dear designboom reader,

photography can unveil what’s hidden in plain sight and bring out the subtle allure of architecture.

it’s the medium marc goodwin used to document the workspaces of some of taiwan's architecture studios. photographs can also highlight angles that viewers may not have seen yet, such as danica o. kus’ shots of the monumental staircase that meanders within the national library of france.

the lens can bridge the past and present too, a way to preserve history like james kerwin’s images of the hidden mosques across turkey's most remote villages. photography then can be an archivist’s tool to explore old and new structures, the way manuel alvarez diestro did in hong kong.

thanks for reading!
