This exhibition explores connections between architecture and photography, from methods of spatial representation to the relationships between the real and virtual worlds in each discipline. It examines the responses of artists to the ideals of modern and postmodern design, and explore the connections between the immersive natures of both photography and architecture and the networks of spatial relationships on which they depend. Topics explored include architecture as idealized public space, the idea of progress, and the challenge of how to represent it photographically.
