One of the most well-known architectural photographers of our time, Iwan Baan (*1975) has captured the creations of every architect of acclaim – from Rem Koolhaas, Herzog de Meuron and SANAA to Steven Holl Toyo Ito and Zaha Hadid.
What sets Baan's approach apart is that he photographs architectural structures within a sociological context, illustrating the way people relate to, make use of and take ownership of a building – thereby transforming it. "52 Weeks, 52 Cities" can be seen as a visual travel journal, filled with the cosmopolitan photographer's views of globalised architecture.
