Всемирный конкурс архитектурной фотографии The Art of Building подвел итоги года. Жюри отобрало 12 завораживающих кадров, которые балансируют на грани между иллюзией и реальностью. При этом признания удостоились не только высококлассные работы профессиональных фотографов, но и яркие снимки талантливых любителей, сделанные при помощи обычных смартфонов.

The House of the Black Madonna is a cubist building in the Old Town area of Prague, Czech Republic. The building was designed and built between 1911 and 1912 . Josef Gocár built the house as the first example of cubist architecture in Prague, and it remains probably the most celebrated.

This image encapsulates for me the sense of light and colour in photography that I enjoy most, and which are important to my work. The blue frame offers a cinematic view as entering into a new dimension and the soft tones of the early morning light captures the calmness and quietness of the building in its setting.
