II Seminario Internacional de Arquitectura Moderna y Fotografía 2016

For more than one hundred years, photography has been established as the main channel of communication between architects and society, and among architects themselves, with an undeniable impact on both the visual and the technical and social aspects of architectural projects. Recently, relevant publications have been issued on the subject and numerous exhibitions and seminars have been held.

This second seminar will focus on the urban dimension of architecture and its photographic record. The capacity of architecture to shape the city and provide it with a visual and spatial order is a fact that can be verified in the light of many modern proposals. This activity is promoted by the FORM+ Research Group, within the framework of the research project entitled: Recovery and dissemination of the photographic archives of Modern Architecture for the development of an operational visual heritage (HAR2013-45096-R), financed by the State Programme for Research, Development and Innovation oriented towards the challenges of Society by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.

The viewing of all audiovisual materials in this arquia/film library series is possible thanks to the collaboration and authorisation of the FORM+ Research Group of the ETSA Barcelona - UPC
