Sobre el libro Shooting Space de publicado por Phaidon al 2014:

A visual survey of contemporary architecture photography, featuring the work of Iwan Baan, Luisa Lambri Catherine Opie, Thomas Ruff, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and more. Since the invention of photography, architecture has proved a worthy subject for photographers. Shooting Space: Architecture in Contemporary Photography showcases the relationship between the two practices. The book presents a broad spectrum of work from a diverse roster of renowned and emerging artists: Annie Leibovitz captures the construction of Renzo Piano?s New York Times building; James Welling revisits Philip Johnson`s iconic Glass House; Walter Niedermayr shifts perspectives on SANAA´s sculptural designs. The book is divided into five chapters, covering collaborations between photographer and architect, global urbanization, alterations to the natural landscape, reappraised Modernist icons, and imagined environments. Presenting a fresh study of outstanding work in contemporary architectural photography, Shooting Space not only provides an engaging display of beautiful photography, but will reward the reader with a considered survey of our built environment.
