ARCHITECTURE SHOOT

ANGLES AND SHAPES

Anything other than a right angle or a rectangular shape is worth photographing, and right angles can even be interesting if photographed well. Buildings are a collection of shapes. Photographers should look at them that way and emphasize interesting geometry whenever possible.

SSURROUNDINGS

Buildings exist in a setting, and that setting helps to define the story of the building. Is the building in harmony with its surroundings or does it stick out like a sore thumb. If your shooting a wide exterior shot of a building, try to show how it interacts with the surroundings. Consider framing the building with its surroundings.

DETAILS

Wide shots of the entire building often don't give you a full sense of the character of a structure. The best way is often to get close (either literally or with telephoto lens) and get nice shots of the little details that make a building special.

LIGHTING

The way that light interacts with and travels through a building is a big part of the mood of a building. By finding areas where natural and artificial light create dramatic scenes, and photographing these with a slow shutter speed (tripod is helpful) a photographer can capture the light as it defines the building.

PATTERN

 Repeated patterns often define the large interior and exterior spaces of a building. By framing a shot so as to maximize the effects of repeated lines, structures and shapes, a photographer can capture the visual rhythm of a building.

ARCHITECTURE PREVIEW

NAUTILUS HOUSE, MEXICO

1. Javier senosiain of Arquitectura Organica
2. Was built in 2006
3. It's located in Mexico city
4. It's a private house
5. I couldn't find any
6. A young couple with children was living in a conventional home and was tired of it and wanted to live in some that had to do with nature.
7. I picked this building bc it reminds of something from Alice in Wonderland, It's so unique and creative and weird but in a good way. The idea of it seems so crazy but the artictect actually made it work, with different levels and a working bathroom. The inside is crazy like it's outside, but actually inside, from the outside it looks a little small but it's really big on the inside. The bathroom looks the coolest to me, the spout for the shower looks like something from Dr.seus and the sink as well.

CUBIC HOUSES, NETHERLANDS

1. Piet Blom

2. 1977

3. Rotterdam, Netherlands

4. They're are private homes

5. I couldn't find any

6. Piet wanted to give the concept of "living as an urban roof"

7. I picked this place because of the name and then when i saw the houses i was intrigued. The idea of living in a cube, but also not really living in a cube is crazy, i want to know how he came up with the idea on the spot. The way they're lined up is the weirdest, it's like something from minecraft. From the outside they like gigantic and so fascinating, it makes me want to get inside a giant cardboard box and picture what it's like. 

STONE HOUSE GUIMARAES PORTUGAL

1. 

2. 1974

3. Guimaraes, Portugal

4. It's a private home, but the owner moved somewhere else because of the incoming visitors and vandalism. 

5. I couldn't find any

6. It was inspired by the Flintstones cartoon

7. I picked this because of the Cartoon becoming a reality and how cool it is that someone thought to do this. When i read that it has a swimming pool and a working fireplace i was highly intrigued. It also reminds of Shrek the movie when Fionia went in the cave and moved  rock wall on the outside. It's so unique and strange looking but adorable at the same time, I would want to visit it someday. 

1. Szotyńscy & Zaleski 

2. built in 2004

3. sopot, switzerland

4. It's a public building, welcomed to visitors

5. could not find any

6. It was inspired by a fairytale and drawings by Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg

7.  I chose this picture because it looked unreal, it was like i had to see it to believe it. I could't imagine what it would be like on the inside but this photo makes me feel like it came out of a Dr.Seus story. This house reminded me of the upside down house in Orlando, Florida. 

SCULPTURED HOUSE

1. charles deaton

2. 1963

3. Genesee Mountain

4. This is a private home

5. I couldn't find how much it was to make 

6. Charles was standing high on the mountain and loved how it connected with nature so he wanted to build something that reached high. 

7. I picked his house because when i looked it up and saw how it was made it reminded me of the house in Charlie Angels and i thought it was very modern looking but also spacey looking. The fact that it looks like a taco with no straight angles or stiff arches gives it a really unique effect. 

SENSORY OVERLOAD

1. I think this statement says a lot but also says a little. I agree with the statement saying we are defining our environments as the things we buy and where we buy them, in buildings. This makes me think that my photography is based more upon objects rather then the real environment in between.

2. I really did want to take my camera and visit these places, i was amazed by how much color there was. I wanted to go see for myself how much color and objects i can put in one photo.

3. I feel like the child would be overwhelmed, the parents would always be working and stocking and when your older they would make you do the same. To be the child would be hard, they would always want to spend time with the parents but they're busy, but i'm sure some points are good like getting free toys maybe.

4. My favorite photo is the store with all the inflatable balls pop, i see all the reds, pinks, greens, yellows on the balls and all the different characters on the balls. Theres even balls hanging in nets from the celling, there's a guy looking bored on his phone and a lady working at the desk talking to a different lady. The store is covered from head to toe in inflatable balls.
