Catalog: Architectural Memory - Photography and Modern and Contemporary Architecture

Catalog for the exhibition "Memory of Architecture: Photography and Modern and Contemporary Architecture" held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum in 2008. Featuring approximately 400 photographs, from those documenting Meiji-era architecture to contemporary art photography, the catalog explores how modern and contemporary architecture has been captured by photographers of the same era. It examines the transitions and intersections of architectural history and photographic history, introducing the diverse expressions of architectural photography as a visual art.
