A promising new voice in European photographic art, this book features a series offering a perspective on a famous architect's buildings that refers to his concept of modern architecture laid out nearly a century ago. The images show exposed concrete, the clarity of geometric shapes, and emblematic polychrome surfaces as symbols of the buildings, investigating what remains today of these visions of architectural modernism, now that its legacy is in many cases adored as a monument rather than actually used and appreciated as a functional piece.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
