City of Justice (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The City of Justice of Barcelona is an architectural complex made up of nine buildings that house judicial offices. It was built between 2003 and 2008 and designed by the architects David Chipperfield and Fermín Vázquez.
The project included a series of buildings with a common stylistic stamp but with their own particularities. They are buildings with a prismatic shape, of different heights, with structural concrete facades in nine different colors, obtained by using the color of their mass with iron oxide pigments, except for the green tones, which are based on chromium oxide.
The facades of the buildings present a continuous surface of windows and buttresses, with a full-empty reticular scheme, which together with the irregular layout of the buildings and their diverse orientation, with volumes rotated in different directions, provides a sensation dynamics to the whole and a game of different and varied perspectives.
AUTHOR
For me photography should always tell a story.
With an architect father, his training in photography has been self-taught.
He has used different architectural photography workshops and long-term courses in documentary projects and photographic language at the Fuga and El Observatorio schools, respectively. In all cases in the city of Barcelona (Spain).
His photography tries to draw on the complexity of architectural design, light and shadow to convey the design of space in a simple but efficient way.
His photographic works have a large component of visual narrative and navigate between the documentation of the work and the urban landscape.
