ArchitectureWeek Description
This monograph combines the eye of a celebrated photographer with the distinctive voice of an artist and adventurer. Each image--selected by the photographer from his own personal archive--is accompanied by a compelling first person account, based on interviews conducted by Martin C. Pedersen, executive editor of Metropolis magazine. Polidori tells behind-the-scene stories about the making of his photographs, takes us to war-torn Beirut and Brasilia and other world capitals, talks about what makes a building photogenic, how he shoots buildings he doesn’t like, his favorite architects, and his love of mosques. A look at the world’s great cities as seen through the eyes of a social observer--and a great photographer. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
