architectural
Photography
Through architectural photography, the studio specializes in the visual documentation and representation of architecture and the built environment. The aim is to establish a connection between architecture and the viewer, allowing a building’s qualities, materiality, and atmospheric nuances to be experienced through photography in an immersive and meaningful way that goes beyond simple documentation. By capturing the relationship between the building and its environment, the aim is to convey a sense of place and to illustrate how an architectural project interacts with its context and users.
INTERIOR
Photography
Interior and architectural photography are closely related. Understanding materiality, composition, form, light, behavior, and design principles helps convey a space's nuances, subtleties, unique features, and certain atmosphere, whether interior or exterior. By capturing a space on the basis of its architectural design principles, photography preserves and showcases its inherent qualities, whether historical or contemporary.
Territorial
Photography
When studying landscapes, architectural photography has the potential to capture and highlight elements of the environment that are often overlooked in traditional forms of landscape representations. This includes the intricate details, entanglements, and atmospheres of man-made processes, urban structures, and hybrid creations that arise and transform in coastal territories in the Anthropocene. The studio investigates how architectural photography can go beyond simply representing architecture as standalone, singular objects and instead highlight the interconnectedness and interdependence of architecture and environment within territories.
COAST
Research Practice
Through COAST, the studio explores how architecture can be aesthetically framed as being part of its environment – framing both the objects and its territory. By re-positioning photography from typically being a supplement to the classical architectural tools to instead becoming an active mediator of the atmospheres and typologies that arise when architecture and nature intersect, the studio hopes to shed new light on how architecture is shaping and is being shaped by the territories it occupies.
