A photographic journey between the buildings of a relentlessly growing city. It is a deep immersion into the city’s thick atmospheres and a visual record of its wildly diverse built environment.
Photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze made a point to look up at the geometry and art that the structures surrounding us create. The entire series of images are available in his book Vertical Horizons.

Using pieces of cherry, oak, ash, and maple James McNabb carefully creates bandsaw cut abstracted architectural forms that he combines in a wheel, table and sphere.
The City Series is a collection of wood sculptures that represent a woodworker’s journey from the suburbs to the city. Each piece depicts the outsider’s perspective of the urban landscape. Made entirely of scrap wood, this work is an interpretation of making something out of nothing. Each piece is cut intuitively on a band saw. The result is a collection of architectural forms, each distinctly different from the next.
Beneath the streets of Munich, photographer Nick Frank patently waits for the quite moments when the usually busy corridors, paths and stairs of the Munich subways empty. See more of his brilliant work on Behance’s Photography Served.
Full of overwhelming craftsmanship and detail, photographer David Stephenson captures the vaults and ceilings of European architecture from Romanesque to Gothic.
Commissioned by the 100 year-old Ajax Amsterdam football club, Sid Lee Architecture in collaboration with gsmprjct° created a truly immersive fan experience for the legendary team.
Walking into the museum you go through the hall of “Giants” visualizing the important club members and glorious moments. Through the hall you travel into The Ajax Academy filled with multimedia rooms and interactive training areas. Once you have practiced your technique and speed hear an inspiring speech from the club’s coach and head into the stadium to hear the roar of the crowd.
Apparently I’m a fan of Sid Lee’s work since this is the third time I have posted one of their projects. They certainly deserve the recognition. Also see Bota Bota and Redbull Amsterdam HQ.
Filled with wall-to-wall polygons, Sid Lee Architecture transformed the old shipbuilding factory into a new and creative headquarters for Redbull Amsterdam. Using a juxtaposition of ideas—light vs dark, arts vs industry—the new headquarters is a perfect fit for the Redbull brand and location.

I’ve posted about photographer Kim Høltermand in the past for the Deserted City, but his work still continues to amaze me with his latest series Majestics. The foggy ambiance he captures adds an eerie and serene mood to all of his work.

Combining 3D art, graphic design, typography and architecture, Chris Labrooy created a series of renders inspired by the architectural style of Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Oscar Niemeyer, and Toyo Ito. The detail and imagination that went into each of the pieces is quite inspiring.
Austin architects Andersson-Wise did an amazing job on this modern and natural tower house on the water outside of Austin, Texas. I could definitely live here. One day in the future I would love to be able to hire an architect to custom design a home full a character.
Beautiful example of Nordic architecture that blends into the scenic Stegastein lookout in the Aurlandsfjellet region of Norway. The gravity defying Aurland Lookout was designed by Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen and commissioned by the Norwegian Highway Department.

Moody and epic series of architecture photos, Deserted City, was captured by Denmark freelance landscape and architecture photographer Kim Høltermand. During the day Kim works as a fingerprints expert in The Crime Scene Unit of The Danish National Police.
“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.”
