15 Images and Why I Chose Them

Orange Passage: Gerard Jonkman, http://1x.com/photo/40112/category/architecture/latest-additions/orange-passage

Colour is very important in architectural design.

City of Colours: Paula Loonen, http://1x.com/photo/41004/category/architecture/latest-additions/city-of-colours

Contrast of colours is also important and interesting in architectural design.

Contemplation: Dario Martins, http://1x.com/photo/41394/category/architecture/latest-additions/contemplation

Scale is an interesting thing to work with in design, as well as Black/white compositions in scenes.

Lady with Hat: Takami, http://1x.com/photo/43169/category/architecture/latest-additions/lady-with-hat

Composition of scenes is important when thinking about animation/videos, and the use of the space by people is important to consider when designing.

Triangular caleidoscope: Dan C.H., http://1x.com/photo/42974/category/architecture/latest-additions/triangular-caleidoscope

The use of reflections, colours, different types of surfaces, and the POV are all very dynamic here.

Stunning Expo: Thomas Sivilay, http://1x.com/photo/42348/category/architecture/latest-additions/stunning-expo

Texture is important to consider when designing, as well as complex shapes.

Ensanche: elena pueyo, http://1x.com/photo/41650/category/architecture/latest-additions/ensanche

Great colour to consider using, bright and interesting, eye-catching and yet not over-the-top.

Berlin, 06: nikifrank, http://nikifrank.deviantart.com/art/Berlin-06-158854805?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=261

Consider tones, and simple shapes can work very well and create atmosphere.


Shanghai - Huangpu River: angelreich, 2010-2011, http://angelreich.deviantart.com/art/Shanghai-Huangpu-River-187269081?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=59

Think of a cityscape/architectural design as "alive".

Spiders' View: andreimogan, 2011, http://andreimogan.deviantart.com/art/Spiders-view-244338151?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=68

Very interesting camera perspective used here, consider for capturing certain feelings in the space and a new way of looking at previously simple spaces. Lighting is also interesting.


When Water Meets Color: BenHeine, 2011, http://benheine.deviantart.com/art/When-Water-Meets-Color-208543448?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=135

Great use of different colours here, worn materials on walls is something to consider for a more authentic look (when creating a 'fake' version). Context of water and buildings together, with reflections is good to consider.

A World Askew: lorrainemd, 2003-2011, http://lorrainemd.deviantart.com/art/A-world-askew-3707962?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=153

Composition is interesting, good use of colours and dimmed lighting, with a person to balance the scene. Person's use of space.

...Wroclaw4...: canismaioris, 2010-2011, http://canismaioris.deviantart.com/art/Wroclaw4-164288012?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=30

Effective use of mood lighting, using a spotlight. Interesting materials with patterns and a fairly simple model with lots of connotations and atmospheric qualities.


Stonehenge: angelreich, 2008-2011, http://angelreich.deviantart.com/art/Stonehenge-87560057?q=boost%3Apopular%20in%3Aphotography%2Farchitecture&qo=6

Use of background/sky is great because of the movement you can see in a still image. Gives an intense atmosphere in the image.

National Performing Arts Center, Beijing: Lance McMillan, Photo of the Day August 22nd 2010, http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/beigjing-performing-arts-center/

Use of reflections, plenty of lighting and great colour scheme.
