Focus, frames, looks. Some complementary appreciations about the relationship between architecture and photography

Abstract

The eruption of the 'artificial eye' in our professional world generates a growing attention, parallel to the relevance it acquires as a medium for the documentation and interiorisation of architecture. Photography has earned an extraordinary prominence among the architect's working tools. And it demands a reflection on its level in the context of our general attention to its 'graphic expression'; with special attention to the close relationship between our way of looking and the camera's.
