‘photographers are carriers of the architectural experience, and photography has a unique ability to explore and portray space and architectural form, and even express basic architectural concepts‘he said amy farmcurator at the hundred werkstatt. “With this exhibition, we hope to spark a broader debate about the use of images in the digital age, as well as the importance of visual communication tools in the architecture and design industries.”

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.”
