The conceptual foundation for my work lies in the idea of "interaction." I work towards exposing this idea in its more basic and routine form, as well as the broad scope of it. Ranging beyond the common associations made with human to human interaction, my work enters a number of realms including environmental, architectural, and intra-personal interactions, working amongst the subtleties of each. I seek to create an image of relate-able experience, thus I feel the medium of photography is necessitated, as it is rooted in the idea of documentary and realism, in effect, cataloguing images of or influenced by the outside world.

This study aims to analyze the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals within architectural media that shape today&amp / #8217 / s architectural production. This aim is accomplished in three sections / examining the power of image in architecture / examining architectural media and examining the periodicals&amp / #8217 / attitudes towards using architectural photography. A case study is done to uncover the relationship between the photograph and the medium that it takes place on and determine the continuities and discontinuities between the architecture and visual language that is used to &amp / #8216 / represent&amp / #8217 / it. Zaha Hadid is selected as she is one of the leading figures in contemporary architectural culture and her projects are widely published in media. The exemplary periodicals from different cultural domains are selected according to their positions in architectural media. Selected examples are thought to be the representative for each domain. The contextual properties of each domain are outlined and compared through a set of variables. These variables appear to form the ground for the identification of the limits of architectural media within contemporary architectural production. Finally, the case study aims to understand the periodicals&amp / #8217 / attitudes towards using photographic imagery and finally compare architect&amp / #8217 / s intentions and design considerations about his projects and the way it is represented in selected periodicals.

Since its invention, photography has been accepted as a reliable tool for achitecture in terms of its power for creating objective documents of the built-form. The aim of this study, is to question the so-called objectivity and reliability of the photographic representations of the buildings by showing how architectural photography emerges also with an artistic and purely aesthetic character rather than being a mere tool of objective documentation. Taking this formal emphasis on architectural subject as a basis, a broader focus will be given to the photogenic character of the images used in architectural publications. Instead of reflecting real spatial experience, these idealized photographs are used in a given context to constitute a fiction that alters the viewer&#039 / s understanding of the architectural subject. Therefore, the main question is not whether architectural photography is an objective tool of documentation which is capable to represent architecture as it really is or it is a category of purely artistic activity / it is about how photography alters our vision about architecture and constructs new ideas for architectural discourse. By taking Tabanlioglu Architects&#039 / Dogan Media Center building in Ankara as a key study, this thesis aims to focus this alteration and question the potentials of architectural photography.

O foco principal desta dissertação é o estudo da relação entre arquitetura e fotografia, tendo como premissa o fato de que o registro fotográfico nunca é neutro e sempre apresenta uma versão particular sobre aquilo que registra. A pesquisa trata especificamente da exposição Le Corbusier - Novo Mundo do Espaço (New World of Space), organizada pelo The Institute of Contemporary Art de Boston (ICA) em 1948 e realizada também no MASP em 1950, com utilização de muitas fotografias. Buscamos contribuir para o estudo do papel da fotografia na mediação entre o público e a arquitetura nos museus modernos, espaço de difusão e afirmação de ideias no campo da arquitetura e cultura modernas. O arquiteto franco-suíço Le Corbusier, cuja obra foi apresentada na exposição estudada, é considerado um dos maiores protagonistas do modernismo. Expoente da arquitetura moderna, era também um grande conhecedor da fotografia. O arquivo histórico do MASP e o acervo do Instituto Lina Bo e Pietro Maria Bardi forneceram as principais fontes para enfrentar o tema da pesquisa e especificamente da exposição, cuja descrição minuciosa e análise constam desta dissertação. As perguntas que nortearam esse estudo foram: qual é o valor que a fotografia assume nas exposições de arquitetura? Será que ela pretende trazer a realidade na forma de documento ou seria uma (re)interpretação dos que nos é apresentado pelos arquitetos em seus projetos? As fotografias são apresentadas a partir de seu valor artístico ou informativo? E qual seria a relação das fotografias com os outros elementos da exposição, tais como desenhos e maquetes? Concluímos, por meio de nosso estudo, que o projeto expográfico do MASP para a montagem da exposição de Le Corbusier mostrou-se mais moderno e arrojado do que o da instituição onde a mostra foi organizada originalmente e mais condizente com a proposta da obra do arquiteto. / The main focus of this dissertation is the study of the relation between architecture and photography, based on the premise that the photographic register is never neutral and always presents a particular version of what was registered. This research is specifically about the exhibition New World of Space held by The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (ICA) in 1948 which was also presented by the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo (MASP) in 1950, including many photographs. We intend to contribute to the study of the photographs role in the mediation between public and architecture in the modern museums, considered the place for diffusion and ideas statements on the architecture and modern culture fields. French- Swiss architect Le Corbusier, whose work is presented in the exhibition in study is considered one of the most outstanding protagonist of Modern Movement. Considered to be the exponent of architectural modernism, Le Corbusier also had a great knowledge about photography. MASPs historical archives and the collection of Lina Bo and Pietro Maria Bardi Institute were the main source of information for this research and specifically for the exhibition itself, which detailed description and analysis can be found here. The present study was guided by the following questions: what is the value of photography on architectural exhibitions? Does photography intends to show the truth as a document or is it a (re)interpretation of what is presented to us by the architects in their projects? Are the photographs presented for their artistic or informative value? And what is the relation between photography and the other elements of the exhibition, such as sketches and models? Based on our studies our conclusion is that the expographic project in MASP is more modern and aldacious, in accordance with Le Corbusiers work proposal.

Architecture and photography have always been closely interacted since the invention of photography in the late 1830s.While architecture has been captured as one of the main subjects of photography, photography has served architecture as a valuable tool of representation. Focusing on the frame defined by Victorian Britain, this study tries to capture intersecting histories between photography and architecture. Accordingly three intersections were defined: the first intersection corresponds to the simultaneous development of photography and architectural photography / the second to theinteraction between architectural photography and architectural theory/practice / and the third to the relation between architectural photography and architectural historiography.

Publicação realizada pelo MoMA/NY, em 1943, intitulada Brazil Builds e que, ainda, instaura uma matriz historiográfica para a arquitetura brasileira, vinculando a arquitetura tradicional com as realizações dos arquitetos modernos. Trata-se do dimensionamento da cultura nacional, na primeira metade do século XX, especificamente em relação à política cultural levada a cabo pelo ministro Gustavo Capanema, durante a República Nova e sua decorrência no campo da arquitetura. Finalmente, discute-se a construção de uma cultura visual da arquitetura a partir da uma série de documentos visuais realizados por diversos fotógrafos, dentre os quais se destaca G. E. Kidder Smith. Cultura visual que se pretendia como ordem da cultura nacional, neste caso, ordem de uma cultura arquitetônica moderna brasileira / Abstract: This Master's dissertation aims to understand one of the most important works published about a Brazilian modern architecture. Publication accomplished by the MoMA/NY, in 1943, entitled Brazil Builds it was responsible for the foundation of a historiographic matrix for the Brazilian architecture, vinculating the traditional architecture with the modern architects. It is also about the dimensioning of the national culture in the first half of the 20th century, specifically related to the national cultural politics taken by the minister Gustavo Capanema, during the New Republic and its influence to the architecture. Finally, it talks about the construction of a visual culture to the architecture by a series of visual documents done by photographers, amongst who G. E. Kidder Smith stands out. Visual culture that was intended as an order of the national culture, in this case, order of a Brazilian modern architectural culture / Mestrado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Mestre em História
