Description: "This book is a sleek addition to Karl Lagerfelds ongoing photographic exploration of architecture, as seen in such Steidl publications as Factory Constructivism, Ein deutsches Haus and Konkret Abstrakt Gesehen. In Abstract Architecture Lagerfeld presents black-and-white photographs of buildings by architects such as Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando. In a novel approach to book-making, Lagerfeld transforms his original prints into an elegant wordless story. By starkly enlarging, rotating and cropping images of architectural elements such as windows, structural beams and even unassembled concrete slabs, he reduces architecture to a series of curves, lines and planes that are seemingly divorced from the buildings of which they form part. (The cover image for example, a gestural sweep of black across gold, is actually a detail of a woman standing against a façade. ) Abstract Architecture undoes our preconceptions of what architecture is, by showing that the built environments in which we work and play are a starting point for aesthetic discovery. Lagerfeld leaves us with a simple but important lesson: the harder we look, the more we see. Karl Lagerfeld, fashion designer, book dealer and publisher, began working as a photographer in 1987. He has received the Lucky Strike Design Award from the Raymond Lewy Foundation, the cultural prize from the German Photographic Society, and most recently the ICP Trustees Award at the International Center of Photographys Infinity Awards in 2007. Steidl has published most of Lagerfelds photography books, including Waterdance/Bodywave, Aktstrakt, A Portrait of Dorian Gray, Room Service, Palazzo, Metamorphoses of an American and others." -- with a bonus offer-- .
