Description

Since its invention, photography has been used to mediate the perception of architecture, for both educational and practical architectural purposes. Winfried Nerdinger's <i>Photography for Architects </i>draws on the unrivaled photo collection of the Munich Architekturmuseum to take a broad look at the relation of photography to architecture. The volume is composed of two sections: in the first, Nerdinger examines key architectural motifs and forms, in photographs from the 1850s to the present; in the second section, he demonstrates the potential applications of photography during the design phase. Among the architects and photographers examined here are Edouard-Denis Baldus, Bisson freres, Pascal Sebah, Eero Saarinen, Ezra Stoller, Alfred Roth, Hans Finsler, Paul Schneider-Esleben and Albert Renger-Patzsch. Nerdinger is Director of the museum of architecture of the Technical University of Munich and heads the architecture department at the Munich Gallery of Modern Art.
