TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS FOR ARCHITECTURE

Architecture is a broad subject that we faced it easily in everyday life so it is not surprising that architecture has relation with photography. I think architectural photography means taking structure photographs which indicate the relations between the structure and environment or the relations among the elements of the structure.

I took some photographs in TED University Architecture Studios. I tried to create frame in frame condition in my photographs

That photograph is one of them. Actually, I liked it but there is a problem about the frame condition. Using the element which exists in the building as a frame is more effective than using another thing as a frame.

For that reason, I took another photograph that contains frame in frame condition.

That is the other photograph. I used the window as a frame. It also provides reflection condition to me so it gives indirect information the environment near the building.

THE DISCOVERY OF EXTREMITIES OF SPATIAL CONDITIONS

At that stage, I produced two extreme conditions of my seed (my previous model). In order to decide my extreme conditions, I analysed my phrase(variation of continuous spaces). I think deciding on opposite extreme of the phrase was harder than the other extreme because the opposite of ‘variation of continuous spaces’ is ‘variation of discontinuous spaces’. I think it is difficult to work on discontinuity condition since controlling discontinuous spaces is so hard. Therefore, for opposite extreme of my phrase, I decided on work with spaces that interrupt the relations of continuous spaces.

Those are extremes of my seed.

This seed is the extreme condition of continuous spaces.

This model contains spaces that interrupts the ralations of continuous spaces.

STARTING TO SOW MY SEED!

At that step, I tried to discover how to create spaces by using a phrase that initiates my model that is called ‘seed’. My phrase is ‘variation of continuous spaces’. Actually, I faced some difficulties because I had no idea about controlling the spaces. I thought that If I define some space types and try to repeat them, I can obtain controlled spaces. However, it did not happen like that because when I combined two spaces, new spaces arose. For this reason, the result of the model did not make me satisfied.

That’s my seed.
