Walter Mair vs. 03 Architects - A Dialogue Between Photography and Architecture

Munich based 03 Architects have in recent years developed a distinctive way of working with urban spaces.

Whether creating a warehouse for building materials, a school, or designing a new neighbourhood, 03 Architects' designs always look closely at the narrative qualities of the city. For this book the architects have invited the photographer Walter Mair to provide a dialogue on their work, concepts and methods.

Mair documents 03 Architects' work with great sensitivity for their ideas, but also for the context with which the buildings reflect and enable, and thereby reaches beyond the classic architectural documentation.

The architects respond to Mair's images in brief, associative texts.

An introductory essay on the fundamental questions and problems of architectural photography by the renowned architectural critic and curator Hubertus Adam rounds out this book with its particular haptic and manufacturing quality.
