Architecture and Time

Professional winner: Simon Kennedy

‘Berlin is a fascinating city, particularly in the way that it relates to its own history. Photographed with a large-format camera on sheet film, during many trips to Berlin over several years, these buildings are from a particular period of heroic optimism. Sculptural and idiosyncratic, they resist their rapidly gentrifying urban context.’

Special Mention: Matt Emmett

‘For the last five years, photographing the architecture of northern Europe in its final weeks and months before demolition or redevelopment, has become an all-consuming obsession.’ [Taken in Southern Belgium]

Amateur winner: Babak Eslahjou

‘I like buildings and the scene to be the only things that the viewer sees. It forces the viewer to feel the emotion that the building or collection of built elements create.’ [Taken in Mumbai]
