Best architecture photograph of 2016 revealed
A shot of a brick reservoir in London's Finsbury Park has been selected as the best architecture photograph of the year at the Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards 2016.
The image, taken by British photographer Matt Emmett, captures the brick arches of the covered reservoir, which was designed by the East London Waterworks Company in 1868.
Emmett's speciality is capturing scenes of ruined or derelict architecture, and he runs the website Forgotten Heritage.
This is the the first time in the award's four-year running that a photograph of a historic location has been given the prize.
The Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards aims to highlight the expertise of specialist architectural photographers, and this year accepted entries under four categories: Exteriors, Interiors, Sense of Place and Buildings in Use.
