Architect's
Eye is a nationwide photography competition for qualified UK architects.
It is split into
two categories:
1) Architecture
and Place
2) Architecture and People
The former focuses
on the aesthetics of the architecture and places it creates, while
the latter explores and celebrates the interaction of people with
the environments created by architecture. There are no restrictions
on which buildings qualify for the competition.
The
Winners of the 2009 competition were announced on Wednesday
11th November. Architecture and Place was won by John Barr's image
'Church of Light' and Architecture and People was won
by Philippe Brysses' image 'The Wedding'. Click on the images
