Berlin After the War

Following the end of World War II, photographer Hein Gorny took spectacular aerial shots of the ravaged German capital. His son Peter explains how Hein defied a flying ban imposed by the Allies and managed to snap the dramatic shots.

NIGHTMARES ON WAX

Le Maroc

 I came across this French book, Le Maroc by Jean-Louis Miege, in the depths of the UoM library. It was published in 1952 as part of a Collection Le Beaux Pays. Although I haven't translated the text, there are some great photographs of Fez and other Moroccan cities at the time - and I'd go as far to say that nothing has changed! If you want to have a look, I'll bring it along to studio!

BMCE headquarters by Foster + Partners

Saw this on another blog, think it's a great example of traditional concept's fused with modern style and construction methods. In fact, I'm quite surprised of the sculptural quality as much of fosters + partners work revolves around technological and design driven schemes. Anyhow's it's rather beautiful I think; enjoy.
