20000 photographs
A key aspect of the book’s concept was to visit each location and photograph the architecture projects as they are in their real-life state. We decided that the only way to achieve this uniform quality and singularity of interpretation is to avoid reusing images at all. It was a great experience for me shooting the technical neutral architectural images and at the same time already have thoughts about how they will fit in the book. We ended up using 200 images in the book itself. This is a selection from all 20 locations.
