A beautiful black and white with high key effect, quite rare idea in architecture photos. The shapes are remarkable, and above all the triangular shape of the dark floor is perfect. Also there are different types of patterns. Congratulations to the photographer.

A beautiful image of minimalist architecture in black and white, whose strength is the strong contrast between the areas in light and those in shadow. The clear shapes that come out are very interesting, with a dynamic diagonal effect. Excellent choice of vertical format.

A truly extraordinary point of view for this architectural photo that has a lot of dynamism, so much so that the architectural structure of this skyscraper almost seems to form a spiral. Of particular interest is the diagonal that starts from the lower left corner and ends in the upper right one. Excellent image quality, with perfect focus from the closest to the farthest part. Congratulations for this work.

This is not the typical image of architecture that takes up the scratch cards of a large metropolis, but we are in a small rural village in Mexico. This very well composed photo has its strengths in the extraordinarily vivid colors, blue and orange, which are complementary colors. Kudos to the photographer for this great shot.

Really beautiful and well done this image of a residential area of the city of Olomouc, taken from the helicopter. The elements that strike the eye are two, the stratification of the buildings, which creates really interesting shapes, interspersing the colored parts with the gray, prdinato and good-looking roofs. And then the colors, red, yellow and green, really well integrated into this perfect image.

A beautiful photograph that is very particular for the theme in question, architectural exteriors, where we imagine the facades of skyscrapers. Really rare to be able to photograph the underneath of a building. Congratulations to the photographer for the excellent subject, for the precise composition, and for the imagination.

A stunning black and white architectural image, which gives a strong sense of power. This skyscraper, thanks to the shot obtained from below with a wide angle, reminds me of a whale that is jumping out of the water. Excellent conversion to black and white, congratulations to the photographer.

An almost abstract architectural image, which at first glance is difficult to analyze. We are in Bangkok, and this is a residential complex. The photo has really beautiful shapes. I also find the blues of the windows and that vertical line fantastic. I am also impressed by the quality and cleanliness of this image. Congratulations to the photographer!

This image particularly appeals to me for a reason, I think the color combination between black and orange is really gorgeous. The composition is appreciable, which enhances the shapes thanks to the vertical format. Remarkable is the cleanliness of the image. Congratulations to the photographer.

A technically perfect image of a Bangkok residential building exterior. I like everything about this image, starting with the beautiful blue and yellow colors. The column of windows in the center of the image is enhanced by the two white lines that form this particular geometric design. Congratulations to the photographer!

The point of view from which this photograph was taken is truly spectacular! The walls so close together create an almost claustrophobic effect, and maximize the perspective and depth of the field. Excellent idea of diagonally tilting the image. Congratulations to the photographer!

In the midst of many photos of modern buildings and tall skyscrapers, this photo of the small village of Bosa, in Sardinia, is truly splendid. Houses of all colors undoubtedly help, but the photographer did a good job in both shooting and post-production.

Really spectacular this image that shows us a series of large condominiums! The pattern based on shapes and colors is very interesting, but the strong point of the image is the composition, with a perfect viewing angle, and a cut capable of enhancing the repetition. Congratulations to the photographer!

Brief

See more contest details

Urban architecture encompasses all the buildings found within our towns and cities. Often with limited space available, buildings combine functionality and practicality with design, and encompass the full range of architecture - retail, offices, hotels, high rises, museums, hospitals, apartment blocks, urban residences, public buildings, and government buildings. Many signature buildings exist within our urban spaces, designed by the world’s great architects. But they are also home to many nondescript buildings that have more of a focus on affordability.

This image of the exterior of this huge condominium in Hong Kong is truly incredible! The composition is appreciable, and the pattern based on shapes and colors benefits from the particular inclination that the shadows create. Congratulations to the photographer!
