written in response to Photography and Modern Architecture with Tim Benton, Architectural Association.
This essay explores the unconventional photography of landforms and agriculture in the context of Eric de Maré’s book Architectural Photography and its relation to modern architecture. The pictorial manifestation of architectural photography as depicted by de Maré liberates expression from its subject.

To depict this, Le Corbusier and Martine Franck are examined as photographers who are able to find and reveal existing forms that can be translated into architecture.
