 Architecture and Urban Landscape  3rd  to 14th of July 2017 

¿Are you a student of photography, architecture or interior design?. Perhaps you are a professional architect or interior designer, or just a passionate amateur photographer visiting Barcelona. 
The Programme : 

Whether you are a photography student or a professional, an architect or indeed an enthusiast amateur with a curious mind, the Architecture & Urban Landscape workshop  is suitable to anyone with an interest in the city as a playground for visual exploration.

Louis Kahn “ Often the image we carry in our mind´s eye of any particular great building was first seen through the lens by Ezra Stoller”. 

"...Attributed to the new wave of architectural awareness, today, this simple nature and purpose of the architectural photograph has been infested with twenty first century commercialism and the mass culture debate. The photography of architecture thus places itself in an important position within society, highlighting what we may experience but no necessarily notice, and enabling us to see sights that we may not been able to see with our own eyes". Claire Bandy, Architect and researcher, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom 2005.

Photography of Architecture.

This introductory 2 days lecture will be a presentation of how photography of architecture has evolved over time, looking at the history of representation of the built environment and the entwined relationship between architecture and photography. It will also offer students the opportunity to know first hand about my experience as professional in the discipline. From brief reading, negotiating of fees, prep work prior to the shooting  to photography on location, digital post production to marketing and distribution of images in an increasingly competitive digital world. Addressing issues related to archive management and issuing contracts for architects and interior designers, as well as  licensing copyrights (Rights Manage vs Royalty Free) for editorial, corporate and advertising clients.

Urban Landscape; the assignment.

At the end of the first day, students will be asked to think of a project that they will carry out during the duration of the workshop. The workshop proposes an exploration of the city and its built environment as a subject of visual interest. Focusing on the production of a body of work, students will be asked to develop a personal project on a given topic as the result of the exploration of the city and its urban and human fabric. The city as a  canvas, a theatrical stage where multiple realities converge and can be explored visually.  Ideas such as life in a neighborhood, social vs landmark architecture, urban utopias, private versus public or appropriation of the territory, are just few of the immense variety of topics that can be explored. However students will be encouraged to think out of the box a come with ideas of their own to be developed as a photographic project.
