URBAN SPACES

14 images Created 2 Feb 2022

From the (GroßstaAdt) to the small town, Alejandro Sala Architect, specialist in architecture+photography | Captures urban spaces (Australia, USA, Europe) through his landmarks: buildings, monuments, streets, green spaces, historic buildings...

The photographer’s experience in Venice as a university student under the supervision of James Stirling and Rob Krier (1986-87) has indeed developed into a research topic and inspired his studies on the composition of urban spaces.
As director of the agency Apspressimage, Sala has worked for several years in the field of editorial photography. His latest work focuses however on the landscape of cities – or townscapes – tackling the subject of urban spaces. The city is seen through his lens as a complex system of landmarks, and it is described through a series of photographs that portray the different urban realities laying behind the cities as structures of relations. Alejandro Sala's remember his Gordon Cullen work research about the British architect and urban designer who was a key motivator in the Townscape Movement.

The city is therefore the subject of Sala’s research, presented as a dramatic element existing in the everyday environment, in a state of constant evolution. From the huge metropolis (Großstadt) to the small town, we are shown spaces through their landmarks: buildings, monuments, parks, roads, billboards. Everything produces an emotional reaction in the community which is always at the centre of urban life. Through this series, Sala stresses how the landmarks of modern civilisation are often an evidence of the degenerative process of contemporary cities' existence.
