We avoided publishing images supplied to us by architects, which were often indistinguishable from the computer renderings used to sell the scheme to developers.

We were particularly interested in photographers who challenged the prevalent way that new buildings are photographed in architecture magazines: set against blue skies; sharp angled, and pristine. Real buildings are not like that, much as architects would like their work to be represented as perfect and iconic. Buildings may look solid and un-changing, but they're actually constantly in flux, whether due to shifts in the light, changes in use and occupation, or to the deterioration of their physical fabric over time.

Isidro Ramirez's work, which I recently discovered, provides a different way of looking at buildings. I particularly like his series 360 Degrees, where he has photographed blocks of flats in East Berlin. By taking four images, from each corner of the building, and laying them on top of each other, Ramirez manages to show us a 360 degree view in one image. While the block itself stays constant and sharp in the centre of the frame, the ephemeral layers of graffiti, trees and plants around it, appear like ghostly moving shadows. This sounds straightforward, but apparently to achieve the affect, Ramirez approaches each image with a mathematical accuracy using the tools of a surveyor.

Ramirez's images may not offer a direct representation of the world, but they can offer a new truth through interpretation."
