Fernando Guerra2015 award winner commented on his photo: I tried to be as invisible as possible and capture the reality of the project in such a way that it includes anyone who accidentally ends up in this place. photography illustrates values ​​that go beyond the scale and form of the project, as it uses the presence of people to bring architecture to life. I believe that such an image, obtained by chance and certainly not as a result of great planning, gives the space meaning, creates rhythms that the architects probably planned – I was there to help tell the story.”
