Paul Ott is one of the most prominent contemporary European architectural photographers. His documentation of contemporary architecture is published in numerous international journals and books. However, Ott's photos always convey more than the mere physiognomy of buildings. In free photo series, he examines structures that influence our perception of the environment at least as much as the architecture of the architects: anonymous agricultural buildings, high-rise buildings and their fate, as well as the dramatic backdrop of large cities such as Sao Paolo. The book offers a representative cross-section of Paul Ott's photographic oeuvre and makes it clear that environmental design is based to a large extent on "learned" media images about and with architecture.Four essays illuminate the work from the perspectives of art theory and architecture.
