Metamorphosis or materiality of architectural photography

Skobe, Ana (author)

The incipience of this contribution is the exploration of the materiality of architectural photography through the central concept of metamorphosis, which Akos Moravanszky develops as a key concept of modern architecture in his work Metamorphism: material change in architecture. We will address this through two themes or questions: firstly, the question of architectural materialisation and secondly, the relationship between analogue and digital in photography. The aim is to redefi ne or expand the concept, to exhibit how the possibilities opened up by contemporary architectural photography in relation to the problem of materiality allow us to see how the key aspect of modern architecture, namely metamorphism, manifests itself. This will be a kind of reinforcement of the thesis that architectural photography is a generative force for architecture.

Abstract

Izhodišče prispevka je raziskava materialnosti arhitekturne fotografi je z osrednjim pojmom metamorfoze, ki ga Akos Moravanszky v svojem delu Metamorphism: material change in architecture razvije kot ključen pojem moderne arhitekture. Tega bomo obravnavali s torišča dveh problematik oziroma vprašanj, in sicer arhitekturne materializacije ter odnosa med analognim in digitalnim v fotografi ji. Cilj je ponovno opredeliti oziroma razširiti pojem, z namenom, da bi pokazali, kako možnosti, ki jih odpira sodobna arhitekturna fotografi ja v odnosu do problema materialnosti, omogočajo, da vidimo, kako se manifestira ključni aspekt moderne arhitekture, ki je metamorfi zem. To bo neke vrste podkrepitev teze, da je arhitekturna fotografi ja za arhitekturo generativna sila.
