Columbia GSAPP presents architectural models and photos in Stagecraft exhibition
Intricate models of buildings by Le Corbusier, Norman Foster, Peter Zumthor and more are going on show at New York's Columbia University, alongside photographs by James Ewing.
The scale models were created by students at Columbia's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) between 1993 and 2004.
This model of Norman Foster's Renault Distribution Center, Swindon, UK, was photographed inside GSAPP's Ross Gallery along with the five others
To photograph the models, Ewing took over the Ross Gallery for a week to experiment with different lighting, framing and staging techniques. He looked to the work of other architectural photographers, studying the archive of Louis Checkman and exchanging ideas with Jock Pottle.
"Rather than realistic constructions that simulate buildings, Ewing's images instead offer a meditation on how the intersection of material and visual modes of representation can prompt new ways of seeing, understanding and talking about architecture," GSAPP said.
