Abstract

Architecture journals present to us new buildings, pioneering ideas and triumphs of creative innovation"¦ yet they are largely deserted. This paper argues against the negative impact of this on design culture and a resultant aspiration to design spaces that are not the territory of the body. A different approach is suggested in which the photographic communication of buildings might evolve to not only portray populated spaces but also to describe human experience - temporal, personal, expressive. The paper explores photographic theory, architectural representation and image psychology but is not limited to written discourse. Instead it reflects an 'action-research' series of alternative photographic experiments.
