this week dan mountford has provided me with endless inspiration. Double exposures within the shots happen 'in camera' and then he uses photo editing software to further enhance them into beautiful finished images as shown below. I love the mix of analogue and digital technology in his pieces, something I have been considering a lot lately in the current state of architectural education and practice. I think that it is equally important to master both physical and digital tools of production, manifestation and communication within architecture and design at large. In order to arrive at the best outcome, it is important to be able to throw into the ring whatever technique is best suited to achieving the end result, regardless of how archaic. no?
Anecdote - I went to by perspex today to make a model and the lady at the checkout said
" I didn't think architects ever made models anymore. I thought they did everything on super high tech expensive computer systems that are invented by astronauts". I had so many responses racing through my head, what a funny thing to say! Crazy! ...and ended up just saying
"yeah, pretty much...".
