Description:

The title of the project brings the viewer to the Crystal Palace by architect Joseph Paxton, presented at the World's Fair in London's Hyde Park in 1851. This building is associated with the emergence of modern architecture, characterized by features such as lightness, modularity and prefabricated construction.

A little later, in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, Vladimir Shukhov also developed ideas for lightweight and durable structures. Shukhov's engineering discoveries are essentially a recursion, an endless continuation. The lightweight modular design is multiplied many times over and becomes a durable object that can withstand heavy loads.

The Crystal Pavilion project include 8 graphic sheets made with gel pen on coated paper using reishin and stencils.

Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures such as towers where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an object high off the ground, but hyperboloid geometry is also often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy. The first hyperboloid structures were built by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov in 1896.

Гиперболоидные конструкции - это архитектурные конструкции, спроектированные с использованием гиперболоида. Часто это высокие конструкции, такие как башни, где структурная прочность геометрии гиперболоида используется для поддержки объекта, также такая геометрия  часто используется для декоративного украшения или для экономии конструкции. Первое гиперболоидное сооружения построил русский инженер Владимир Шухов в 1896 году.

Photographers: Denis Esakov

Denis Esakov is a photographer and artist currently based in Berlin. Denis is present with his work on his instagram. We are glad to present Denis’ architectural photography via Architectuul’s Pinterest Board. 

How did you started with architectural photography? I have been shooting geometric abstraction already for several years. The subject of my photographs was the city and its architecture. At the beggining I didn't fully understand the context and mainly followed the aesthetics. After a while I realized that such a way was no longer satisfying me anymore so I talked to experienced photographers, who advised on expanding my area of interest.

“Do not take pictures of a part of an architectural object, but of architecture entirety.” I followed this advice. And from this point started my passion for architecture. One local city media outlet offered me to shoot Moscow modernist buildings for the series of articles. I started reading books about architecture and getting more into the context around it.

Gradually I started working with other media, showing my projects to different publishers. One project, the Fifth Facade, was published in many major architectural media outlets around the world. It was noticed by DOM publisher from Berlin and resulted in a book on Moscow architecture photographed from a drone.

What is the role of photography in architecture; which is your approach? Many architecture students are following my Instagram profile. My detailed architecture photo series provides them with knowledge about objects they have never seen themselves, in different parts of the world.

I'd like to highlight the role of the memory as I document stages of the construction and the finished object. In this process I should be as unbiased as possible, so that the photos act as a witness and don’t distort the reality. One of the most important tasks of photography is to show the architecture in the context of the city. 

The Biosphere and Flower Pavilion by Barkow Leibinger, Potsdam (2000-2001).

Often, architects are not satisfied how their object is situated in the city so they retouch photos in Photoshop to remove surrounding buildings to get a “perfect picture”, which looks like a render. I don't like retouching. When I photograph an object, its environment is already part of the story and composition. The environment is an important part of the architecture.

How do you work; what is your approach? I'm looking for information and context about the object. Who is the architect? What political, historical details surround this building? Then the first personal acquaintance with the object happens on site. This is very exciting for me as it's one of the moments when I can't control time. 

Anti-Villa by Arno Brandlhuber + Markus Emde and Thomas Schnieder, Krampnitz lake near Potsdam, (2010-2015).

For hours at a time, I'm walking around the building and following the sun, my only light. I enter the building only if it is possible. I'm going far away to understand the city around, facilities and their interaction. I make a lot of pictures within these hours. The next task is really hard - I need to select them. I show the photos as a sequential journey through the building, sometimes with abrupt transitions to different parts of it to show continuities or conflicts. Unlike the real walk, this photo series allows creating a more coherent story about the object, which shows the architecture more objectively and detailed than a single image.

The Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind, Berlin (1989-2001). 

What are the difficulties? The idea, time and light. Often there is not much time to take pictures. I like to fantasize what kind of props or characters would help to make the story more detailed. Light, of course, is a key condition for taking pictures. It is important to determine the light in a way which allows a sincere story about the building to emerge. Please don’t take pictures only with default romantic sunsets or dawns!

What are you currently working one? I shoot objects for architects, mostly in Germany, since I live in Berlin. But I am happy to visit other places. At the same time, I'm working on my projects. Now the main project in progress is about the Third Moscow Transport Ring. It is about a huge wild highway space surrounding the city center. Neither the city rules nor Marc Augé's concept of the non-place apply there. It is something else. This space is extremely generous with revealing new insights about the urban environment. I plan to complete this project in a year and publish it.

What is your inspiration as an architectural photographer? It's hard to highlight just one source. I read a lot. I can spend many hours in the Pro QM bookstore flipping through books. I follow contemporary art, urban activism. I like to walk around the city. All these situations are a generous source of inspiration for me.
