His seemingly timeless photographs depict structures as diverse as the Empire State Building, Le Corbusier's Chapel de Nôtre Dame du Haut, and Tadao Ando's Church of Light in Osaka. The resulting black-and-white photographs,\u0026nbsp;deliberately blurred and shot\u0026nbsp;from unusual angles, are not attempts at documentation, but rather evocation—meant to isolate the buildings from their contexts, allowing them to exist as dreamlike, uninhabited ideals.\u0026nbsp;Other buildings represented in the series are Philippe Starck's Asahi Breweries, Fumihiko Maki's Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium, the United Nations Building, the Chrysler Building, Giuseppi Terragni's Santelia Monument, Como, the World Trade Center, Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Antonio Gaudí’s Casa Batlló II, the 1922 Schindler House, and buildings by Frank Gehry, Frank Lloyd Wright, and many others in Europe, North America, and Asia.\u003cBR style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\"\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\"\u003eExhibition schedule: K 20, Düsseldorf, July 14, 2007–January 6, 2008 · Museum der Moderne, Salzburg, March –\u0026nbsp;June 2008 · \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\"\u003eKunstmuseum Luzern, October 2008 – January 2009\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u003cBR style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874912858376,"sku":"9783775720564","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775720564_d5c4d099-12ef-4126-9be8-cd1570fc57e6.jpg?v=1744098888","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15842-hiroshi-sugimoto","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
