This book is written by an architect who has become a professional writer and photographer.It reveals all the technical tricks of the trade simply and without jargon,and at the same time shows how people,in using their cameras,may learn to understand,love and enjoy architecture
in a direct way without having to carry too heavy a burden of dull and passionless
academiscism.
The book is for three kinds of readers: the amateur who wants to know more about a
fascinating branch of photography;the architect or student who wants to learn how to make either records for use or fine
pictures for creative pleasure;anyone who likes to possess a book containing beautiful photographs from all over the world.
The pictures have been selected and
arranged not merely as first-class records of buildings,old and new,made by the world's masters of architectural photography,but as photographs which are striking in themselves,and reveal the visual kinship between photography and architecture,by expressing the sensually pleasing elements of texture contrast, rhythm,space relationship,scale,and monumentality - especially through the medium of the elected close shot.Here are illustrated townscape,wallscape,
floorscape,reflections,the contributions of rain and snow,the drama of perpective and depth of field,the use of light in all
of its strange and evocative moods,the unusual viewpoint of bird or worm,and the
accidental beauties of squalor,decay or of the merely commonplace.
