Description
This book collects together new architectural photography by Karl Lagerfeld, including the celebrated buildings of Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando. Central to Lagerfelds aesthetic are the buildings architectonic details, and the title Konkret Abstrakt Gesehen (concrete seen abstractly) reveals the basis of Lagerfelds vision. He sees architecture as not merely functional, but a source of abstract patterns, forms, lines and textures, defined by light in space. Lagerfelds aim is thus not to document the structures he sees, but to re-conceive them in photographic form.
