Architecture of the real is a book about both architectural
design and photography. Architectural design because it focuses on the work of twelve practices and turns a critical eye on contemporary French production. Photography because it presents atypical images made by photographers who are active in contemporary art,
and who propose a new realist view of architecture -
since the buildings are photographed in their inhabited
state and everyday context.
