reveals the essence of a project. His emphasis on light and shadow and a tight focus on outstanding details lets the idea of a building take shape in dramatic pictures comparable to still lifes.
