Photography has become content, instantly uploaded and peer-reviewed in ‘likes’. The Construction of an Image assumes the opposite stance wherein Dutch photographer Bas Princen takes a single image – Ringroad, Houston – to deconstruct and discuss in detail. By studying one photograph, time is given over to process to enable insight into the mind of the photographer and to make manifest the chronology of a project’s conception to its realisation.

"How do photographers select, order, and display their images to make visual arguments about built and natural environments? Conceived as part of a long-term project at the CCA to examine the contemporary role of photography in the study and practice of architecture, The Lives of Documents--Photography as Project prompts reflections on the idea of the documentary as an embedded quality of photography. Tracing the research materials, archiving practices, and production processes of diverse authors, photographers Bas Princen and Stefano Graziani highlight a selection of photographic projects that model our visible world by investigating notions of landscape and its destruction, global infrastructure, intimacy and interiority, and conditions of urban and domestic space and life. This publication follows Princen and Graziani's travels to understand how artists use photography as a tool for their artistic research and how they conceive of their projects as evolving and expanding explorations. Bringing together studio visit images, artist interviews, and Princen and Graziani's own reproduction of photographic projects, it emphasizes how photography reveals and expresses lived and built realities in ways that traditional architectural tools fail to represent or communicate."--

Bas Princen (*1975 in Zeeland, the Netherlands) belongs to a generation of photographers who in their very own way make reference to so-called New Topographics. This is a group of what in the meantime consists of ten big-name landscape photographers, including Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Stephen Shore, and of course Bernd and Hilla Becher, who had their first big international success in 1975 with an exhibition of the same name at George Eastman House in Rochester. While they distanced themselves from subjectively-tinged photography in an attempt to render stark reality as faithfully as possible, Princen objectifies urban space in a comparable way, but with an ironic twist. Seen through Princen's lens, anonymous urban architecture assumes an almost magical and slightly surrealist air.

Architecture Without Content is the first publication of five studio reports from workshops taught by Kersten Geers at Columbia University, Mendrisio Academy of Architecture, Graz University of Technology and EPFL Lausanne. Beginning as a study of ‘The Big Box’, a big industrial building that could contain many things, the Architecture Without Content studio develops the idea of a possible architecture of the perimeter, a pragmatic kind of architecture that remains radical and precise. Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. Only the economy of the envelope determines the success of the building. Its radical frugality does not make it less critical. Economy of means is the weapon of choice to express its ideology. Architecture Without Content finds its roots in the Big Box. Architecture Without Content is too big to ignore. Architecture Without Content started as a study of the big box. It ends as an exercise in form and classicism. The twelve issues collected here complete the full set of 33 incarnations of Architecture Without Content. Architecture Without Content was always interested in an architecture that is reduced to its perimeter. That has not changed. Architecture Without Content is difficult, troubled, realistic and conscious. It always tries to figure out where the project happens.
