2019 Winners & Finalists
Fish
Pedro Luis Ajuriaguerra Saiz
Judges' Choice Winner, 2019
Due to the reflection of the water at night, the architecture of the buildings shows us the figure of a fish, perhaps prehistoric with its heart still alive.
Metrostation
Alexandr Bormotin
Public's Choice Winner, 2019
The new Moscow metro station is made in a futuristic style.
Skywards
Debdatta ChakrabortyThe House of the Black Madonna is a cubist building in the Old Town area of Prague, Czech Republic. The building was designed and built between 1911 and 1912. Josef Gocár built the house as the first example of cubist architecture in Prague, and it remains probably the most celebrated.
Bank
Jonathan WallandI use minimalism as a method of enabling clarity. My process eliminates distraction, keeping the viewer focused on the purest elements of photography; form, light, texture and the way these components amalgamate.
Kunststück
Pegova OlyaIn the past, faux facades were rare and temporary interventions in urban spaces, but today they have become a part of the city landscape, only being changed from time to time.
Axonometry
Grzegorz TatarThis is an aerial view of the underground entrance to the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw. It is an excellent example of axonometry in architecture.
Colourful Mixture
Volker SanderThis picture shows the peaceful coexistence of old and new architecture. The buildings don't fit together, but they are not fighting against each other. They show the creative development in the City centre.
Eiffel Bridge
Jose Pessoa NetoPeople were waiting for the street festival ‘Senhora da Agonia’, one of the biggest in Portugal. From the street, I saw these beautiful silhouettes, the bridge, the green crosses and the building behind in harmony.
Sea and Humans
David Martin Huamani BedoyaThe intervention of man in nature is not always bad. The photo shows the tranquillity of nature and a balcony from where people can better appreciate it.
Muralla Roja
Agnese SanvitoWhen I photographed La Muralla Roja, it felt like being in a De Chirico painting for the dreamlike feel of the place. This image encapsulates for me the sense of light and colour in photography that I enjoy most, and which are important to my work. The blue frame offers a cinematic view as entering into a new dimension and the soft tones of the early morning light captures the calmness and quietness of the building in its setting.
Bexhill Promenade Shelter
Adam ReganIt is an elegant and appealing solution to a mundane problem.
At Work
Volker SanderThe photo is an example of needful interaction between humans and buildings. Without the busy people cleaning the giant glass frames of the tower, the building would look quite ugly.
