Architecture Against The Sky is a topic of investigation that I chose as a part of my study abroad assignment. The title tells it all; it is simply a photo-series that utilized the sky as the background. Similar to the DETAIL series, I wanted to explore these photos in high-contrast, black-and-white. Before finishing this series, I asked for opinions from my buddy Alex whether or not should I do this series in color. He said yes, and gave me his reasons. However, I decided to go with the high-contrast saturated aesthetic. This is because I was really interested in the architecture to be represented as a uniform structure, the synergy between architectural form and structural system. In many ways, I feel that color would differentiate the architecture into many components and distract our attention towards it instead of the form, material, and the architectural beauty of the structure. Anyway, I hope that you would find this series as interesting and beautiful as I do.
Thanks,
