During the World Architecture Festival, a highly acclaimed panel that included Kristina Julia Bacht, Sir Terry Farrell, Bjarne Hammer, David Jenkins, Amy Croft, Ken Schluchtmann, Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown judged the awards. In the short-listing process, the panel looked beyond the architecture itself, considering the photographers’ merits in composition, light, sense of place, atmosphere and use of scale.

“Building Images” is divided into four categories that explore different architectural qualities and a diverse technical approach and methodology. The categories ‘Building in Use’, ‘Exteriors’, ‘Interiors’ and ‘Sense of Place’ demonstrate a broad range of photographic styles and approaches to the medium as well as featuring a diverse set of outstanding architectural forms.

The exhibition focuses on the medium’s practice, methodology and means of architectural representation. Sto Werkstatt in collaboration with Arcaid Images has sought to examine the skill and creativity of the photographer and explore the critical possibilities of photography. “Building Images” is accompanied by a series of talks and seminars, where the public will have the opportunity to explore further the medium of photography as well as talk with leading people in the field of architecture, photography and media.
