9 Of The Year's Best Photographs Of Buildings 

9 of the Year's Best Photographs of Buildings

Most architectural photography these days is about capturing a building’s “hero shot”, that single perfect image and angle where the light flits through the glass and, for a second, real life looks like a perfectly executed digital rendering. These are not those photos.

Every year the construction industry’s Chartered Institute of Building holds an architectural photography competition that looks for images that aren’t necessarily the most perfect depiction of architecture — but that expose the real lives of structures and, as it calls its contest The Art of Building. It’s a charming competition, and it’s open to anyone — which means the results are extraordinarily diverse, compared toother yearly architectural photography awards that typically cater to well-known names.

Check out a few of the nominees below with comments by the photographers who shot them — and vote for the finalists here.

“The multiple layers created by this architectural form with a human attending to it as if carefully repositioning the triangle shapes herself.”


Getting Lost On a Roof by Wahid Adnan, shot in Bangladesh

“A Muslim man is deep into his thoughts on a roof of a building surrounded by other buildings. Access to a roof in Dhaka is not always possible for people as the owners don’t allow tenants to go up.”
