THE URBAN FACTS
From the GroßstaAdt to the small town, Alejandro Sala, an architect specialising in architecture | captures urban spaces (Australia, USA, Europe) through his landmarks: buildings, monuments, streets, green spaces, historic buildings...
My 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 my studies on the composition of urban spaces.
As director of the agency Apspressimage, I worked for several years in editorial photography. My 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 lying behind the cities as structures of relations. I remember Gordon Cullen's 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 my 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 and roads. THE URBAN FACTS produces an emotional reaction in the community, always at the centre of urban life.
