MARCELLO MARIANA
GREENHOUSE
ACT_ROMEGIALLI
Volume 32 of DIVISARE BOOKS presents Italian photographer Marcello Mariana's photographic survey of the “Green House” by ACT_Romegialli Architects. The “Green House” project rises as the renovation of a small disused garage, accessory to a weekend house situated on the slopes of the Raethian Alps.
Architectural photography is now one of the most important mediums for recording, documenting, communicating and sharing architecture and constructed space. It is able to convey the dimensions and character of a place, as well as the emotions associated with it. An architectural publication would be unthinkable without such images.
In the digital era architectural photographers have acquired a new role (despite the enduring and increasing silence of the critics), which goes beyond mere documentation: they have become both interpreters and authors. Their visual language determines the way we perceive the contemporary constructed space. Their vision is crucial to the way we see and understand contemporary architecture. Their reflections on the reality not only document the constructed space, but also reveal it to us.
This issue of DIVISARE BOOKS is devoted to architectural photographers and to their stories told through images.
