45 Really Beautiful Architectural Photos

Architectural photography can be broadly considered to encompass views of the exteriors and interiors of domestic, commercial, religious, institutional, and engineering structures, as well as records of the evolution of towns and cities.

Its aim may be to create either visual documents or expressive images for artistic, publicity, or propaganda purposes. Depending on format, carefully calculated camera movements and/or the use of special lenses are required, especially to control perspective. In this post I’am showcasing 40 beautiful architectural photos.

Outpost by Olson Kundig Architects

Set in the remote and harsh high desert landscape of Idaho, Outpost is a residence and studio/workshop for making and displaying art.

The materials used in the structure, including concrete block, car-decking, and plywood, require little or no maintenance, and are capable of withstanding the extreme weather that characterize the desert’s four seasons.
