Event Description : Building Images : A photography Exhibition featuring 25 years of Swiss Architecture curated by Hubertus Adam and Elena Kossovkaja, Swiss Architecture Museum.

About the exhibition : It is often the case that our perceptions of contemporary architecture are not based on impressions that we obtain on site; instead, they are mediated by images. In a society which, as a result of the "iconic turn", is influenced more by images than by text, photography takes on decisive significance, also in the mediation of architecture. «BUILDING IMAGES» is conceived as a panorama of the last 25 years of Swiss architecture. Buildings which have contributed to the worldwide success of Swiss construction are presented – not by means of plans and models, but solely via the medium of photography. Here, artistic positions enter into a dialog with architectural photography. Rather than limiting itself to stringing together exemplary photographs, the presentation also sheds light on the different aspects of the relationship between image and architecture in an analytical section. What role do images play during the design process? Which architects prefer which photographs? How can three-dimensional architecture be transferred to two dimensional images?
